Awesome! Powder and trees... what a feeling. That inspires me to record more video this coming season. My camcorder is less than dependable when it is cold out so that may require fixing.

Great Vid. Good choice in music too. I love The Black Keys.

Def noticed the right hand as well, kept expecting the left to pop up but it always stayed at his side...

One thing is certain he never falls short of providing some amusement on the hill at some point. I wish I had the camera rolling for half his tumbles. I am surprised we haven't had to cart him out yet

Decent skiing . . .

But some of those falls made me nervous!
Yea, same here! I thought for sure he was going to nail the tree he merely slid into. The hop turns seem exaggerated and may perhaps be leading to a slight lose of control as a skier can't turn and make minor corrections when the skis pop out on top of the snow. Not my style of tree skiing but it sure makes for an exciting video!! :lol: :spin:

good stuff. The regularity of the turns started to bug me about half way thru. I think I ride more like a snowboarder. The only time my turns are so rythmec is when I'm in a big open, flat pow field. In onther words almost never. Great days you had there, and you guys were having a ball. I'd hate to see video of my turns.....
Thanks.
