After this exceptional experience at La Pierra Menta, and showing my work to different media, I was contacted by Ski-Alper, an Italian-based magazine specialized on in ski mountaineering and also ultra-trail running races, to cover the next edition of the Mezzalama. This was too good to refuse! My first ski-mountaineering race was such an amazing experience that I needed to continue taking photographs in order to better understand what inspire these athletes to climb mountains so rapidly.
