Here's a clip from a couple of days ago. Utah is off to an awesome start.

**freshie247** · 01-03-2011, 01:31 AM

That's what I'm talking about,good to see you back here. The different perspectives are styley.

**SLSki** · 01-03-2011, 02:54 AM

Is this mostly inbounds or out?

**Crampedon** · 01-03-2011, 03:33 AM

First rate! +++ good song too

**meatdrink9** · 01-03-2011, 09:52 AM

Thanks.

SLSki, it's about 50/50 in to out. The above video was shot the day after the storm (the snow came during the previous day). Most of the upper elevation inbounds stuff got windbuffed and didn't shoot quite as well, but skied great. Wind protected areas like the trees or lower elevations provided the blower snow.

Here's one other quick video of skiing during the storm. This is 100% inbounds and due to the heavy storm we were kept on pretty mellow terrain.

You have to synchronize your peck muscles to the bounces. Helps with peck dances for the ladies too

**jondrums** · 01-03-2011, 03:22 PM

nice edit!
random question:
does avalung work with full-face helmet?

**Elkhound Odin** · 01-03-2011, 04:15 PM

That camera angle seems weird to me. It looks like you are way back on your tails (though I know you're not). Reclining on a La Z Boy?

Wear a bra, your man boobs are bouncing too much

Thanks guys.

Z, Salomon Rocker 2's. Definitely my new favorite boards. Powder is giving away a pair right now: http://blogs.powdermag.com/salomon-rocker-2-contest/ So far there haven't been many entries so I think odds might be good.

Durangotang, Miike Snow - Animal. Great band and song. Probably my favorite album of 2009.

f2f... Luck I guess? I didn't do any thing special. It's probably smooth because the snow was?

jondrums & Neal, Yeah it works great. I cut out the little rubber portion of the chin guard right when I got the helmet. No fogging... even when hiking and super easy to get the avalung in.

Elkhound, yeah the wide angle does really weird things when mounted to your chest. It looks like I'm laying down at times. The worst is cliff hucks though as all you see in the air are your knees then when you extend to land the camera has adjusted to the colors of your pants and everything goes white out for a few seconds. Less than ideal, but the most convenient set-up I've used for the GoPro and less likely to get lost. I had a helmet mount fall off this day. Luckily the camera wasn't on it.
