    Wow, that's some air they're getting there! Nicely done. I love the expression on that last one.

    Very nice work. Shot #1 is great - nice expression, nice spray of snow, and good sharpness. Well done!

    Exposure is excellent. It's tough not to blow out the snow.

    For some reason the movie Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase and his sledding event are coming to mind.

    Find More Toboggan and Sled Hills in your area.
    Awesome shot!

    That's what I call "big air". :)

    I would love to know the exact location of the hill you guys went to. If you could kindly add it to the map at TobogganHills.com, it would be great for others to locate and enjoy as well. :)

    You can share your cool photo's there too.


    Thanks!

    Hey, go over to the Challenges forum -- the Mini challenge is "Flight in Sports." That first shot would fit perfectly. For mini challenges, the rules are pretty loose, so you can enter a shot no matter when you took it. They'd probably love to see it over there!
    The goal of my photography is is the effective, original communication of a feeling expressing truth, beauty, or love.
