Come on, snow! I should be able to run into you a few times over the weekends this time around. Seeya. -J

Looking to pick up a used, functional BTS system with yellow springs for a fair price. Let me know.

Lo-Pro love!! I got their debut CD when it came out and have totally forgotten about them since. "Sunday" was apparently their only single from that album, but it didn't seem to be very popular. I dug it, though! I'm glad it got decent airplay on my local rock station, otherwise I would've never heard of 'em. This POV is just like any "third-person" POV footage to me; if the video quality is good, riding quality at least decent, and things are easy to see (especially including the rider and his/her technique), then it gets me off without really "getting old." This video is a pretty good example; I'd be really happy with the results if this were my footage. I vote Rock on, Steve! Besides, I like this method the most out of all the attempts of single rider self-capture I've seen so far. What I personally never really cared for was that camera-on-a-stick-passing-between-hands-on-every-turn thing I've seen a few times on here even when the footage is dynamite, but that's just me.

glad to hear your trip back to the sierra nevada for just a couple days worked out great. see you around.

well, school strikes again. got slammed with a project due this weekend. how depressing.

we're on slightly different wavelengths here, i think? if anything, i was claiming the video to be 30 fps. 25 fps makes the true riding time even less than my original numbers , with the assumption that no frames were discarded during conversion to the final video that us purchasers are viewing. the camera does in fact record up to 120 fps, which is what allows the film to be played in slow motion while not having "choppy" footage.

Perhaps I can give a somewhat informed guideline for deciding against the purchase. Devil's advocate. Whatever. When I myself am riding, I'm not at all an EC enthusiast technique-wise, although I do love to watch it. I purchased it at around the time it came out, so I don't really know what the extras are that we get besides the 7-minute video. This may be kind of obvious, but I didn't really think it through, myself. The content is 7 minutes of what is actually much less than that 7 minutes of real riding time. The Red One camera records a purported (from a quick Google search) 120 fps. I'm being very rough with calculations, but I'm just trying to get a point across. Please forgive anything terribly fallacious; not trying to preach that you shouldn't buy the film, but there are things that probably would have made me decide against buying it had I realized them beforehand. Ultimately, that's just me being a college student and not really having my own money though. The footage really is beautiful. You can find the trailer if you snoop around on the actual site or search youtube. Just keep in mind that they have a few full-speed shots in the trailer, but the entirety of the actual film is played slo-mo. Let's say that they want to take advantage of the 120 frames/sec by replaying the footage at a more human-readable 30 fps... In the end, you're showing only 1/4 of the actual riding time, turning out to be under 2 minutes. I would have been happier if we had more footage (perhaps just make available all the raw footage as well) AND if we had access to all the same footage played at normal speed. Guess you could tell me to not be lazy and convert it myself, but I'm lazy. :)

hot dog. maybe i will get to ride with you after all this season. it's pathetic. since early january, i've either been slammed with homework or the weather was bad. tons of severe weather warnings issued; i couldn't even make a trip during spring break

Could you share what you did? Maybe you have a post elsewhere on these boards detailing how you did it? I'm sure anything I make that's sort of custom will be a better solution than $10 beds for my pronated feet. :p

mmm. perfect overlap, charlie. i'll be riding 24-26, provided i have no problems or don't get too sore. see you too, kendrick.

Happy to contribute something useful. Keep in mind, these "Vail Resorts" of Colorado also cover two resorts (or one, if they haven't added the new acquisition Northstar to their list) in the Lake Tahoe area.

This page: https://vailresorts.taleo.net/careersection/external/moresearch.ftl?lang=en may or may not help. It is a few links deep from this main site: http://jobs.vailresorts.com/ Cheers.

will make it up this weekend if i can. depends primarily on two variables: -weather -jury duty also have a doc appointment on the 27th.

don't dismiss the weather conditions! lot of storming here in tahoe, california/nevada right now. i'm kind of glad that i decided to postpone my boarding trip due to weather. i wouldn't have ridden at this resort (sierra at tahoe) during this canceled trip, but my season pass is good there, and i do plan on going there a couple times this year. i just heard about this on local tv news. if i heard correctly, they reported 20 total rider ejections off the lifts. as can be seen on the article, five had to be treated for injuries. fortunately, the worst of the injuries (according to the report i caught on the tv) was a wrist fracture. stay safe!
