Lets go the week after WPPI. I have some buddies in Haines, AK that could take us flying (if they aren't booked).

Look forward to seeing you at WPPI.

Oh Man...Mike, I hear ya! I'm from Vancouver BC, and I'm used to hitting the coastal mountains around the city about 2-3 times a week in the winter season. HOWEVER...having recenting gotten married and living in Illinois now...well, mountains are a little hard to come by. My ride gear is still sitting in Van cause I have absolutely no use for it here! After reading your recent post about your 4 day intensive, I want to participate in the next one you do...and then this post got me thinking..what if for your next "Mike Colon Experience"..you include an optional Snowboarding day! Just a thought.haha. Snowboarding & Photography= just about as good as it gets!
Have an awesome week! God Bless.

This clip is amazing! The jumps are incredible - especially Shaun Whites! But, what I like most is the use of negative space in the cinematography - very inspirational. Thanks for sharing Mike!

tempting......very tempting......of course there is the Tahoe option which would only mean missing half of WPPI. lol

My friends and I used to build jumps like that up in Oregon (ok ok maybe not quite that big...) and we always called them BOOters.

Hit the BOOTER!

Yes, riding the mountain is good for the soul. I shoot skiing in the winters and weddings in the summers here in Big Sky, Montana. Thanks Mike for being such a leader in the community.
