  • February Wall Art Sales

    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.

    East Shore Boulder Reflections

    This is one of my favorite Lake Tahoe blue sky, blue water landscapes. It was licensed to Travel Nevada a few years ago and it is now nice to see it being used here, to promote this Lake Tahoe event. East Shore Boulder Reflections Lake Tahoe Basin. May 2017.

  • Thompson Peak, Spring Conditions

    Thompson Peak, Spring Conditions

    Winter has clearly made a return to the Sierra recently but for a week in late March we experienced blue skies, calm winds, warm temps, and corn snow. True spring conditions. This was a new tour for me and we would definitely choose a different line on the approach next time (probably our descent line),…

  • Phipps Peak/Desolation Wilderness Overnight Ski Tour (Lightroom Slideshow)

    Phipps Peak/Desolation Wilderness Overnight Ski Tour (Lightroom Slideshow)

    Lake Tahoe Basin. Desolation Wilderness. February 2022. Lake Tahoe Basin overnight ski/splitboard tour to Middle Velma Lake and up Phipps Peak (9,234 ft) during spring-like conditions in February 2022. This particular peak does not get skied often because of it’s remote location. It was great to be on this peak at the end of the…

  • Frozen Meadow Sunset Skijor (GoPro 11 Mini)

    Frozen Meadow Sunset Skijor (GoPro 11 Mini)

    With cold temps, cloud cover, and strong winds it was no surprise that the snow above our meadows remained relatively frozen and fast this past week. In firm conditions like these, where the dogs can consistently stay on top of the snow it is doesn’t take much for your momentum to really pick up while…

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

    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)

    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. For licensing inquiries please email: info@davidnbraun Location: Lake Tahoe Basin. South Lake Tahoe, CA. Dates: 2.28.24, 3.1.2, 3.2.24
