"I Am Snowboarding" Video Recap from the Jeff Anderson Memorial Art Show

By: Adryan Roane Ritter

Friends, family and fans of Jeff Anderson gathered this past weekend in Mammoth during the Grand Opening of the resort for the "I Am Snowboarding" Tribute Art Show.

Jeff passed away tragically in 2003 at the height of his snowboarding career. This month, 2009, would have marked his 30th birthday.

Photographers, artists and friends of Jeff were asked to create pieces with the Jeff as an inspiration. The pieces were auctioned off this past weekend to support the JLA Memorial Fund. The collection opened to the public this past Monday, November 14th at the Village at Mammoth and will stay open to be viewed for the next two weeks.

If you can't make it out to Mammoth in the next few days, take a quick peek at this video of some of the art generated by Jeff's peers.
