5 February 2010

The Winter X Games once again provided the backdrop the nice annual get-together called Powder Awards at the historic Hotel Jerome in Aspen. When Powder gives out the awards, it's always a good reason for a party, so admittedly on Sunday morning, not everybody was feeling as fresh as the day before...

But let's stick to the important facts: the winners!

The Canadian photographer Eric Berger wins the award for the best photo with his cover for Powder Magazine with Dan Treadway (click on the photo on the left for a bigger one). While Sean Pettit takes home the award for Best Male Performance in In Deep (MSP), the movie itself is chosen Movie of the Year.

On a European note: Antoine Montant (in the movie Can't Stop by Ride the Planets) winst the best P.O.V. (point of view). Check out his beautiful sequence right below:
