Between Earth and Sky: Griffin Post's Mountain Life

Griffin Post's story reads like a mountain legend. Born in Austria, raised in Sun Valley, now claiming Jackson Hole's peaks as home. Two-time US Extreme Freeskiing Champion, X-Games gold around his neck, nine appearances in Teton Gravity Research films - yet you'll find him at dawn with a bow in hand, reading elk tracks like they're ski lines. His approach to hunting mirrors his big mountain style - patient, precise, deep in tune with terrain.

His lens finds the soul of trail running - not just the effort, but the pure joy of moving through mountains. He catches what most people miss - mud-splattered shoes, wild grins at mile twenty, high fives at hidden alpine lakes. No staged summit shots here - just pure stoke and earned miles. His photos strip away pretense, each frame tells stories of dawn patrols, showing what trail...

The Art of Chasing Light: Into Frankie Spontelli's World

Sunrise over Twin Lakes casts long shadows while Frankie waits. The Denver photographer knows these moments - when storms clear and peaks emerge, when morning light spills across alpine water. His camera finds wild corners where few venture, capturing raw frames that land in Outside Magazine and National Geographic, pulling readers straight into the mountains. His dedication runs deep.
