The DC crew blasted out of San Morteez, Switzerland in pursuit of better snow and they found it. A few hours drive east, they rolled directly toward the Arlberg region of Austria, where snow had been pounding down for days. Upon their arrival, the clouds broke open and the skies went blue. Dudes charged. Here’s some scrappy-ass images from the days in Lech. Filmers and photographer Colin Adair worked the angles while I lurked around the blind spots and poached a few pics with my handy G9. The resorts of the Arlberg are all sorta connected and the ticket is universal for all the different lifts and pistes: makes it prety mellow to cruise around and explore. That’s what the crew did. Check it.
ON THE COVER:Dan Brisse and Seth Huot were chasing heavy snowfall in Anchorage, Alaska, in late November. “It was my first [night] shooting of the year,” explains photographer Andy Wright. “I can’t say I was happy about missing Thanksgiving with friends and family to go stand in subzero temps and hopefully catch a turkey dinner at Denny’s, but once we got to this roof-to-redirect setup and the lights came on, it all seemed worth it. If only I could start off every winter this way.” Amen. MORE INSIDE THIS ISSUE >>
