Humans Vs. Nature

This is a skiier crashing in a Swiss Alps freeride competition. The motion of her hand reaching out of the avalanche of snow really caught my eye. I cannot belive that people see that they must risk their lives in such ways. I know they do it for the thrill or just to conquer the mountain, but come on that is straight dangerous! I think it is amazing that instead of just letting nature go about its business, humans want to take advantage over every aspect of the earth and show that we are stronger than it.
