    That was great!
    Wipe outs are part of any good ski video
    You've got to get some helmet cam footage, I'd love to see your perspective while you rip down.

    few questions came to mind with sitskiing

    1. do you have to keep weight centered for carving and weight back in pow (tailgunnin)?

    2. did you ski before you lost the use of your legs? wondering how intuative sit skiing came to you if you had previous experience.
    On groomers I manipulate the ski the same as everyone else, leaning forward to pressure the tip and initiate the turn, then lean back slightly to carve it round, transitioning to the next by leaning forward again.

    But in pow I cant be as aggressive, without the use of my legs and knees to push out turns I have to sit back, ride the ski and just gently lean for turning. I'm basically just balancing on the ski without using the outrigger as I would on groomers or firmer snow.

    I'd only really done nordic skiing before the accident, with a couple days alpine so wasnt a big skier at all. Getting in a sitski isnt really that hard, it's mainly about perfecting the balance.

    I have a couple helmet camera's, but the problem is that my head isnt kept as centrally as skiing standing up so it makes for motion sickness inducing footage. Plus the lens gets caked in snow all the time. I want to try and make a boom to hold the camera out infront of the ski with the lens pointing back towards me, should get better footage that way.

    Just added this clip of being blinded by steamboat powder:

    Sweet TR.
    Looks like you could have used a snorkel in that clip from Steamboat.
    When is the poster coming out?

    Shameless rebump. Sitski or no, the man rips. Vote for Andy! Get him into an apartment without wheels! Then we'd be getting vids like this on a regular basis.
