I love powder

Maybe it's obvious, but maybe not. Skiing powder is fun for a lot of reasons, but here's mine: It allows you to do almost anything you're imagination and bravery can conjure in skiing, especially with the help of the new generation of powder skis. Jump off that 10 foot cliff? Sure. Charge through steep, treed slopes? Why not? Hover effortlessly, gently over mellow slopes? Ok.

Powder smooths everything out and creates a blanker canvas (playing off of natural features is a big part of the fun. You don't want a completely blank canvas). Skiing powder is simply the most fun, rewarding thing I do in the outdoors. Days like today will stick with me for months, remembered at summer cookouts and relived in late spring liftlines: "Where you there that Wednesday in March? That smile tells me all I need to know."

Today was one of those days.

Finally: Usable helmet camera footage

After lots of tweaking, I finally some decent helmet camera footage. Still more work to do (need a goggle mount so I can do the side view), but there's progress.

Took advantage of a surprisingly sunny day to try the setup. Stayed on tame terrain due to some terrible snow conditions on the upper mountain, but you get the idea. The shakiness can be minimized, but not eliminated on hardpack snow, but powder should be smmmmooootttthhhh. Much better stuff to come!
