Been looking at a Canon G11 as middle ground but just don't want to spend the money.

if you want an alternative to the g11 this is an earlier competitor of it ...

and the price of this one!!! (ps I have no connection with the seller)

I have had one for years and cant find a replacement

Cant say im a fan of the colouring you have done in some of those pics Tony.
Blue never works in snow scenes as it just makes it look like your WB is way off!

Thats fine, maybe you would care to share some of your photos with us all, and then I can have a go at pulling yours to bits as well?

That was taken just over the lip of a steep entrance to a red in Arcalis, Andorra, with the snow cannon not in operation.

I don't know about the others, but number 9 is from your recent holiday in Serre Chevalier. I remember looking at it and thinking that was presumably your wife, and how relaxed she looks on such a horribly steep slope :shock:

She's obviously a very good skier :D

It is, she is, and yes - she is.

Anyone up for naming the resorts in the photos, or better still the actual slopes in question where appropriate?

Great photos, must all have great memories too. I came into work on Monday morning with a Monday morning feeling but switched on my PC and was greeted with a wonderful view from the top of Cime Caron from two weeks ago which brightend me up for the week ahead. (if I work out how to add a photo here I'll upload it some time)

No I can't name the resorts but where is photo no 4? I like the look of the tree lines pistes.

Tony,
I am no good at all at recognizing pistes and mountains, but I do remember things that interest me. And I remember that you went on holiday to Serre Chevalier last year with a load of snow boarders and so I'd guess that's where the jumping snow boarder (photo number 5) was taken.
