Skiing 2

2007.03.20
New try

Look hopeful

Broken ski lift


Trying to mend it

Seats piling up

Hard work

Perfect snow

Finding the right angle for a good photograph

watching skiers go past

enjoying a good fall


trying to avoid beeing hit




that&#39s not so good ! I felt sorry for the man


A broken leg, I hope he is feeling better

I got up early, put you and my camera in my rucksack and
took the first telecabine right to the top.

The easiest ski slope was closed, they were mending the
skilift so I skied slowly down, two sticks in one hand, my camera
in the other hand.

A skier collapsed on my feet, I had to tease him and took a picture,
he didn't like it...no sense of humour !...

It didn't finish too well for some others, the last one was
taken away by helicopter

demitri wow, so much fun! there's a pic that i like the most; a snowboarder fell on the snow with his sunglasses flew off, really love it!

carmitage Leap, you would have to exchange your palms for skis
And your shorts for long jones
May be a warm hat would be adequate !
Welcome Leap to my world !

carmitage Thank you all for your comments. I had a lot of fun taking these
pictures, for once I had a lot of success, everybody was falling on my feet !

jjimson yes those sunglasses in flight shot is very nice shot! I also like #5 as it give a great sense of size.

aggiechristine Wonderful series. I feel like I experienced your adventures with you. Beautiful mountains and your action shots are superb! (Hee - love the capture of the skier without a sense of humor!)

LisetteT Il me faudrait un certain courage pour monter dans ces trucs.
Excellent série.
Belle journée de ski. :)

iustinium I was wondering when I'll see images of snow :) on your blog.
Makes me really want to come to Switzerland ~>_<~. Over here, we are just getting the cold, it snowed a bit today, but nothing settled though.

Oh, I really really like your avatar!!
iustinium · 2007-03-20: 17:40
carmitage Paul for your tease, when will you show yourself in kilt ?...
carmitage · 2007-03-20: 18:12
carmitage Lisette, tu n'as pas le temps d'avoir peur, il y a tellement de monde autour
de toi que tu ne vois rien !
carmitage · 2007-03-20: 18:13
carmitage t24th, I started skiing very young, I am tough but occasionnally I do one
very spectacular fall which frighthens me to death ! If I have a camera
in my hands I behave.

Justinium, I am surprised I haven't see you up there yet ! May be next year !

Thank you my friends for your comments and encouragements

photopoet What an experience. These are spectacular and dangerous for some folks.
photopoet · 2007-03-20: 21:14
Genevieve I love the second photo...slipping in and out of the clouds...
Genevieve · 2007-03-20: 22:11
Jannie This is an exceptional series!! Really captures the whole skiing experience. I can just picture you (so to speak) tramping around the ski lift tower with your camera. Too funny (hey, what the heck is she taking pictures of Martha??) Absolutely love the first 2, as well as 7, 8 & 10.

My favorite part of skiing is the scenery. You have captured it remarkably!!! Would love to know where this is.
Jannie · 2007-03-21: 00:33
captingeye fantastic set;)
captingeye · 2007-03-21: 08:31

chipotle · 2007-03-21: 17:24
