Last week I went on my first Cruiser Ride of the year. We met up at our new start location at Salzburg Park ready for the first warm Thursday of the year. Unfortunately it turned cold and windy right before the start! Oh well, we had a great time anyway, but I sure am eagerly awaiting warm summer nights. According to the weather man it isn’t going to happen this week either. I brought my camera but didn’t take too many photos. Here is my favorite one: Jeff rockin’ the downhill curb ride on a big chopper swing bike under the St. Julian.
Wadda Ta my Dillies?!? This past Saturday I awoke with a fairly significant sore throat. Bummer. It’s Ski Jam Day! So what’s a guy to do? Well, if you are me then you suck it up, put on The Cosby Sweater, drown the scratchiness with adult beverages, and keep on shootin’. I was pretty much going to get sick anyway, so there was no point in missing out on the annual party of the year! As you can see I powered my way through it, but man, I paid for it the next 2 days.
This year the ol’ SkiJam took off to a whole new level. We took over 3 designated spots on ‘The Beach’ at Arapahoe Basin, had 300 people, several DJs, a full bar, grilled breakfast and lunch, and a ‘Fashion Show’ complete with stage and stripper pole!
After the high flying debauchery on the stage, we took to the bunny slope for some good old fashioned snow sliding. There were inner tubes, ski-bikes, sleds, and of course everyone’s favorite . . . beer cartons!
So here they are, the eagerly awaited Steve Z SkiJam 4 Photos! I even put them into a slideshow, since I haven’t made one of those for a while. I’ve spent WAY to much time putting this together, so I hope y’all appreciate it! See you next year!

Last week I was hired to photograph a corporate event outside of Denver in Golden; the opening of a new high-tech mineralogy research lab at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden. The project was largely made possible through a partnership with the Australian based Intellection Corp. There were all kinds of mineralogy rock stars in attendance. Rock Stars? Um, anyway, Intellection donated one of their innovative QEMSCAN automated mineral analysis systems, which is probably a big deal if I knew much of anything about rocks. The lab looked pretty impressive, but the coolest part was the CSM geology museum. The collection is completely amazing, colorful, and unique. I want to go back sometime when I have my macro lens and take some more cool pics! If you are reading this and are interested in more information about the AMRC Opening, then you can read the Intellection Press Release here.
