Photography And Half-Thoughts By Mitchell Hegman

Skiing


While looking through some of my older photographs, I ran across a few from a skiing trip a group of us took up into Canada in 1978.  While there, we went heli-skiing in the backcountry.  A pair of choppers worked on plucking up and dropping off our group and a group of Swiss tourists onto remote mountaintops. 
A pretty obvious difference in expertise existed between the two groups.  I have posted a photograph I captured of a mountainside we carved.  That’s us on the left.  The Swiss carved the trails on the right.  The photograph really tells the story.
And here is me jumping off a cornice above Marysville, Montana in June of 1979.
