Stevens Pass Teton Gravity Research Shoot

Stevens Pass teams up with Teton Gravity Research and BlueSky Creative to shoot the first ever side-by-side 3D RED ski film footage. They used the beautiful Bell 407 helicopter to chase the acrobatic skiers as they flew high above the 30ft gap jump. Stevens Pass did a similar style shoot with TGR last season but I didn't get the chance to check it out. So I was excited to hear that TGR was back for another filming session at Stevens Pass. I grabbed my gear and headed up to see the A-Team in action on a sunny May 11th 2010.

I skied up to the jumps location in Big Chief Bowl to have a look. The sky was deep blue and the cumulus clouds were doing their dance along the ridge tops, it was a spectacular weather day. When I got to the top and saw the jump I knew I wanted to get as high an angle as I could. I mostly wanted to shoot the athletes jumping but also get the chopper in the image. I have to say that I was impressed by how efficient this team worked. They really maximized getting all the filming in they possibly could. The still pictures below don't fully express how many times these guys can spin in the air but it gives you a glimpse of their athleticism, enjoy!

Snow Creek Yoga Studio

Jenni Lund and Marion Lodato from Snow Creek Acupuncture & Natural Medicine are launching a new yoga and dance studio in Leavenworth. Jenni asked to me to take some photos for their new website which is scheduled to launch on May 14th and I was happy to help. The Snow Creek Yoga Studio is located on 210 Division St. in downtown Leavenworth. I asked Jenni to tell me a little about their new studio and this is what she wrote "Snow Creek Yoga was named for the stunning place in which we reside, the sanctuary of nature that surrounds us, the power of the mountains, and the fluidity of the rivers. Our beautiful studio provides classes for all levels, workshops and special events."

Find out more at SnowCreekYoga.com . Their grand opening date is June 1st 2010 and they are throwing a grand opening party on Friday June 11th from 6pm - 8pm and everyone is invited. Call or check online to find out about current classes and events schedule, 509.548.YOGA.
