    No, not at all!  Really!!  I love this footage.  It conveys the feeling of night riding powder beautifully.  Much more interesting to me than endless laid out carves on wide open hero groom.

     

    And for what it's worth, I've been a (documentary) television producer for almost 50 years.

     

    Well done!

  4. jackson hole--good for carving?

    Plus one on a Targhee side trip or even a couple of days.  It's an easy shuttle drive from Jackson Hole, but if I remember correctly the route involves a summit pass that's subject to occasional closures (?)

     

    Twenty plus years ago, Jackson Hole steeps handed me my (then) intermediate derriere. 

     

    Of the "out west" carving areas I've visited - Tahoe, Jackson Hole, Aspen/Snowmass - the Targhee experience is near the top of my list.

     

    Enjoy!!

  14. Replacement for Canon S5is

    Take a look at the Sony a6000 with the compact 16-50 mm zoom lens (24-75 35mm equivalent).  I haven't used it, but based on reviews I'd buy it in a heartbeat at the  500-600 $US current prices.  The successor a6100 (?) rumored coming out early next year so prices may go even lower.

     

    cheers!

  17. ?? US Postal Service to Canada ??

    Anyone able to comment on the likely delivery time of a First Class business envelope from U.S., 27606, to Langley, BC, V3A8B3 ?

     

    I was blown away by the cost of the various "expedited service" options, so I opted to gamble on standard 1st class.  Need to do this on a semi-regular basis, so I'd like to get a feel for ballpark delivery window.  The "varies by destination" disclaimer by our Postal Service isn't helpful.

     

    Any speculation appreciated  :biggthump :biggthump

    Amazing contrast between the 40's Hermosa Beach "plank" flick and Laird's online foil video!!  How did we get from there to here in just seven decades?!!  What a long, sweet "ride" it's been!  The only constant is the waves...

     

    Thanks for the posts!!
