View from the lip of the Bowl
|
Prelude: view out the airplane window somewhere over the U.S.A. |
|
A view from low on the trail. I wonder if that's Mt Wilson in the distance? |
|
A hiker coming up the trail. |
|
A skier with his dog hiking up the same way. |
|
A view of the Bowl from below. The ski hut is visible at right. |
|
A view down into the Bowl from part way up. Note the hikers on the trail at left, and the man glissading at center. |
|
The glissader walking over the flatter area at the bottom of the Bowl. |
|
A view ahead, showing the usual "conga line" of climbers heading up. |
|
This shot allows a better appreciation of the slope. |
|
A climber coming up below me. |
|
Same climber, zoomed in. |
|
A skier on his way down. |
|
Looking smooth... |
|
with plenty of deep snow. |
|
Another skier. |
|
Skier followed by snowboarder. |
|
Skier making a turn. |
|
One more shot of the skier. |
|
Now here comes the snowboarder. |
|
Carving nicely. |
|
Coming in for a close-up... |
|
...then moving on down the slope. |
|
This was the view from the lip of the Bowl. |
|
|
Another view from the same spot. |
|
Looking back at the lip, on the way to the summit. |
|
A hiker on the final slope. (Same guy as in image #3.) |
|
Two more hikers coming up from Mt Harwood. |
|
West Baldy. |
|
Some fine views northward. |
|
And eastward. |
|
And southwestward. |
|
I went down the west side of the bowl; here's a shot back into the bowl. |
|
I started my glissade here. |
|
A Steller's Jay. |
|
Nearly back to the road: view of kids sledding by the parking lot. |
|
Above San Antonio Falls, a climber pauses to look up at the Bowl. |
|
The ever-present squirrel photo. |
|
Moon and pines at the bottom of Falls Road. |
