There's nothing I love more than looking at photos of holidays gone by to get in the mood for the new season. I think we could get a good compilation if everyone posted some of their favourites. It'd also give people a good look at places they're thinking of going.

I'll get the ball rolling:

Andorra

I'd like to see other people's photos. I'll root around for some more if the thread takes off.

Edit: Can only post 15 images at a time.

Good thread, I will prob put some up one of the days.

Livigno

San Moritz

I love that last photo, because I'd just gotten caught in really, really deep powder where there was literally no end in sight. I waded through the stuff for a good ten minutes until I finally got back to solid land. The shaded part of the photo is where the powder was, it was like quicksand. My friend took the photo because he was laughing his ass off at the pure anguish on my face. Best workout ever!

lol, gotta hate that. I always feel like such a muppet when I end up doing it by mistake.

Static M.e. · 03-09-2007 9:58am

love this thread, I'll post some once I get home

5starpool · 03-09-2007 11:44am

I think this thread deserves to be stickied.

Necronomicon · 03-09-2007 4:39pm

Wow, my first sticky

Looking forward to seeing other people's photos, and of course being able to add to my own in january!

Some pics from Finland

robinph · 04-01-2008 11:33am

This is from a couple of years ago now but I quite like this one of Pas de la Casa in Androrra, 10 seconds later and I'd have missed the shot as the village dissapeared under the cloud:

Hoping to have some good ones of the Matterhorn for your entertainment after next week.

Necronomicon · 04-01-2008 2:21pm

That's a great shot alright. I also like Static M.E.'s last one.

Off to Les Deux Alpes tomorrow, I'll be back with photos soon after

mcgratheoin · 09-01-2008 12:53pm

Nice little off-piste run in St. Anton last weekend

This is the back side from St Anton - before the snow fell on Saturday night.

Neilthefunkee1 · 10-01-2008 1:08am

Well i got some snow in today... Dublin Mountains!

Big air from Ros(above)

Myself touchin down the 180

Bit of arty air from myself

Ros wit another air

Snow depth was good in places!!

Tweaked air

Last shot of the day

ShayK1 · 10-01-2008 11:09am

cool photos!! Is that really in the Dublin Mountains?

Neilthefunkee1 · 10-01-2008 1:16pm

it is indeed!! We were up at viewpoint... check out page 3 of the Irish Independent today got my picture in it too..

here the pic from their website by Tom Burke

Don1 · 10-01-2008 3:12pm

Fair play. Looked at the online story. Clicked on the next pic and nearly fell off the chair laughing. First there's you going mad boarding, then next, some poor aul wan with her car in bits under a tree. Such a contrast!

robinph · 14-01-2008 1:00pm

Was having trouble uploading my pictures from last week in Zermatt so far due to some problem with flickr, and I also have several hundred to go though and find the decent ones too, but here is one of the better ones of the view from our hotel balcony that I did manage to upload:

Static M.e. · 15-01-2008 7:44pm

Good Photo, looking forward to seeing the rest of them!

Necronomicon · 18-01-2008 10:57am

Well, rather belatedly, here are some photos from last week in Les Deux Alpes:

Here is a few of us at the snowpark. Spent hours there, I was delighted in the end because I started getting my 180's

But here's what happens when you get too cocky

Outside our apartment, there was a small little snow field where people had made a ramp and put a bench on the other side of it. We had great fun with it:
Bench%20again.jpg

The snow on the day of our pick up was incredible, people skiing on the streets and everything:
DSC00144.JPG?imgmax=800

I love this photo, because it gives you an idea of our visibility at times:
SA400013.JPG?imgmax=800

Then there's this one, with the village surrounded by clouds:
SA400016.JPG?imgmax=800

Neilthefunkee1 · 18-01-2008 8:26pm

absolutely savage snow there man... the first few aren't showin though, maybe its my end??

Necronomicon · 18-01-2008 8:51pm

No its not just you. Thats weird because when I posted them earlier they definitely came out. They're not photos but they are screen shots I pulled from my cam-corder, that must be the problem.

I'm actually posting from my wii so when I get back on my pc I'll fix it and post more

jimdev · 21-01-2008 2:56pm

UCD Ski Trip, Les Arcs, January 18th on the Bois De l'Ors run, skiing off-piste between the avalanche barriers on the way to lunch in Arc 1950. This was definately my favourite little piece of the slopes in Les Arcs.

DeadParrot · 22-01-2008 11:59am

I've a ton of pics from Marmot Basin in Jasper
I'll try put some up later

Necronomicon · 23-01-2008 8:59pm

I think too much time has elapsed for me to try to fix my post, so I'll try to post those pictures again:

Right, those ones above are screen shots pulled from my camcorder, if they don't work this time I guess they won't work. These should be grand:

SA400057.JPG?imgmax=800

This is on the glacier, the photo doesn't really do justice to the blizzard-like conditions!
SA400060.JPG?imgmax=800

This is one of the runs on the glacier, going up the chair lift you literally had to hold your face in your hands or have it sliced off. I think the day I took this there were 38 km/h winds:

SA400063.JPG?imgmax=800

And here's the snow park:

SA400072.JPG?imgmax=800

And one of my favourite photos, the night-skiing run:

Don1 · 25-01-2008 10:17am

Just looking through the photos sticky and got to thinking surely people have videos of themselves and others either being unbelievably good or hillariously bad? Either way I think it'd be nice to see some peoples in action as opposed to talking about it.

I have none at hand at the minute, (interfering web filter in work getting in my way) but surely there are linkages to youtube and other such wonderous sources???

Let the ego massaging or straight up abuse begin!

(maybe less of the abuse, what with the charter and all that!)

EDIT: It could also serve as an instructional aid to beginers, but mostly for one-upmanship and psyching people up

edmund_f · 25-01-2008 11:19am

sure for what its worth, my first experience of a cat run, completely out of control - don't worry knew the people sitting down

Hope they work for you all

Static M.e. · 25-01-2008 11:52am

I love that last run in Finland! You had some speed coming down the run

Don1 · 25-01-2008 12:08pm

Tryin to keep up with the speedy bastid is why I sustained a head injury! :rolleyes:

However, Pantera or Kyuss on the headphones, icy ground and an inability to link turns also contributed!

ShayK1 · 25-01-2008 12:33pm

Thank you Static M.e.

@Don1: I think the run I passed you out on was faster??

robinph · 25-01-2008 12:39pm

I've not got round to putting together my videos from this year yet so I just have a couple from last year at the moment. I don't think they are going to be in anyway of use as "an instructional aid to beginers" though but seeing as you asked for video here what I've got...

Video taken in Mottaret in Jan 2007:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoJzMhjh08c

...another re-edited video from Mottaret:

...another taken in Livigno:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXBNn8aDnBA

...and just for something completely different how about some bob-sleigh from Sigulda in Latvia:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BS6pFGcHCU

Once I have a spare several days to go through the many hours of new stuff I got in Zermatt I'll be sticking that up as well.

Static M.e. · 25-01-2008 5:10pm

This is my first jump in Soldeu, Andorra back in Feb '05.

It speaks for itself

Don1 · 25-01-2008 5:22pm

Classic. Quite similar to Shayk1's only I was in a worse position with a crappier camera!!

robinph · 25-01-2008 5:25pm

@Static M.e.
Very nice crash.

For anyone wondering how to inline your YouTube vid's with your posts, just use these tags around the random code from the url and leave out the spaces.

[ youtube ]aBc123XyZ[ / youtube ]

mcgratheoin · 25-01-2008 6:14pm

5th day on skis - snowboarder cut in front of me on a kicker. :mad:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mc9Vv0cfSy4

same day - I'm the second skier

5starpool · 25-01-2008 6:19pm

I think this would be good to merge with the photos sticky.

Necronomicon · 25-01-2008 6:49pm

Good idea. I was trying to upload one of my videos to youtube but it was taking ages.

Can you embed videos with those tags if they're on a site besides youtube?

paulharte · 02-02-2008 1:16pm

a vid from a day in the park last spring in whistler, the tricks aren't top drawer (we lost a whole tape) but its a fun little vid

Fixed that for you.

I think it's the %20 in the path that may have messed up the link as that is recognised as a space.
