Focus: Favorite Photos of the Year

Local Tracks » Part of the grandeur of European skiing is that you can typically ski whatever you see, as the distinction between inbounds and out is largely hypothetical. Photographer Martin Söderqvist and his friend Martin Webrant battled a raging blizzard during a midnight drive up to Davos and then awoke to pillows of powder off the back side of the Rinerhorn ski area. “The snow kept coming down for three days straight, making tree skiing our only option,” Söderqvist says. They wisely headed off-piste, “taking the bus back to the lift and trying to get as many runs as we could fit in during one day, away from the tourists.”
