Skier Tightens Boots Under Chairlift

by Mallory Ortega

A skier stands in sharp silhouette beneath a steel chairlift structure, their form dark against the burning orange and violet glow of the early summer sun. Snow flecks rest on the metal cables and the queue of chairs hanging above. The ground is a packed, textured surface of white ice and gray dirt, compressed by heavy use. Dramatic, heavy clouds stack high in the sky, breaking the horizon with jagged edges of light. The figure bends forward, hands gripping the plastic buckles of heavy ski boots, the posture frozen in a moment of preparation. Long shadows stretch across the snow, defining the steep slope of the run near Queenstown. The metal frame of the lift towers overhead, creating a geometric cage against the soft, colorful sky.
