Last ride of the 07/08 season!

About the Webby Awards: “The Webby’s are one of the oldest and most prestigious of the awards shows honoring digital work. You can learn more about them here: http://webbyawards.com/about/. It’s worth noting that with over 8,000 entries from 60 countries and all 50 states, just to be nominated is an honor. And to win a category is something that we as an agency should certainly be proud of.” Work, Awards, News 2008-05-07T05:37:00-07:00 http://blog.minoflow.com/site/super-snowbird-sunday/ http://blog.minoflow.com/site/super-snowbird-sunday/#When:21:17:00Z {summary}Brandon, Josh and I headed up to Snowbird this past Sunday (MAY 4TH!) to do a little spring skiing.  What was looking like a normal day of slushy spring snow turned into a pretty decent session off this small hip.  The shape of the jump let us get a little ‘tricky wit it’ so we took full advantage of soft landings and warm weather.  Here are a few pictures, look for more on my flickr account.
