"Coyotes? What Coyotes?"

While working as the marketing director at Bristol Mountain I wanted to get an updated night shot that was legit and not photoshopped. This day happened to be Valentine's Day and we received 18" of fresh snow. I decided to hike alone to the location, using snow shoes for the first time. It was a beautiful, peaceful evening. I got to the spot and while waiting for the right lighting my buddy calls to ask how it was going. He tells me to keep an eye out as he had heard coyotes in the valley recently. I said, "What!? You're crazy. There aren't any coyotes around here!" I took some shots pack up and start to walk out in the dark and what do you know... three coyotes show up and proceed to circle and follow me out. Note: Don't try to run in shoe shoes if it's your first time in them . . .
