You pair a freestyle skiing coach with a nationally acclaimed racer, add a gondola and a foot of fresh powder and you have yourself an epic way to ring in the New Year! Emmy and Palmer grew up on the slopes of Colorado so found it a natural fit in choosing Steamboat to celebrate their wedding. We awoke to fresh tracks as the groomsmen hit the hill early; Emmy's father had special access as a ski patrol and made the ideal guide. Meanwhile, the ladies were getting their final touches ready-in this case meaning skis sharpened in addition to makeup-and up we went on the Gondola. The ceremony took place mid mountain as guests were encouraged to stay in their ski gear, clinking ski poles as they skied their way back down the hill as husband and wife. In Colorado when freestylers say "let's hit the half-pipe" it takes on a whole new meaning as I would quickly learn; my three cameras strapped around my neck we had a blast! The party continued until late into the night capped with Steamboat's traditional torchlight parade. Thank you to the Hoyts and Barrs for adopting me into your loving families for the weekend! See you again soon.
