Shot Sharing: Colorado Sunrise

This past weekend I got to visit Colorado

(surprise, surprise)

I snapped these shots on the way to Winter Park Friday morning,

had to share this gorgeous mountain sunrise.

.

I also have to say how much I enjoyed myself at Winter Park.

The snow was absolutely amazing ... PERFECT conditions on Friday

so I decided to take out some demos.

First, I took out the 2012 Rossignol S7s.

I have been resisting the s7 hype, because quite frankly I can't stand to look at them.

The women's version is just ...

"not my cup of tea" to say the least.

Well, fret not if you share my views ... the men's version is exactly like the women's!

Same ski! So I took it out. It handled really well.

Turned well. Floated well. Good all around ski, 

though I still like the 2013 Icelantic Oracle and 2013 4Frnt Aretha better.

I also got to demo 2012 K2 Missdemeanors!

K2 Missdemeanors are in the K2 Park Ski line, but I was so pleasantly surprised at how well they held up all mountain.

I also think the top sheet is gorgeous.

They turned effortlessly and handled in the moguls. 

The floated decently on the powder 

and were extremely stable in crud. I was a big fan. 

(And no, this message isn't sponsored ... I wish haha)

Anyways, while I'm in the park mood,

flash back to xGames ... where everyone is in the park mood :)

The magic of photoshop

I'm a photojournalism major.

this means I am pretty sensitive when it comes to photoshop.

I'm not saying I don't shop pictures, sometimes I have a lot of fun,

but I have also gained an appreciation for the raw image. 

This is one of those instances:

Aspen, Colorado

Sunset

this photo has not been shopped at all. no color enhancing. not even levels.

feel free to ooh and awhh

and plan your new trip to Aspen.
