Waiting Water and the Crash!

This lake will disappear to make artificial snow once the natural snow supplies run out!

All was so peaceful when we were skiing this morning until I went to have a rest by watching an international schools' ski race. An action shot for a change, I thought. However, I got more action than I expected. I had just lined up the camera and a skier got out of control, shooting throught the barrier and knocking me off my skis. Neither of us were hurt and even though my wonderful olympus EM5 was half buried in the snow, it still works. In fact it had worked during the CRASH see here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/hilarysview/with/15881264393/
