DEER VALLEY, Utah – In spite of whiteout conditions on Thursday, January 9, Heather McPhie of Bozeman showed off her skills by taking fourth place at the 2014 FIS Freestyle Ski World Cup stop in Deer Valley, Utah.
Sitting in seventh place after her first run, McPhie uncorked her off axis, D-spin on the bottom jump of the course to wow the crowd and move up to 4th. Deer Valley is a World Cup stop as well as a 2014 Sochi Olympic Winter Games qualifier for the U.S. Ski Team, and will count toward selection of the U.S. Olympic Freestyle team later in January.
The final run of the day was held under the lights, creating a beautiful scene in the steadily falling snow. Coming in first place was American Hannah Kearney, and Canadian sisters Chloe and Justine Dufour-Lapointe finished second and third, respectively.
Deer Valley is a favorite stop on the World Cup circuit, according to event officials, because the course
NBC Sports Network will broadcast yesterday’s event tonight at 9 p.m. MST. Saturday’s competition will air on NBC Sports Network Sunday Jan. 12 at 3:30 p.m. MST.
Deer Valley is the first of two U.S. stops for the 2014 World Cup. The tour lands at Whiteface Mountain in Lake Placid, N.Y. on Jan. 15. The 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, begin Feb. 7.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
