As slopes are starting to open up and it dawned on me that I haven't been snowboarding in over a year, I thought it would be interesting to find some photos of skiers and snowboarders.

I came across Grant Gunderson's website and was struck by many of his images.

I was almost surprised by these images, as they make you want to stand back and say "Wow". I found them to be very creative - it opened up a whole new view of nature photography for me. To me, they also show just how beautiful it can be when human and nature collide.
