Veyzonnaz 2009

A short movie shot on the last day of my holiday to Switzerland.

From Veysonnaz 2009

Veysonnaz, Switzerland and day 3 of the shred. Temperatures are high but the snow is holding out. As I type this I'm sunning myself in a will-fi enabled bar. A vast area to be had as we are in the 4 Valleys. Went to Verbier yesterday. Seems a nice town but vast. A full day to get there and back involved some very nasty drag lifts. But all in all looks very promising so long as the persistant sun doesn't see off the snow.

From Aviemore Trip 2009

Drove to Aviemore for the weekend. Not expecting much weather-wise Saturday dawned brightly. On approach to Cairngorm, the hill looked very brown. However once we got up the funicular we crossed the ice-clad Corrie Casand took the tow to the top. We made the most of what was there and as the day went on the narrow patches softened. The day was bright and cold and apart from stopping for lunch we kept going all day. The hills really need another dump of snow though. Cold bright icy then softer.

Goldeneye Goggle

I don't normally discuss work, however here is one of my recent design project I quite like.
Above is my limited edition Goldeneye White Goggle. The black version will go in to production, however the white is just a development sample.

From Glencoe 11 February 2009

Took a day off work, and what a day! I'd been watching the weather and although Glencoe had not received the amount of snow the rest of the country had recently been dealt with, I'd been watching the forecast and it was set to be bluebird. The carpark was busy but I was soon up there with my pre-paid ticket.
The snow was quite crispy and a few patches off ice were there to keep you on your toes.
There was not a cloud in the sky and temperatures were low, about -4.
I was on my own so got the whole area covered apart from the flypaper which was closed. So that left me shattered and managed to head down, belly full just before 3.00 and before it got dark.

Queens Park Glasgow February 2nd 2009

From Glasgow Snow

Jon and myself had a little after work session making the most of conditions at Queens Park in Glasgow's South side. Avoiding tots on sledges, neds and the like we managed top shred the rad just a stone's throw from our flats and even got chips afterward. How cool is that?
