heckuva shot B
Thanks DHS! It was way overexposed and I was too far away, but I really liked the action in the shot so I did my best to rescue it in post processing.
It was my first time skiing with the DSLR, because it's so bulky. But it worked out pretty well with the pack that I was wearing. I plan on taking it out more often in the future, hopefully I'll get a little better with some practice...

Thanks WD!
that makes me want to shoot more. It's really hard to get good snow shots. I've got a DSLR and I wouldn't dare bring it on the mountain :smash:
Well, maybe I would but it wold really hinder my ability to ski the way I like to ski, haha. How did you even deal with the cold that day? I took my P&S out literally twice.
Yeah, I was pretty apprehensive about bringing it out, but even with that fairly large pack I was using I didn't really notice it at all. I skied just the same with it there. The camera itself is an older model from Canon's pro-sumer line, so it's pretty sturdy. It also wouldn't be the end of the world if something were to happen to it, since it's several years old. The last thing I want to do it take something out on the mountain with me that I'm super worried about breaking.
As far as the cold goes; it didn't seem too bad on Sunday with the short amount of time I had my hands exposed. I did eventually figure out that I could open the bag and take pictures with my gloves still on, which made it a non-issue. With the sling bag I was able to stop and have the camera out, taking pictures in a matter of seconds. Sometimes a little longer when I didn't take my gloves off.

Holy crap, no kidding. Nothing to be disappointed with there, B! Looks like you took the DSLR for that day? Nice results, especially the shots of Greg. I just jumped into the M4/3 market with an Oly E-PL2. Add on a pancake and it is jacket pocketable at the size of a 12 year old hefty digital P&S.

jan was jealous and vows she will make it next year, good to see you again, had a great time skiing with you, see you next year
I've got a T2i. I love the pics it takes. But I can't take it skiing.
I brought my new pocket camera, a Canon S95 on the trip. But even that made me nervous, I yard saled at least 4x and that's exactly how I busted my old Canon SD800, by falling on my side and cracking the LCD.
I remember my dad skiing with us as a kid; constantly with the video camera out :smash:
Thanks guys!
Yeah Steve, I just took it out on Sunday. Now that I've done it once I'll be taking it out more often. That's a nice looking camera you got there. I'll be interested to hear how it works out for you!
well, he did have some serious armor on his ski pants; I don't think a match for his dome should be too hard to convince him of.......
great skiing with you this weekend!!! How was Stratton on Monday?
Stratton was firm and fast! We had a good time blowing down most of our favorites. Believe it or not, we all actually thought it felt colder at Stratton than at Sugarloaf - it was a bit windier, I think. But, the beers in Grizzly's at lunch and apres ski warmed us right up! :beer:

One thing I will always remember about the Summit this year is finally learning how to correctly pronounce wa-loaf's first name. :lol:

You should of seen Paul and I when we checked into the condo the first year with it under his name, we used the "J" as in the girls name!

Here's some pics from the whip....
Take a look at the above pic... The lift you can see just to skiers right of the bottom of the trail is the Whiffletree HSQ...
That should help you find it on the map.
It's an old T-Bar line.

If the t-bar was still there we could have lapped that side of the hill a lot easier last weekend ...
