Cold Snap
Way up high in the mountain
latitudes, where oxygen is
scarce and the atmosphere
is thin, it takes more lung
power to breathe and it
takes more air to go big.
Omar Hassan (opposite top) is a well-known master
of skateboarding skills. This frontside bone in the
High Cascade halfpipe should establish his rep as a
snowman as well. Age means nothing when it comes to
getting air. Fourteen year old Brady Wilson takes to the
sky with a twilight tailgrab at Snowmass. Large and in
charge, Aaron Vincent (sequence) hurls himself out
of frame in the Donner Summit back country.
