My 2007-08 Season Video

[Greg]

This really was a great ski season. Part of the reason was all the AZers I got the chance to ski with. A few years ago, I skied solo a lot. I rarely do that now. Anyway, I somehow was able to condense my season into a 12 minute video. Here is the high resolution version:

2007-08 Season Video

It's BIG at almost 300 MB, but I think it's worth the download time. I'm trying to get a Google Video version uploaded too. Thanks to all the AZers I had the chance to ski with this season, especially those that were willing to hold the camera and shoot some footage for me. I hope you enjoyed the videos this season.

I'm not even gonna attempt to download that at work but i cant wait to go home and watch it.

You know i totally appreciate all the work you put into your vids. For someone like myself who doesnt get out very much, they are a great way to stay in touch, so to speak, with our skiing. Much thanks for everything. So bummed the year is over.

Powhunter, Johnnypoach and i were all saying the same thing yesterday though. Just cause ski season is done doesnt mean we cant get together over the summer a few times. Steve and i were thinking instead of our wednesday night bump sessions we could just do wednesday night bar sessions. lol.

Google Video

Okay. Here's the Google Video version. It's pretty terrible quality though, so I would highly recommend waiting for the high res to download. Anyway, here goes:

Awesome vid. Thanks

 

[bvibert]

Awesome video Greg! Really brought back some fond memories of the season! I can't wait to download the hi-res later, as I don't dare do it from work.

Sorry you didn't make the cut. :razz: Seriously, I only had about 2 seconds of footage of you from that November day at Hunter. After the transitions were added it was like half a turn... Next year!

Nice job. Glad you threw in the Goniff footy from magic. I was pissed you left my best work out of the original vid. I chose that location based upon the background light and contrast of trees and sky. I should get an oscar for that camera work. :smile:

Glad you noticed. Not putting that great Goniff footage into the original [post="242862"]Magic vid[/post] was a total flub on my part. You might recall I was fighting with WMM which kept choking on that vid. It was supposed to be in there, but I somehow overlooked it during my battle with that vid.

i wasnt being serious, obviously. but it did come out nice.

Actually, that was rather amusing to film. I yelled to you guys about the large ice patch and you all still proceeded to nail it dead on. 3...2...1...... SSSCCRRRAAAAAAPEE.

 

[powbmps]

That's pretty awesome. Being able to look back at the season, seeing the different snow conditions, the skiing progression. Cool stuff.

Mad steezy Yo!!!

No prob Greg, my skiing always looks better towards the end of the season anyway.

My ski jones was pretty much in check until I watched the high res full screen version of this tonight. Brought back some great memories of some rad days with good friends. Now I'm jonesing big time. Oh well, we're over the hump, at least.

True, still the first time I watched it a few months ago, I had a melancholy feeling of a season passed. Watching it again now, reminds me that we're getting close.

 

[MRGisevil]

Awesome video, Greggers. Thanks for putting this together for us! My ski jones is now officially at...tick tick tick tick tick....eleven.
