The backstory on this photo is pretty hilarious. I was in a little honey hole zone at Mt. Baker a with Aspen Weaver and Leif Jones and we built and shot a nice poppy jump.

After the session was over, we were packing up and heading out when we ran into Blair Habenicht and Mary Rand who were looking to film in the same zone.

I opted to stay and shoot with the crew and Mary and I eyed up a slash on this untracked face. As she was talking me through her game plan she jokingly said “I’m thinking cover” and we both laughed it off.

Maybe somehow she was manifesting her own reality there, but it all turned out epic. This photo ended up being the cover photo for the November 2022 issue of Snowboard Mag.
