Let's see those photos

Trencher — GMT

Would be nice to see more photos on the forum. Just in case you don't have process figured out, here's a few ideas. First you'll need to resize your pictures to fit nicely into the forum format. You can use larger sizes, but it makes it hard to scroll when looking at the thread. In your photo editing program, resize your image to something like 750 pixels wide (or smaller). Take care not to replace the original image when you save the resized image. Now, you will need an image (and video) hosting site. This is a site that will store your photo. This saves J2Ski servers from storing all those big photo files. I use TinyPic for photos http://tinypic.com/ , but there are others. Once you have uploaded your photo, you are given options for saving the url link to your photo. Choose the option for forums. Just click on it (which will copy the link) and you will then be able to paste the link into your forum post. Hey Presto - photo in mesage. Looking forward to "seeing" more of you. Trencher

Great idea. I just posted half a dozen or so in the Verbier thread. Maybe we should have a J2ski forum picture competition? No prizes, just put it to the vote as to the best photo? (I sense this may get competitive....????)

At some point early on in that jump I would have been glad to have had a builder's bottom. Would help to avoid a nasty mess :shock:

Great picture Rossfra8. You will have to form a packing list now, (old thread), and add long T shirts to the list. You still on Canadian snow, or back on Cairngorm stuff?

Here's a shot of my son TJ. He's 17. It's in a Downhill at Sarntal, Italy in March. He hit the jump at about 65mph and flew for about 40 metres. Nice sky too! AB

Re:Let's see those photos

Mike from NS — GMT

AB, They'll be using that shot at Sarntal for promo and advertising :!: :shock: Great shot ... was the landing as good ??? Mike :wink:

Re:Let's see those photos

AB — GMT

Mike, He tells me the landing was pretty good. He's now ranked No 15 in the world for U18 in Downhill. Not bad considering he's from that well known British alpine resort of Norwich!!!! Here's another from the British Junior Super G champs in Meribel just 2 weeks ago. Picture by Racer Ready He's also ranked No 12 in the world for U18 in Sup G. His web site is www.tj-ski.com AB :D

Re:Let's see those photos

Great shots AB. You must be very proud (and very busy) Trencher

Re:Let's see those photos

Here is another option, great for sharing with friends or the whole internet. Fairly recently Hotmail have introduced SkyDrive which gives 5Gb of free space which can be shared any way u want, so here is a folder I have created and given public sharing to: http://cid-cc870dc63154a0f5.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Les2Alpes%202008 These are all in Les2Alpes.

I survived the bears no problem but it was the squirrels that were dangerous! I was coming down a narrow track in Blackcomb, happily cruising along, when a black squirrel ran full pelt across my line. He didn't exactly give me much time to react but I did manage toavoid him although he may have slightly shorter tail fur. Squirrels are my favourite but this one definitely has a destructive streak. Don't think ill of squirrels from now on - I'm sure this one is just a bad egg.

Tony, is the top one Red 7 in Mayrhofen? If so, I loved that run, you can get some extreme speed going through the middle of it.

For those who are interested: Mayrhofen pics: 1. Red 7 taken from the cafe past the first chairlift. Yes, Tino, its my favorite run on the Penken side because in the right conditions you can get a right lick on, and its also quite varied. 2. Eddenwald red run on the Ahorn. The Abfahrt off the mountain runs off the bottom of this run. It was almost deserted in January. 3. Rastkogel, showing the off piste tracks. This was taken from the chairlift back up towards the 150 man car. 4. The Filtzenstadl cafe at the top of the Ahorn, where you get off the new 8 man chair. Mrs H said the cafe was new as she had never seen it before: I think its been there about 100 years or something....made me laugh. 5. Mrs H looking gorgeous in the early morning sun. Sauze pics: 1. 1 man chairlift, link to Sestriere. 2. Montgenevre, taken from the "other side". 3. Part of the Banchetta Olympic run, with an early morning ski school taking a gentle run down. 4. The top of Monte Triplex, Sauze, looking right across the valley.

wow! what amazing photos. I need to have that camera (or a more steady hand than I've got).

Ha. Theres nothing flash about it at all. Its a simple Kodak Easyshare V570, cost about £130, and its already been superceded by about 2 updated models since I got it. But its small and easy to use, fits in the ski jacket pocket nicely, and I often grab it and take random snaps on the slopes. The nest pics are the ones you just snap instantaneously, rather than the posed ones.

Its the link between Sauze and Sestriere, and people travel both ways. Its not a lift up to a piste.

Re:Let's see those photos

ellistine — GMT

I was gutted that lift was shut when we were there. I've always wanted to ride a one man. Mmm, that sounds wrong.

I love that run, specially coming off the steep through the shallow part where the blue crosses it. Reduce my height from about 6'5" in boots to about 3'6" by crouching and getting down the length of it (I guess 700-800m) using my edge no more than 3 or 4 times......would love to know what speed I was doing but I was overtaking decent skiers and boarders like a Porsche 911 overtakes a forkift on the autobahn.

Re:Let's see those photos

bennyboy — GMT

Really cool pics!!! Mine are all taken in Big White in Canada. Tonnes of snow there always, many awesome powder days throughout the season!!! And yeah the trees at the top are known as "Snow Ghosts". Doesnt happen in all that many places worldwide. its to do with the snow and the ice thats in the cloud which just encased the trees in both. They look really easy to ski in but hit one and it hurts soo bad cos its solid!!

Re:Let's see those photos

bennyboy — GMT

Here's some more....

Re:Let's see those photos

bennyboy — GMT

Re:Let's see those photos

Gooseh — GMT

Here are a few snaps from my exploration of the French alps... A picture I took whilst on a rope tow in La Plagne, I think... I think this was taken on the ski down from the Aguille Rouge in Les Arcs. At the bottom, there was a restaurant in which you could find a rabbit hopping about. I think he did rather well for food, given how popular he was with the patrons... And how fat he was! An 'if only...' mountain, I think. Off the back of the glacier in Val Thorens - very jealous of whoever made those tracks.

Re:Let's see those photos

bennyboy — GMT

Nice pics Gooseh!! I also wish i was the owner of those tracks :lol: Caron-a you should go to Big White, its awesome!! Not a hard mountain by any means but loads of fast cruisers and steep stuff if you know where to find it!

Les Deux Tetes I think above 1600, a prominent landmark visible from down the Tarentaise as you drive in.

Thanks for the good wishes IceGhost, TJ will be doing a fitness camp in Graz with GB team in August. Maybe you will see them about? Here are a couple more pics of him in action in GS races. Picture by Racer ready. Just thought I'd mention that he is looking for more sponsorship to help pay for next season's training and racing with the GB team. Anyone interested? AB. )
