You already know this, but I'm so stoked for you!
Those of you who don't know CharlesJ are in for a treat!
I am looking for a Sherlock Holmes pipe for you. It would really round out the image.
I am looking forward to seeing what direction contentwise your project goes. This is going to be fun.
... and, yeah, skiing with detrusor and his girls are a must

Fantastic
Congrats
Can't wait
Don't be tied to a name just yet
The story will evolve / change
Feel free to hit me up if you make it down Mammoth way.
Devils plural are in the details. Hoping to ski with all of you and hit my hundredth mountain/hill this season. Will keep you posted
If you get stuck in the midwest while on your journey let me know, you could stop at Tyrol Basin (Indy Pass) in south central WI.
Many passionate skiers around these parts, could be good fun...
or not :D
Exactly, AB and PQ but not BC? I call shenanigans. If you come mid week with enough warning I've got a bed u can use in Fernie most of the winter.Quote:

I personally think he's right to skip BC. The lift lines are atrocious and the snow is heavy. Plus in my region we have no high speed quads with heated seats. It kinda sucks here. Fuck.
"It kinda sucks here. Fuck. " that only arouses my curiosity
"Fernie. Or any of the AB stops. " for sure
"shenanigans" my middle name
"Tyrol Basin " Will ski a few WI areas on my way to hundredth hill/mountain
"Mammoth?" possibly
" Don't be tied to a name just yet" not tied to a plan yet
December will be mostly ice coast, NY, VT, NH, MA. Possibly ME and Quebec
We will hit le massif. It will happen.... one of these days. ;)

I shoot and edit the Bridger Bowl Daily Video and have for the past 18 seasons; down to 3 days per week this season but if it lines up, would be happy to show you around! Good luck with the project!
I’ll get there for sure, probably late January or in Feb. Look forward to all the mountains in MTQuote:

Look forward to your travails and help with a respite of kindness when you get close.
Cool thread, and the idea of a sponsored ski season to film sounds amazing.
On the topic of ski road trips in MT: Normally it’s names like Bridger, Big Sky, and Whitefish that stick out for out-of-State skiers. However, there are a ton of smaller ski hills that are worth checking out. Plenty of mags can chime with reccos, but overall you could easily link a bunch of stops together and bunny hop across the state.
So if you have any interest in checking out the Lost Trail/Snowbowl/Lookout/Discovery axis, I’m in the that area and would be more than willing to help out.
I can’t wait to ski the modest mountains of MT as well as the bigger ones. Still getting vehicle prepped and acquiring camera gear. Going east for December, will be bound for the west in Jan

I'll be skiing full time for four months. Get in touch. Will link up for some turns!
What camera gear will you use for a venture like this? I've mostly been a photographer on backcountry trips so an RX100 has worked fine for that but it leaves something to be desired on the video front.
Byates, definitely! Have not ventured west in a few years. There is a lot of good terrain there if I recall correctly!
Kinkilla, Still trying to figure out the more serious camera I will bring in addition to gopros and a phone. Have been using video cameras for over 40 years and in the past 15 I’ve shot a lot of video with DSLRs. I like a big image sensor behind the lens but that requires bigger lenses. Many still cameras don’t have great audio capabilities. They also lack monster zoom lenses that can be useful. Whichever way I go it will end up on a tripod some of the time and any of the more formal interviews I do will be done with the bigger camera. Was thinking of a small mirrorless but I would also like to be able to shoot some slo mo (>240fps) with a long lens. I have to pick something soon and get familiar with it fast
It can be a PITA to lug around a bigger camera and a tripod. I crash about once every ten days of skiing (I know, not pushing myself hard enough) I don’t want to crash with a bulky camera that might damage me, screw up the production and shorten my season. I am considering the sibling of your camera, RX100 VII for size, incredible zoom range and slo mo.
edit: going with the RX100’s bigger bulkier brother Sony RX10IV for incredible zoom range and impressive slow motion. Hopefully it will do the trick.
Bump for suspense

Finally getting started on the adventure. I’ll be going east, mostly New England, several times within the next 2 months with forays to WV, NC and the MItten. Will go West after that. Skiing with Skinipenem at killington this weekend. After that I’ll be somewhere else in Vermont or New Hampshire for a few days.
A couple of trailers for the madcap project were cut. One need not be nostradamas to anticipate the response here. Where is the skiing? Quite true not enough skiing. And that jackass Masshole is not as funny as he thinks he is.
The lack of skiing footage is because I wasn’t skiing with you all last year. I was skiing alone or having too much fun to document.

Where are you headed in WV? This is my favorite kind of ski roadtrip and can't wait to see how it plays out. Also the mentions of UC's up thread just hit me with the nostalgia.
shit, ill watch it, scribed
I subscribed to your Youtube channel! Follow me back at raisingarizona13.

I’ll post links here. Magic Mice Productions has several projects underway, mine is but one of them.

I skied Sunday River today and met the perfect subject. Did I get her story? No. Sometimes skiing is better than messing with cameras. I’ll get the full story later with her, her hubby and possibly the seven year old. Kick ass skier. Perhaps 80 days a year makes one a kick ass skier. She met her hubby skiing, got engaged skiing and honeymooned skiing.
Shot some POV trying to get the hang of little cameras with two buttons and a lens that has a range of focal length from wide to widest. Did drive through some weather on 16 by Pinkham Notch. Localized phenom, no snow elsewhere around here to the best of my knowledge. Loon tomorrow, Cannon Thurs, So VT Friday. Editor working on stuff.
Trailer #1. (Many prefer this one. I don’t know, I still wonder why I’m in front of the camera rather than being behind the camera pointing it at someone who likes to be in front of the camera

New stuff soon, including skiing
One more thing: a better title would have been Semi Pro Dirtbag Skibum Tour. My “two ton two person tent on wheels” is the least equipped van of any I’ve run across
youtube got me stoked! Have fun out there!
Anybody heard from CharlesJ lately? I skied with him at Stratton on the storm day (Friday) and he was heading for the upstates (Alfred) to visit family.
Love it! This is going to be a blast. Rip it up!
