This was one of the first views going up paradise valley. we made it a very long trip by looking for the "famed' GIANT STEPS that were apparently on the map. so after skiing the ~15km in, we decided to look for them, ended up bushwacking for a while, litterally following deer trails, and skiing up uncharted streams, then down again, until we cam to this huge set of flat rocks the stepped down making what was total over 100 feet of waterfall. hence, we couldnt ski down it, so had to retrace all our steps, making for a day of skiing starting at 9, ending after 6, not including the 4 hour drive. with only 1 sandwich and 1 apple for lunch. yeah i was HUNGRY!

Hey Carl

It must have totally been worth it to have the opportunity to get this awesome shot. The colors are wonderful, carity is well above average and composition is super. Top marks in my books. This one goes in my favorites for sure.

Well done.

Excellent shot. What's the chances of getting that cloud on it? Great job.

What a sacrifice... But judging upon the results it was worth it. The composition is well-studied. I see some leading lines, the lopsided tree indicating the impressive mountain range. 10+ and into my favourites.

Love how the clouds loom over the top of that mountain, and how you've shot it with the upward angle. Very nice!

What an awsome shot. It's as breath taking as the Matterhorn.
