NYSkiBlog Winter Header Photo

Looking for a new header photo to use for the top of NYSB this winter.  

You may remember this image from the last two seasons. It's been reduced to fit here:



Not the most exciting image, but it has some critical elements:

It works as a wide slice.
It has a simple background in the center top so that the site title can be easily read.
It's taken in winter, from a mountain in NY.

But maybe it's time for a change.

Do you have any high-res shots that would work at around 1000px wide (min) and 200 or 250 px tall?

Send me your best or post em below.  If there is something out there - taken in NY in winter that beats the shot above send it to me at my email addy below.

If we use your image we'll send you a copy of NELSAP's Lost Ski Areas of the Southern Adirondacks and one of Miker's awesome nysb diecuts.

Even though it might work, the image below does not qualify because it is VT, not NY. I thought I would post it anyway because, a) it is a cool shot, b) it was taken by Harv himself, c) it was taken during one of the best EC ski days EVER and, d) I am the skier.

I know it's a little specific, but ...

atop Santanoni

i like skimore's photo from santanoni

marcy from santanoni

colden and marcy

better look at marcy

I like Skimore's top image the best of his because it's got some nice color and would work visually with the header type.  Thought a lot about using Whiteface images. WF is just so photogenic for a lift served mountain. That said, we're using WF for our Twitter avatar and background and would like to spread it around. (Using a shot from Hunter for Facebook cover photo.  Hope to see more images/suggestions.

No argument from me ... that first shot of Skimore's is great.

I was actually trying to find a shot I have from the top of Whiteface ... an "Islands in the Stream" kind of shot with the high peaks poking through a thick cloud deck and a bluebird sky in the background, but I can't seem to find it.

It's one of my favorite pictures I've taken in the Adirondacks ... if I find it, I'll post it.

I like either of skimores that have mt marcy in them

what is unique about NY's mountains compared to the green mt state is that we have above tree line mountains and his first shot is nice but it does not show this like the other two photos he posted

You don't think the two above treeline pistes (camel's hump and mansfield) in the champlagne powder state would make a good header for the blog???

Hey the East Coast had Champlain Powder before there was ever a resort in Utah! Champagne by butt, they do get a lot of Miller Light out there though.

btw: I would never seriously advocate for a VT header on the blog, that'd be a real head scratcher.

Still diggin ^^that first one skimore posted. But just not sure.  One thing I like about the original I used last year ... like to use WHITE type in the winter header, so darker photos are cool.  Nothins easy huh.  ;)

TEST:


(the type would be a little less horsey)

Skidmore' s first.   Its classic NY in my memory of ny

No offense to skimore.     Was not implying skidding occurs.     But sometimes that's necessary. :)
