Special Olympics Ontario Winter Games

[aubintbay]

A couple of weekends ago the Special Olympics Winter Games were held here.
Some of the events were postponed for a day due to the cold (-34C one morning) but I was able to get out for while one afternoon and get a few photos of the skiing and snowshoe events. These are a few pics from the skiing. It was a little difficult to get in for some good action shots as nobody was allowed down the course. All these were taken from behind the the start line trying to find a view through the organisers and support staff. I have to say these athletes were very good and very serious about their endeavours.
As for me I found out I really need some practice in shooting in the snow. I ended up with a pile of shots with blown out snow! Some of the PP on a couple of these was done by a fellow photographer. I need some practice at that too!!
