The Epics section is a place where we showcase the best and brightest photographers shooting the boldest athletes. But the Photo Annual is a whole different animal… Dedicated to the art and the aesthetic that results from the fusion of photography and skiing, the Photo Annual celebrates the best of the year. Here are the images that made the cut, enjoy.
