DescriptionView of a boy who has just skied over a jump made out of snow. He is mid-air and his arms are flung out behind him. There is a row of trees behind him to the left, and another smattering of trees in a line to his right. The hill does not appear to be very steep. It is covered with snow that is pock-marked with footprints. The boy's shadow can be seen on the snow underneath him, and there is another shadow, possibly of the photographer, in the bottom right corner.
