This past week, two of our friends/athletes competed in the Salt Lake Shootout. It is a photography contest that pairs athletes with photographers. The photos they take are then judged in different categories for cash prizes. It’s no surprise to us that both Jason West and Andy Jacobsen were in some of the winning photos.

Photographer: Kevin Winzeler Athlete: Jason West. This photo of Jason won for best air and best in show.

photographer: Liam Doran athlete: Andy Jacobsen. Andy won best powder shot, as if anyone had a chance against a Powderwhore.

Way to go guys. Jason is heading North with us to British Columbia next week to do some hut skiing, and Andy will be going to Haines, AK again to get some big lines. They are both great guys and have put in a lot of time and work to get where they are. We are lucky to be able to shoot with them. Read more about the shootout here.
