FAVORITE SNOWSCAPES
One of my favorite sights ever. This was the start of an all day ski tour on the Valle Blanc glacier Italy with a guide in front and one in back. We skied down into France. Above the clouds wehad this to look at, below the clouds it was snowing. Those distant Peaks are in France.
Winter Wonderland near CORTINA Italy!
This was a CREEK near CORTINA Italy. This frozen beauty was all around town. This was near the old BobSled course that was left from the Olympic games.
WINTER TREE in Black & White !
I called this WINTER TREE in FLORENCE NJ. With the river in the background and the couple inches of fresh snow this tree just jumped out to be captured in Black & White. This tree is Huge. Sadly since taking this shot some of the branches have broken.
POWDER LINES in BIG SKY Montana!
Nobody was Greedy here and the nice peaceful Powder lines confirm that! A beautiful day! More like this in Big Sky Montana.
ANTICIPATION in Created Butte CO.
Poised on the edge and ready to drop in on one of the many steep and beautiful runs near the rabbit hole at crested butte resort in Colorado. Anticipation is what I called this one.
The Snow slabs were over four feet thick. The sun rays were bouncing of the snow. I liked the two oposing angles of the slab and the background mountain. I shot this in Las Lenas Argentina. More shots can be found under the Snowscapes category.
CHAIRLIFT SHADOWS in Steamboat CO.
I love bright sunny days on the bright white snow. This DOUBLE CHAIRLIFT SHADOW is one of my favorite. This captured moment in time can take me back there to this run on the back side of STEAMBOAT Colorado.
Winter Streets of Cortina Italy!
CORTINA STREET SCENE in winter time. Famous for the olympics and the beautiful Dolomites Cortina should be on your list for mountains in ITALY. There are more like this in the ITALY galleries in SNOWSCAPES.
You can seee the final switchbacks making their way up the Andes near Vallee Nevado Chile! I call this Stairway to heaven. More like this under Chile in Snowscapes.
One of the spectacular views that you can see while visiting ASPEN/SNOWMASS. A Chair with a View!
Called Powder Run this was a Great day of Skiing! My wife is center frame in Purple, the other two skiers in Red & Yellow follow and I left the ski tracks on far right. When you wake up to 8 inches of Fresh Powder and you are staying at BIG SKY Resort in Montana you are bound to have a Great Day!
EVERGREEN Beauty in Heavenly CA.
This weathered EVERGREEN in SNOW is a common site on HEAVENLY Mtn in California. Check out CALIFORNIA under SNOWSCAPES. Notice the way that the wind has shaped this tree.
SINGLE POWDER LINE in ARGENTINA!
This single solitary Powder line was run from the top of Las Lenas Argentina. Sadly the lift to the top was closed due to high winds and this Snow remained untouched for a little longer.
The skier in red leads us into the woods for feeshies in Crested Butte Co..
This is one of several keepers that I got in Steamboat Colorado. I stomped out a landing lower down the hill in 3 feet of untracked snow to setup my monopod and camera to capture this famous barn with part of the ski area in the Background. The Snow, Sky, Barn, Rocks, Evergreens and the ski tracks made this shot work for me. A great day in STEAMBOAT on the mountain only got better with getting this late afternoon shot in.
Simply called POWDER LINES this scene was shot at Grand TargHee Wy. This is one of my favorite Powder mountains and our Ski Club has lucked out with Snow conditions on every visit that we have made here. If you think those lines are inviting and that the Powder is Great then believe me when I say that they even get better when you drop in down below those evergreens.
CABIN in the SNOW in the ALPS!
Called CABIN IN THE SNOW this shot was taken in a Snowstorm in the Itallian Alps There is a large mountain as a backdrop to this shot but the mountain is barely visible during the storm. These are some of the scenes that will always stay with me.
The symbol of the Vancouver Winter Olympics was the ONX. This 8 foot tall model made of huge granite blocks and it sits on top of Whistler and is seen in the foreground with portions of Blackcomb and the Canadian Rockies in the background. Whistler-Blackcomb is one of my favorite destinations to ski and to use my Camera.
ITALLIAN side of the Materhorn!
This is the back side of the famous Materhorn mountain. I shot this from the Itallian side at a Ski resort called Cervinia. The other side of this mountain is the famous side (Zermatt Switzerland) Believe it or not this day it snowed and snowed and snowed. Lots of fresh POWDER! The Blue sky openned up for only about 15 minutes in late afternoon and I was able to grab this shot on our last run. Just lucky I guess!
Skier above the CLOUDS WHISTLER BC
The skier in this shot provides some scale to the vastness of this Valley by Whistler BC. We skied in Sun all day until we skied home to the Village that lies below those clouds. More like these are in the WHISTLER/CANADA gallery in the SNOWSCAPES category.
Named STAYING on the EDGE this hotel was truly on the edge with a double diamond 3000 foot mountain right out the back door. Taken at VALLEE NOVADO in CHILE with the ANDES in the Background. The skiing and the people in CHILE will always draw me back to them when its August in New Jersey.
Called Cornices and Powder this scene is one of many that can be seen at SNOBASIN Utah and elsewhere in the Wasatch range in UTAH. Check out the UTAH gallery in SNOWSCAPES.
The sky was dark blue but I think that Black and white gave more clarity to this scene. That's 18 inches of fresh powder you see in front of you.
Called YAMPA RIVER in WINTER this is the Yampa River that flows in and around Steamboat Springs Colorado. The fresh snow collected on the banks and the rocks in the river added to the scene. Winter can be Awesome!
