I don’t want to spill the beans on Saab’s new concept car called the Phoenix, but I was walking home from dinner in New York and happened upon a photo shoot for the vehicle.
Lucky I had my Samsung EX1 in my back pocket. Great lines, seats 4, top speed 155 mph with a partially electric driven motor it can get over 40 mpg. I dig it.
People don’t really think of LA as a ski town, but it actually can be fun. I grew up in the east coast riding the mid atlantic and the resorts around here are better than that. There are 6 resorts within a 1 hour drive of LA, I think even in Denver you have to drive farther to get to that many resorts. Today was a pow day up there for sure, here are some photos I shot on the plane on my way out today.
The view from Palos Verdes north to LA and the mountains. Surf and ski would have been easy today

I have lived in the Newport Beach/Costa Mesa area for almost 10 years and I finally got around to doing the Bike, Surf, Snow thing yesterday.
I went for a 25 mile bike ride in the morning around PCH/Back Bay/Newport Coast. Followed that up with a 2 hour surf session in Newport Beach and then made the 50 minute drive up to Mt. Baldy to snowboard for the afternoon.
Morning Road Ride around the OC.
No summer time crowds.
A left at 44th St.
It wasn't amazing, but no one out and some fun shoulders makes for a good surf session.
Riding up the lift at Mt. Baldy.
There were 7 other people on the mountain, it was empty.
The view from the top of Mt. Baldy, looking west towards the Pacific.
Surreal afternoon light.
Riley Leboe and a baby grizzly bear for Armada’s ‘Get Wild’ Campaign.
Just finished a big shoot up for Armada Skis at my home away from home: Retallack Lodge, British Columbia.
Our wrap night included Karaoke at a bar at the best ski town in the world: Nelson, British Columbia. Special Guest, Nikko Forsberg, the lead singer of Savage Blade took the mic to rock out some Zep. Savage Blade is a local metal band comprised of some of the guys from Nelson’s own BC/DC, which you guessed it is an AC/DC cover band. Can’t wait to see them next time I am up in the Kootenays!
