    Storm Skiing in Alta. 1/22

    Got in a few runs later in the day today. The rain crust from last week is almost buried, but is still out there waiting to take you out. Got to go for a nice slide through the trees when I found the rain crust. The skiing was pretty great today.

    I felt like you should be decapitating groms with your skis to that tune. What was it? Oh, nice skiing too.

    Please. Never speed up video. I see you skied some great lines, and that slide for life was familiar. But really, no sped up video, personally i think it looks terrible.

    I didn't speed up any of it, might just be that the chest mount is super shaky.

    OK, that's fucking it....

    the POV shit, in general, sucks, overall.

    I totally appreciate that you skied Alta on a full on FKNA powder day, but that's the best?

    Cut that down to about 30 sec., or less, and maybe it won't blow moose cock.

    QUALITY not quantity.

    I didn't think it was to bad, although among POV shots the chest mount is definitely the worst.

    Looks kind of like that tumble you took was in the vicinity of the garbage chutes, no? Those entrances can be hairy when the snow is good.

    It was between Rustler 4 and Tilted World on the ridge.

    that rain crust has taken me out quite a few times in the past few days, it can be deadly if you're not on your shit.

    Sorry man! I was drunk, that might have had something to do with it too. but some of that looked sped up. I believe you, a certain Scannell says your legit. haha.

    That's weird - I was listening to the actual real Days Of Future Past by the actual real Moody Blues on the way to tha hill yesterday. I had Nights in White Satin stuck in me head all day. I was also on migraine medication, so it made for a somewhat surreal day.

    These chestmount POV's are weird, but far be it for me to piss on somebody's stoke. Nobody's making you watch the thing.
    Help out a pup or kitteh

    Do it for the critterz
