Pooch has been up to Boreal a couple of times now. This one made it onto the homepage of the boreal website, but you can see the rest of the images on the following three links.

Stef Zeestrate – Quick slash to drop.
Nick Poohachoff grew up in Tahoe so naturally he has some sweet areas to get our shred on at. This little pillow/cliff zone is right outside of ASI. A quick 20 minute walk and your ready to have some fun. Tall Treez was on hand so look for the clips of these photos in the new movie The Lions Den.
Today in the mail came a copy of SBC’s 2010 resort guide and inside were two of my images. A full page shot of Justin Mullen and a spot shot of Nick Poohachoff. I am stoked on both images but very stoked on Justin’s Shot. Last year there was little snowfall all of January and the early part of February. This shot was taken on February 15th during the first storm we had basically had our whole trip. We were so excited to just get out and ride in the powder. We quickly had learned some easy trails through the woods at Northstar and this rock was the first hit. Justin is a powder pig and has some classy style. Hands down a great buddy and one of my favorite people to shoot with. OYA he’s from PA also.
This image of Nick Poohachoff is my most successful image to date. It has run as the Cover of Playboard Magazine #57 in Germany as well as a full page in Transworld Snowboard Magazine Vol 23. December 2009 issue. Playboard has popped my cover cherry and very big thank you to them for that.
Here is a little background on the shot that I wrote up for Playboard.
The beam that Nick Poohachoff is Frontside Boardsliding is a beam that supports an abandoned train tunnel that runs threw the backcountry know as ASI around Sugar Bowl Resort. Nick set up this jib and tested it all by himself while we were shooting another feature 500 yards away. Had he caught his nose while he was by himself he easily could have fallen and died and we would have had no idea.
