Write-up
The soft snow hardened beneath my feet as I sauntered up the mountain. It was like heaven on a winter’s day in the Alps, while on a skiing trip. All around me, the snow was falling on the lucid landscape. Time had stood still, and the only sign of movement was the gentle meandering snowflakes. It was as if nothing could spoil that idyllic setting. As I admired the radiant scenery, a sudden movement caught my eye. A colourful clash of blue and yellow against the blinding white snow expertly interlaced through an imaginary string of posts. I watched, transfixed, until slowly, my senses heightened and my awe turned to horror as I realised that the skier was off piste and gathering momentum as his body fought to gain control of his situation. The spray from the snow surrounded him in a lace like fashion and made his speeding frame shimmer like a heat haze.
