MOUNT aineer


I take it the one in yellow is named "Mount" and the one in black (with tongue hanging from mouth) his "Aineer"?

Neat topic.

Here's some taken from my yard.

An approaching storm over the nearest neighbor's house:

A typical winter view of the road:

When snow geese migrate during a flood:

A view to the southwest:

A typical winter-time scene:

And finally, the classic cliche--the view at night:

I am sure we are all jealous of Chief's pictures and lifestyle but I also like Boruts and Barrys views. JamesW views of Mount Begbie from Revelstoke are good as well.

Here is a high res interactive panorama of the mountain view from Calgary(not mine but I like it).

It is on a slow server so the annotations -mountain labels take a while to load so be patient as you zoom in as it gives you more detail if you wait. A toggle in the lower right gives full screen.
Thirty minutes to one hour gets me to the base of most of these. Enjoy.

I love the Sierra but it does not stack up to the Rockies or Selkirks. It is a great place to visit, but live? no thanks.

Gloat on Chief! You can have your sub-freezing snow shovelin' winter wonderland 6 outa the year. I'll take the mellow Coast Range scene and bust my ass 6 hrs 3-4 days a week to get up there at my leisure as much as I want when I don't hafta keep my waterbottle in my sleeping bag. :lol:
