It was an eye opener for them, in one of the shots you can see a ski area, that's Wildcat Ski Area on the other side of Pinkham Notch. They have been there skiing in winter, and it's a pretty steep set of slopes, good double black diamond trails. Still, looking DOWN on it made it seem less of a challenge. They said something like, "that can't be Wildcat, Wildcat's tough, are you sure." Perspective.

As for the pictures, I was not very pleased with the quality, but, between the wind, rain, sleet, clouds etc, it was kinda hard to get a Kodak moment captured. When we were taking the pictures at the summit, on a couple shots the auto flash fired because being in the clouds had made it dark enough. I had several shots where I knew that I was shaking as much as the boys I was trying to photograph. Anyone have good tips on getting decent photos when under poor conditions? (Seems like I'm in them enough, if I endure the weather, might as well learn how to get them for posterity I have to be able to show my son what I put up with to get him out there.)
