Every winter, on the Gran Risa slope in Alta Badia, one of the most iconic races of the Alpine Ski World Cup takes place.
This project doesn’t portray the competition itself, but what makes it possible: invisible work, daily precision, a ritual that repeats year after year.
For two seasons, I observed the mountain before the crowds arrived, before the athletes entered the course.
I followed the quiet preparation of the slope, the gestures of the people who maintain it, the focused stillness of those who face a legendary track.
A visual story shaped by snow, light, and discipline.
Shot over two winter seasons on the Gran Risa slope, one of the most iconic and demanding venues in international alpine skiing.
