How close are you actually able to get when you're jumping near it?

The wide angle lens doesn't give me a sense of that at all.

I'm also -very- jealous . . . awesome spot to jump I would imagine.

must check on a map, visuals are strange on the mountain. We were on the Theodul Glacier, on the linked map, we were landing/taking off from the logo just by 20c ski-zermatt.com/features/zermatt-skimap.html

Awesome pics! What are you using? Is it a 8 mm Peleng on a full frame body?

AFAIK Pascal's wide angle is a Sigma or Canon 10-22mm on a 20D

hum.. looks wider than 10 on a 1.6 sensor: vigneting would be slight if any, then maybe he's wearing a hood ?

Anyway, awesome pics and scenery!
