Cruising along the Icefields Parkway under a full moon, an illuminated Parker Ridge caught the eye of Lada Kvasnicka. The only possible improvement, the photographer and skier thought, would be if the ridge was adorned with fresh turns. Lada knew his “down-for-anything” friend Mato Vrato would be keen to hike the ridge under a full moon and lay down the necessary tracks. The pair drove to the Hilda Creek parking lot where Lada watched Mato’s headlight ascend for an hour and a half as he speed hiked in the crisp, dark night. When Mato gained the ridge, he readied himself to ski a continuous line to the base while Lada watched through binoculars then snapped this long exposure image. Photo: Lada Kvasnicka
