Too bad you couldn't have been sitting in the "Rock Pond" watching the show. Makes for a really great evening. Great photos too!
Were you using a digital camera? Most don't take good photos like that.

Yeah the pond closes at midnight. But there was quite alot of steam off the hot water so the lights may have been less visible. I was using a Nikon D200 and Sweden was using a Nikon D70. She got as many great shots or more as I did.

I'll answer for him, Chris, as he had better be working on his laundry...I retrieve him tomorrow night from the airport. Then he'll be returning to the slopes on Wednesday.
I have some images of the successful hunt that they sent on, but they are a bit gory and I wouldn't wish to offend those with sensitive constitutions. I am supposed to receive more 'aesthetically pleasing' images soon.

I thought the outfitters cleaned his clothes for him.  The thought of him beating them against a rock in an icy stream is just too much to contemplate.
