194 MEGAPIXEL VAST PHOTO
Norden, California
Sometime around my 31st birthday, I decided to try snowboarding for the first time. I had no experience with skiing or board sports, but I live in Northern California and all this is right here, and a lot of my friends were into it, and we were in the middle of a historic snowy winter, so I thought I'd give it a try.
As anyone who has learned to ride will understand, the first 10 days I spent on the mountain were pretty miserable. On day 3, I fell so many times that I could barely feel my rear end, and also broke my wrist (a classic beginner injury), ending my season's progress. After healing that spring and summer, I got back out there the next season (with more protective gear this time) and pushed on. It turned out to be another pretty good winter, and although I was still very much a beginner, I was slowly progressing onto intermediate runs and quickly growing addicted to chasing fresh snow during the coldest storms. In addition to snowboarding during the day, the fresh snow provided excellent conditions for photography around the Lake Tahoe area.
The next year, I joined a ski club, which gave me the ability to consistently stay in this extremely scenic area whenever I wanted, year round. I quickly began making trips for photography as well as shredding the fresh snow. After these couple seasons, I've found one of my new favorite hobbies -- and it happens to put me in the mountains at incredibly photogenic times, and often when the access roads in are closed or restricted. This morning was one of those times, and man, was it spectacular! (And cold and windy, but the snow was great!)
