11/4 Photo Finalists

Sandbox390 looks great, but why is the rider so pixelated where the rest of the shot is sharp?   Photoshop?

im guessin its interlaced.. wasnt it supposed to be a riding photo? why is dcdomain in it then....

i love to stand at the peak of the mountain like that

dang no love for me. 

Awesome!  Yeah, that is definitely a real photo of me.  Still one of the most memorable days I have had.  I'd love to win a board, daddy needs a new resort board.  DC's picture is pretty freakin' spectacular too though.  No doubt.  Nice shots all the way around guys!

I was torn between DC and Killclimbz.  Picked the latter because of the Rocky motif and the fact that it's a bit more unique.

captain morgan pose, HOLLA!

Ok folks, keeping in the spirit of spicing up the giveaways again, here's your task for tomorrow!

Directions:
- Post up your best shot of yourself riding!  Start digging deep through your old photo albums and computer folders and bring them back from the dead.

- Post your photos (as many as you can find!) by 3PM tomorrow.  At 3 we will close the thread, select our top favorites and create a new thread to vote on them. 

- The poll thread will be posted after determining the staff's favorites and will have voting open until Wednesday at 3PM PST.  The winner of the poll will in turn win a free snowboard!  WHAT?!

- Aaaannnnnd GO!

Meh.  Clearly no one who voted for DC cares and neither do the people running the contest.

Thanks kimchi, see if I take you to some sick back country spots when you are in Colorado! j/k dude, we should definitely hook up (and ride some bc if you want)when you come out here.

i dont think this is the best idea cause someone could just make a ton of acounts, cause it only takes like a minute, then vote for themselves...

you say rocky, I'll say mountains.

No it means my brains are addled and I can't tell my lefts from my rights, or my formers from my latters.  And also that I can't edit my posts.  Fail.

Ok, who's the douchebag?  I'm the douchebag!!!

Hahaha, I totally misread that.  Failboat killclimbz has set sail!

Hatemongering aside, that'd be rad.  I don't know how much time I'll be out in CO this year, but Denver's only an hour and a half flight from Minneapolis, so I'll probably be making trips out in coming years.  I might move out there after school, so it'd be fun to scope out the city and the area.

Originally posted by CLEE1013 this has to be recounted for description said riding photos yet there are 2 none riding photos to final??? dont get me wrong i love the DC picture, its just that its not a piture of him self riding..

Originally posted by killclimbz Oh man, you didn't get in on the half off flights from Southwest?  They are definitely the way to fly for boarders.  No baggage fees and such.  Let me know when you come out, we can get after it when ever.  If not this year, I'm sure there will be snow next year too.

Originally posted by dcdomain But the one that catches my eye is the one Caffeine posted of his friend, is that also a video still? http://i33.tinypic.com/2mriflx.png

Nope man, it is a photo! Maybe since I edited it a bit it looks like a video still.

Anyways good luck nice job. Hopefully I'll have a chance at winning a future interactive contest ; P

If you are doing the Keystone cat, you are basically accessing inbounds terrain.  So don't fret over it.  I haven't done that cat at Keystone so I don't know the particulars.  I suspect they take you to a point and let you hoof it to where ever you want from there.  So it'll be up to you to choose the lines.  Keystone does not have a lot in the way of steeps, so you should be fine.  I'd look for the spots on the ride up that look like they are getting the least amount of attention, and head for them.  I believe you can also hike to the same terrain the cat takes you to.  Red Mountain Inn in Silverthorne is a great place to grab a drink and some food at the end of the day.

aww i didnt get any love either i thought i had good pics haha.

I voted for killclimbz
