Photographing a Ski Mountain for a friend - (Which picture makes you want to ski?)

in idaho •  6 years ago  (edited)

THE STORY

So my friend took over ownership of Pebble Creek Ski Mountain in Idaho...and I happened to be driving past where he lives and he asked if I wanted to take the next exit and get some shots of the mountain with some newly fallen snow.

WHICH PICTURE?

So here's the question for the post... which picture makes you want to ski? Meaning which picture would you use to advertise a ski mountain? (Like on social media)

So I took the exit and came and photographed the mountain

And up and down the LIFT we went and got some great shots of mostly unmolested snow

SHAY

I've talked about Shay in previous photoshoot posts and mentioned his popular youtube and instagram pages. it's weird to think his one youtube page and maybe his instagram gets more traffic than all of steem put together. Anyway he does love the idea of steem and I've told him https://steempeak.com is getting to a place where we can not only be a viable place for creators like him... but hopefully an exciting place.

THE SNOW

In any case there is something so beautiful about freshly fallen snow... I won't get into the full story but it was a late spring snow storm that kind of led to me becoming a photographer.

A little visit from Dr Seuss trees

As you can see the views are first class

Several of these shots are requests like to get the names of the runs.

It'll be interesting to see which ones they end up using... I'll have to go back more often this year.

And now time for the best shot of the day. haha (thanks shay)

I am so envious of your SNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!

Of course I have never had or touched a snow, much less do skiing! hahahahaha poor me. Whow knows life will be good to me, that someday I would be able to check my bucketlist on this...And looking all your captures just made my love for snow even stronger! Even if I think I wouldnt be able to take the cold.. hahaha..no no no I aint Elsa, the cold bothers me I have thinned skin!

The best shot that I like was the JUMP SHOT! you nailed it!

Keep inspiring us more of your great shots. Good luck on your photography career!

Cheers!

Haha yeah a lot of the world probably has never seen snow... i grew up in california near the ocean and many people there never had seen snow either.

Anyway thanks for the comment and glad you like the pictures

You said it right! There is something in snow that makes us all happy..

No problem.. thanks for the awesome gallery!

#4 made my jaw drop.. that is the one I can see in an advertisement. Stunning, seriously stunning 😍

Thanks. Just like you ;)

Haha! Thanks 😊❤️ But seriously.. your photos win this round 😜

Numers 4, 11 and 15 are the one I would use on a commercial... especially number 4. And I do am missing skying, been 5 years since last time! Great photo session!

Some great snowy shots, my friend. Love that first one, but some of the others with just the snowy landscape really caught my eye. I'm a little ashamed that in all the years I lived in Utah, I only went skiing once! LOL

I don't want to ski but #4 makes me want to snowboard! I really dig #13 too but not as a ski resort marketing photo. Looking good!

Thanks... I forgot to mention snowboard i'm sure there's a lot of that happening up there as well.

Squaw Valley Ski Resort is claiming 6 feet already. They like to exaggerate but it's probably close to that.

10 and 13 are sweet... Though don't necessarily make me wanna ski. That help? ;)

Yes it helps... i mean i don't ski either and i'm not even living in Ohio.

We have one of the best hills you'll ever see! Who needs mountains where you can ride for a half hour, when you have something for thirty seconds?

#11 (Wedgie, so many questions) and #14.
Also I'm coming to Idaho. Don't know when, but I'm coming.

Why Idaho? I'm mostly in Utah... but idaho is just a quick drive i guess.

And the runs edgie and wedgie are right next to eachother. haha

Amazing. That snow is gorgeous, great pictures.

thanks

Ahaha, unmolested snow...Killer shots! Winter wonderland. Hopefully I'll get to play in some snow this year.

yeah it's the time of the year when you are careful about where you put your footprints so that you don't ruin any potential shots. haha

Oh my goodness gracious, that SNOW makes me want to ski, and these pictures are awesome. Guess you're glad you contacted him on the way by, haha!

Haha yep... thanks for letting me get distracted while on the phone with you.

Hey, I'm always happy to just sit back and let greatness happen.

Wow... Can I chose all of them? These are stunning photos. I have a fondness for shadows and I love that you included that great Shadow shot in this collection of photographs! The snow on the trees is incredibly beautiful.

Woah awesome always a fun surprise when this happens.

All of them are amazing! I want a deep snow like that in Estonia god dammit :D

Wow, those are amazing shots you got! Your friend is very nice to have invited you and witness such beautiful sight.

Your question is tough to answer because all shots are very inviting for skiing, which I wish I know how! If I really have to pick then I'll go for 4, 5, 11, 14, 15. So have you gone skiing over there? 😊

I love the weather @jarvie. Your friend took over ownership of Pebble Creek Ski Mountain in Idaho, mean you can ski every year in his place? I start to envy now.. although I don't know how to ski. I would love to learn if I have chance.

My country do not have 4 seasons. I always want to feel the snowwwww... All of your photos nice.. I cannot choose which are the best photos. Any of it also can make me want to ski. Blue sky and white snow is a perfectly match. It give a calm and soothing feel. Smart of you guys, dress in striking color yellow and red in a white snow. Of course, you guys look handsome.
I start to envy you because you have a friend own a ski mountain.

I got a cold just looking at these. Love how you always take every angle posible Scott. Awesome as always.

5 Great angle and perspective, has non-distracting people

14 Beautiful shot and tells the story.

7 Would be great if Shay had his skis on :)

I definitely prefer N4, because it looks more natural not like just clear blue sky like photoshop but the clouds far bellow that building up such thin soft blanket and the sky is slightly warmer, the cabins and cabin line gives you perspective how high everything is. But all together, all the pictures are really great, nice cold winter day.

I would love to be able to say that all the photographs. but undoubtedly # 4 is the best to answer the main question of the post. excellent pictures. I loved them all. Do you know what is the saddest? I have never been to a place where there is snow u.u

I don't know snow u.u like Jon snow Know nothing

They are the most beautiful pictures I have seen today, I was waiting for pictures like you are on the platform, and finally they arrived <333 and you can not imagine what I love each one, everything is so white and beautiful.

Friend are the most perfect pictures I've seen, I can not stop looking at them.

Although I do not know what it feels like to ski, I'll take the 4 and 13 :D

A big hug from Venezuela .. !!
