That's real nice. I wish some of the snow would come through more in the pic. Maybe give the snow some more punch.

Too much noise in all the sunset pics. Seems like you camera is trying compensate for the darkness by simply raising the ISO.
Heres one of my favorites.

I was about to say the same thing. Put the camera in manual mode and set the ISO to the lowest setting. This will reduce the noise greatly.
Composition wise they are pretty good shots. I suggest you DO NOT shoot directly at the sun because the lens on your camera cannot handle it. As you can see in the first pic you posted and the second to last one in the second post, the lens flares very badly when aimed at the sun. Try to get your shots right after the sun dips below the horizion. During this time you also get better colors from the sky because the sun is having to go through more of the atmosphere.
My favorite shot of them all is this one HERE (http://img134.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pict4477rp2.jpg). My one big complaint with it though is that there is a big tree in the foreground. The photo would have been much better hand you only had part of the tree in the frame. I would suggest the base of the tree covering up 1/4 of the bottom edge of the picture.

Yeha the only thing I didn't like about that shot was that I can tell you used a flash by the way the tree in the foreground is completely illuminated and it kind of ruins of main focal point of image and draws my attention away from the actual sunset.

As any professional photographer (or any guy with a small penis) will tell you, its not about what you have, its about how you use it.
The powershot 870 is a capable little camera once you learn how to use it. If you are really interested in taking good photos, read some articles online. For the technical aspects of photography, go to www.dpreview.com. They dont go into technique much, but as far as hardware goes, they are second to none.

like everyone said, set the camera to manual mode, lowest ISO available and make sure you have a sturdy tripod. With low ISO the shutter is going to be open for a good amount of time so if your camera supports delayed shots, set it for about 10 seconds and you should be good to go.
