What do you do when it’s 70°F and sunny in Burlington, VT? Hollow out some pumpkins and paddle them in the lake, of course! This weekend was Burlington’s 4th annual Giant Pumpkin Regatta and Festival. In addition to the paddled pumpkins, pictured below, there were food vendors, music, dance performances, and even a dog costume [...]

This past Saturday, Race Vermont held their annual Spring Half Marathon. I’ve photographed a number of events for them and they’re always a good time; this one was no exception.  The weather forecast threatened rain, but we only got the lightest of sprinkles during the event. The flooding in Vermont meant that Rayne had to [...]

Note – all of these photos and many, many more are available on SkiPix.com. If you ran, you should hop over and check it out. There are prints, posters, magnets, and even digital downloads if you want to use these on Facebook. This past Saturday, Run Vermont organized the 5th Annual Unplugged Half Marathon along [...]

Note: All of the event photos have been posted to SkiPix.com and are available for purchase. It was another successful year for the Stowe Derby. Some 793 racers took on the challenge of a 2,602′ descent over 12.5 miles on cross country skis. That may not sound bad until you look at the course profile [...]

The Green Mountain Derby Dames have certainly made a splash in the Burlington area over the last two years.  They have gone from competing for a minimal crowd in one of the smaller rooms at the Champlain Valley Expo to presenting a double-header bout in the large room.  The Black Ice Brawlers made their debut [...]

This weekend, Vermont threw all sorts of weather at us.  Saturday morning I awoke to drizzle and rain, so I packed up my car with extra rain gear and headed to Shelburne to photograph the Race Vermont Half Marathon for SkiPix.com.  Rayne, the race coordinator, assured all of the volunteers that he had put in [...]

This past Saturday, the Green Mountain Derby Dames, Vermont’s first flat track roller derby team,  took on the Maine Calamity Janes for a spring showdown. It was a hard fought bout but the Dames emerged victorious. Another entertaining and exciting bout!  I’m already looking forward to the May 22nd. Related Posts:Roller derby poised to take [...]

The Race Vermont Unplugged Half Marathon starts in Colchester, VT and mostly follows the Burlington Bike Path south to Oakledge Park.  Ending in the South End, runners are treated with views of Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks across the lake in New York. This year, 550 runners arrived at the start only to be greeted [...]

Yesterday, the Green Mountain Derby Dames took on the Utica Clubbers in their March Madness bout. Basher Barbie gives the crowd some love. The Silencer lays the smack down. The Atomic Muffin fights to stay inbounds.  (She succeeded.) Blondie looks so relaxed as a Utica skater prepares to make the hit. You can see more [...]

On February 19th, The Sweet Remains hit the big stage at Higher Ground with Naia Kete and Barefoot Truth. The Sweet Remains is a trio, usually, however they’ve played a fair number of shows backed by members of The Grift, making them a 6 piece band. If you don’t have their album, I highly recommend [...]
