Michelle Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Bomber got it's first taste of winter today as the snow is coming down in full force. The cars are getting covered, and we can hardly see outside of the parking lot. We are expected to get up to 8 inches by tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy D Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Originally posted by NMU Alpine Boarder NO FAIR!!!!!!!!! I still have at least a month before I see my first snow... Yah!

Mellow Yellow Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 I'll be lucky to ever see snow..... :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted September 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 It's really coming down now. I will put up another photo in an hour before I leave work, just to make you guys drool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted September 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 That's on a normal day, this day is special! Fin knew it would snow today, so he banned the "frivolous activities" in the office. Last Thursday was the day for "extrcurricular activities" that included getting out of the office on the most beautiful day ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boostertwo Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Here's one taken this morning (Wed 9/22) outside of Leadville, CO. Mts. Missouri, La Plata, Elbert, and Massive--some of the highest peaks in the Rockies. Sorry about the extra wide image. I thought the vista warranted it. <img src="http://tinypic.com/5y5mv"> Hope it's snowing where you are! B-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffV Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Please Michelle stop the torture you're killing us:confused: Us Ice Coast guys wouldn't see snow for at least an other 2 months. Man I should have moved to CO when I had the chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted September 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 I think I have inflicted enough torture. The last one was not me, although Leadville is about 20 minutes from where I live. What a great shot! Oh wait, it's snowing again here...... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedzilla Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 boostertwo, what type of camera was used on that shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostertwo Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 ..likely the mountains and the snow (coupled with your stoke) that make the image look good, not the camera--and certainly not the lensman. <img src="http://tinypic.com/5y7p5"> Camera is a Sony TRV 900 digital video camera--the same one I use on the hill to grab images of riders. Spliced the footage together on my PC to create the panorama. While the snow won't last in the valleys, it certainly is a harbinger of good things to come!

Speedzilla Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Well, nice job on the splicing. I thought you may have used a special 360 degree camera or something. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NS Racer Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 The only images I get on this page are the ones from booster two. It won't show the others. It's obviously a setting problem. Can someone help me out so I can drool too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Gendzwill Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Click the "user cp" button on top right, and edit your options. There's one that allows/disallows viewing of attached images. I think boostertwo is putting a link in his post, everyone else is just attaching the images.

Slim Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Originally posted by NS Racer The only images I get on this page are the ones from booster two. You could do worse. Booster posts some kickass images. Thanks all for the preview of coming attractions. All of 'em got me stoked for the coming season--but we still have a bunch of autumn to go before it finally snows here. Makes me want to relocate someplace higher.

Guest NS Racer Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 I Live in Atlantic Canada and I'm looking out my window at my Thermometer that says 19 degrees C ( 68 F) I'm still mowing my lawn how gross is that!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NS Racer Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Our race season didn't start last year until February. I need to move to the rocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted September 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 I heard that 2 days ago they started making snow at A-Basin, and there is a possibility that either Loveland or A-Basin will open in a few weeks. Crazy! Our race season didn't start last year until February. That's nuts! We've had at the very least 2 1/2 months by then! Of course, we only had about 2 1/2 months of summer.... no wonder people put their sunglasses on when we put on shorts the first time in the summer!
