Winter Fun and Nature’s Beauty in the Central Colorado Rockies

March 6, 2014 By Eric Schickler

It has been a busy winter so far for the ol’ Canon camera. The incomparable Colorado landscape, plentiful snow and animated clients and visitors provided wonderful visual imagery. I lost a few pounds and almost a few fingers (to frostbite) capturing these photos. But I hope you’ll agree it was worth the effort. Enjoy these selected snapshots of winter fun in the Colorado high country.

Most are from Vail Mountain and Summit County locations during Dec., Jan. & Feb. 2013-’14.

As always, most of these images are available as high-resolution fine-art prints, or as electronic stock images for consumer and business publications or web site/Internet uses.
If you are Colorado local, I am also available for private photo shoots of any type.
Contact me for image prices, shoot fees, and terms of use.

And somebody cut a hole in the ice.

So…… let’s go swimming.

Vail Mountain – Closing Day Celebration – April 14, 2013. The Ceremonial End to Vail’s 50th Season. *

April 17, 2013 By Eric Schickler

* Two days later, the season was extended for the three-day weekend of April 19-21 due to abundant amounts of new snow. (Five feet in four days!)

Not sure what kind of party will happen on Sunday 21st (Vail’s “Second Closing Day of 2013”), but this would be hard to re-create. There is nothing like Closing Day at Vail: colorful, noisy, wild and unpredictable. Full of customs, costumes, vittles and bevies, and plenty of tradition. Sweet and bitter, happy and sad. But always memorable.

“Freelance Photgraphy Assistant” is ready for duty.

Thanks to my new chairlift friend, Dannee M., who served admirably as my impromptu volunteer executive producer and photography assistant for the day. Glad you made it to the party, Dannee. You sure know how to rile up a crowd.

That’s a wrap for Vail’s 50th season of operation.

The lifts have halted.
