FEATURES

THE PHOTO ISSUE

Three guest photo editors show off their favourite picks.

  • BRYN HUGHES - CANADA
  • SVEN BRUNSO - USA
  • MATTIAS FREDRIKSSON - SWEDEN

Three photographers, three countries, a million views. For an expanded take on visual stimulation for skiers this month, Ski Canada asked three of its regular contributors to send us their own favourite shot as well as the best they could find from their countrymen. Representing Canada, Bryn Hughes goes up against Mattias Fredriksson of Sweden and American shutterbug Sven Brunso. Each sees our sport through a unique window, and it’s your turn to tell us whose pictorial world is best.
