Gadv in the Snow
« on: December 19, 2006, 08:35:55 PM »
After we posted the "Nitro in the snow" photo on the home page, our member peterpjr asked if maybe we could share other park photos that were taken during the off-season.

It got me thinking - what if we try to find every picture we have that happens to have snow in it?

Every few days I'll add another :)  Eventually we'll run out of photos with snow and we'll look for general off-season photos to ;)

and thanks for the idea peterpjr!

Great pics Bubba.  Just curious, how does everyone get these pics of the park in the office season?  Do you work there?  Keep them coming.  I looking at the park in the off season.

These were from the El Toro construction tours some of us were at last year.

Some are from various off-season construction tours where we managed to take a few pictures on our way to the construction site and a few others were from a few approved personal visits with some friends of the corp.

I should have pointed out in the original post that all of these were taken with permission from Gadv.   We just didn't include many of them in our updates because they didn't pertain to the El Toro construction site ;)

Wade, so in a sense, this is an update of its own?

Cold Beer?  :D

These pictures are really awesome...it's kind of hard to see snow on the place you associate with steaming hot July pavement.

I am loving these pictures.  I am really itching to get on some coasters.  I think I see a roadtrip to Magic Mountain in the near future.  The best benefit of working for an airline.... free flights.
