 Not a lot of time for blog posts these days&#8230; if you&#8217;ve been following my twitter feed you may have seen these photos, but for the blog readers here&#8217;s a couple photos from a whirlwind summer in the bush&#8230; more to come once the snow flies and the dust settles. In the meantime, peep <a href="http://youseegrznar.blogspot.com/2011/09/into-wild.html">some photos shot by my friend Jussi Grznar</a>, another snowboard photographer from Whistler who&#8217;s found his way onto my field crew for the late season madness.</p>
<p>Other random note &#8211; I&#8217;ve moved to Whistler (although I&#8217;ve only spent one night in my new place, and likely won&#8217;t be around much til November. See you then?).</p>
