This image depicts an active ski slope under a clear blue sky in a ski resort near Smolyan, Bulgaria. The sun, partially obscured by a tall, snow-laden evergreen tree on the far left, emits bright light and a visible lens flare. Multiple snow-making cannons are actively operating along the left side of the slope, producing large plumes of artificial snow/mist that are brightly backlit by the sun; at least three distinct plumes are visible, with two cannons clearly identifiable in the mid-ground foreground. A multi-chair ski lift system spans diagonally across the mid-ground, ascending the slope, with at least two occupied chairs visible. Dense evergreen forests, uniformly covered in snow, line both sides of the prepared slope. The snow-covered ground displays varied textures, indicating grooming and skier traffic. In the lower right quadrant, two individuals, clad in winter attire, are walking uphill on the snow. Orange safety markers are positioned near the snow cannons on the left. A small, reflective green object is present on the right edge of the slope.
