Whistler definately rocks, great pics man.

I'll post "skiing the steeps" pics later this year.

I agree about Snowmass being in a valley cuz it is.
the 4 peaks are tough to get photographed so that they look like the do in RL.


here's that info I promised:

Aspen/Snowmass terrain info:

ski trail maps: (check out Highlands' bowls and steeps.. steepest in the country)

Still awaiting a response from the Finance Officer.;)
Some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountain that is pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain

cool .. that's where we used to sneak off to when we were in HighSchool.. get's damned cold up there though.. and windy as hell at times.

The 'cardboard derby' is usually held there along with SpringSplash.. good memories.

speaking of spring splash.. we have this thing here in the spring... a ski jump into a swimming pool...
judged by the crowd (of course)
and guess who usually wins?   that's right...
we're heathens..


naked women (ok. they're wearing skis)
