Jeff and I showed up at Park City late in the day today.  To our surprise the new Pick n Shovel park had just opened up.  We took a few runs just to get a feel for the jumps, and I followed trevor through with the camera in my hands.  I wasn't really paying attention and ended up filming everything crooked.  So, here is all we shot today, nothing great, but if you are interested in seeing the new Pick n Shovel park, check it out!

Oh, nice front flip Jeff!

BE SURE TO TURN ON THE HD!

This footage is just from a day at Snowbird UT testing out my new GoPro HD Camera and Chest Mount. I am trying to decide still how much I like the chest mount as compared to the helmet mount. It does allow you to see your skis and the horizon at the same time easier, but also looks weird whenever your arms raise above the level of the camera (dropping a cliff, etc.).

Footage isn't great, mostly because I was testing the camera as well as frame rates. The HD on this camera looks awesome though for sure!

My home network wasn't working when I threw this video together and there were about 10 random songs on my computer, I decided this one was as good as any. If anyone has some cool music that I could throw in an edit sometime let me know, would love some spanish guitar.

More video to come.

P.S. That day at the Bird was awesome! I was testing out the Lib Tech NAS Pow ReCURVE skis. A review will be posted on skijosh.com soon.

I ended up winning a GoPro HD camera from newschoolers.com and from gopro.  It is a sweet camera.  It shoots 1080p video as well as 5mp still shots with a 170 degree wide angle lens.  I am still trying tweaking a few video settings before I make an edit of the test shots I have gotten with the camera, but here are some stills that I pulled from the video.

I have been using the Chest Mount from GoPro to take this video, mainly because I am afraid that the camera will fall off of my helmet.  So, although it isn't true point of view, it does give some great shots.

These first two shots are from our second run of the day on January 19th, 2010.  We had some awesome snow on Baldy right after it opened.  15 inches fresh.  If you have never gotten a face shot before, this is a great example of what it fels like just a second before you get pummeled by fresh snow :)

This last picture is a nice drop we hit up around the end of the day. I was demoing some Lib Tech NAS Pow Recurve skis.  Watch for a review on these skis laster this week.  This shot was taken about 1/3 of the way through the entire air time.  Awesome cliff, awesome chute, awesome landing.  Good times!

Scott Smith arrived home from his 2 year mission in Guatemala and has skied a ton since he has been home.  Unfortunately Snowbird is not having the best snow year so far, but the last few days have been awesome. 

Today I skied on the 186 4Frnt EHP.  The ski is awesome.  I can't say much more about it now, but it is really a fun and stable ski.  A full review will be up soon.

Here are a couple of shots form the elevator shaft at Snowbird.  We really need a helmet camera, as you can tell, because Sean had to hold the camera in one hand while he followed Scott and I down the chute.  Sorry about the wobbly video.  If someone wants to donate an HD helmet camera, we would greatly appreciate it!

After a very very long preseason the snow has finally started to fall.  New Years Eve brought 2 feet of fresh powder and bluebird skies.  Being one of the first powder days of the year (and lots of hidden rocks under the snow) the camera stayed in the pocket. 

Almost everyone from Clandestino Films has been out of town the last few weeks, but now that we are all home some footage should start to come together.  Here is last years video to hold you through!
