With the 4th of July falling on a Wednesday this year, much of the celebration ended rather abruptly with the start of the work day on Thursday morning. For others—like those who don't have a day job or for those who took vacation—the party is still rocking, and will continue to do so throughout the weekend.
Today, we look back on some of the best celebratory photos that were shared on Instagram by pro skiers and by our friends around the industry. Happy Birthday, America.
