Brother's Nordic Poster

Hey quick post.
My brother Sylvan Ellefson is a professional cross country skier and was in need of a poster to be put together.  Me being a photographer and us being brothers, I decided to help him out with a night shoot out on the nordic track near his house.  Here is the poster I threw together in photoshop. He is currently on fire with winning his last 3 races and looking for #4 this weekend in the legendary American Birkebeiner in Hayward, WI. You can follow my brother on twitter at @sylvanellefson and on his blog on fasterskier here. Cheers!

Beaver Creek Blue Bird

Saturday Feb 12th was a warm sunny spring day.......in the middle of February.  Weird I know but I took advantage of the good weather and headed up to Beaver Creek to shoot some photos of Lucas Evans and Nick Franco who were playing around on some of the park features they had up.  I got some really cool shots for not being as mobile as a photographer as I would like because of my knee.  I don't have much else to say as I hope the photos speak for themselves.  Look for a post of my brother's cross country poster I am making soon!

Dissapointment in the Mountains

This weekend I decided to head up to Vail and Beaver Creek to hopefully shoot some photos with some friends in the Beaver Creek Terrain Park. However, I awoke on Saturday morning to 11" new at BC and since I am still not allowed to ski yet, a terrain park shoot and taking photos at all was out of the question. I was also planning on doing a Night time/dawn shoot for my brother, Sylvan Ellefson, who is a professional Cross Country Skier. Because of him winning a race in Sun Valley, ID, he had to change his flight, missing the Packers own in the Super Bowl and our shoot. I did happen to take these photos of Avon, CO roundabout and town while i wasn't skiing. Look for more photos of skiing soon as I will be back on the hill soon! Go Packers!

Telemark Skier Magazine Shoot at Breckenridge

Last Wednesday I bared the -20 deg wind chills at Breckenridge to hook up with some old friends to shoot some photos in Park Lane. Josh Madsen, one of the editors of Telemark Skier Magazine, called me up to shoot some photos that they could post up on their website and social media outlets. He brought Alex Paul and Dylan Garner to get some shots on the video camera, as well as in front of my lens. Here are some of the B-Roll photos as the A grade photos I will be saving for my submission to the magazine later in the year. All blog posts from now on will be that way. If i am planning on making a submission to a specific magazine, the best photos won't be put up, but I will still post quality images up no matter what.
If you have a facebook (don't lie), you should "like" Telemark Skier Magazine or head over to their website to see the same photos and for the latest in Telemark news.
Enjoy these photos and my first skiing photos post in a long time.

Sickstickz SIA booth with some Roaring Lion Flavor

Hey quick post here,
This weekend at the Denver Convention Center in beautiful downtown Denver, CO the Snowsports Industry of America, or better know as SIA, had their trade show. Local pole company Sickstickz had a small booth to promote their new pole line and set up meetings with product info sessions for current and potential shop customers. Since I was helping them out all weekend, I was asked to take some photos that they could throw on their website to update all of their followers. Roaring Lion Energy kept us up an running all weekend so a big shout out to them.
Here are some of the shots!
Stay Tuned for some skiing photos very soon as I'm headed to the mountains tomorrow. Still not skiing yet though :(
