We had the opportunity to spend the day out at Mount Ski Gull capturing alpine skiing action at the Brainerd Warrior Alpine Holiday Invite, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish.
This was our first time photographing alpine skiing, and we couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to the sport. The speed, strength, and focus these athletes bring to the course is impressive, and the energy on the hill made for an exciting day of competition.
