My ski season came to a premature end, due to a broken hand suffered playing basketball.
Maybe I am getting too old for contact sports...
Anyway, I decided to post a few photos and videos from this past winter. Mostly because I wanted to learn how to embed videos from youtube into my blog. Blogger gives you a 100 mb max for videos, which is somewhat restrictive. So I opened a youtube account to see how this works.
My ski buddies were Nihat (my Turkish coworker and fellow expat amigo) and Tano, Nihat's quasi-cousin and all around fun dude to hang around with. I'm not even sure what his real name is, but his nickname is Tano.
goofing around...amatuer Warren Miller.
Why am I skiing with 2 sets of poles?
So Tano can take pictures...dude takes a lot of pictures
Lunch time: burgers, fries and empanadas. Disneyland prices.
Nihat and I
This place is called Tres Puntas, because you can see three peaks from there. Right behind me (almost spitting distance) is El Plomo, 18,000 feet. If you look closely you can see the glacier on the front side. I am planning to hike it this summer...should make for a good blog entry.

anyway, your amateur ski video is awesome. your friend glides effortlessly across the snow and I KNOW skiing is not that easy. and i love the shots of your own skiis...made me feel i was there.
