Colorado backcountry skiing.

Louie and I rigged up his BD Megawatt setup a few days ago with DynaDuke plates, FT-12 and-or Marker Tour. He's on the Dynafits in this shot, launching out of some fluff. Click image to enlarge.

My obligatory scenic shot. This guy from another group just happened by as I clicked the camera. Click to enlarge.

Still using my Canon A720 camera, do these things ever die?
