If you do not own Microsoft Power Point then you can still see the sideshow by downloading and installing the free Power Point Viewer. It is a small file and doesn't take long, but is not available for Mac.
If you do not want to install the free viewer or have a Mac and do not own the full Power Point version then then you can view the (inferior) Flash version of the slideshow here.
Mac owners can in fact view using the PowerPoint file using pple KeyNote software or the free Open Source competitor to MS Office www.neooffice.org

As I reported recently, Mio and I were on the road in a campervan for 3 weeks. We spent nearly every day backcountry snowboard touring. For the last week we lived in an igloo in a very quiet corner of the Swiss Alps.
Our objective was to ride conservative terrain away from other people, if possible completely on our own.
It was a success... and the best few days of my life.
Mio and I enjoyed it so much that we spent a day making a slideshow to remember the time. We had to use a disposable camera for many pictures, hence the lower image quality.
You can download the full slideshow here, although you will need Microsoft Power Point (if you don't then see below)
Instructions
Once the download is complete: click on the zipped folder to open and double click the file named CC2007 slideshow. It should start automatically (with music)

There are three ways to view the slideshow...
- Link to slideshow file (19mb, about 1 minute to download. Read below for instructions)
- Link to quick and dirty Flash version (no download required, but it is poor quality)
- Link to the pdf version. This is the easiest option, but its not really a slide show
