“Bad Rad Bumpin’” Brad Holmes competes at the Aspen stop of the World Pro Mogul Tour. I started as tour photographer and from then on I always built in a bit of event coverage. USFO, big mountain and X Games were all really good practice. —Flip McCririck

In Valdez, Alaska, for The World Extreme Skiing Championships the defending champ Chris Davenport was edged out by Brant Moles and we all got to take bystander Jeremy Nobis on his first helicopter ride. —Flip McCririck

Kent Kreitler skis a glacier tongue in Valdez, Alaska. Style-wise, I always considered myself more of a “place” person. Put people in an amazing place and you got it. Those were the types of photos I liked so I went with it. The athletes always liked the approach but I may have lost an ad sale or two. —Flip McCririck

Shane McConkey slides a runnel on water skis in Bella Coola, BC, Canada. I learned to remain invisible — staying out of the way mentally and physically paid off as I got to build my career with visionary athletes and film companies. —Flip McCririck

Seth Morrison charging on one of our best days ever (and there were many) in the Tordrillo Mountains, Alaska. I learned a lot from Seth. He had a line, “No unnecessary radio chatter.” You have time out there to look at the line, figure out the crux and what is going to happen. Calm down and pay attention, and save your questions. Without the athlete all you have is a pretty scenic. —Flip McCririck

Sage Cattabriga-Alosa skis a crazy looking Alaskan line in Haines. I was a junkie for pulling the doors and shooting from the helicopter. We were the drone. Maybe someday I will own one. —Flip McCririck

Sammy Carlson in St. Anton, Austria. If you miss the shot (not that I ever do) keep it to yourself. Maybe the athlete or the film crew wants a redo. With luck you might get another chance. Do not be the first one to speak up. Patience is the game. —Flip McCririck

Ian McIntosh was a part of many long trips and repeat visits. That was our strategy in meccas like Haines, Alaska. Get to know the place, increase the odds. —Flip McCririck

Pep Fujas skis a heavy line in the Tordrillo Mountains, Alaska. This was my return to Alaska after shattering my kneecap in 2010. The snow was not great and I drove team K2 crazy with my stoke being back in AK. Mobility is huge in this game. —Flip McCririck

Greg Breslau with permit in Ascension Bay, Punta Allen, Mexico. These days, I’m spending time at the other end of the lifecycle: water. The salt fisheries remind me of big mountains environments — vast, only now it’s warm and flat. —Flip McCririck
