Winter ski pics

5191H · Nov 24, 2010

With Torch's inspiration I was hoping to start a picture thread of your favorite winter ski pics from around the country and the world.

With the late November rains here the probability of an early solid freeze up is just not going to happen.

late spring lunch stop at Lake George, AK near Knik Glacier.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

And to Family, Friends, our Dedicated Military and their Families and of course the Wright Brothers...Thank you!!!

Kind of a Find Waldo image.

Two winters ago.

Some re-runs but I was going to can pbase so I did not post any last year shots. It does have a previously locked folder that's open though.

Think snow.

Those are great shots. I'm amazed at how pretty Alaska truly is.

How do you know how deep the snow is when landing? How do you prevent from hitting soft snow? Are there certain things to look for before landing? I'm from the desert in CA and don't see conditions like this.

2010 Spring Ski Trip.....

Checking out a new spot. Great snow!

Son Isaac having a blast on his snowboard. Now in U.S. Air Force as an F-16 crew chief.

Camping on the mountain, Spring 2010 Ski Camp. Would you sleep alone in a tent with this guy? Fortunately it caught fire in the midle of the night.

Skis are always fun!

Wish I had a picture of last year when I landed in a field combined with a stripper head.
Was to busy cussing and busting snow that was waist deep I guess.
