This year our spring shoot consisted of four park sessions,
Aspen, Whistler, Grouse Mountain and Mount Washington.
As witnessed in the blog below titled "One way to get to
the next shoot" our journey from the session at Grouse Mountain to Mount
Washington was an unforgettable experience to say the least.
To our crews delight the spring session at Mount Washington
turned out to deliver unexpected pow freshies for all to enjoy.
But the Highlight of the trip was the night of KAZU aka
GIZO. A few of the crew on our last night went out for Gizos B-day and did it
up pretty well as you will see, look for the DVD easter egg aptly named Night
of Gizo. http://www.alternaactionfilms.com/blog/mount-washington-shoot

We just finished up two of our spring time shoots and had a blast
filming these segments for our upcoming tenth anniversary release KNOCKOUT set
to release Sept 1st 2008.
These photos will give you an idea as to how we went from our
Grouse Mountain Shoot to a spring shoot on Mount Washington on Vancouver
Island. I don't think many of the crew thought we would be getting to our
shoots in this fashion.
Big
thanks to Jeff Silcock, Brent Curtain, Eric Greene, Ryan Ainsle and Kyle Washington for
making this happen so smoothly.

Thanks to julian Itagaki, Greg Boyd and Yannick Rioux we just finished an amazing time in Buttermilk Colorado. We had the X-games jump line all to ourselves and had pure comedy go down on this trip.

Our crew at Alterna recently uncovered a rumor that there was amazing snow and terrain to be found in India. We consulted some reliable sources that confirmed this issue before deciding that we should probably assemble a group to check this matter out. Myself (Eric Greene), Matt Belzile, Travis Williams, John Scarth and Carlo Wein recently made the trek across the globe to experience some of the best riding and strangest cultural adventure we could have imagined.
