Every year the Burton snowboard team travels south chasing snow.
28 Day Winter: A Snowboarding Narrative documents a specific moment in time: August 2006, when Dean “Blotto” Gray, Jeff Curtes, and Adam Moran hit the road with Terje Haakonsen, Shaun White, Nicolas Muller, Kelly Clark, Hannah Teeter and Victoria Jealouse, to such far-flung destinations as New Zealand and Chile.
The photographs are stunning, showing magnificent backdrops of terrain, sometimes with a brightly colored speck in the distance that is the rider cruising across a blanket of white. Other photos depict riders bonding in their down time, an experience that snowboarders know are very much a part of the whole picture.
An intimate and penetrating glance into the lives and feats of professional athletes, 28 Day Winter is an epic photographic narrative that captures these snowboarders pushing the limits of riding in the ultimate conditions, documents the ultimate trip, and inspires us all to ride.

ir77 is the result of a project started in 2004 by Lukas Huffman as an effort to tell a story about the raw passion in snowboarding.
ir77 is a coffee table book and sweet snowboarding DVD that goes beyond riding by letting some of today’s top riders show us what inspires them day to day. Through this collaboration of around 50 photographers, designers, artists and snowboarders, different perspectives of snowboarding are shown on the themes of Anticipation, Dedication, Stories, Pain and Exhilaration. Definitly a must have!
