Brett starts his run. The sun was behind him, barely shielded from the lense by my hand. You can't see much of him.
|
|
|
|
Here he comes...
|
|
|
|
closer...
|
|
|
|
and closer...
|
|
|
|
Brett makes smooth, easy turns.
|
|
|
|
Wahoo.
|
|
|
|
Ok, that was tough, so we headed to the bar for drinks. Luckily, the bar was open at 10am. I think this is Brett's second Mt. Bachelor.
|
|
|
|
Ah, nice and limbered up, we're back out on the slopes. Believe it or not, the liquer helps.
|
|
|
|
Brett is skiing a bit more aggressively.
|
|
|
|
Step, turn.
|
|
|
|
Nice shot.
|
|
|
|
Coming around...
|
|
|
|
and...
|
|
|
|
We have lift-off.
|
|
|
|
Now, that's nice form.
|
|
|
|
Whoops!
|
|
|
|
Ok. This requires some explaination. We were using the CoolPix on rapid-shot mode, allowing us to get 2 shots per second. This run was Brett's first try with the camera, and he accidentally got about 10 frames of me just standing at the top of the run.
|
|
|
|
Once I got started, this guy got in front of me and I couldn't get around him.
|
|
|
|
Things just weren't going right.
|
|
|
|
|
Finally, I faked him out and got past. I threw out a bunch of photos with him zig-zagging in front of me.
|
|
|
|
Most of these shots are too far away. It wasn't Brett's fault; the CoolPix takes some getting used to.
|
|
|
|
I'm skipping the really boring shots.
|
|
|
|
La, la, la...
|
|
|
|
Hmmm, hmmm...
|
|
|
|
I think my turns were too quick for the CoolPix, since I seem to be really zig-zagging.
|
|
|
|
What's this? Terrible form. Never do this on your turns.
|
|
|
|
Whoa. See ya later.
|
|
|
|
Aaaah. The mountain. This is from the top of the Pine Martin lift.
|
|
|
|
You can tell that this is very early in the season by the scarce snow. The base was 17 inches up here.

I really like this shot. Brett is a bit hard to discern, but the wind whipping the snow around on the peak is gorgeous.
