A link to some more pictures from Georgia

If you want to see a big collection of pictures from skiing in the Republic of Georgia over break, check here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10153199056356944.1073741846.613416943&type=1&l=b00c452719

I must admit, however, that I am not the best when it comes to taking pictures when I am skiing. I really love the snow; however, I don't always love the way pictures of it turn out, especially in tricky visibility... and when I have non-human forms of uphill transportation, I sometimes get a little too stoked on lapping. The up is the easiest time to take pix, unless you use gopro or something. And though I own a gopro and all sorts of weird doodads to go with, I am not entirely stoked on the system. I'll let the others flail around with cameras on sticks while I ski, thanks very much.  Give me someone else whose skiing style I know well and whose turns I can predict, however, and I'll happily shoot. Shooting while skiing needs to be part of a synchronized plan, and on a partly solo mission to Georgia, it didn't quite fit in sync.

Final Post: Back from Republic of Georgia

After a day and change in Tbilisi, some hectic travel as usual and missed connection, a nice long bus ride, and a seemingly very long walk home, I am back in my co-op in Williamstown.
Its almost colder here than it was anywhere in Georgia, though I can't quite call Georgia a warm spring break destination.
