Outstanding, TahoeBC. Halls?
It took my about two years of fussing and swearing to get my angle where I want it. Its a little easier now that most cameras shoot at 170 degrees but there were times that I almost just chucked the damn thing against a wall. Have fun! :)Quote:

There was some great stuff still out there. Attachment 130532 all to ourselves.

My chiropractor showing us around.
nice pics jeff!!! looks like it had reset for you guys after all. sweet glorious apron pic especially.
e wind looks to have hit a lot of areas but spared a plenty. absolute velvet jones today!!!!
was that your truck i saw at the tallac th?
God it's beautiful there.
(all the snow doesn't hurt)
^^^yup. lap 1 off the backside n trees and 2nd down the hanging snowfield. we were thinking of skiing babycham but too many moguls in it.
Relentless wind at Kirkwood today. Snow was excellent. First warm day will be fantastic resort skiing.
Hourglass Tamarack Peak was pretty meh today. Very wind affected. Only decent snow was the low-no angle lines in the trees on the way back to ther road.
That would be Josh A.:Quote:

Great skiing. excellent edit.
Agree with the first (thanks for stoke), not the second. In too many POVs, I feel like I'm looking at my toes.Quote:

Tahoe mags!
Heading to Squaw from Whistler for a week at the end of January, and I need some ski advice.
I have room for two pair of skis, and I'm thinking of bringing the S7's with DH bindings and the DPS Wailers with Duke bindings for a touring option.
The other options are the S3's with Dynafits or the Super 7's with DH bindings. I might swap out the S7's for the Super 7's last minute if it looks like its dumping.
Does that seem reasonable?
If you see a couple dudes in Whistler Ski Patrol uniforms, say hello!
Assuming those are 112 wailers I would go with those and then a super light touring set up (S3's) if you want to have the choice and are seriously thinking about doing some walking.
Hopefully at the end of Jan itll be dumping again. Not much in the 10 day forecast. But there is a lot of snow on the ground right now.
Have fun down here it's the tits.
tech talk jong!! ;)
i would say dynafits, but once i tried them i never used dukes again.
it may not be your angle, could just be the settings. if you switch to 1280x960 I think that gives you a taller field of view. 4:3 vs 16:9.Quote:
