While skiing and photographing at Crystal Mountain in Washington, I found a cave into which the sun shines first thing in the morning. I found it to be perfect for a skier to air and photograph. I had a hard time finding someone willing to jump the cliff for me, but finally found local hot skier Nash Grimm, who styled the line perfectly. I love the extreme backlighting and the timing of the skier jumping right through the sun. One of my favorite pictures I have created.</p>
