Hello all,
The Vail opening day video has now been posted. It is in full 1080p HD, so if you can, I highly suggest you watch it in that. The video only features footage from the first day, but there will be a video coming out soon with the entire weekend. So far I think that Vail's opening day was the most successful (although I was not at Breckenridge's), mostly because of how they managed the amount of people that were there. 2 different sections of the mountain were open which really helped keep people spread out and there were multiple ways back down which helped too. Friday wasn't bad in terms of the amount of people, but Saturday and Sunday was defiantly packed. Very successful opening day, here is the link (you can also click the tittle of this post): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8Bk5ciPr5o

Vail Opening Day Video Postponed
Hello all,
The Vail video of opening day is going to have to wait until I get back on Monday. The file size is over 3GB in 1080p and the internet connection that I have where I am staying is just not good enough to upload (over 14 hours to upload). If any of you know how I could upload the video faster or at a smaller size without degrading quality, please let me know.

Vail Opening Day 2011-2012
Hello everyone,
Vail opening day 2011 - 2012 was amazing! Conditions were great and the weather was amazing. The entire day was recorded in 1080p 30fps and it looks amazing. A short video will be coming out in a bit, but the entire video won't come out until after the weekend and will have the best footage from the entire weekend (Yes, I get to be at Vail the entire weekend!).

Skiing Vail from Top to Bottom and Vail Opening Day 2011-2012 Plans
Hello all,
In preparation for Friday I have posted a "Skiing Vail from Top to Bottom" video that features a long string of runs from Two Elk lodge all the way back to the base. It is a great string of runs and probably the best way to get back to the east side base from Two Elk lodge. The only downside is that there are two long catwalks in between. Also, it is most likely going to be the last footage from the 2010-2011 season, everything else from now on will be from this season and filmed in HD.

If you weren't aware, Vail opens this Friday and SkiSurge will be there the entire weekend! I checked there website and this is what I found for opening day, looks pretty good!
Lifts open: 9AM
Number of lifts: 4 (3 chairs, 1 gondola)
Number of runs: 4

Skiing Keystone, CO - Opening Day 2011-2012 Season
Hello Everyone!
Skiing opening day at Keystone yesterday was amazing! Great conditions for early season. The video is now up. I had a bit of trouble uploading it. The first time it uploaded in 240p, cause of the formatting, so I had to re-render it again, then it finally worked. If you can, I highly recommend that you watch it in 720p. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8zhrCUMhoU or you may click the tittle of this post. Enjoy!
