Ive decided to post some of the pictures I took for your viewing enjoyment. Im not going to go into any huge detail like I have before, but I will put captions under every picture. Enjoy.

PS: Sorry about the size, ive got a 5.0 Megapixel digital camera now, and these were actually taken on one of the lower resolutions. And im too lazy to resize them. So just up your screen resolution or something.

This was taken at a Museum in Albany, NY. Its an actual pillar from the World Trade Center.

Here you see a very small portion of the massive Ski Area that is Killington, Vermont. This was taken the first day we got there, didnt ski this day. Most of the mountain is obviously covered in fog.

Taken that same day, this is the base area of Killingtion peak, the highest of Killingtons 6 peaks. If you look closely you can see the gondola which takes you all the way to the top.

This is the outside of our condo. Not too glamorous on the outside, but quite spiffy on the inside, as you are about to see...

Our condo was a 2 bedroom 1 bath unit, that was obviously recently updated. Gotta love that 42 inch Plasma TV.

Here is one of the bedrooms. Fairly small, but both bedrooms had TV's above the Beds, which was very nice.

This was taken near the top of Ramshead, just one of Killington's 6 Mountains. No slouch in terms of elevation at over 3,500 feet, but nothing compared to....

The top of Killington Peak. At over 4,200 feet, its the highest point in Vermont. Nothing compared to the likes of Colorado or something, but all the way to the bottom is 3000 feet down. A very respectable vertical drop.

Another view near the top of Killington Peak. You can see the entrance to Juggernat, the longest run in North America at 10 miles long. Yes I did it, and no I didnt do it again. A very flat run which zig-zags through the forest. Something you need to experience at least once, but not necissairly twice, due to the amount of physical labor required. Good excersize though.


Ive got quite a few more pics to show, but not right now. Just dont have the time. Hopefully I'll get the rest up later tonight or tomorrow.
