The image depicts a snowy mountain landscape at a ski resort in Villard-sur-Doron, France, viewed from beneath a ski lift mechanism. The upper right portion of the frame shows a large, weathered metal pulley wheel with a patterned surface and a smaller, brighter metal wheel, part of a ski lift's grey housing and cables. The midground and foreground are dominated by a wide, well-groomed ski slope covered in fresh snow, exhibiting distinct parallel corduroy patterns from recent grooming. To the left, a multi-paneled wooden directional signpost, displaying various colored route markers, is mounted on an orange pole beside a tall evergreen tree. To the right, a lone individual, dressed in a white jacket and dark pants, stands on skis, holding ski poles, facing away from the viewer and looking towards the distant terrain. The background features a vast expanse of snow-covered mountains and valleys, with scattered evergreen trees, all under a partly cloudy sky that transitions from bright blue patches to heavier grey cloud formations.
