Nice photos. Are you shooting through the fence on some of the shots? I was there yesterday trying to figure out the best way to do it.

Thanks for the replies, and yes Doug, some of those shots were shot through the fence. In the summer its necessary to do so, unlike in the winter when the giant snow piles allow for us to shoot over the fence.
