Thats some fine e-detective work right there! I just checked google earth and it's closer to 5 miles; the picture was taken from Fish Lake just west of the peak. But yeah, your point still stand.
Also, I came to the realization that most of the picture that look amazingly sharp are usually reduced in size.

I used center point for this one

Thanks all for the ideas, I will definitely try some of the suggestions in the next days.
Focal length of the first picture was 48mm and I was focusing on the center of the picture.
I just did some quick test and I bumped the sharpening from 0 to +2 it seems to make a difference, I will have to try it outside though.

I'm not sure I understand the whole crop thing. All I did was to crop the image in photoshop and save it, I thought that was a 100% crop. Also it seems that imgur.com doesn't keep the exif data.
The mountain is called Cataract Peak and the picture is taken from the Pipestone Valley in the canadian rockies.

The polarizer is a Zeikos multi coated professional(not that it means anything) and it was quite cheap. The lens is the basic Dal 18-55 that came with the K-x.
This is a crop from a picture taken without the polarizer at 1/200 sec, f/11, ISO 100
Thanks for the quick replies.

Pretty much all my picture are looking soft like this one.. I tried enabling/disabling shake reduction but at speeds over 1/100 it doesn't seems to make much of a difference. I definitely don't have the steadiest hands ever but I would have thought that at these speeds it wouldn't matter much.
This one was taken with a polarized filter at 1/200 sec, f/7.1, ISO 100
100% crop
