Kris Erickson - Skiing the Thin Air, The ups and downs of skiing 8000 meter peaks
Kris Erickson has brought his camera to the highest points, coldest reaches, and most untouched folds of the planet's geography. What's more, he is not merely a shutterbug who stands idle to the side of any expedition. Instead, he tackles the same challenging mountaineering projects as the world's other top-flight climbers, often combining his abilities to ascend difficult mountains with a love and passion for true mountain-sliding descents. This is called "glisse alpinism" and, when combined with a remote photoshoot, it is Erickson"s idea of nirvana.
