Here's an idea: Look at the right side of your browser tool bar where there is a 'Page' icon. Click on there and go to the 'Zoom' button. Set zoom to 75% for 'big' pictures or 50% for 'really big' pictures. If "zoom" isn't part of your standard browser toolbar, try 'help'.

Guess I don't have enough posts to use the "J" word, but based on my limited experience, it would seem appropriate to insert it here.

Here is a tasty Morrison shot from Haines to add to the mix.

Thanks for adding to the stoke. There is too much polyass, not enough pow!

That is a fun run Morrison is ripping. I know TGR mostly has all their own names, but we call that area, "The Dirty Slots." Anyone care to take a guess why?

Holy hell I want to go this year...

Those are great shots.
Looking at the first photo of sexy spines on your first post, and the shot looking down it - why does the shot of it from the Heli seem so much steeper? It looks steep in all of them, but that Heli shot looks crazy compared to looking down it from the top. Great photos! Only a few more months...

Slopes generally look steeper when you are looking at them from straight on at a distance as opposed to looking down them. That being said, due to convexities on the slope, many of the steepest parts of the face are not visible from the top.

What would you say the average pitch of the spines is?

The average pitch on sexy spines is probably a little over 50 degrees. Here is a picture looking skier's left from the summit taken during a Level One Productions film shoot to give you another perspective. I just set my compass up to the screen and the inclinometer reads about 50 degrees at the bottom right of the picture. Though you can see that the slope gets progressively steeper moving down it.

Giant. Brass. Balls.

Ok thanks for the response. It looks much steeper from the head on view

If Sexy Spines doesn't do it for you, there is always Tomahawk, which has pwned more than a few suitors.

I have printed this image several times for Will. Good to see him get credit on this great image. Those are all my buds standing on top there too.

Do you guide up there or???
