We got up to Swan Mountain midday and within 100 yards of the car we were setting up for the half-circle shot. We were just so amazed at how nice the day became that I don't think we could have done wrong with a picture.
Being that it's early season, I hit a bunch of undergarbage while Eliot shot. But in between lurkers there was an amazing softness to the snow. It was kinda like pure cane sugar de-molassesed. Pretty sure that's not a word but anyways, I remember the silent shout of the snow as I threw on the brakes after jumping over the hiking trail.
ppphhhhhhhh....
Our goal when we set out was to get a shot of board-slapping the piles of snow on top of these picnic benches with a crazytime beautiful view of the lake behind them. The snow was too light to build a bumper with, so we didn't get that done, but we still had a great time. Bluebird day, huge views, and truly great company. I had a great day. I think the neatest part of this shoot is that there isn't really enough snow right now to do much off-piste and we still went out there and had fun.
