Ski Channel Brings "Haro" Harrington Aboard

The Ski Channel has cut a deal with photographer Tony "Haro" Harrington for a new series, documentary film and coverage for the World Heli Challenge on video-on-demand. Steve Bellamy, CEO of Ski Channel, says the channel has ordered up the "Storm Hunter" series from Harrington's firm.

That show features a dozen half-hour installments to be shot on film and follows such extreme skiers and snowboarders like the Crist Brothers and Chris Davenport disporting themselves in the Himalayas, Andes and Dolomites. Columbia Sportswear is lined up as one sponsor.

Harrington "is one of the worlds' most unique and talented artists," says Bellamy. "There is a good chance when you pick up a magazine with an amazing winter display, you are looking at his handiwork. He is the Roger Federer/Michael Jordan of the space, and a guy revered by all in this world."
