ABOVE Zahan Billimoria feeling the anticipation and stoke of dropping into a steep face at 6,000 meters in the Andes into unknown snow conditions.

It felt so good to finally sink some edges into some real skiing. Ben Hoiness skiing the French direct route after climbing Huayna Potosí. Cordillera Real, Bolivia.
