Airborne Giant Slalom Skier

We photograph many downhill snow ski races during the winter season and this is one of our favorite images.  This skier is racing on the giant slalom course and as he rounded the gate he became slightly airborne.  The dark trees in the background allow us to clearly see that the skis are off the snow.  Also, the angle of the skier's body and legs gives us a nice diagonal line that helps make the image dynamic.
400mm lens, 1/2500 second at f/3.5, ISO 200.
