    Good shots, John. Now that is certainly frosty . . .I like the view of the reflection in your glasses. You look like a character out of Beowulf, minus the glasses.
    Great stuff

    Cool stuff, John. Was this at Alta again? I might be heading up to SLC area for ski trip in March. Not sure yet.

    Yeah, it's Alta. I have an Alta pass so that's where I'll be spending most of my ski time. Let me know when you're coming and maybe we can have a little ski photo gathering :-)

    That would be cool. A buddy of mine is doing this for his bachelor party. I never thought I'd be going to Utah for a bachelor party. As soon as he makes up his mind where he wants to go, I'll let you know.

    I like that mountain shot PJ We may have some of those this weekend too, they just changed us to get hit by 6-12 or 12-18 inches of snow....I'm on the line. I'd rather shoot this scene though.... snow on flat farmland just doesn't do compared to this!

    Not enough snow and mountains in Ireland. We look for lakes with slopes.

    I'm home now for the break, and all the storms have either been south of us in Utah or north in Montana. Can't believe I'm saying this, but I can't wait to get back to school. Oh ya, great shots by the way.

    I'm glad I get to see the snow through your great shots, cause I don't think I'll ever set foot in that stuff on purpose again. Too cold, but very cool shots.

    John,

    I wish I was up there with you - looks terrific.

    I really like the self portrait.

    Re: Cold At The Office Today

    Hey John (or MTBBrian), where are some good places up near Alta to shoot at? I'll be in Lehi all next week, but I'd like to travel up 80 to the resort areas and get some landscape shots to put up in my apartment.

    Hopefully they'll be spots that don't involve too much hiking. I'm a beach boy and temps under 40 make me cringe

    Anywhere

    The landscape is so dramatic right now, you can find good photos almost anywhere. There's a park and ride parking lot at the bottom of Little Cottonwood that has great views of the steep cliffs at the mouth of the canyon. And the parking lot at Alta has 360-degree views of awesomeness. This picture was taken yesterday (EOS 40D) at about noon, from the parking lot.
