A special thank you to Drew McElwee for helping me photograph this series in September 2010. For three weeks we traveled by car and plane around the United States and Canada photographing the best female skiers in the world. It was a great trip and I love traveling for photography. All photos were taken in a studio setting at Snowbird, Squaw, Whistler, and Vail at Breckenridge.
