I have left L'Aquila (Italy) to go to Chamonix for to pass the end of the year.
Chamonix is the best freeriding resort in Europe, a spectacular place at the foot of Mont Blanc.
Between 30 and 31 december have fallen more than 80 cm of powder snow, with exceptional conditions on "Les Grands Montets"!
Unfortunately I could not make out the camera from my backpack, I was too busy skiing with my friends and the snow was too good to stop and take pictures!!
When I return to Courmayeur (Italy) I was able to photograph my friend: the Mountain guide Stefano Bigio riding the "Toula Glacier" with fantastic weather and snow conditions, after days and days of continuous snowfall !
I am not only a photographer, i'm a rider, i love powder! When there are exceptional snow conditions is very difficult to take the camera and stop skiing!
But I am sure that this shot, at this moment, remains the only memory of that perfect snow condition!

ReplyDeleteMa dai! venite a Penuria Felice o a Fango Imperatore... là si che avrai tutto il tempo che vuoi pe' fa le foto; anche perché di scia' non se ne parla.
ReplyDeleteHere you can only shoot to your balls in one of these rainy days
I have seen the photos made to the Mystic Safety Clinic in Engadina, has been extreme to photograph with that cold. with those extreme conditions it must use the compact camera (comattina)!!
ReplyDeleteI would want to buy a Canon G11!
Happy new year.
Caro Pasquale, ieri ho visto degli enormi ginepri alti oltre un metro sotto la seggiovia Campo Felice, sono rimasto estasiato dala loro bellezza!
