I was on top ofBritish Columbia's Mount Mackenziewaiting for riders to climb up before dropping in on the infamous Mac Daddy Face.Temperatures had dropped to 30-below and the low sun on the horizon created a perfect winter light.I saw this particular snowboarder walking, ghostlike, though deep snow and tried to position myself to shoot him.
The cold was a major challenge that day; my control wheels and buttons were difficult to operate with big expedition gloves. I ended up taking them off. Surprisingly,my batteries lasted through the cold, and I was able to shoot for several hours.
