Mount Titlis, Switzerland.
I hope you love this shot as much as I do of a lone snowboarder on a tracked slope in the sunlight.
I have entered this image in a National Geographic photographic competition.

ahhhhhhhhhh as much as I’m happy to see the snow gone, as much as this I can relate to so closely being that I ski for a living (working on skis) , awesome slope, snow, love the single guy going to enjoy his turns, have fun my friend, 5 month until I have to put my ski boots back on
Merci beaucoup mon ami. I love the snow in the mountains at any time of year.

Thank you Sean. It cost $25 or so to enter but I thought, “what the hay, I only go around once…”
– Al Bourassa
oh wow. this is sensational Al, good luck with the competition

Awesome capture Al. Looks cool with all the tracks.
I was hoping this shot would be clear when I took it and was pleased with the result.

Excellent photo AL, the size of the snowboarder makes the viewer realize the magnitude of the slope.
This is probably somewhere about the 8,000 foot level of this 10,000 foot mountain…. so there is a LOT more slope to be seen!!
– Al Bourassa
Wonderful perspective. Good luck!
Thank you so much Jan. No matter what anyone else thinks, I think it is a winner.
