The helmet mount gives a pretty boring POV and will turn off most viewers in minutes, the key is variation.
I used these positions:
Front of helmet.
Front of helmet but backwards facing (films face or downwards)
Boot mounted forwards
Boot mounted rear
Ski pole mounted.
There are threads here that explain things further and example videos.

If you want technique analysis then its going to be pretty hard to achieve that if you are filming yourself. The only real way to get footage that can give you any real idea of how how you are truly doing is to get someone else to film you.
With the go pro you will have to use a pole mount to get in your whole body and then your technique is gonna go out the window as skiing with a camera on a pole at arms length is pretty awkward.
