Pete Caswell’s Alpine Paintings

I love to ski. I started skiing when I was 3 years old and been addicted to it ever since. At 5, I started collecting postcards of all the ski resorts I visited. Back then, I was a rare Englishman on the slopes of Europe and the Germans used to call me the “Englander,” finding […]

Ace Kvale Gallerie

And now, from where I stand Upon this hill I plundered from the pool I look around I search the skies I shade my eyes So nearly blind And I see signs of half remembered days I hear bells that chime in strange familiar ways I recognise… The hope you kindle in your eyes —Roger […]

Elliott Bernhagen Gallerie

Elliott Bernhagen got his first snowboard at Walmart—it was the toy kind without metal edges. As a kid growing up outside of Chicago, he learned to ride at age 14 on a small, snow-covered hill in Wisconsin. By 18, he fled to Colorado in search of bigger mountains and to attend Colorado Mountain College in Glenwood […]

Chris Figenshau Gallerie

It was the last day of a weeklong 2003 Teton Gravity Research trip to Alaska’s Chugach Mountains and the boys had zilch in the can. The week had been gray, snowless and windy, everything locked up and scratchy. Determined to find something soft for the athletes before their time ran out, Valdez Heli Ski Guides’ Mark […]

Lindsey Ross Gallerie

This past spring, Lindsey Ross took the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner down the coast of Southern California, to install a 20-by-24-inch glass plate photograph at an engineering firm in San Diego. The image was of a power station perched above Bridal Veil Falls, near Telluride, CO, and her commission was a partial trade for a mid-2000s Ford […]

Tal Roberts Gallerie

When I first met photographer Tal Roberts, he made his cash working construction, building McMansions for unknown millionaires in the Sawtooth Mountains. In the winter, he oversaw the halfpipe for Sun Valley Resort in Ketchum, ID, managing a crew of pipe rats. He’d receive calls from employees at 1 a.m., many along the lines of, “Tal, […]

Flip McCririck Gallerie

As one of skiing’s all-time prolific shooters, Flip McCririck not only helped define and capture an entire generation of skiers, but his work and aesthetic also continues to hold skiing to a higher standard. As more photographers reach for the remote control of a buzzing drone and set it all to auto, Flip holds fast to […]

You Should Be Here

Mattias Fredriksson car-calls me from the middle of nowhere. That’s not unusual. In the almost 20 years we’ve worked together, I’ve amassed a large catalog of such calls. Drives through northern Scandinavia are long and lonely, perfect for transacting writer-photographer business from the quietude of a vehicle. What is unusual is that as we dive into […]

Kari Medig Gallerie

At the base of Oukaïmeden, a Moroccan ski resort in the High Atlas Mountains, the air twitches with new snow. Clad in a black full-body niqab, a woman pulls a sled while her son squeals in his rented pink ski suit. Three friends toss snowballs, and a Marrakeshi man in aviator sunglasses cuts serious snowplows […]

The Human Side

Sand and heat. Crowds of men in long white robes and veiled women. Shimmering glass skyscrapers, so tall they nearly reach out of sight. Ahead is a tube-shaped structure, sending heat waves over the desert. The majority of the building is a mall, one of the largest in the world. But that’s not what the trio […]
