These are some of the images I was considering to send the ADN. The first four were the ones I sent. The Monday print edition ran the first two (Samantha Langlie finishing in a low tuck and Liam Jordan rounding a panel on two skis and one hand), but the ADN reversed the captions I sent.

I was considering several of the other five as alternatives, as well as many others that demonstrated great skiing. There was a lot of entertaining skiing. Thanks, racers.

Here are the captions I sent for the first four:
