Inside Out: L1P and Freeskier Magazine visit Montreal

From a personal standpoint, 2005 was a tumultuous year. After having travelled and pretty much done as I please for about a year, I returned to school to start the infamous law degree. One of the most productive things I did during my sabbatical was intern with Level 1 Productions, an independent film company based in Denver, Colorado. " Working" in the ski industry, while at times stressful due to politics, deadlines, and the general stupidity and lazyness of some guys ( including myself), is a super positive experience which I highly recommend. Working with L1P has afforded me the opportunity to meet tons of people, learn about self-motivation, and most importantly, explore the creative boundaries of my mind.

However, it is also worth noting that the L1P internship program is also an excellent avenue to practice and master shovelling techniques. The art of shovelling is totally underrated; the sacrifices ( cold feet, cold fingers, Berman tossing snow in your face) are numerous, but the rewards are plentiful. You get to witness first hand the exploits of the 10-12 best skiers in the world first hand, as well as take your own pictures for personal amusement.

With that in mind, enjoy my little photo essay.
