Oops!

If you fall while skiing, you will probably say more than "oops". If you do fall, the ski patrol can get you safely down the mountain in one of their rescue sleds. These two patrolers were practicing their skills.

  1. It is great to have those rescuers around but it is of no never mind to me, as I WON'T go anywhere near an area where the air freezes, of it's own free will.

  4. I'm not crazy about snow sports anymore but it sure has been fun looking at all your ski shots. Another good one!

  5. Hey, Barb. I was on a chairlift shooting down here...and I just recently bought a little shockproof, waterproof, cold-proof cam for outings just like this! Thankfully, I didn't have to test the shockproofedness OR the ski patrol skills at all! Phew!

  14. I remember saying 'oops' many times the only time I ever skied. Except I believe my 'oops' started with a 'h'!

  17. That would be me riding on that sled - and are those moguls I'm seeing? Very nice with the contours in the snow and the position of the ski patrollers.
