I'm a Powderwhore, I wake up every day and try to find the best snow to ski. My brother, Jonah, and I run Powderwhore Productions making ski flicks based out of the Wasatch Mountains in Utah. We direct, produce, shoot, ski, travel, edit, market, ship and tour with our films. One day it may be about powder, one day is steeps, just getting out with friends, then a solo mission, followed by getting skunked on a project, X-country cardio with the dog, or creeping around not getting avalanched, nailing a line for film, then a trip to a place you've never been, bombing laps at the ski area. I'm in it for the diversity of adventures on skis, the physical challenge and the exploration.
