"The boys get out once a year for a spring backcountry ski. This photo of Pete Hendrickson represents the fruit of our labor of climbing 3,000 feet and two miles with 50-pound packs to make a few runs on Fortune Mountain in the Ingalls Peak drainage."
— Ken A. Kisch, Sammamish, WA
Expert says: "The photographer was probably using a fast shutter speed to capture this nice action shot. A more dynamic composition would have been to place the subject in the left side of the frame, rather than the center, so he is skiing into the picture." — Barbara Kinney, features picture editor, The Seattle Times
