Getting the job done

Two 4am wake up calls,  6 hours of sleep in 48 hours, one busted ass sled = one of the best trips I have been on this year.  The last two days have been brutal.  Up at 4am, out in the backcountry till almost 7pm or later.  Long days to say the least, but the shots have been worth it.  On the first day, within the first hour, Kramer's sleds' brakes went out and he crashed into a big tree at the bottom of a big hill.  The recoil on the starter went out in the crash as well as the right side trailing arm.  No big deal.  Kramer clutch start, while wheeler works the gas.

On the road again....

After almost a week at home finishing up some work for Vail resorts it was time to hit the road again.  And what better spot to go.....again, but Jackson, WY.  I love this place.

This is what happens when the roads are super slushy, but the temperture is well below freezing.  How that happens I don't know but somehow it does.

The new hot shit...

More of the usual...


Just spent 4 days in the Montana Backcountry with nothing more than a tent, sleeping bag, food, cameras, and some of the best snowboarders on earth.  Easily one of the most physically taxing things I've ever done.  No joke, it was straight up survival.  Bear Grylls would have been proud.

Clints Photo Show, Ordering info

I currently have a photo show at "Clints Bakery and Coffee House" in Breckenridge, Colorado (131 S. Main Street).  Since my website is still not anything more than a home page, I wanted to list the photos here with all the ordering info.  

Each and every photograph is printed on a matte adhesive Vinyl, then laminated with a matte laminate, and then mounted on 1/2" foam board.  Because each print is laminated it is very, very resistant to scratches, dust, moisture, etc., and is fully archival for decades to come.  My goal was to create art that was both very durable and archival, at a fraction of the cost.  I also wanted each photo in this show to in some way be connected with Colorado, whether it be the rider or location.

Any print can be ordered in any of the following sizes for the following amount:

8"x12" $18
12"x18" $36
16"x24" $60
24"x36" $110
28"x42" $150
36"x54" $190

FED EX delivery is available for an additional fee.  Local (Breckenridge, CO) pick up available free.  Custom Printing to suite your needs is also available.

To order please e-mail me the print name and size desired.  I prefer to use paypal when ever shipping, but a check will be accepted.  Allow 2-6 weeks for delivery.

E-mail orders and questions to: aaron@aarondoddsphoto.com

Here are the photos.  Click to enlarge.  From left to right; Print Name, Rider, Location, Year.

The Heber Homestead


My current bed room slash global command center.  No big deal........

Utarded in Utah

It was Utarded in Utah today


A socked in weather pattern all day meant there would be no
shooting today.  At least it's snowing again.  A washed up crew 
of industry insiders took full advantage of this "down day"

My Buddies.....


My Buddies, my buddies.......my buddies and me.

So basically I drove 400 miles for nothing.  I'm in Utah and the snow sucks.  But what?  To my surprise my favorite sales team was also in town making the rounds.  Funny, because I caught Kyle and Fields here last year too.  Ahhh, good old Heber City.  Gotta love it.....

New Sled


Somewhat against my will I'm now riding an '08 Ski Doo 800 146 track.  Totaled the '07 in Silverton about two weeks ago.  First day out ripping the new sled today with my buddy Jon.  Good snow, but after colliding with a rock at 30mph and being wipped off in an "America's Wildest Video's" fashion two weeks ago, I'm a bit more warry of what lays beneath the snow.  I just wish someone got the shot.

11,400 feet above sea level.



My Buddy Jon, ripping......

Yeah T-Bird!

Gun Safety Course in Silverton Colorado

Dirksen, Otterstrad, T-bird and the rest of the crew learn some gun basics.  However, I just learned to watch out when Marius had a gun in his hand.  Here's some un-edited video clips.





Clints Photo Show



Come check out photos by Aaron Dodds at Clint's Bakery and Coffee House, 131 S. Main Street, Breckenridge, Colorado.  We already had the opening party but I'm planning a closing party right around closing day for the ski area (mid to late April).  Stay tuned, and in the mean time go check it out and maybe even pick one up.  Prices start at $18.  Everything is custom printed so you can get any print in any size.  They are then mounted on 1/2" foam board.

Silver Town



Mission number one this year.  Silverton.  Ahh isn't it beatiful this time of year.
