Devilishly handsome, gentleman skier...


So next month my good friends at Backcountry magazine have been so kind to feature a small profile about me in their contributor section of the magazine.  For those of you that are not familiar with the section, I get to write a 100 word paragraph about myself and include a portrait.  No time to be serious about this.  I quickly knew it would involve an over the top photo and at least one mention of cold martini's.  The writing part took a while, but with a little help from my attorney/writer friend Kirk, we got it done.  You will have to go out and get a copy to read the paragraph, but I'll give you a little preview.  It starts out, "Devilishly handsome, gentleman skier Justin Cash..."  Now for the over the top photo.  Seeking help this time from my girlfriend Renee, who held a reflector and hit the shutter we nailed a bunch of funny shots.  I submitted the above photo, below are a few of the outtakes.  Enjoy.

Skiing Magazine


I've had my first image published of the new ski magazine season. It's in the September issue of Skiing Magazine. You can find the pic in the "East Scene" section towards the back. All my west coast friends might have a tough time finding it, I don't think the east section runs west of the Mississippi. This shot was taken just after the great St. Patty's day storm. Ben Kubas (pictured above), Dave Young and I were on a mission to find leftover freshies amongst the Killington trees, and that we did. It was an epic day that produced more usable images than any other shooting day of the season. Dave Young, who normally shys away from the camera, even got into the action. More on that next month though.


Dave Young rip'in it.
