OT: pictures of cat and/or heliskiing?

I was wondering if anyone out there has a few good pictures of heli and cat skiing they might be willing to "dontate" to the wikipedia? I'd like to write small articles on both topics, and some picts would really help.

Actually there's very few picts for lots of big resorts, so you might want to take a minute or two and poke about to see if your favorite hill is up there at all! Whistler has a single shot of the hill and two of biking (!!!) but not one of the villiage, hills, lifts, and most of all, people skiing. Other pages are generally even worse.

Maury, are you the one who's been posting so many of our resort features to Wikipedia Reference sections for ski resort entries? Major thanks to whoever's been doing that.
 
My FTO feature article on Whistler has some decent pictures.

I have posted my cat and heliski pictures on FTO since 2005. From a photographic perspective I think the ones from New Zealand last August were the best. But you can also check out the Wiegele pics from the last 2 years and Chatter Creek this year.

None of these trips had the super deep snow like Monday in Solitude's Honeycomb Canyon, if that's what you're looking for.

Let me know offline if you need higher resolution copies.

Sorry, I can't take credit for that! I've worked a little on the Whistler article, and wrote the Revelstoke one (for a hill that's going to be the highest in NA you'd think they'd have a real web presence...) and a few minor edits here and there. I'm mostly an airplane and aircraft engine guy.

Is it the one from 2005? If so it appears the pictures were taken by different people, I'd need to contact each one for "clearance". The picture of the gondola is great (is that the creekside one?) and creekside village too. There's also a nice bowl shot with a lift in the background, and the shot from 7th back to Harmony would be perfect because there's an image from Harmony looking at 7th in the article now!
