Thread: Photo TR: 1-12-08 I love Bert

Some photos were already posted in the Berthoud conditions/observations thread, but I think I've got enough here to warrant a separate thread. Well, really, I'm just an attention whore.

HikeforTurns getting things started in FP:

It was good. Very good. Sometimes it was even neck deep:



We then met up with FrontRangeDrummer and headed to HHA Trees. The weather seemed to only get better as the day went on; it was an awesome day all around (photo by HfT):


HikeforTurns again:

Then, it was on to the west side for some rock hopping and more powder skiing:
FRD getting airborne a couple of times:

...a little 3 shot sequence...






View of the same drop from below (photo by HfT):


And then the gaper jumping (me), landing gear out early. Nor can I decide at this point if "it's good" or not. (photo by FRD)


And on to a few more jumps. FRD (photo by HfT):

Another multishot sequence of FRD:










And a few powder turns to wrap things up. FRD:

Nice....

Berthoud delivers again.

Saw you guys droping the rock from the parking lot, nice work

SPthompson... you didn't put the rest of the sequence of your landing in, why not?

it took you guys long enough to sack up and hit that thing.... you even had a bunch of people in the parking lot watching you

Nice work... Looks like Bert is skiing well.

My day is going like shit. Those pics make me happy.

what are you doin up at 3am?

Nice pics, that was a fun day! Lets get out again sometime soon.

Nothing too exciting to see, as I'm sure anyone could surmise from the photo shown. I don't think my faceplant was really captured. But, just for you, here's the before and after of my pencil dive form. Right at takeoff, it looks promising, but quickly falls apart.

I do some of my best work at 3am. This wouldn't be an example...but I've done other things really well at 3am.

Damn. That looks DEEP.

Awesome TR!

I've often said "Berthoud's sick" and this photo proves me right.

Loving the Bert stoke. Looks like a really sweet day!

We were... um... waiting for the photographer....

Seriously, that was just about the biggest drop that I have stuck cleanly. That day was a big confidence booster in that department.

SPT, feel free to post the sequences I emailed you.

High quality TR

so sweet. nice job guys.
