CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT Henrik Harlaut spent the months leading up to his X Games gold in 2013 touring mountains on the East Coast and in the Midwest for the Inspired demo tour. He did so many nosebutter 270s and 450s onto rails and would get this crazy pop and positioning off his tips. Watching him do this last Septem-ber at the Jossi Wells Invitational at Cardrona, NZ remind me of those old shots from Okemo and Stratton with the crew. Mike Horn, widely regarded as one of the world’s greatest explor-ers, encouraged all the township kids to play on his G-Wagen during a beach cleanup day in Cape Town, South Africa, circa 2016. Mike has swum the Amazon alone, circumnavigated the globe without motors at the equator, and is currently ski touring across the North Pole. I took this shot before anyone moved—all completely unposed and in awe of the vehicle. After our time in Cape Town, Mike sailed to Antarctica and ski toured across the continent solo. He’s easily the gnarliest human being I’ve ever spent time with. Sometimes the winch needs a tow. Spencer Milbocker and Phil Casabon lining things up in Minneapolis, MN. Henrik Harlaut, Brady Perron, Paul Bergeron and Emil Bergeron at Windell’s on Mt. Hood, OR, circa 2013. Windell’s has a magical appeal. There’s still something sacred about Mt. Hood after all these years and the energy at that place is palpable. Shark tagging aboard the Pangea research vessel, South African coast, 2016. We caught the largest sevengill shark ever recorded on this trip. Scientists made an incision, inserted a tracking device, and stitched the shark back up before release. The data then went into a larger research pool to track spe-cies health and better understand our friends in the ocean. 090 The Ski Journal
