The best phto from this year's Alpine ski season: Verbier in Switzerland from about 5 Kms away on adjacent peak. Canon Mk.2 100-400mm L-II zoom on Canon EoS 5D Mk.III hand-held. Very impressed with the detail, given I was at max zoom and holding it in my hands ....
For ski buffs this is the middle third of a continuous piste running from 2727m (8,947ft) down to the end at 1756m (5,751ft) - a 971m (3,186) vertical drop. Great fun, whether newbie or pro.
