Behind the scenes with photographer Chris Landis:
Shannon Schad and friends decided to pass on the Freeskiing competition at Snowbird on January 4th for a little competition of their own. These guys were absolutely working this kicker in Alta. It's too bad Johnny DeCesare ran out of film because we would have loved to see the action in his movie "13".

Behind the scenes with skier Shannon Schad:
I was scared shitless, that was such a big air. All my friends were watching so I had to go big. What was really embarrassing is that Dan Elliot went bigger. Everybody probably already knows because he would not quit bragging about it.
