Fraser McDougall is one of the hardest working skiers always out chasing the shot both on the front of the hill and in the backcountry. Pictures of Fraser throwing massive backflips have adorned not only the pages of New Zealand Skier magazine but publications around the world since he was a teenager.

20. Quels sont tes sorties de randonnées préférés?
Climbing and skiing Mount Aspiring with a few friends - no camera man, and no photographer - its was hard work but allot fun.
