The Crested Butte Nordic Center is happy to announce that we’re partnering with the Center for the Arts to host two sets of winter photography workshops during 2012-13. Amazing photographers Xavier Fane and Raynor Czerwinski are teaching these workshops which take place on Nordic skis or snowshoes. Each workshop is $55 and the CBNC is offering 20% off rental equipment for participants that need skis or snowshoes. Register online for Xavi’s class, xavi@rmi.net for Raynor’s class, or by calling (970) 349-7487 ext. 6 or emailing classes@crestedbuttearts.org.
Nordic Photo Workshops with Xavier Fane:
All the workshops are intended to teach the basics and not-so-basics of winter photography in different capacities to photographers that possess a minimum knowledge about photography and use of their camera. More often than not, winter conditions are not the right setting for learning how to change batteries or how to switch the different modes of the camera – those should be learned at another time. If you’re ready to take your winter photography to the next level, come out and learn from these amazing photographers. Winter light and snow make for some truly breathtaking photos.

About Xavi
A native of Barcelona, Spain, Xavier Fané found his home in the mountains of Crested Butte over twenty-five years ago. In 1990, through his dedication to and love of mountain sports he landed his first job as a photojournalist and writer for Solo Bici, a mountain bike magazine based in Spain. That opened the door to many travels around the globe in search of adventure, as well as more opportunities to write and shoot for other publications. As time went by, his passion for photography grew to become a full-time profession. He is currently on the staff of several Spanish outdoor magazines, as well as a regular contributor to other national and international publications, both online and in print.
“After a lifetime of running, biking and skiing swiftly in the mountains I have found in photography a way in which to develop my more contemplative side. I like to go deep in the mountains; sleep on summit tops; get lonely, stinky, and sometimes scared and from this angle look at the world through my lenses. With my images I hope to inspire everybody to get out there and see the beauty and endless inspiration that there is to be found in the mountains, and with that, promote a path of respect and preservation towards the future. On the other side of things, I’ve really come to enjoy the bond that is created when working with individuals, whether documenting a special day like a wedding, or a family photoshoot in a flowery meadow or teaching one of my workshops.”
