Yeah people say that GoPro footage makes it look less steep... I think its a combination of the wide angle lens and the fact that sliding down a mountain is much more intimidating in person haha. Gauthier is one of my favorites too. It wasn't open when I was there a few weeks ago, but I'm looking forward to when it opens.

I learned to ski at a smaller ski area back east, so moving to Colorado and skiing these big mountains has been quite a thrill. I see younger folks on the steeps occasionally, but not that often. I guess that means you are pretty good. Be careful out there, I hope you have a good ski season!
