...earning turns yet again....

She's an English Sheepdog/German Shepard mix. Loves the snow and cold.

How cool is that.  Is there a name for that particular mix?   Whatever it is, it can't be as silly as a "Golden Doodle"...

Nein. Das Deutschlishsheepardhund. Ja.... Unt Voof !

No name for that mix, but she's a great dog, very smart and loves the winter. She struggles when it's over 80 degrees!

Time to take the Hinterland Tales to the next level.

Oh dear.

Sumthin about that... just ain't right.

Well, SBR's trusty old camera has had its day.  A GoPro has so much going for it... Even as still using burst mode it has few rivals.
It's my sons, I've got his blessing to use it as I see fit.  I bought a "head mount" for it today, the whole selfie thing isn't what I have in mind..   The picture quality is amazing.  

This thread gots some serious soul. You guys are rad. Thanks for posting yourselves doing your thing. Looks like a good place to be.

I was thinking you should go to all black and white or papyrus or something.

Hmmmm.  Maybe like this...

Thanks RA.. We may get a ton o' snow, but we're hurting for vert (damn glaciation / ice ages), so we tend to over compensate with our stoke - the right attitude can go a long way ..

Will it take pictures of stuff leaning against, uh,,,,, like other stuff ?

True dat...

TD got a new orange hat. Oh yeah, and his son's GoPro Hero 4:



Neither accoutrement seemed to interfere with his enjoyment of the ski experience:

Awesome. Dig the Fred Flintstone too.


Powtario Rockstar

Well the GoPro deal seems to work best for us in photo mode.  SBR and I toured out to Secret Hill, followed by Bonk Hill.  We took turns wearing the hero4, I ended up with over 400 pics - I set it for 1/2 second intervals, wide format.  I ended up with a dozen good pics.

SBR, stoked, upon realizing he was about to be a hero

...and here he is, lovin' his Chargers!

...a quick camera check as SBR takes his turn wearing it.

...all good to go.

Me, loving the Chargers..

..and the mandatory fist bump at the bottom on the beaver pond..


TD

You haven't seen the chair for a while.



A quick tour in the late afternoon yielded some outstanding results on Bonk Hill.



All is well in Chargerland. Pretty cold though!



Took the new rabbit hole exit.



No GoPro today, traveled solo and old school camera style. Up, up, up.

You guys sure make the most out of a few hundred feet of Vertical.
