Professional photographer and SnowBrains contributor Matt Bansak had a good flight on June 6th, 2014.  His pilot decided to give 14,411-foot Mt. Rainier a fly by.  The guy got close.  Real close.  Close enough to see a good portion of Rainier’s 26 glaciers.

Luckily, Matt had his camera on hand and was able to grab these great images.

Rainier is a beast.  A special beast.  It’s tough to get a good look at her.  You’re either too close or too far away.  Matt was able to get in the sweet spot where you could see her just right.

As you can tell from these photos, there’s certainly some good skiing left to be had up there.

Thanks for the great images Matt.
