I know I have put this up before somewhere, but I was sorting through old pictures.

Nice photo Steve. Where was that taken?
Another pic from my iPhone. Sunshine ski resort. Top of the Gread Divide quad, 9,000ft elevation.

At Silverstone last summer.
Its into Club corner
Few snapshots from my recent trip to the Alps for a solid week of skiing.

https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7696/...87340fef_b.jpgIMG_1976 by Jan Yeo, on Flickr - Pefect balcony to sit on after a hard day on the slopes, beer in hand and soaking up a few rays. As long as you were out the wind it was warm enough to lounge about in shorts and a long sleeve top (which wasn't a great help with the snow cover though)
None of them particularly brilliant in terms of shot as I took them on an iPhone and in a bit of a rush (always keen to get going when I'm skiing. Particularly chuffed with getting to ski above the clouds, especially with Mont Blanc as a backdrop , the photos don't even come close to doing it justice, truly breathtaking.
As an aside, any theories on what the hell this is https://flic.kr/p/rXY5t3 and why it's making that noise?
In my desperation to see some cars on track before the start of the motorsport season I popped down to Lydden Hill a couple of weeks ago for a drift track day. Couple of my fave shots from the day:

Ugh. I feel jealous Jan. We've had a miserable skiing season here lately, with really poor conditions.
Below is a pic the missus took with her crappy iPhone 4 recently at Panorama Mountain in British Columbia (the speck in the lower left is me). Don't let the white snow in the pic fool you. It was hard as concrete and not very pleasant to ski on :mark: .

You're not the only ones, France has had a pretty bad season too, last year I went to the same resort in the same week (end of March) and the snow line was a hell of a lot lower. Don't get me wrong, La Plagne was good as long as you hit the right area at the right time, but get the timing wrong and you're on ice or slush (depending where the sun was). Not great for a beginner like me as you're always second guessing the surface that you're on. Ultimately though I was just happy to be under blue skies with snow beneath my skis, it's not that often that I get the chance and I'm still pretty new to it.Quote:

The reason I missed the Chinese GP today :p
