Erik Akers

Con­grats to the United State’s first ever gold medal in Women’s Down­hill to the cur­rent best woman skier on the planet Lind­sey Vonn. To make it even bet­ter the US goes 1–2 with Julia Man­cuso tak­ing the sil­ver. Great day for the US Ski Team.

This shot just makes me want to get photo cre­den­tials for all FIS World Cup events.  But then I’m a sucker for pho­tos that show what the ath­letes see like this one. I promise the Olympic stuff will stop soon, I mean the games only last two weeks.
