Just checked out the hi-res. Definitely me. And it's the only video you got of me . . .:oops:

I tried to get as many people as I could. Unfortunately most of the AZers were much faster than I was, so a lot of the footage is of the folks that ski a a more human like pace. ;)

I was just happy that I got as many of you guys coming down from the meeting spot as I did..

You totally changed the music from the last time I saw it! Nice job! Sorry you had to stay up so late to finish it. :oops:

Yeah, this was actually the music that I had originally picked out before going off on another tangent. The other idea was kinda cool, I might still try to put together the other version just for fun..

nice work brian. appreciate the time and effort.

The two huck-leberries. Austin and DH04 i presume. How do you walk after dropping 12 feet or so onto such a flat surface? You guys are freakin nuts.

cant believe how many people were at the original meeting spot.

good work on the earlier part where you sped it up catching a bunch of people at once. Its interesting to see all the different styles of skiing. Some prefer the short radius, some the gs turns and a couple just dont turn. mustve been austin.

I'm a teenager and don't weigh anything. DH04 on the other hand, I don't know. He's probably just nuts.

Probably Koreshot too. I turn every once in a while...

Edit: That actually was Koreshot not me, (I went by to the right at the very beginning)

BTW: So when are you getting up to MRG? The bumps are amazing right now. You would be in heaven. (yes, I will keep heckling you until you finally make the trip)

Pat looking rad on the bump skis starting at 1:58. Makes the crouching tiger that follows him look particularly lame... :roll: :oops: Austin - you can see the start of your infamous Minya wipe-out at 2:32.

Actually I am not walking very well after that. I got the riot act from my knee surgeon yesterday. I went in to see him because I haven’t been able to put pressure on the knee I had scoped. He told me I need to learn how to take it easy. He wasn’t amused when I told him to schedule me for a second scope after ski season because I don’t know how to take it easy :smile:

I may not be a teenager anymore but I sure as hell feel like one when I slap a pair of skis to the bottom of my feet. But you are right I probably am nuts :)

I was hoping you guys were going to leave in a bigger group, or at least not spaced so far apart. The resulting clip is a bit slow in spots, but I didn't want to cut it up for continuity sake. Speeding it up helps move it along and matches the music better anyway..

Glad you guys are liking it!

It's too bad that the day was somewhat overcast which made for some dark and/or grainy shots. It didn't help that I had a giant finger print on the lens the entire time either. :smash:

Bah...It looks great. And again, it captured the vibe nicely.

The best part about Hunter on the 14th was that Eric "Hojo" Hjorleifson made a surprise appearance. I had no idea he was an AZer.

I was glad I was finally able to get a little footage of you boarding too. I had to work quickly to get the camera out just to get as much as I did.

I'm not a big music person, but I heard Clutch's 10001110101 on Sirius a bunch of times and thought it was pretty kick ass and that some of their stuff might be good for skiing vids. So when searching for instruementals I grabbed WYSIWYG. I plan on trying some of their other stuff as well. Look for a longer cut of WYSIWYG in a future movie too, I originally had it earmarked to use in my season video that I haven't gotten around to finishing...
