If in doubt, tuck it out.

Or, if you must slow down..

Go to a local boat chandlers and purchase yourself a small anchor and a sturdy length of rope. When your speed reaches the point where your eyeballs are 'licking' the inside of your goggles then simply throw out the anchor (not forgetting to keep a suitably tight grip on the other end of the rope). Works for me everytime. :mrgreen:

We'll have to compare bookings. Perhaps you're following me!

Am I reading it right? Does it say that the transfer is free!!?

Just re-read it. Perhaps its' if you buy one then another person goes free.

I'm not entirely sure I could ski in a foot of powder :oops:

Updated version. A quick edit with forward BootCam, Rearward BootCam and good'ol HelmetCam!



PS. I've also updated the URL in the first thread.

Youtube downsamples the video quite a lot so what you're seeing is nowhere near as good quality as the original.

The camera is a Samsung Miniket VP-X300L. You get about an hour of battery life and it records to SD cards.

I've read on various sites about Mac problems with this camera too. You can get around them but it's a bit of a fiddle.

Pavel, I'll PM you a link so you can download the full-res version.

Introducing SkiBootCam.



A quick blast down the Rossolin, Tignes.

Something weird going on here;

And both have Mayrhofen and Sauze d'Oulx as their favorite resorts in their profile.

Even more weird, I'm going to Mayrhofen on the second week of Jan and Sauze d'Oulx on the First week of Feb.

Spooky :|
