Each winter my wife and I spend two months in the Colorado Rockies in Summit County (Keystone & Breckenridge resorts) for some fantastic skiing and socializing with our many friends. Among the activities for the senior group there is the 50+ Winter Games; several friends and I volunteer to do photography for the Games each year. My particular specialty each year is the Giant Slalom competition at Keystone. I would add that these competitors are obviously over 50 yo with the majority landing in their 70's and even 80's.

I use a Nikon D610 with a 28-300 lens, shooting for several hours in very cold conditions with variable cloudiness and frequent snow showers. In short conditions are anything but ideal. Here are a few of the results of this years effort (selected out of over 300).
