In a text message this morning, FREESKIER Editor Henrik Lampert brought to light what might be the greatest Instagram account in existence. The account, @HandPlantsAcrossAmerica, features a bevy of scenic handplant photos from skiers like Banks Gilberti, Maude Raymond and even OG shred star Boyd Easley. @HandPlantsAcrossAmerica encourages users to “Stop reaching for the sky; start reaching for the ground. #HandplantorDie.” Now those are some words of wisdom we can live by!
