My nephew Brian drove Steph and I up to the mountain this morning for the great Grand Targhee Cardboard Derby. This is the event that signals the end of ski season around here and I know a lot of these folks.
I took over 400 photos today, some using a mode that captures a bunch of sequential frames rapidly, and I’ve narrowed them down to 173 shots. The sports mode was used on the downhill runs and worked great for isolating expressions.

Update: Brian had to bail early and we missed the last morning shuttle heading down the hill so we hitch-hiked out of Grand Targhee. Got a great ride from a young guy who has an ocean fishing guide business in Alaska where he works 110 days in the summer and then comes back to his home here in the valley to ski in the winter. He dropped us off in our driveway. Stephs first hitch-hiking adventure was a success!
Here’s a cool composite video that just might give you a feel for the event:
A lot of nice soapbox sleds. Hope you had loads of fun.
