      We had some snow recently in Dallas, not much but hey this is Texas.

      My dog loved it so much he even sniffed it like it was Cocaine:

      Then he signed his name in the snow like we all do, sure it may not look like much, but at least it's more legible than a doctors handwriting.

          One of my dogs loves to do that, we call him "Pissasso" because he always signs his work.

                  Yeah I have seen that amazing video but worth another watch!! I have a full HD video of my flight but it needs editing, was the best experience of my life by far. When I flew over the summit it felt like a scene from Cliffhanger! The scale is beyond comprehension. Hey Sepo I was there at the exact same time, we maybe bumped into each other and didn't realise! I was staying at the ambassador near the train station and I'll be there again end of march to early april this year, if you fancy a heli ski. πŸ˜‰ over 13 miles of continuous skiing!!

                      Hey Oli, a good friend of mine owns a heliski operation about 40 minutes from where I live.

                      Just outrageous terrain and powder! (speaking of snow, this is him on a run)

                        It was quite possible that we were in the same place....btw off piste is on the Cervinia side or Zermatt side?

                          Off piste Zermatt side. Price includes a Swiss guide for the day. We couldn't do it last time because of the avalanches, so we just did the matterhorn fly-over and dropped off around kleine. I will upload some more pics of the journey, it was just heaven.

                          Dale, your friend's job is so amazing, I pretty much hate him πŸ˜† πŸ˜† πŸ˜† Thanks, always looking to broaden my horizon further than europe.

                              This is where I ski every week. 20 minutes drive from my office. Not the alps, but pretty amazing open boundary ski area!

                                            Thanks Pete. That is a 30 second exposure at f2.8 and ISO 1600. It was dark enough that I could not see much through the view finder and had to bracket the focus to get a sharp image. Normally even light breeze action on an exposure that long will blur the photo, but it was one of those soft windless snow falls and branch movement was damped by the weight of the snow.
