I know you have your catalog of content links, not sure. Maybe put them in the left side framed area. I would also take the header images from maybe some of the other sections and incorporate them into an icon/button for the other sections. Summarize them a bit more and not provide as many sub-nav right off the bat. I could go on an on with ideas and suggestions.

Not sure what you mean by "flush with frames". I plan to set up some sort of buttons for the different sections. If you're bored, feel free to take a whack at it. In terms of size, I would try to stick something along the lines of this image:

I would also like to base it off the blue and green from the headers.

Can you handle vertical instead of horizontal images? If so, I offer this, which is one of my most favorite pictures I've ever taken.

Also, a few recent shots from Whiteface, in the ADK's:

SWEET! And those summit pics. I think I may have to go see Whiteface myself now.

Thanks!

Somewhere on the web I saw a trip report from some folks who actually braved the huge slides that are between the summit and the downhill ski area, and so skied up the toll road, hiked to the summit, and skied down alpine-style.

I'll say this ... looking down on the ski area (and that alone is kind of weird), they looked awfully *cold* that day!

Thanks Michael! I added all four!

What do you all think is a good title for this rotating image? Right now, the "Today's Forum Member Image" is kind of a misnomer as it rotates based on page view not on a daily basis. Some that I've been considering are:

"An Image from a Member"
Simply, "Forum Member Image"

........I'm having a brainfreeze on coming up with something catchy. Any ideas?
