Thats about what mine is, although the flash doesn't seem to make much of a difference in the time (at least in my very precise tests here in my office...). I guess I just needed to take more shots.

BTW, thanks for the new avatar Greg!

Looks like you guys had a great time, despite the less than optimal conditions. Maybe next time I'll break out of the shell and join you.

I'm horrible at taking action shots

....and i usually ski poorly in front of any camera.

Yes, if you look at the larger version of the pic you can make out the silhouette of my head toward the right side of the cloud...

What can I say? A great group of guys, some great sunshine, a nice mountain, and good conversation.

I had an excellent time!

ChileMass is certainly quite a character and I hope that Rivercoil's plans to escape to Burke work out

In addition to what Greg said, in the afternoon we hit some nice powder/LG on the sides of the trails (mainly Big Chief). Though these lines were between 2 and 3 yards wide, the turns in them were SWEEEEEEETTTT!!! :P I also kept my reputation as a closer...took two more runs between 3:30 and 4pm on the west side checking out the outward bound (?) trail and later Katie's Run and War Dance which were decent. Was planning on taking it easy but I guess that meant getting off the slopes at 3:55 as opposed to 4pm

.

As for Greg's mention of Powdah, I did make the drive to Pat's yesterday and enjoyed some boot deep powder on the sides of the trails (drool). Only went for a couple hours before the freezing fog (yuck) got to us (which made for interesting driving).

Hope to ski with you all soon!
