Shadows and Courduroy

At the top of the second lift on the morning of day 2 of the ski trip. We caught the lift up directly after it opened and therefore were among the first skiers on the slope. The piste machines had groomed the slopes the nights before, leaving us this beautiful corduroy pattern to ski over (and destroy).
In Swedish the word for corduroy material is "manchester" so for Swedes this pattern on the snow is also "manchester".

A backblip - today's (Feb 25) picture will arrive a little later.
