There alot here so thanks for persevering, and if you want to see more head over to my Flickr

C&C welcome

[verreli]

No 3 for me. Were you located in the main spectator area?

[BDL]

I hate you

WHAT A SET!!!! 3!

[FarnboroJohn]

Another vote for three, but the rest, still blimey!!

[PeteFenwick]

Simply outstanding Mr Kenyon. There are some true gems in the pics but I also agree 3 by a whisker.
An epic walk I would wager but clearly worth it.

[reheat module]

Yep, if Carlsberg ever did an award for the best Axalp image, you'd be forever drinking free lager for No3 alone...!
Great set.

[Bobby Marley]

These are Amazing.

Firstly thank you all for the kind comments, Id been waiting for a sunny, snowy day for years and finally this year it all came together on the Monday.

To answer a couple of questions

No 3 for me. Were you located in the main spectator area?

Yes, from right by the tower

Simply outstanding Mr Kenyon. There are some true gems in the pics but I also agree 3 by a whisker. An epic walk I would wager but clearly worth it.

Thanks Pete, it was a great walk up through the snow in the dark, coming down was a different story with a few slips and slides along the way. Our original plan was to do Wildgarst on Monday but we had reports that it was inaccessible due to the snow, so a change of plan and a few extra hours in bed and a much easier walk up from Axalp village produced one of the best days photography Ive had.

For all of you who like #3 I was reluctant to post this as it does look a little unnatural/overprocessed, but those of you who know me know that a) I really am not a fan of overprocessed images and b) I don't have the pp skills to overprocess even if I wanted to, so the image is pretty much straight from the camera.

[Dr Cake]

Andy, it's as good as I thought it would be. So many stunners it's impossible to select a winner. That said, 17 would make a good christmas card! It was definitely one of the best days ever and your photos really prove it - well done

Will post when I get around to it...… Cheers.

Ready for some more?

By day 2 we had lost the sun and the snow was melting.....

I was going to say no.12 was my favourite then I saw no.7. But that last one you posted, fantastic set.

[verreli]

Good Shooting; I do like a good Axalp set. What a difference a day makes !...

[BobL]

Fabulous images -

[Ronoz]

A couple of great series, and certainly time well spent, the alpine back ground is also a very nice change too.

[Dr Cake]

Great to see Tuesday's shots Andy. Too much quality to choose a favourite! Won't forget all the mud going back down.

Fingers crossed for this year...….
