Blizzard in Arizona

The biggest snowstorm of the year happened across Flagstaff while I was preparing for a trip to Alaska.   It seemed fit that I get prepared for the winter experience I was soon heading to.

I threw my skis, skins, and boots in to the back of the jeep and drove up to the Arizona Snowbowl.   Rather than getting on the lift I wandered into the forest, skinning up the mountain side.   The wind was strong and roared through the forest with the sound of an avalanche.

I shot this photo with my Droid Incredible phone.   There are a number of camera plug-ins that I’ve been having fun playing with.   This one was taken with the Camera 360 application.

It was snowing so hard that I couldn’t keep the phone dry or out of the snow, so the amount of photos I could shoot was hampered.   Skiing back down was blinding, even alongside the trees.
