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.

Great image.
Thanks Chase
Dope shot.

Would love to see a color version
Hi Paul, the colour version is ok but with all the bright colours of the jackets the guides were wearing, it made the shot a little distracting. The bw version for me works better as it draws you into the heli a bit quicker. Thanks for scheduling out the shot and taking time to comment, much appreciated.
one of my favorites in this contest!
Cheers Dennis, much appreciated
