Jump on a visual journey through the eye of 22 yr old Salt Lake City, Utah based photographer Andrew Miller for his season gallery. “I went through my catalogs starting from my first day shooting to my last grabbing one to two of my favorite photos from the shoot. Hope you enjoy!”
- September 15, 08 - Hot Dawgs & Handrails - Bear Mtn, California.
- October 18, 08 - Icer Air - Chas Guldemond; San Fransisco, California.
” I was pumped to go shoot this after seeing last year event in the Giant Stadium. This year was quite the downgrade to say the least. I also heard that the riders didn’t get paid and were charged for their arranged hotels and that’s wack. It was rad to hang out in the city for a couple of days though”
- November 5, 08 - Luke Mitrani & Nick Russell; SLC, Utah.

- November 12, 08 - Brighton Opening Day - Brighton, Utah.
” First day on a chair lift for the season. I snapped this photo really fast only realizing later how much I liked it. It has a great misty feel to it.”
- November 18, 08 - Keegan Valaika; Bone Zone, Utah.

- December 09, 08 - Sean Black; SLC, Utah.
“To be completely honest I really wasn’t that stoked on this rail mission. It was just one of those nights that took forever, it was super cold and I was sick and just wasn’t feeling it. The riders did do some sick stuff and I managed to get two shots this being one of them.”
- December 10, 08 - Mac Spedale; SLC, Utah.
“Another rail mission early December when the snowpack wasn’t really deep enough to go anywhere. We went to this aqueduct for a rail to concrete bank feature. I had just gotten a few gels for my flashes and I figured this would be the perfect place to test them out since I have never used them before. I have heard and read a lot of photographers and random people saying how gels are so played out and whatever but I don’t give a shit. I think that if you like it and it works with the photo its just another tool in photography to enhance your photo. “
- December 16, 08 - Brighton, Utah.
” Just another misty afternoon pow day at Brighton trying to find new zones with the crew. These are some of my favorite days on the mountain when the light is slowing popping through the fog and its still snowing. This photos captures that feeling those days for me.”
- January 03, 09 - Mac Spedale; Brighton, Utah.
“Blower!! A lot of people hate on Utah but days like these are completely worth living here. Mac Spedale will be the first person the tell you that exact same thing.”
- January 05, 09 - Mark Dangler; Brighton, Utah.
” The Dark Mangler my partner in crime for the season. We created and produced Brighton Bunch together and he also filmed for snowrev so we worked together a lot. Mark is a solid guy and amazing filmer. I’m stoked to see what he gets going for this next season! This was just one of those days we were trying to shoot but mother nature decided against it.”
- January 07, 09 - Kurt Wastell; Brighton, Utah.
” This is just a typical pow day at Brighton lapping Mary’s. Days like these are hard to shoot because everyone wants to shred the new snow especially in zones that are easily accessible like this one. I hooked up with Kurt and crew for a few runs to snag a few shots. He is one hell of a nice guy and amazing rider. “
- January 10, 09 - Nick Russell; Brighton, Utah.
” Looking at certain features with a skateboarding eye is key. When I find a good one, pole jams are some of my favorite things skate. Nick found this broken tree jam with a super bumpy fast tranny but he sucked it up like a pro. I can always count on Nick to find cool random features.”
- January 13, 09 - Nick Russell; Brighton, Utah.
” Nick has got to be one of my favorite people to shoot with. Why? Because he is always down, never complains and I can always get a shot of him on anything. This kid has some original style that you don’t see to much of these days. You are going to see some good things coming from this foolio I guarantee it! Keep making those slow wide turns brotha!
- January 19, 09 - Tyler Emond; Park City, Utah.
” I had hung out with Tyler a few times but never really rode with him. I always heard how sick he was but after destroying his ankle at the Open last year he had kind of slowed down taking a coaching position up at Park City. This is proof Ty has not slowed down one bit. He was going so big during this session he broke his Burton Vapor. I was stoked to finally link up with him he a rad guy!”
- January 20, 09 - Joe Eddy; Park City, Utah.

- January 20, 09 - Joe Eddy; Park City, Utah.
” This was taken the same day as the photos above. Joe has just stomped the ally oop seven and went for one last hit laying out a smooth method. I really like putting two photos together to tell a before and after story or just help the viewer get a feel of the mood before or after the action.”
- January 25, 09 - Johnny Centi; Brighton, Utah.
” If I remember correctly this was snowrev owner’s Johnny Centi first real pow of the season. He had been shredding on the east for a little bit but this was his first trip out west and the start of the SNOWREV All Roads Lead to Tour. Let just say he was STOKED!”
- January 26, 09- SNOWREV; Brighton, Utah.
“On the side of shooting photos I like to dabble with design when I get the chance. This year I had the opportunity to completely create and design the wrap for the SNOWREV RV. This was one of the biggest projects I had ever worked on and It was a great feeling to finally see the RV roll into my drive way in person. I was really happy with the final product!“
- January 29, 09 - SIA Tradeshow; Las Vegas, Nevada.
” Vegas is not really my cup of tea but it sure can be fun especially when you have friends like these. Joe Carter & Kyle Loppicolo getting wide eyed at the end of day two during the Metallica cover band Damage Inc.”
- January 30, 09 - Andrew Hardingham, SIA Tradeshow - Las Vegas, Nevada.
” We had dinner with Andrew Hardingham one night where he showed us his Las Vegas “Hard Party Commitment” contract. Him and a couple of Canooks made these contract to party has as hard as they could in Vegas. Here is a small bit from the contract: Guideline 4 ” all contracts will try their best to be reasonable and fair toward other contractors. this does not mean you can be sympathetic to someone who goes broke or can’t pay his way because he’s a douche bag. We will hold everyone to this contract to the full extent of the law of brotheren. Be Warned”
- February 01, 09 - Sedona, Arizona.
” En route to NYC we made a quick stop in Sedona in search of the energy vortex. As you could probably guess we didn’t find it. Beautiful place though.”
- Feburary 02, 09 - Taos, New Mexico.
” After Sedona we drove all night so we could shred Taos the newly opened resort to snowboarders. I just cruised around all day with my g10 and was able hike a few smaller chutes. Gotta leave my pack aka “the angry midget” behind and just ride sometimes!”
- Feburary 04, 09 - Ober Gatlinburg, Tennessee.
” This place was a trip. Every person I told that I went snowboarding in Tennessee never fully believed me. Here is the proof. This place got 3 inches the night before and the locals were tripping. School was canceled and they said it was some of the best conditions ever. Ober Gatlinburg has an annual snow fall of around 30 inches.”
- Feburary 05, 09 - Shayne Pospisil, Snow Scrapers - NYC, New York.
” West Coast to the East we finally made it NYC. This was some next level shit for New York having a huge 90 ft tall drop in for a 30 ft tall snowboard jump right next to the Williamsburg Bridge.. Speed was an issue but Pizzle took it home for Jersey and won himself 50K.”
- Feburary 11, 09 - Nick Russell - Grizzly Gulch, Utah.
” I love going to the East but its hard to go there when winter is in full swing over on the other side of the nation. There is a reason why I live on the west. I was glad to be back home catching the tail end of a huge storm the night I arrived. Woke up to bluebird and three feet of blower. Me and Nick Russell decided to take a stroll up to Grizzly Gulch and get some!.”

- March 10, 09 - Johnny Centi; Brighton, Utah.
” If you know Johnny and have ever ridden with him you know he loves to shred all day not matter the conditions. Luckily this was one of those days you want to shred all day. Closing down milly after an epic day at Brighton.”
- March 12, 09 - Bjorn Leines; Celtek Headquarters. SLC, Utah.
” We stopped through the Celtek headquarters to do a video walk through and Interview with Bjorn. It was cool to kick with him and hear how Celtek was started from the ground up and get some tips on our drive to AK since he had done it the year before.”
- March 11, 09 - Joe Carter; Brighton, Utah.
” Revolution correspondent the Crypt Keeper was another one of my partners in crime for the season. Everyone who works for SNOWREV rides and rides a lot. Joe is a perfect example of that. This guys hikes and shreds harder, faster and longer than most people I know. That goes for the at the bar too. I had some great days with Carter and always stoked when he helps out!.”

- May 5, 09 -Mammoth WCI Rail Jam - Mammoth, California.
” I have been attending and shooting most of the major US contests for the past four years and this was my 5th time shooting the WCI. This year I tried to stay away from the contest scene a little more but this was one of the few I attended. This shot kind of shows were my head was at that night…. in over-it-ville. Same thing different year it but this year it was raining and I was fighting for my flash channel and the media chaos not to mention my head was still in Alaska. I really cared less about capturing the circus tricks going down on a 12 ft rail and tried to do a little behind the scenes type shot. I was pretty pleased on how this one came out.”
- May 7, 09 - Superpark 13 - Mammoth, California.
This is not a particular favorite photo of mine but the reason I’m putting it in here is for Cody Rosenthal. The day after this was taken Cody had a bad accident on this exact jump causing him to break his back and be flown straight to the ICU in Reno. Cody doesn’t have health insurance and this bill is going to be huge. If you know Cody even if you don’t but you want to support snowboarding and an amazing snowboarder donate to his fund HERE. Cody I wish you best recovery you will be back on your board boning those methods ever hard before you know it!
- May 7, 09 - Chelone Miller - Superpark 13 - Mammoth, California.
- May 8, 09 - Lonnie Kauk - Superpark 13 - Mammoth, California.
“After living in Mammoth for a few years I always enjoy heading back and visiting especially to ride and climb with Lonnie. By now everyone should know about Big L and this photos doesn’t really need much explaining. Lonnie in his element destroying yet another Superpark.”
- May 8, 09 - Colin Langlois - Superpark 13 - Mammoth, California.
” I was posted up in the tree’s away from the other million photographers waiting for somebody to really bone out a grab. People were going pretty big but I hadn’t gotten the shot I really liked yet. Colin was the first rider to bust a method during the session and even thought it wasn’t the biggest air of the day it was a damn fine method. You can never beat a solid method on a hip. It was always be sick.“
- May 9, 09 - Superpark 13 - Mammoth, California.
“My last on snow shot of the season headed to the parking lot from a long day at Superpark. Time to kick into summer mode….until the next time.. peace!”
