Description
Well if you look to the summit you will see a #7. It shows up every spring and I was lucky enough to notice before it quickly went away this year.Skiers get helicopters to drop them off on the summit and they ski down the 7
Quite amazing really!Mt 7 can be seen from anywhere near our town. It towers over the town to the southeast and its 8500 feet high! To the left, notice a peek. That's where they launch hang and para gliders. They also do tandem paragliding and also ride mountain bikes down it. The launch site is at 6,500 feet and the bike trail has a vertical drop of over 4,000 feet. They used to have bike races down the mountain. The run was called "Psychosis".

Really great description of the mountain, I really like the effect of the clouds just to the left of the summit; as well as the way the number 7 shows up agianst the rock and the trees on the mountain side. Is the 7 made of snow? This has nice lighting as well.

Thank you
Yes the 7 appears only in spring and this year I got my chance and went for it. It was only visible for a week but was rain and cloud most times and couldn't bee seen. I was on the skihill about 25 km away so it was a fair distance.
Some people get a helicopter to take them up and they ski down it. Pretty amazing.
