Aspen Shoot - Part 2

 The X-Games athletes tribute to skier Sarah Burke...

 This 300 sq ft cabin was built in the 1800's. It's lived in year round.

Aspen. Photo shoot. Gondola's, Snowcats. Snowmobiles. 11,550 ft up. Good food. Great crew. Outhouses. Awesome client. Rad athletes. Fresh powder. Snowball fight. Log Cabins. Icy roads. Solar power. X-Games. Snow angels. Good times.

For this shoot some of the locations were so remote that we took a gondola to the top of Aspen Mountain, then boarded a (luxury) private snowcat (blasting rock music for our drive - of course ) and went deep into the mountains to a couple different cabins & then when needed, rode on snowmobiles to location spots. Don't let the sunny photos fool you - it was damn cold at times! Some of us hit the X-Games at night or ate dinner at some of Aspens' amazing restaurants. It was a pretty great time on and off the mountain due to the amazing crew we had!

** What you normally see in a studio setting is what we all helped take up/down the mountain for the shoot - lots of apparel, shoes & accessories, photo gear, styling kits, food & drinks, hair & make-up stuff, etc. etc. And it all has to fit in those bins on the side of the cat or inside with us... At that point packing light becomes an art!

As soon as the final shots are released I will make sure to share them with you guys - I'm super excited about them.

Missing Aspen

Been home less than a week, but already missing the rad style 
of the women in Aspen...

Says It All

Saw this rad tee by Wildfox while I was in Aspen. One side says Jet Set the other Jet Lagged. So perfect right now. I should have bought it...

Wish You Were Here

Here is a little behind the scenes look from Breckenridge last week and Aspen this week. From dining outside on shoot days, to shopping at the rad stores in Aspen, we all have a blast traveling together. And that gorgeous blonde is our make-up artist, Gillian who is always rocking the coolest looks no matter where we are. xo

Packing List - Winter X-Games / Aspen

So stoked to be here in Aspen on a photo shoot during the X-Games. But packing for a 9 day adventure that includes; shooting at night, snowboarding in the backcountry and hitting the X-Games, as well as hanging out at The Vice Roy Hotel, having late night cocktails at 39 Degree's bar and eating at the upscale restaurant, "Cash Cash", is always difficult. Damn those airlines and their 50lbs per bag limit!

My go to solution is to always do a "color story" to make packing and getting dressed from day to night a little bit easier. This time I am sticking with warm (and furry) pieces in amazing shades of brown, taupe and gold. The gold was a no brainer, I have so many athletes I am rooting for to get gold at Winter X it just seemed right.

Notes: Sorel Boots have now become a fashion statement in colder climates, Oakley Goggles are sharp in the gold color way, & look great on the mountain or when riding to location on a snowmobile. And I totally had to throw in the Alexander McQueen scarf and the CC Skye bracelet because duh, it's Aspen!

Packing List: All Saints Faslane Jacket, Oakley James Stewart Signature Series Crowbar MX Goggles, All Saints Anatolian Bag, Sorel Joan of Arctic Boot, Alexander McQueen Scarf, All Saints Roche Gilet Vest, Cable Beanie Topshop, Isabel Marant Lilou Striped Socks, CC Skye Mini Spiked Bracelet.
