ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Two mountain guides direct a helicopter into land high in the Swiss Alps. I took this shot whilst shooting an extreme ski and snowboard competition - the Nendaz Freeride FWQ. I had been dropped just before on the peak and with the permission of the guides cowered down behind them to capture this shot when the remaining supplies were delivered. My lens took a bit of a battering and I could only hold myself in position properly for a few seconds as the rush of snow debris was insane at this point.

AUTHOR
Action sports have always been a huge influence in my life. I've been skating for the majority of my life, spent most my teenage summer holidays wakeboarding and water skiing, and like most of us with an addiction for the mountains, made sure I had my feet firmly planted on (well sometime off) the snow at as many opportunities as financially and physically possible. I now spend the majority of my time in the Swiss Alps where this love for everything the mountains embrace has shaped my photographic career to date.
