Slalom Practice

Here is one more training photo that I took on Tuesday. Even though I didn't make it to see any of the Snowboard World Cup events, our local friendly photographer Merrick Chase of Telluride Photography sure did. Check out all of his shots at Album 1 and Album 2.

The Telluride Snowboard World Cup will air on NBC on Sunday, December 26 at 3:00 p.m. EST.

Action Shots

I haven't been able to make it up to watch any of the Snowboard World Cup events due to working and other commitments, so I'm sharing more of the photos I took on Tuesday when they were all training.

Training Day

Telluride 2010 Snowboard World Cup

The Snowboard World Cup begins today! I was able to get some photos during Tuesday's training day.

December Morning

Mom's Tree

My mom always has her tree up by Thanksgiving. We had our Christmas celebration at my parents' house the day after Thanksgiving since we won't be back in Oklahoma for Christmas. Today is my parents' 41st Anniversary! Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!

Trimming the Tree

This has to be the latest I have ever gotten my tree decorated. December has been a busy month so far!

Mountain Home

Just a modest cabin.

Snow Coach

I think this must be the snow coach that the ski resort will be using to take diners up to Alpino Vino at 11,966 feet for dinner this winter.

Warm Up Run

Majestic

Name That Mountain

If you have visited my blog very many times you know that I take lots of photos of Wilson Peak. That prominent pointed peak is Wilson Peak, often mistakenly called Mt. Wilson. Mt. Wilson is over there on the left kind of blended in with El Diente Peak. I took this while skiing down See Forever.

Crazy Snow Making

Snow making is going full blast on Misty Maiden in preparation for the Snowboard World Cup beginning December 15.

King of the Mountain

The Colorado State Animal is the Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep. Every time we travel on state highway 114 just east of Gunnison we get to see them!

Theme Day: Time

The City Daily Photo December Theme Day is "Time." I love the Telluride Times clock on Main Street.
