Check this guys vids as well. They truly are brilliant. All shot with GOpro. Admittedly he has lots to play with but with a bit of creative editing they can look like from the same time frame.

They are awesome for the many sports I do I use mine all the time.

This is a ski vid from last year only three days.

Check out jsycrf on youtube for loads of other gopro content. Couldn't find another camera for the price ahich has so many mounting options and is so versitile.

Incidentally GOPRO HD3 should be out middle of the year and will hopefully address some of the white balance issues.

I am actually a lidder not a bobbler. I feel I can't replace my head but fully understand those that just wear a hat I used to for 25 years. Anyway getting off course. The boot shot is done with the head strap rearanged. Take the over head bit off and the other strap off and make a smaller strap with the over head bit (if that makes sense) I then wrapped it around my boot/leg. Going to try the gopro upside down this year to get more of what is going on ahead.

When I was there (amiditadly a good few years ago) we never had a bad time. Conditions can be scetchy sometimes but can't anywhere? Night life was awesome.

Too many sleeps. We are not telling the kids either. Which is killing me. I think it is the wifes way of keeping me under control. dang it

You only need one excuse. They are Awesome!

The young one in the video is only three. This was his first three days of skiing and the older one is 7 and it was his as well.

I bought the tip tether as he could open his legs but couldn't co-ordinate keeping the tips together. I only bought this on the night of the second day so he only got to use it for a day but it was a revelation. A soon as I put it on he could snnow plough and was in control of his own speed.

I was told by an instructor that he was too young to start but he was so keen (honestly I really did not push him as had been warned against doing that) that I let him have a go.

Best holiday ever seeing your kids enjoy a sport that you are so passionate about as well. They keep asking me when we are going back. :D

The carpet fed that run and onto a chair lift for a blue and to the other nursery slope.

I think the angulation is getting a bit better but was teaching for the whole holiday so didn't get much of a chance to practice.
