Sort of like flying...

Just thought I would share this photo that is currently published in one of the new ski magazines. Know wonder people think what we do in AK is crazy... :lol:

You must remember this is one of the best riders in the world and not your typical client run...

There's steep and there is STEEP! When I first saw that I thought it was rotated 90 degrees, took a while to figure out it was that steep. Hope he makes it to the drooling stage [-o<

There is a slight bit of camera tilt in this...I am standing just behind the guy that took this. Its really not as steep as it looks but...We ended up skiing everything in the background after this shot. Camera's do wonders to shots like this.
