Great conditions. Will write more later but here's a vid. I forgot to delete out the ski sounds, my bad

... my first vid on the Gopro



Here are my AlpineReplay stats:

I've gotta aim the camera up a bit more, I was playing with the position a bit. Sorry if anyone gets nautious

[Scotty]

Nice video!

Definitely need to aim it up some more, but the camera takes some nice video!

How do you like the Atomics in the bumps? I've got the same skis, but they are a little too unwieldy for my skill level in the bumps. I'm thinking of trying some smaller more nimble skis in the bumps until I get the hang of it.

[Nick]

Yeah they are a little weightier than I would like in the bumps, but it's a compromise I made as I am currently on a 1-quiver setup and I wanted something versatile for the whole mountain. Overall, I like 'em, they probably aren't the best at any one thing but are pretty decent everywhere

It's my first season on them - Atomic Crimson Ti's, picked up in the late fall over at Suburban Sport.

Also: I cut down the video quite a bit .. I took almost 30 min of video and clipped it to that 4 minutes. Was kinda surprised that by the end the gopro was almost completely out of battery, after 2 1/2 hrs on the slopes.

Those bumps sounded and looked kinda firm...

[Nick]

They weren't too bad, a couple spots but much better than the week earlier when I went.

Frannies Folly ones were definitely icier but the gentler pitch made them manageable as well. I enjoyed the 10th ones overall.

I think you mean the bumps on Hitchcock. I've never seen bumps on Frannie's; they usually put a mini park on Frannie's.
