Great photos. I think Go-pros and dash-cams are going to signal a new age of polite enforcement from police and other people with power over us. They'll never know when a camera is rolling.

Trencher, I saw that video on Twitter and re-tweeted it ) There is a rather humble comment from the resort management on their Facebook page. Bit embarrassed they are!

Well done Snapzzz!
I am actually impressed with your ability to ski on your third week with that silly box stuck on the end of a pole.

When are you going to post the falls !!!

Great video...I think I might be opening up my wallet tomorrow and spending even more money on my new skiing habit! Heading off to Val D'isere on Sat 7th....now possibly with a video camera as well. Any comments on merits of Drift HD versus the Go Pro??? The Drift looks 'neater' on the helmet but possibly better quality with the Go Pro?

I can't say i have ever used the Drift so i can't comment.
I chose the GoPro because of the awesome video i have seen and most reviews put it ahead of the other offerings.
Also you will see it used by the likes of the BBC (seen it on top gear) so i trust their judgement!

Agreed...the various reviews seem to suggest the Go Pro provides the best quality output. Did you go with a helmet mount at all? Looks a bit unwieldy compared to the side mount cameras.

I am working on the fall off the Sarene. The file is there but it is corrupt, this happens when the battery dies whilst it is still writing to the card. I think i left the cam on for quite a while after my mishap....Other things on my mind.
There are plenty of suggestions online to recover it so watch this place.
