Killer photos. I like the photoshopping.
Sorry about the injury. I remember getting a dozen stitches in my head in 1994 at the Squaw clinic and then having to call my mom for our insurance and to confess that I had cut school that day to go skiing.

Damn, incredible shots in there. Looks like a pretty good time.
I think the potato gun proved the stability.

Each time I think the 666 TR's can't get any better I'm proven wrong. Sick shots in there.
My favourite - nicely fisheyed.
Get well soon buddy, hopes to sharing turns with you again some time.
Here is my prescription for you for a nice treat.

The recipe is pretty simple really. Take 2 parts good cameras with equal parts good conditions and ripping skiers. Bake on high at 375 for 30 minutes and you've got a tasty dish.

Way to get after it, boys... the POVs in your pictures are always top notch.
(I went through the shoulder thing; have some opinions... holler if you want any extra input).

Sorry about the shoulder, 6er. Looks like you were having a good time, until you weren't having a good time any more.
In retrospect, the scary face in the bay above Nelson (top right) should have been considered an ominous portent.

Spectacular TR. I love the point of view shot from the nest. You guys really got it good.
