I have been snowboarding a lot the past few years thanks to my wife, Lexi, re-introducing me to snow sports. We had a Tahoe Local Vail Pass for two seasons, and that meant a lot of trips to Northstar. I was amazed about the beautiful sunrises, and I finally stopped along the side of the road and snapped a picture while on my way to the resort.

I took this photo with my Canon 5D Mark III, and edited it with Adobe Lightroom. I’m thinking of posting some of my presets so others can quickly get this same look. I pushed a lot of purple into the highlights to give it this look.
