Parker Ridge - BackCountry Skiing

I 'joined' the ski club this year as a volunteer photographer for the Freeride Team. Due to an unfortunate incident, the leader of the team slipped into a comma and passed away over Christmas.

These are some photos from our time out at Parker Ridge near Jasper, AB

New Beginnings

WOW!

It's been 1/2 a year since I last posted. Sorry to all you loyal readers haha.

Really, this blog should:
1) Summarize Sept-Dec
2) Summarize 2007
3) Include my New Years Resolution
4) Summarize Christmas and January

Instead, I'll write whatever I want because YOU can't do anything about it :)

As of this month, Jon and I have started a new company called
Something New Photography specializing in wedding, sports and events photography based out of Calgary. We're in the process of getting our website up and running and by the end of the month we'll have a killer website and a new blog.
I intend to keep this blog going for friends, co-workers and random people who stumble upon this blog.

Sept-Dec I joined UCTC (University of Calgary Triathlon club) with the hopes of completing my first Triathlon this summer. Swimming has been by far the hardest physical challenge so far but I've improved dramatically. My self-diagnosed ADD however, led me to sign up for the Vancouver Marathon (May 4th, 2008) and so i've been training for this since the new year. My goal of completing an Olympic or Half Ironman will be put on hold until next summer...when I actually have a bike.

I've taken up backcountry skiing and went out to Chester Lake and the 'tree triangle' in Kananaskis, AB. I've also skiied more this year than any other year thanks to the Cheung sisters.

I've been taking tons of pictures and they will definitely be posted later. I'll leave this as my first post of the year, and my first post without pictures.

Take care.
