17" in 24 hours makes for a rad day of skiing at a rad resort.

"The light only shines in certain places this time of year and that coupled with snow consistency we found the parameters in which we could work. We focused on the man made features of cat tracks and snow gun formed mounds and ledges. After quite a bit of communication we had captured a few shots that we thought were worthy. This fueled the fire and we raced the descending sun on one of the shortest days of the year. To me these photos represent the small amount of snow necessary for fun..."

Another successful week of ski testing down and another epic Freeskier Fest in the books. This year Freeskier Magazine changed up the venue for their annual Freeskier Fest ski test. The elite squad of testers and ski brands came together this past week with the staffers from the magazine at Snowbird for a rowdy week of celebrating and testing and reviewing the skis of the future.
