My wife has been on travel for the week and when she is gone I pull a ski movie out a watch it at night to chill out. However, I watched a ski movie short film on YouTube and Chromecasted it which lead me to think that this might be a good way to check out different runs at ski areas I have not been to. I am bad about leading my wife down trails she does not like - you know the ole - its OK you can ski this! She can ski almost anything but .....
In any case, I started searching for videos for Vail, Beaver Creek, Crested Butte, Copper, Breckenridge, and so forth. It was cool to watch it on the big screen and Chromecasting from my phone. Don't like the video, click on the next one. In the end after an hour I found some really cool runs I would like to try or found advanced terrain that my wife would be OK with.
I also pulled up the trail maps while watching the videos to see where the runs were. As you all may know, while using Chromecast, you can do other things on your phone so that worked out well.
Have any of you tried that approach or do you just go and ski it no matter who you are with! Do not like going down Advanced+ terrain blind.
