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…

I'm flying out saturday morning to meet him.

Finally managed to compress a video enough to get it onto YouTube.

So here is every bail caught on camera on our holiday in Les Deux Alpes a few weeks ago. Enjoy

2008 A mate jumping onto the airbag in Ischgl - a bit dark though...

2006 View from lunch in Zell am See - cool little place, you had to get a skidoo to pull you back to the piste.

This is the only semi-decent video of me from NZ. Was only doing jumps a few days at this stage so I'm happy. Icy as hell too that night. Busy working that night as you can see!

This is Val d'Isere a few years ago up on the Pissaillas Glacier, makes me laugh everytime I watch it. It's a mate of mine landing on his snot attempting some air.

I've done that with photoshop.
Take a multishot (tech terms are not my thing) and then layer them over each other, need a tri-pod to keep it still enough, so it is the same picture, just with the boarder in a different position.

I've got myself one of these, which the plan is to then be able to create a tripod type thing by wrapping it around my skis and then try for some fancy shots like that with my DSLR. I just have yet to lug all my kit up a mountian on a fine enough day and find a decent spot to do such things yet.

Actually there was no tripod involved, just my brother and his nikon digital SLR, and a very steady hand!!

Once you have the shots you can stitch the shots together using layer masks in photoshop, there are loads of tutorials online about this, just google it.

The hard part is finding a camera that will shoot burst shots fast enough, most point and click cameras are way too slow

the first two are from January 2007. i went up to Beijing for about 5 days (i was living in Hong Kong at the time) for a Burton jam. got to ride with Wang Lei, Burton-sponsored Pro. awesome week. Man-made snow in Nanshan was pretty sweet, as was the park.

lift and matterhorn porn from Zermatt, Dec '06 (actually about 2 weeks before Beijing!)

and here's me building a kicker at a public park in toronto about 2 weeks ago. (we had been at mt st louis moonstone the week before, were due to go to horseshoe that day, but were denied entry on bus cos boards weren;t in bags. we made our own fun though

boards of canada (;) the burton troop is my baby. arent the travis rice lib techs only goy-jiss?)

parry sound

sorry for the inundation. i've none from my seasons in NZ sadly but am loving browsing through all the stuff that's been posted here so far. keep it up

Just realised I never stuck up pics of my time in NZ (thanks for the unintentional reminder La La!)

The life of a liftie! That's my friend who's job I took over when he left. Taxing stuff!

Scary day coming home. That was off the mountain! Four wheels with chains and still sliding all over the gaff!

Bluebird at the Remarks! No pics from The Stash! I will next time! Me jumping the roof or something!

Finally after days of no snow it started! I was happy, as you can see!

Not a bad view from the office eh?! It was heading towards the end of the season at this stage and sad to see that snow line creeping up closer to us every day!

nope, first pic is Coronet, where The Big Easy finishes at the Magic Carpet.

As for Remarks, didn't make it over too often and any day I did, either I wasn't up for it, through injury or the conditions were too crap for the homeward bound.
I was there when I was just getting to what I would consider a "good" and enjoyed the parks, but broke ribs so wasn't able to enjoy it any more!
Didn't hit Wanaka at all!

Andorra 2004 (ish)

The far (cold) side of Font Romeu

Freezing rain and hail start coming down

The last morning - low temperatures, low visibility and high winds, not the best end to the trip

Not really skiing related, but here are some photos of the snow we got last year here in the south of Norway, this was the day we were leaving to go to Saalbach, Austria on a ski holiday. Then when we got to Saalbach the snow conditions weren't great ha!

Take into account in one photo you see me in snow up to my shoulders, im 6ft 2! Damn that was hard work digging out the drive.

Excellent as always.
The blue on Sollereck that goes along by the gondel is great. My g/f really liked it.
I liked the reds too but the long drag lift back up wasn't nice.
We spent 2 days on Fellhorn and 4 on Sollereck. Great weather!!

ah, I'm sure I'd manage it now but I'm usually boarding with a few beginners (no that I'm a pro or anything...) so I stick to the easier slopes. As soon as my g/f gets comfortable carving her way around the place, then we'll venture further afield.

Loving the powder, off piste and tree skiing in Fernie at the moment. Only 5 days through 2 weeks here so far and it has been snowing every day. Would be nice to see the view from the top of the mountain at some point, but loving the "pow" in the mean time.
