22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
Snowboarding down to Moraine Lake

Climbing high above the infamous Moraine Lake, we descend the couloir and snow that eventually melts into the glaciered blue lagoon below. 2 am alpine starts, 5 hours of hiking and climbing. All for a descent of less than a few minutes. The things people do to feed their soul.
