[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 784952, member: 13632"] Shooting in the mountains is about as fun and challenging as it gets, we spend most of the year seeking out challenging locations to shoot. In my area the prevailing wind is the key factor, to figuring out how the wind moves through the area, once you find the key in your area I think then a guy can almost visualize the air moving like water over the region. Getting out in a snow storm that you can watch the air compress over saddles or create huge up drafts and swirls coming up the back side of a large draw definitely gives you a real good look at what's happening. The crappier the weather the funner the shooting :D I get almost no indicator of vegetation here but you hear the wind change in the upper flow that is in the tops of the pines even if you can't feel it you can hear it in a lot of the terrain I shoot.
