Thank you Wilba!Fantastic shot.
Thanks Nick, that's certainly one that I don't expect to shoot again like that
Especially considering I was aiming to shoot them mid dive, ending up shooting it after the dive. They are very quick! --

Must be an impressive sight to see those blasts in the snow and mountains from a chopper!--Wind action
Flying-Skier-With-Shadow action - Tightly cropped (4 miles away), this photo is one near the start of a 16-shot sequence. In the next split second, a bad landing triggered a relatively small avalanche that took him down the rest of the way.
A wider view of the same shot (off contest). The skier is just left of center.
Explosive action - Explosives with a long fuse are dropped from a helicopter for avalanche mitigation. This is for the plow drivers' safety before they start to open up Independence Pass (Colorado) in the spring, even though much of the snow has already melted.
A birdseye view of the avalanche threat to the highway below (off contest).
Hope you all had a great weekend. And Monday is a holiday for some in the USA

Thanks mate.
Yeah, it's a fluke, but you know, the harder you work the luckier you get. :-DAnd you gotta "love" the heart-shaped splash!
Think he could ever do that again? Me either. That's a one time shot you captured there
Thanks. I don't remember the details... I was too busy taking photos. :-D

Thanks a lot Josha! Yeah, the skier was "somewhat" tiny in the frame, lol--even the more cropped one. Not bad, though, for something more than 6 Km away with the 100-400. Good light and contrast helped. If 13,899 fellow DPRevewers each sent me just one dollar I could remedy this with the EF 800mm f/5.6L.Spectactular shots Nick! The skier was hard to spot but eventually I found him
