A short video I made

By the way, the GoPro Hero 3 can be operated remotely through an app on your phone, and you get a screen on the app that shows what you are viewing, very useful sometimes. BUT it eats the camera battery alive so consider battery accessories or some kind of mobile charging device.
And yes, I looked at my own footage and wondered how it looked so good......maybe because I didn't use much of the footage taken below 1300m!!!!

Looks like they did a great job keeping the piste in good condition.

I wore it 5 days out of 6. I didn't get on with it too well in all honesty, kept taking it off at every opportunity. The one day I didn't wear it was the day I filmed myself on the pole cam. But I went back to it on the last day just to see if I felt different about it again. People who said you won't know its there after the first day are wrong. It felt like I was in a spaceship, I didn't like not being able to hear as much, but at least I mounted my GoPro on it most days.Snapzzz wrote:Helmet????

I guess the helmet is something you will just get used to over time. I don't find it effects my senses so much at all, but then i do have audio in mine so tend to have tunes on anyway unless i am with others.
Maybe you could try taking out the ear pads if its not too cold.
I have seen the go pro apps, I'm not sure i would get on too well with it when skiing other than assuring yourself it was actually recording. Unless you get decent, special gloves, you can use ur phone without taking your gloves off which is a a pain. I tend to just set mine off and leave if, i worry about it in the edit.
Last week i hardly used my GoPro, maybe its lost its mojo with me, or maybe i just couldn't be arsed as i had other stuff to do......will try again to get inspired in march.

Nice piste cruising, Tone. It looks like a place I'd like to visit, but perhaps that down to skillful editing!

Interesting how some people listen to music when skiing. Have to say cannot believe it helps your skiing as removes one of your senses. Obviously vision is the most important but as soon as conditions become suboptimal you really sense how important the others are. On a bad visibility day try skiing without your poles. Very difficult indeed as we are so used to dragging a pole (check you probably didn't even realize) and having 3rd point of contact with snow. The very reason we shorten our poles in powder so as not to remove this feedback. Audio gives great feedback on the amount of grip underfoot and helps you adjust edge angle.
From a safety point of view be it offpiste or onpiste is definitely not a great idea. Am actually surprised is even legal.
Each to their own but would certainly suggest is performance limiting. People who say it "helps with rhythm" only need to check out a nightclub. Music is on but plenty of people trapped in the body of a tree.
