    February Wall Art Sales

    The months following the holidays tend to be slow as far as landscape wall art sales go. But, here are two of my most recent sales that a client took some final product phone pics of and send back to me. Below that is an additional images that sold as a exhibit mount metal print.…

  • Summit View, Clouds Rolling In

    Summit View, Clouds Rolling In

    Black and white summit view late in the day with the next set of clouds rolling in and another storm on the way. It truly feels like spring now, but winter stuck around in the Sierra into spring. “Miracle March” was exactly what our snowpack needed and it provided some great riding/skiing conditions throughout the…

  • Spring Storm, Clouds Lifting

    Spring Storm, Clouds Lifting

    Clouds opening up and the lake coming into view in the distance at the tail end of a spring storm. I have a feeling this was my last true winter conditions ski tour of the season. Not quite a deep powder day, but almost, and plenty of coverage for April. Lake Tahoe Basin. April 2024.

This was a new tour for me and we would definitely choose a different line on the approach next time (probably our descent line),…

    Echo and Yuba Make National News During Tahoe Blizzard

    Echo can create her own path and power through almost any amount of snow but at 12 Yuba will wait for me to go first, which is understandable. After sharing this video during the Tahoe blizzard I signed an agreement with a licensing agency to distribute the footage. It was then shown on Fox News…

    Sierra Nevada Black and White Meadow/Mountain View, Clouds Moving in

    This image was taken yesterday in windy conditions just before sunset, as more threatening clouds moved in. I liked that there was more light hitting the peak in the distance than the other parts of the scene. Despite the unsettled weather we are not expecting much accumulation from these mini storms, but they tend to…

    Lake Tahoe Leap Year Blizzard Footage (2.28.24 – 3.2.24)

    This storm was impressive, to say the least. Winds were relentless and we went from having an insignificant snowpack at lake level (6,200 – 6,300 ft) to being completely buried over the course of a long weekend.
