First Tracks Photo Contest: And the Winner Is…

The winner: Lauren Fritz, Hatcher Pass, AK.

It almost came down to a recall, but the results are in for the FasterSkier First Tracks Photo Contest. We got a lot of submissions, and it was great to see evidence of skiers from all over North America gleefully enjoying early season snow. Podium prizes are:

First Place: FastWax glide wax

Second Place: FasterSkier Sporthill hoodie

Third Place: Skadi bootmate

Only the top three get prizes, but we wanted to share more than just three photos, so here are staff picks of the top 5:

Lauren Fritz – Hatcher Pass, AK
Emilie Muller – East Burke, VT
Logan Hanneman – Birch Hill, Fairbanks, AK
Annie Hart – Dartmouth Green, Hanover, NH
