Some documentation of a couple trips out west!

These are a couple galleries from a pair of trips out west. Hopefully in the coming year I'll have another to add! But I make no guarantees! (It's usually too much fun to be lugging around camera equipment!... hense nothing from my Alberta trip!) And just in case you didn't know... sliding on snow is fun!

ENJOY! And please drop me a line and let me know what you think of these pics! (or just let me know you are out there)

Snowboarding
New Hampshire Snowboard Trip - February 2004

little known facts from me:
1) never underestimate the importance of a proper showerhead.
2) always bring a sewing kit on snowboarding trip.
3) snowboard boots EAT leg hair!
4) live free or die
5) east coast snow is OK... but UTAH OH-FIVE Baby!

little known fact from the saginator:
senior rizzio is an obsessive planner. some would say a maniac. a plan-i-ac. there was frenzy for weeks before the trip. over gear. and garb. and maps. (oh my god the maps!) every night of the week before the trip was designated for packing... and yet nothing got packed until the night before. oh the irony. (irony is fodder for poking fun, however. so it all works out.)

FinalBoarding Wyoming Snowboard Trip - March 2002
    Here you will find pics from my trip to the Jackson Hole and Grand Targee Mountain resorts in Wyoming. I went on the trip with about 13 other maniacs on the pursuit of powder... and the snow gods blessed us by the 3rd day! Jammin on the ONE!
    I realize there aren't many pics here... but I was busy RIDING! Hopefully I'll be getting some more from the other folks on the trip... it seemed that digital cameras were quite popular this year!?

**Please note: I started to recieve some photos from other folks. The first 17 pics were taken by me, and all the others after 17 were taken by whoever is credited at the bottom left corner or in the filename.
Thanks for the contributions!

Snowboarding in Utah
    These are about a dozen or so pictures I snapped while in Utah in 1997. I was visiting my friends Fernando and Clive; who picked up and moved to Utah for the snowboarding season! Needless to say, it was difficult to stop riding and snap pictures... they showed me plenty of powder and backhill terrain to distract me from my shutterbug tendencies.
    My first couple of days were spent acclimating my legs to riding in 60cm of fresh powder on Brighton Mountain! But most of these shots are of a day of backhilling on a peak called the gulch in little Cottonwood Canyon. We also hiked a peak that was simply named 10,420. (I believe it had no official name, and that number represents it's sea-level elevation)
    The pictures are a bit far from the subjects, this is mainly due to the inexperience I had with my then-brand-new 20mm wide-angle lens... I never seemed to be able to get close enough to the action with that super-wide lens! But it proved very useful in capturing the majestic views of the Wasatch Mountains.
