Kim Havell and I have traveled together on ski trips to Bolivia and Antarctica. Working for Sweetgrass Productions, our trip to Bolivia was the first time I’d been hired to shoot a big trip rather than guide it.

Utah Avalanche Center Fall Fundraising Party

Tomorrow night is the Utah Avalanche Center’s Fall Party at Black Diamond.  Admission covers burritos and Uinta Brewing beer and your dollars go to a great cause – keeping the UAC’s forecasts rolling through the winter.  As the UAC’s federal and state funding get chipped away with each new legislative season, fundraisers like this one have become essential for the UAC’s operation.

Along with music, food, and drink, there’ll be a live auction with tons of gear, services, and art donated by the SLC community.

Here’s a woodcut of mine that’ll be up for grabs in the silent auction:

See you there!

I had an interview with Camp4 Collective earlier this week.  The content that C4C produces is excellent, but I was also impressed when Tim Kemple  explained their ideal-driven management strategies. Emphasis on pursuing continued education, plus the team’s collaborative decision-making had me intrigued.  Seems like a pragmatic company.  The interview was inspiring enough that I made a time-lapse “thank you” that afternoon.
