"Hey to everyone reading our posts from our roadtrip along the Andes and Patagonia. As promised on the previous update, here are some words about our looooong, but amazing trip to the hidden hut and hot springs of Cajun Grande, Argentina. To say the least, our trip over the border from Chile to Argentina some of the more surrealistic transfers I at least have ever experienced. As mentioned earlier, the driver taking us from Los Andes, across the border to Mendoza, was in a very bad mood after waiting two hours for us to come down from SkiArpa. During the ...

"Jessica Sobolowski enjoyed testing her Lifa Frost Hoodie and HH Warm under fishing waders instead of ski pants for a change... "I had a quick trip to Cordova, Alaska last week. Fortunate for us, the silver salmon fun had just started in the Copper River Delta. I knew I had a big one on as the big ones don't fight as much in the beginning, giving you the crazy chase more toward the end. Luckily my knot was tied securely and I was able to reel him in (you can tell the males as they have a big pointy nose). ...

WELCHES, Oregon (August 14, 2008) - It's hard to Hunt Yeti during the summer months, as the mythical beast migrates from the snow covered mountains, following the snow melt down river and out to the sea. Once there, the Yeti can sometimes be spotted swimming and barbequing on the beach. Therefore the Nimbus Crew set out to the beaches of Cabo, Mexico in search of the Yeti and traded in their skis for surfboards. Mr. Mahre unfortunately couldn't make the trip as his face had an accidental collision with a softball, but Pep, Eric, Chris, Erin, and some friends packed ...

Shin here dropping a little update from South America. I just had a great week in Santiago Chile area filming and doing some heli days with some crazy Russian friends of mine. My friend Maxim who owns Heli Pro (Russian Heli ski tour company... http://www.helipro.ru) invited me to come and film for a couple projects he's got going. We had 3 days of fantastic weather and snow conditions. It snowed a meter and a half when I arrived in Chile and then cleared up right after. I got to explore and see some amazing mountain ranges quite nearby Santiago city. ...

The shot rang out over Farwell Canyon as Shandro fired a round and missed... again. "Just try and lead it a little more," I said. He shouldered the twelve gauge once more and blasted three more misses. We were skeet shooting from our camp overlooking the Chilcotin River. We were three days in on a Bike Mag trip. Our mission: to explore an unknown area of northern British Columbia. Mitchell Scott was our storyteller and entertainer. Sterling Lorence was the fishing guide and photographer. Andrew Shandro was there to make fun of me. I was there to provide the artillery ...

Hello there again. A lot of things have happened since last time I had the time to sit down and share with you. Both good things and not so good things. First, our trip over to Argentina was postponed for almost five days due to a heavy snow storm in the northern part of the Andes, leaving between 50-70cm of fresh pow in Portillo, El Colorado and Ski Arpa. This meant that the border-pass closed. At a later point we found out that some of the cars and trucks wanting to pass the border had waited for nearly 4 days... ...

Setting up a summer night shoot at Mt. Hood, Oregon is no easy task. Besides the usual requisites of insurance, snow cats, sleds, patrol, lighting, riders, etc., Hood separates the men from the boys with a hefty (think 3 zeros) access fee. Needless to say, firing strobes and capturing summer action during Mt. Hood's vibrant golden hour is usually left to the pros. Thanks to Trevor Graves, Tim Zimmerman and the HCSC staff, a group of lucky HCSC Photo Session campers got the opportunity to play with Pocket Wizards and blast off some 7B Profoto kits in front of the ...
