Ski Photos – Pas de Chevre

It’s ski season here in Chamonix at the moment. Not much climbing is getting done by my friends, but lots of skiing seems to be the norm.

Here are a couple of photos from the Pas de Chevre which runs underneath the Dru North Face. I don’t usually take the ‘big camera’ out skiing, and have never done any ski photography as such, but today I had the heavy beast with me as I wanted to photograph a mountain face for a future book project ( I like photographing mountains and rocks. They don’t move as fast as skiers!)

However, whilst I was there I snapped a couple of shots of powder gangsters Charlie Boscoe and Ben O’Connor Croft.

Skiing conditions are still very good in Chamonix right now, and we have blue skies too. What are you waiting for?!

PS: Parts 2 and 3 of my training plan blog will be published soon.

Hope you enjoy these shots.

Ben dropping in hot and blowing shit up like a powder gangster...

Charlie shreds the gnar without even trying.

Some people take a while to get shready. Ben, on the other hand, was born shready...
