a day so nice, i posted twice

February 24, 2010

I wielded the Flip video cam on yesterday’s Little Cottonwood tour, and while it’s very handy and creates fun little videos, it’s not what you’d call High Def. What? It IS an HD Flip? Hmm, you keep using that word, I don’t think it means what you think it means.

Luckily Rob was along and brought his awesome camera.

And so, I give you, Rob’s pics. There are a lot of them, but I couldn’t pick any to leave out. It was that nice of a morning.

Getting ready to drop Holy Toledo:

Me and Ian, definitely NOT racing up the ridge:

Rick, about the drop the easterly aspect of Little Superior:

Wanna see his face? I wanna see his face:

Okay, you can see the lower half of his face.

Some actual skiing pics. It’s hard to get pictures of Ben skiing, he disappears quickly:

Ian, living the dream:

In all, a day that didn’t suck.
