Ah, now I see why you never post... your stuff... well... is great. Wish you would post more often. It surely would add more flavor. Superb.

Yet again a very very good set of images.

I can see why you don't post more regularly - you seem to be stuck up a mountain for half the year! :)

Great work.

I never post? :p I post a lot... look I have more then 800 posts :mrgreen: Well I post if I have something at least kinda smart to tell. But I really have not much idea about let's say 80% of stuff going on here (from prices for photoshootings in USA, through Canon vs. Nikon technical specs, to wedding photography :) )
And unfortunately I'm not stuck up in snowy mountains for half of year. Winter unfortunately lasts only about 4 months. But if it would be up to me, we would have winter 12 months a year :mrgreen: I actually like being on snow, especially with skis on, and at least when shooting alpine skiing World cup, I always get ride or two on that slope. :)

Primoz, with a plane ticket in hand... it can be winter year round... if your willing and have the budget. I have always wanted to travel to south america to be part of their winter. Haven't done it yet... someday.

Hmm... that's nice idea. I just need to find budget :) But seriously... I was actually living almost this way when I was still in active xc skiing myself. Snow and skiing from middle of August till end of April :) But now it's just nice memory. It was great, but to be honest, it's not all that bad to be home a bit more and not to be away from home for 200-250 days a year. Even if this means I don't have winter most part of the year anymore :)

WOW, nice stuff man!
