Remembering adventurer and ace photographer, Carl Skoog / by Kaj Bune

One of my photographic mentors was the great skier, alpinist and adventure photographer, Carl Skoog. I’m fortunate to have skied, climbed and worked with Carl. In 1996, as part of an Outdoor Research sponsored ski mountaineering trip to the wilds of the St. Elias mountains of Canada, I spent several weeks with Carl and two others, the late Ron Gregg and another friend, Bill Hartlieb. We had a grand adventure and Carl’s sheer joy at being in the mountains was infectious. Here are a few photos of Carl from that trip.
