Hello ski and snowboard friends! For the first time, I’m publishing a book of my photographic work to share directly with the public. Titled simply Stevens Pass, this limited edition publication (only 2500 copies) is a collection of images from Stevens Pass Winter Resort, an homage to one of Washington’s favorite ski destinations and a celebration of the resort’s 70 seasons of operation. I learned to ski at Stevens Pass thirty years ago, and have been fortunate enough to maintain a strong connection with the mountain ever since. Having photographed there each of the past 10 winters, this book is the fruit of that labor.
The 11 X 11 inch hardback coffee table book is 112 pages and sells for $35. Each copy purchased from this site will be signed at no extra charge. Signed copies are only available here and at two regional signing events, soon to be announced. Limited Edition Fine Art Prints will be available. Prices forthcoming.
For additional information, please view the official press release here.
This book is a limited edition and sold on a first come, first served basis. Based on mounting presale orders, we expect to sell out quickly. Please share this website and related information with your family and friends.
Warm regards and much respect,

Video - Pray For Snow
The following is a series of 3954 still photographs shot during the last few winters –mostly at Stevens Pass, WA. These images have been stitched together to highlight what it takes to capture just a handful of professional ski and snowboard images. Thanks to everyone whose turns, airs, and jibs appear herein. Pray for snow. - Chase Jarvis
"Images and moments from one of Washington's classic ski areas, Chase's photos provide an intimate look at contemporary NW ski and snowboard culture."
- Jeff Galbriath, Publisher, The Ski Journal & frequency: The Snowboarder's Journal
"Chase's images have always had that certain intangible quality that set them apart. It takes a photographer who really knows skiing and snowboarding to document it well, and Stevens Pass, captures this beautifully... What I also love about this book is that the photos go beyond cliff hucks and deep powder. By including some beautiful scenics, some quiet moments, and images of little tykes learning to ski, Chase has made this book something that everyone can enjoy."
- Chris Jerard Associate Publisher | Freeskier and Snowboard Magazines
"If a picture really is worth a thousand words than Chase Jarvis' images from Stevens Pass go a long way toward putting us writers out of business."
- Crai S Bower, 2008 Northern Lights Award Winning Writer
"Famous photographers that specialize in 'coffee table' books have told me that any successful photo book has to have atleast six stunning photographs that connect with the reader - well, Chase Jarvis has that plus many more. My favorite pics are photo 3, photo 10, photo 19, photo 25, photo 44, photo 58 and photo 65 - oops, I picked seven! Now, you'll have to pick up your own copy of the book to select your favorites"
