Still waiting for it to upload and process. It's just raw footage, no music or anything.

Our second run down Annapurna for the day:


A few things I learned from this video.

A - Don't rely on Greg to check the alignment of the GoPro

B - I need to quiet my hands down... a lot

C - I was turning way more sideways on the steeper sections than I thought I was.

My daughter and i skied 'Purna a few times on sunday. Did they turn the guns off on monday? It was interesting skiing the variable terrain while the goggles iced up :) Like KingSlug said, it was the ROTD on sunday and although we didnt look pretty skiing it, we sure did tear it up...haha.

I think I gave a verbal disclaimer on Z lift, no? :lol:

Yes, you did. Guess I should have taken the helmet off to check for myself...

Very cool Video, Brian. I loved the beginning when Greg was hitting the whales like a kicker. Very peaceful.

Thanks. Those whales were a lot of fun!

Yes, the guns were off on Purna all day and the conditions were superb.

I'm very glad I got out for the fun. It was cool to ski with Kingslug again too.

I don't think the angle was that bad. Perhaps a bit down, but I think it's neat to see your skis and hands. I'm going to have to go back and count the double pole plants on that run though. :razz:

I actually liked those flat steep sections a lot. The snow was awesome and even a hack like me can somewhat carve on it. Throw a GS bump here and there to pop off of and you're talking major fun. Anna had a little bit of everything which is why we continually lapped it.

BTW, the camera is so stable and the quality is greaet. Going take that out on some MTB rides? That would be cool too.

The up and down angle seemed fine, it didn't seem like it was aligned vertically though. In other words; when my head was straight up and down the camera was tilted to the right a bit.

Let me know how many double pole plants you count...

The flat sections were cool, but I still felt like a gaper on them. The snow was very nice though!

The camera is great, very happy with the quality and performance. I will most definitely be taking it out for some MTB action when I start riding again!

Hard to tell really, maybe a bit. It's kind of a fish eye lens, and your helmet's on the left side so it's difficult to compare. I guess I expected unwatchable video, but it's really pretty good.

I counted 927 double pole plants, but I might have missed a few.
