Errol On Beaver Bowl

Alpine Meadows Ski Resort, California

Athlete: Errol Kerr

Camera: Hasselblad XPan

What makes it special: "The path we took to get there."

The story:  Errol's bouncing spirit preceded his every turn. You could hear his voice echoing off the walls as he dove in with an amazing amount of kinetic energy and playfulness. When I shot this image the entire crew was on the ridge 15 feet to the right watching him drop in. He was the first and carried on the anticipation of the other skiers with him. When he got to the bottom it took a while for him to catch his breath. He called in over the radio. "Yes, yes, yes it is good - really good!"
