2014 National Geographic Photo Contest, Week 1

“A Guides Eye View”. Two mountain guides direct a helicopter into land high in the Swiss Alps on top of Mt. Gond. I took this shot whilst shooting an extreme ski and snowboard competition – the Nendaz Freeride FWQ. I had been dropped just before on the peak and with the permission of the guides cowered down behind them to capture this shot when the remaining supplies were delivered. My lens took a bit of a battering and I could only hold myself in position properly for a few seconds as the rush of snow debris was insane at this point. Photo location: Mt. Gond, Haute-Nendaz, Switzerland. (Photo and caption by Philip Field/National Geographic Photo Contest)
