Found this spot that was suggested by a friend and was perfect for the look I was after. The only downfall was that it was blowing snow all day and it would have added extra drama for this shot, however when we got there it was frickin freeezing and of course no blowing snow!
It was sooo cold I only managed about 6 shots and I think this was the last one of the day.
Lighting .. 3 speedlites.. one on the left, one on the right hi over his head and one on the lower right down to fill in the front.
Shot was taken in a parking lot at a local arena :)
here are the pics of the surroundings. In the pic of parking lot 1 the hill we used is on the right.
Here is the edited version with snow I wanted in the original
