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.
POWDER on the ROOF in GRAND TARGHEE!
Grand Targhee (about 1 hour from Jackson Wy.) gets a lot of snow. I mean a lot of snow. Light puffy snow.
The run may be called ANARCHY but with the blue sky and new snow it was pretty peaceful! This was a springtime trip to Killington Vt. and the Mountain was about 90% open. More pics of Killington can be found in the Snowscapes category
This is shot from the top of the mens downhill course in Snowbasin UT. Check out the vast Mountain range in fromt of you.
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!
One of my favorite runs. Two Snowboarders beat us in to this drop in but one you dropped in there was plenty to go around for all. This is a good day on the slopes. Check out the Canadian Rockies in the far distance. This was shot at Whistler Blackcomb BC.
Mary's Nipple via GRAND TARGHEE
At Grand targhee in Wyoming once you go up and ski to skiers right you are greeted by this sight. The pointy mountain is called mary's nipple which is a famous area that used to be cat skiing that is now possible to do with a lift ticket. The snow at Targhee is to me like Alta UT. You have to get here and I hope its a sunny Powder day for you.
Mountain Reflections in SWITZERLAND.
This sight was only visible like this from a ski trail and only in the late afternoon. This one had everthing for me. Snow, mountains, Valleys, Lakes and Blue sky. It took me 3 tries on 3 days to get this shot and by the next day the snow came and the green would be gone. There are more shots of Switzerland under the main Snowscapes category.
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.
POWDER COUNTRY in POWDER Mtn UTAH
At Powder Mountain in Utah they have a Great setup for POWDER Skiing. You ski out one side of the Mountain and come out at a road that provides a quick Bus ride back to the Mountain. Powder mountain gave us a full day of Fresh turns in an unspoiled and unpretentious mountain. I would compare the attitude of this Mountain to A Basin in Colorado as to how the Base lodge and Lifts are operated. Lets Hope it Stays this way!
PINK SKY & CHAIRLIFTS before Dawn!
I shot this shortly before Dawn. It was crisp and clear and the Pink Sky and the lights on the lift towers brought this picture to life. There are more Las Lenas shots under the SNOWSCAPE category.
Big Sky Lone Peak Some of the biggest, baddest, steepest terrain exists all along the ridges. Check out the wind on top building up that cornice even more!l
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.
Called Moose on the Loose this is one of many sites to be seen at Jackson Hole Wy. The Skiing is the reason to come here and the wildlife scenery is a bonus!
The TOP of Las Lenas in Argentina!
These Pyramid Peaks are located in LAS LENAS. Note they differ in rock color than the ANDES in CHILE yet the black rock on the other ridges in LAS LENAS are quite similar to the ANDES in CHILE. These Tan colored peaks resembled some I saw in Italy.
This is the neighborhood that we were taken to get some knee-deep powder turns. Heliskiing was just being introduced to Vallee nevado when we went to Chile. The skiing was Great. A day to remember!
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!
FROSTED ASPENS in STEAMBOAT CO.
These FROSTED ASPENS in Steamboat Co are some of my favorite frosting shots. These really lit up with the late afternoon sun. The bump run was fun, The scenery? You be the judge. Also seen in the STEAMBOAT gallery under Colorado/SNOWSCAPES.
MIRROR Lake in Winter Lake Placid NY
The sun was setting in downtown LAKE PLACID in NY. The shadows spilled across Mirror lake. Check out the mountains in the background.
Full Moon over Engelberg SWITZERLAND.
The moon and the mountain. I shot this with a tripod to try and capture this beautiful full moon at early evening. This was shot in Engelberg Switzerland.
Black Tusk at Dusk Whistler-Blackcomb.
This is the famous Black Tusk Mtn. Looking across from Seventh Heaven at Whistler Blackcomb near Dusk. More like this in Whistler under the Snowscapes Category. I could call this TUSK at DUSK!
