Late to this, but a pic I ❤️. From Oct. 25, by Italian sports shooter Alessandro Trovati at the Austria Alpine Skiing World Cup. American Mikaela Shiffrin traverses the white canvas of the Giant Slalom course dotted by red and blue trail markers. Blue dye lines help skiers navigate the snowy course.
