Once again waiting

Well it was a nice little mini season while it lasted. Once again we're playing the waiting game. I've managed to get some projects taken care of while it's been warm and rainy. Hopefully we're ready to rock and roll come the 20th and it will be game on for good.

Killington 11/5

Minianimal and I decided to head to kmart for some spring skiing in November. There is nothing better then 60* temps and skiing. Coverage was good and K has managed to stockpile significant amounts of snow in higher elevation areas. I'm not sure whether the low angle, low elevation terrain will hold through Friday, but once snowmaking weather returns Sunday night it shouldn't take long to get those areas resurfaced.

Helmet Hero Video from today

Well here it is, I'm not 100% impressed with it, but I'm slowly figuring out what works and what doesn't footage wise.

The light we have to work with out here is flat and grey, and the powder is often wet, meaning that POV shots of skiing wide open powder runs tend to look boring and repetitive. I may shoot at different angles or change mounting locations to attempt to fix that, but I have a feeling it probably will be a wash. I'm encouraged by the limited "chase" shots, I thought those did a better job of capturing the conditions, so in the future I'm going to try to get more of them. It helps to have a subject in front of the lens to provide some kind of definition. Perhaps tree footage will look better?

In any event, the camera is durable and does a pretty good job of taking still video so I'm encouraged on that front.

What a great day, coverage was unreal, close to 20" up top and NO rocks whatsoever

Couple more shots from today

Nice solid day in Southern NY, I haven't seen it snow that hard in a LONG time. It had to be coming down at a 1"-2" an hour pace, perfect early season snow too, very wet and heavy to prevent you from punching all the way through and hitting a rock
