The best photos of FREESKIER Volume 22, Part I

Within the twenty-two volumes of FREESKIER magazine, we’ve printed countless images showcasing the best photography in skiing. From timeless park sessions to first-descents and glorious powder shots, our contributing photographers have a keen eye for capturing the best athletes in our sport through their unique lenses.

In this four-part series, we’re highlighting the best photos from our 22nd volume. In this gallery, you’ll see our favorite shots first published in Buyer’s Guide (22.1) , a collection of images taken in Aspen and Winter Park, Colorado—the home to our annual Ski Test and Park Ski Test. There are also shots from Retallack Lodge, where we staged our Outerwear Test, and plenty more. Enjoy!
