Photo of the Year



Getting back into the topic of skiing and snowboarding, I stumbled across a photo from the 2012 winter season. The photo initially caught my eye and intrigued me to click on it. Initially realizing the scenic aspect of the photo, I then realized the skier in the air on the bottom left hand side of the photo. Skier Sammy Carlson is responsible for hitting the backcountry booter (jump) and the photo was snapped by Darcy Bacha.

The world of skiing and snowboarding continues to progress, as does the photography it comes with. Its blows my mind as to how much progression can come from one sport and what types of art can be associated with it. With high quality cameras and the perfect setup, we are able to see the most stunning shots highlighting both athletic and artistic talent.
