GUEST PHOTOGRAPHERS
The first series of images were done by a young lady with multiple talents. In addition to writing a monthly column for Skiing Magazine she is a world traveler and currently teaching skiing at Aspen Mountain in Colorado. Here are a few images of her most recent trip to India, Nepal, Tibet and China.
In a recent photo publication the issue of "nature or nurture" was raised, so if you haven't guessed it already, her name is Barbara Sanders. If you would like to contact her regarding these images she can be reached at skiadventure@angelfire.com
