Whatever works.. Laughing

Going off the bump threw me a bit, so I did a P-turn

I sometimes ski like this:

Sometimes like this:

I am surprised that the Ron thing persists- I thought it was fixed.

Hey Ray! So goofing is fun and then sled hauling is work...

Yes to both! And, BTW, thanks for hauling sled!

My first offering. Not happy with this form but in my defense I was leaning in to hopefully white-wash the photographer.

Next up: Testing the snow on Cody Peak near Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. (Thank you Eric for this photo)

Now the good stuff: Eating some snow for Lunch that day, Grand Teton National Park.

Solitude Resort Utah: dipping deep to maximize the dust on Crust, (Thank you George for the photo)

Targhee 2011 Tele Big Mountain Comp. Somewhere in my run.

The second skier in the clip. All of two and a half turns of my fame.

Just some humble stuff, always having fun.

Great stuff there, Galen.

RE: that second pic, it's hard to figure stuff out, like which way is down? Like some Escher drawing it requires close examination and I'm still confused.

As to the second picture. Eric does stuff with a camera and a computer that I some times cannot comprehend either. In this case he is above me looking down the face towards me.

And the video is at Targhee 2011. I gave the Big Mtn. comp a try. It was fun and a really cool experience. I occasionally drop stuff but rarely in the full throttle manner of the competition so I don't really see myself ever being competitive.

Posing in front of some poor choices from the previous day of free skiing. We worked the cliffs at the left edge of the picture. I got my scare on and was pretty sore for the competition the next day.
