Chairlift Pictures

My take on the average person's snow-riding experience is now a 96-page, 8x10 glossy book, "Altitude Adjustment: A Book of 'Chairlift' Pictures." These depict candid moments and interesting views from on, under and near the chairs where most skiers and riders spend most of their winter-sports day. Here are a couple dozen pictures. But you can learn more, link to a sample and order copies at: http://mayrivermtn.com.
