Had to fight for this one! Tried it a few times and just couldn’t get it right. The first air was big to flat straight to a redirect and I didn’t like how it was working. Luckily we got a reset a few days later and I got one more redemption on it! Filming for legend has it with @tetongravity

Submerged

A strike mission to Hakuba, Japan, in January. One of those trips where everything lines up and the snow just keeps coming. Four metres of fresh snow in a single week, culminating in the deepest day I’ve ever experienced. At times, it was almost too deep to believe.

Simon Hillis getting seriously pitted. Thanks for organising this absolutely crazy mission.

The Wormhole - Åka Skidor cover

Simon Hillis and me spent a whole week in Alaska this April waiting for the right weather window, but it never really came. Last year we scored all time conditions, this year was different.

So instead, we started exploring a nearby glacier.
The glacier had developed some extraordinary shapes that season. Constantly changing, constantly disappearing and the more we explored, the more we found. Eventually, we discovered this perfect ice tunnel. I had been looking for something like this for years and suddenly it was right there in front of us. A completely unique moment in a landscape that was already changing as we stood there.

The tunnel is gone now. That’s what makes this image so special to me. It’s a photograph of a moment that can’t be recreated. I’m also incredibly happy that this image is currently in the finals of The Illume.

Thank you to @simon.hillis for skiing on ice and killing it everytime, @pointsnortheli for supporting us again and @akaskidor for publishing this beauty. taken in Points North Heli-Adventures, Inc. by @simon.hillis

Back-to-back covers for @skicanadamagazine.

Always a special feeling to see another image make the cover. Especially from a project that came together in the mountains with an incredible team.

Thank you @simon.hillis and @pointsnorthheli for making these days possible and for the trust. Always grateful to be out there creating together. taken in Points North Heli-Adventures, Inc. by @simon.hillis

Three images in The Illume 2026 Finals. Still trying to wrap my head around this.

Being a finalist at Illume has been a dream of mine for years. This was actually my first time ever submitting. I finally felt like I had created something truly special and worth putting into the competition.

I hoped maybe one image would make it. I never expected three.
All three were shot in Alaska with @simon.hillis and the help of @pointsnorthheli . A lot of patience, searching, good timing and a bit of luck went into these images.
Really grateful to see them among the 20 Snow finalists.

12 covers. 1 season.
I fell in love with snow sports through print magazines. They shaped the way I saw skiing, adventure, and photography long before I ever picked up a camera. That’s why contributing to this world means so much to me.

12 ski magazine covers in one single season. Something I never thought possible.

11 of these 12 covers were shot last winter in Alaska with my good friend and favorite skier, Simon Hillis. We first met 8 years ago in British Columbia. He was the youngest pro skier I had ever worked with and instantly the most talented skier I had ever seen. After that season, I moved back to Europe and we made a promise to each other. If we ever reunited for a project, it had to be Alaska. The proving ground.
It took us 7 years to make it happen, and somehow everything aligned. Without Simon, none of this would have happened. Thank you brother for the trust, the commitment, and for pushing every day.

Huge thank you to @pointsnorthheli for believing in us and supporting our vision and goals.

Most of all, thank you to the ski community. I’m incredibly grateful to contribute to the culture that made me fall in love with skiing in the first place.

Wrapped up another epic trip @pointsnorthheli

Big lines and spine walls are always at the top of the list when heading to Alaska, but sometimes the stars don’t quite align. With a short window and very touchy avy conditions things didn’t quite line up for those dream lines. We ended up having to getting creative with it, can’t wait to show you guys the lemonade we made!

Absolutely massive thank you to everyone on the @pointsnorthheli crew! You guys all make it the best experience around no matter what Mother Nature has planned! #yipyaw taken in Cordova, Alaska by @simon.hillis
