Vermont.
Here is a selection of images I made during two trips for an editorial with Derek Taylor from Powder Magazine. The story about people cutting and thinning trees in Vermont to make better skiing in and around ski resorts was published in the February 2009 issue, but I decided to post a little edit here as I wait for some product that I have to shoot tomorrow. Best.
Tools of the trade.

Real nice stuff. Great story from Derek. Really captured the true East coast backcountry. When it's good in the East - it's as good as anywhere.
