As they gracefully made their way down the mountain it was a joy to catch the beauty of the snow flying from the edges of their skis. :)PJ

Wow!! Into the faves. First things first. This is just awesome PJ. The use of light and the shadows is superb.
That is some kind of angle you have with this one. The skiers are icing on this delightful cake. Think I'll eat a piece. Just great PJ

Outstanding action shot in every way ~ I can feel the exhilarating experience of skiing down the slope with the snow flying & I'm not even a skier. I love the patterns on the snow. Very well done PJ.

White snow, white plumes, reflecting light, All these elements makes it very difficult to make a proper capture of this scene. To me you've done a wonderful job PJ! Really great.
