Adventurous photographer Tyler Roemer (Tyler Roemer) has photographed rock climbing, white-water rafting, and hiking, but he may never have shot anything quite as breathtaking as the photos below.
The Oregon-based photographer, along with several professional skiers, climbed11000feet (note: the mountain is11249feet high, approximately3429meters) to capture incredible images — people skiing in the clouds! Skiers launched off the summit of Mount Hood, Oregon’s highest peak (Mount Hood), performing impressive aerial stunts against the backdrop of the mountain and the sea of clouds beneath their feet.

Each shoot required20minutes of setup, and Mr. Roemer had to position himself about10yards (approximately9.15meters) away while taking the photos.
Like any other jaw-dropping performance, skiing in the clouds is inherently dangerous. He said, “They’re professionals and know what they’re doing, but danger is always present.”
As an adventurous photographer, Mr. Roemer has personally experienced plenty of risks. He toldpronaturephotographer.com(Professional Nature Photographers Network): “Just this year, I’ve been bitten by a dog, stung by North America’s most venomous scorpion, and faced multiple cases of hypothermia. Only time will tell what I’ll put myself through next year.”

Now31-year-old Mr. Remer said that a series of factors contributed to capturing amazing photos: “The snow conditions, weather, and lighting that evening were great for both photography and jumping, so we decided to try taking some photos.”
Mr. Remer has worked as a photographer for newspapers, magazines, and private companies for eight years. His photography includes adventure activities and outdoor scenes, most of which have been conducted in the Pacific Northwest (Pacific Northwest). He began outdoor photography as a teenager—taking photos of his friends on skateboards and snowboards.
