Boost SnoSho - Perisher NSW

The Boost SnoSho has just wrapped again for another year. I shot the event again this year, as I have for the past 3 (or is it 4?)years now. This year saw an incredible field of international riders out to compete for the $15,000 in prize money, some of those who came out were Torstein Horgmo(NOR), Danny Davis(USA), Mikkel Bang(NOR), Chas Guldemond(USA), Marko Grilic(SLV), Chris Sorman(SWE), Luke Mitrani(USA) to name a few.
In true Boost tradition it was perfect weather right p until five minutes before the start of the competition, which always runs under lights on a Saturday night. This presented plenty of problems considering all the flash gear I had out to capture such a competition at night. I had an Elinchrom Ranger with two heads and a number of Metz 45's and 60's on different PocketWizard channels so i could switch between different banks of lighting. As it rains every year I was kind of prepared for the rain and had come armed with a bunch of extra large ziplock bags and small garbage bags for the pocketwizards and battery packs.
It seems as though everything survived the drenching, however I think next year I'll pack a Nikon D3 and shoot it all in available light at ISO 6400!
