 Sugar Bowl mountain ski resort. Since I was skiing, using my SLR was more-less out of question, so I borrowed my friend's little Nikon 5400. To get a kick to the sky, put my big 72mm polarizer in front of its little lens.

I am so un-used to shoot with these little P&S :) It was hard to control the framing on the LCD surrounded by the blinding Sun and snow...

Beautiful scene. Great color and exposure control; composition is very nice. I wish I could see the tip-top of the tree. Very nice entry.
