KC Deane skis through the trees in Whitewater, British Columbia. Grant decided to play it safe and shoot in the trees while there were avalanches in every other direction.
Skier Pep Fujas in Portillo Chile.

This line in the Mt. Baker backcountry is known as 50/50 where skiers and snowboarders air at least 50 feet, if not bigger. It always provides for a good show, as the locals love watching from the top of the lift.

The Mt. Baker image. What exposure settings would stop the action AND capture so much starlight?
