Post your best pics from Part I of the 2007-08 ski season

[X-Linked]

Man, where to even begin. Many of the best of days had limited if any pictures taken, which is my general trend. Hard to take the picture out when there are many laps of untracked to be had. Here are a few of my favorites which may or may not be some of my better selections:

Jay Peak, VT: December 15th

Jay Peak, VT: November 12th

Full Gallery of 2007-2008 Season to Date

Definitely two of the coolest shots i have seen on these forums. With all of the new cameras and available tech to take great pictures, we should see some awesome ones this year.

Everyone definitely has nice Stoke for just 2 weeks into January. You know February is always good for a couple great pictures.

The squirrel pictures from the summit of Jay Peak came out really well. The full sequence is located here on my site. Absolutely a sensational day, especially for November 12th. I sat down near the summit to enjoy great solitary views on a blue bird day following a big snow fall and this little four legged creature comes walking up to introduce himself and beg for a bite of my sandwich, which it did not get. I just sat there snapping off pictures while it danced around me, as close as two or three feet, without any fear. Pretty cool experience on a phenomenal day that stands out amongst some very memorable days so far this season. That my friends is the beauty of touring in the mountains... it is more than just a skiing experience.

I forgot about my favorite shot from December of
Jordan Bowl at Sunday River on 12-23-07 with a cool inversion fog in the valley:

Steve, those squirrel pics are really good. When I first saw your avatar I thought the pic was fake or doctored or something. I love the red of the tail against that blue sky. Nice work! That first shot you posted of the tram really cool too.

austin, i like pic 5 because i can see the locks flowing. ;-)

in all seriousness, you do take some great pics.

I think pic 5 came is a great shot.

Just so everyone knows, I snapped pic 5. Mad locks action. Damned dirty hippie.

The pics are indeed real. What was unreal was being an arms length away from that marvelous creature up there for what seemed like forever but was more likely 10-15 minutes or so. Glad everyone is enjoying the pics. I find it humerus that for the past two months, so many people thought that my avatar was not my picture or was doctored.

Nice one Squirrelman!
Speaking of animals, my daughter and I have been trying to figure out how to get the family dog on skis or a board, but we both agree the dog seems to have more fun romping in the powder until of course it's way over her head.
