EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lively and festive photograph captured by Denis Balibouse, we witness the exhilarating spirit of Christmas come to life in the picturesque alpine ski resort of Verbier, Switzerland. The image showcases a man dressed as Santa Claus fearlessly navigating a curve during a promotional event on the opening weekend. The vibrant red suit worn by the daring skier stands out against the pristine white snow-covered slopes, creating a striking contrast that captures our attention. With his long white beard flowing behind him and his rosy cheeks glowing with excitement, he embodies the jolly and adventurous nature of Saint Nicholas himself. As part of this special occasion, skiers who embraced their inner Santa Claus were rewarded with free access to the resort on this day dedicated to celebrating Saint-Nicolas. This unique initiative not only adds an element of fun but also spreads joy and holiday cheer among both locals and visitors alike. Denis Balibouse skillfully freezes this thrilling moment in time, allowing us to feel as if we are right there alongside Santa Claus as he gracefully glides through the mountainous terrain. Through his lens, Balibouse captures not just an ordinary skiing experience but rather a magical celebration where tradition meets adventure in one unforgettable scene.
