My Happy Place

As anyone who's read my blog on a regular basis knows, I'm crazy about skiing.  It's hands-down my most favorite activity.  During the winter I average two days a week up on the slopes.  Not bad for someone who holds a full-time job!

I also love taking photographs.  However, I rarely get any shots of myself skiing (always the photographer, never the subject).  Luckily, Mt. Hood Meadows has a professional photographer, Grant Myrdal, on site.  He can be found most days perched slopeside, shooting images of snow-riders.  When I want some photos of myself making turns, Grant's my go-to guy.


Size matters!  Click on any photo to enjoy a larger version.

Enlarge this photo and you'll see a sun star reflection on my helmet!

I recently purchased a set of images that Grant shot on one of the many sunny days we've been having on Hood.  I love this photo series.

 Not only can I critique my skiing form, these shots in particular capture me at my happiest times.  I can tell from the expressions on my face, these are moments of sheer bliss.

 Yep, this is me in my happy place.  Thanks, Grant, for taking these awesome shots!
