This from the day I took the making of artificial snow. Very sporty people don't take the cable car up, they walk, on skis. They used to do this with fur underneath the skis, but it's all a bit more high tech now (I hope anyway).

A race organized by the FFST, the federation that brings mushers with all kinds of dogs, purebred, Nordic type, hunting dogs or cross dogs such as Alaskans.
Ski Joëring or Skijoring is a sport in which one to two dogs assist a cross-country skier.
The cross-country skier provides power with skis and poles, and the dog adds additional power by running and pulling.

The eastbound Rio Grande Ski Train exits Moffat Tunnel at East Portal, Colorado, on March 21, 1997. A pair (only three built and painted for D&RGW) of Rio Grande EMD GP60s power the passenger train, led by No. 3155.
Another try on the same theme than a picture taken last year.

Last week I went to the Pitztal in Austria to finish my next skiing instructor level. The Pitztal glacier is the highest glacier in Tyrol with the so called "Wildspitze" (3768m) being the second highest Mountain in Austria.
I got this shot on our first run down the Wildspitze in the morning, just one hour later the whole glacier was covered in clouds for the rest of the day, making this the lucky shot of the trip.
I just recently started out with 500px, it would be a pleasure for me if you visit my stream there as well. 500px.com/vionent

Ski Dubai is claimed to be one of the largest indoor ski resorts in the world, with 22,500-square metres of indoor ski area. It is a part of the Mall of the Emirates, which is one of the largest malls in the world.
An extremely efficient insulation system is the key to maintain the temperature of -1 degrees Celsius during the day and -6 degrees during the night when the snow is produced.

The skiing area of Val Müstair is situated much above of the five villages in the valley - three services per day are operated to connect them with the lifts in Minschuns. The buses are operates by local Bus Val Müstair GmbH on behalf of PostAuto - at nice days often using two or even three buses per service. As snow was lacking in march, one bus was enough for the handful of skiers that still gave it a try on that day, seen climbing the incline between Valchava and Fuldera.
