Snowboarders who don’t like mountains are like surfers who don’t like waves: Fucking weirdos. So, we’re guessing you’re not weird and will enjoy a whole heap of shots of mountains that should give you an alpine boner.

A great action shot is always going to get the blood pumping, but equally there’s something to be said for enjoying the silence of a jaw-dropping photograph of those heavily eroded hunks of rock that we play on. Mountains are epic – at once peaceful and places of sanctuary for a millennia, while being equally unpredictable and even downright dangerous.

Find a quiet corner away from prying eyes, and enjoy this first instalment of our senior photographers’ finest mountain porn.
