Taken during a trip to the French Alps in early 2020. A snowy, white out day in the ski resort of La Plagne. I spotted these bent trees through the snow and immediately was interested in their shape. The way they were bent over, following the line of the mountain reminded me of some ski racers.

I framed the shot to include the forest behind them, with the lead tree poking through beyond the trees behind it, with the end of the slope excluded to try and great some space for the trees to ski into.
