That day felt unusual — I was moving between two heavy layers of clouds.
The soft, filtered light gave the place a mysterious mood, transforming those modest mountains into something from a child’s fantasy tale.

End of the day.
I love when the light begins to fade in the mountains,
when the sun slips behind jagged summits or sparse clouds.
And when a few skiers know it’s the perfect moment to be out there

Remote isn’t just that thing on your coffee table…

you may discover it closer than you think.

I can’t get enough of that view, especially when heavy dark clouds sweep over Mont Blanc at day’s end, revealing the jagged Aiguilles de Chamonix. What a mood!

Moody light over Aiguille Verte. This giant summit of the Mont Blanc massif was shy that day, but it offered a perfect chance to showcase the iconic Grand Dru and the dramatic glaciers.

In the silence of the Alps, everything slows down and becomes real again.

Through our photography, we try to bring a piece of that stillness to you.

Blue hour over Mont Blanc. Deep winter — the cold settles in, the air perfectly still. Time to crawl into the sleeping bag and feel that first wave of warmth after the chill. No tent, just a bivy bag, open to the stars. Every second was worth it.

Portland's in the news for the worst possible reasons, so I'm wishing even harder it would just get on and snow so I can disappear into the ice on Mt Hood again. #mountaineering #alpinephotography
