He's gonna hurt. What an image. There is an energy and at the same time controlled chaos. All of the elements come together here in one great image. How did you ever get in a position to get this image? 10 by me for sure.

Brilliant, great action shot. Not much of a skier but I take it landing on the back of your head doesn't score well! Good work,
Cheers.......

Ouch, is that the recommended method of arrival? It’s a wonderful clear action image to be proud of.

There are three colours, Ten digits and seven notes, its what we do with them that’s important. Ruth Ross

Agree with Robert and the rest. It is an excellent capture. I have seen these guys pull out of this position back to vertical. I guess we are all anxious to know if this was a successful feat or not?

Yes, as far as I remember, he had no trouble bouncing straight back up and skiing down the hill, but he would not have scored highly on his landing. In fact the gold bib signifies that he was the winner the previous day and, sadly for him, he did the same thing in his final jump in the competition. The winner broke the world record score on Sunday.I'll post a shot soon.

Good shot. I would again have cropped it much tighter, excluding the non-important stuff, like the lower parts of the fence and the legs of the platform/hut. My motto for sports photography is "tight and bright".

LIving near Aspen, I can appreciate this image. I would make a great Aspen wallpaper. Excellent work both technically and conceptually.

Ouch. It's a nice image, though. I love shots that show the powdery side of snow, poor guy. Great job. ;)
