re...well, let's try this again<br /><br />beautiful shot<br /><br />reminds me of XC skiing +20 years ago in a bowl on Mammoth Mtn on a sunny but really cold day. Made for icy skittering down the road later in the shade, but the sunny bowl made for some lovely telemarking in the deep powder.Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12388261083998643091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652735961113162534.post-51934146339769620382011-03-07T08:52:42.771-08:002011-03-07T08:52:42.771-08:00It feels like a giant wave of moving snow, more li...It feels like a giant wave of moving snow, more like a swell than a crashing wave... just beautiful!<br /><br />GGenie -- Paris and Beyondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12758801373365481655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652735961113162534.post-17671923914357104522011-03-06T18:10:41.423-08:002011-03-06T18:10:41.423-08:00That's pretty much exactly what drew me to tak...That's pretty much exactly what drew me to take the photo Petrea!
