I’ll have more next winter! Thanks for watching!

You’ll have a great time!

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks buddy! I’m so glad you’re an awesome editor that makes poorly filmed 4WD videos easily watchable! Might need you over here on ski vids one day 😉

Copper ranges from 9700ft to 12300ft. You would need to adjust to it if you’re coming from a low elevation state. You’d probably have better luck at steamboat which is at a lower elevation.

I get that, we’ll see how my BOA boots hold up. Day 35 so far… no issues.

Thank you! I’m glad people like them. Next year, I’ll start doing top to bottom difficult runs too.

You got it!

Glad it was helpful!

I’m glad you like it!

Thanks, yeah… I like filming them. I’ll have one vid of all of Steamboat’s greens before I go back to making off-road content for my other channel. Next winter, this channel will get kicked into high gear.

That’s your choice, but I haven’t sheared it off since (I was also extremely rusty on day 2). I now hit the chutes and hike terrain every time I ski Steamboat without any BOA issues. You may have missed that it was easily fixed by the boot shop. I’ve ripped off buckles to the point that they’re not fixable.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!

Ski Time Square is still around, but unfortunately Tug Boat is permanently closed. There’s some other places, but I know people miss tugboat.

Awesome! I’ll keep making them and I’ll make a real skiing guide on Steamboat this month. Let me know how I do with that.

I’m skiing trees and steeps again. The POVs of those aren’t continuous yet, but I’ll put them in some extra POVs I’ll publish later. Next season I’ll make more POVs and I’ll make 20 minute high yield but efficient beginner and intermediate/expert guides of different resorts (just ordered an epic pass and I’ll renew the icon too).

Definitely!

or do any of that on a regular road, either.... ;)

Thank you! GoPro hero 11 black on helmet mount. I’m still dialing in the settings and trying to ski in a way that keeps it stable.

Thanks. Trying to decide on the Hero 11 or 12. The 11 in your videos looks great for what I’ll be using it for.

I use GoPros mostly as a trail cam and high risk cam in the off-road videos. I use a 10, 11, 11mini… they’re all pretty similar, but there is a difference from my 7 (old trail cam) to 10/11. Good luck!

Maybe so, but they’re great!

Thank you! I’ve never been good at making these kind of videos so I’m trying to figure it out.

You’re biased lol

It’s definitely scenic, I honestly find them all scenic.

Yes they are all gorgeous

lol, yeah, Steamboat is an interesting mountain. Adding Wild Blue and putting a lift on Mahogany have been controversial to some of my local friends here. Still, I’m a fan, but I do miss Keystone’s long and fast cruisers… that’s the one thing missing here. The longest fast runs take only a 1-3 minutes to get down at Steamboat where Keystone’s were 5-7 minutes. However, I do like the chutes, the trees, and hike terrain here. It’s a fun mountain!

I’m just trying to build this channel this winter. Because I still do a lot of the work on the off-road channel, I am getting a little pushback for devoting time to this one. Still, I’m about to finally get time off, I love skiing, and this channel is getting me healthy again… so I’ll keep it going. This channel will eventually be in person ski guides of all the Colorado/Utah/New Mexico resorts like the keystone vids. I think they’ll be better than the keystone videos and I’m going to evolve them a little (I’ll experiment a little this winter). Next winter I’ll recruit my friends to be the subjects of these videos (like the other off-road vehicles in the overland vids). People seem to like POVs so I’ll do those too. The POVs are also useful for me as I reacquaint myself with all the resorts and work on fine tuning my skiing. I might have two non-POVs and one Winter Park POV this week… just depends on my job. Glad you’re here.

I’m in full agreement.

Very cool!

Awesome! I’ll film more in detail vids of various resorts as I know them all pretty good (especially the Epic resorts), but people seem to like these so I’ll keep making them.

The new system is quite beefy. I’m not sure I’d use it on the upper part as I like buckles there (it’s where ski power really comes from). However, I’m truly loving it for the lower part. So much flexibility and quick to adjust while skiing.

These are my boots too! Skied in them for two weeks now, boa fit is better than traditional clips for me. I feel more in control of the ski and have more sensitivity in my feet to make tiny adjustments in pressure, edging and rotation.

My thoughts exactly. I’m really starting to push them now and I love how tight I can get them before dropping something sketchy. Then after, loosen them up. Really neat new feature. Glad the boots that fit me the best had them.

I really like the concept of the system, but the fact that you sheared it off, says a lot.

Have you not sheared off a buckle because I have. I couldn’t get those buckles repaired, but had this repaired in the base area in about 5 minutes.

Thanks! The next one is gonna be better… a storm rolled in, but got some fast runs and good scenery in. Now into the bumps.

Me too! I like all kinds of skiing, but there’s something about a nice long run. I’m going to try to document 14 (2 in each area) top to bottoms at Winter Park next month for the next POV.

Should have another tomorrow! 25 minutes of Copper Mountain. Still improving them tho.

Glad you like them! I should have one of Copper tomorrow. Still trying to get them right.

I will start filming black runs in POV format eventually. Black run POVs will likely have me following one of my instructor buddies. They’re all still on epic and I’m on ikon so it’s a next year thing (I’ll get both passes in 24/25 since my work will finally be on 11 days on call with 4 days off call [currently I’m on call 24/7 365 days/yr]). This year is mostly about trying new things and growing this channel… however, I’m going to settle in to POV videos and various resort guides mostly.

Glad to hear it! I just filmed one at Copper yesterday. I’m perfectionist with my videos, skiing, and wheeling… I just want it all to be the best I can do. I still have work to do, but I feel it’s attainable so I’ll keep making videos here.

Glad to hear it! On my offroad channel, I made skiing guides of Keystone that were well received. I’ll likely film a few different types of guide evolving those Keystone vids on Steamboat soon (next week). Then I’ll try to make the ones that people like on other resorts next season. I’ll do more POVs this season tho.

I will definitely make more POVs and will probably make them of different lengths. I’m doing a few different types of videos this year, but I like making POVs so they’ll continue on. Not sure all the other video types will tho.

Thanks for the feedback. Will do, I’ll get some at Copper and winter park soon and I’ll up the speed a bit as I’m getting my skiing legs back.

as a ski instructor shouldn't you already have your legs? @@coloradoplankers

@@jordsmords I’ve been on a hiatus due to my new career. I have only been part time while doing that… less and less slope time has caused weakness. Still, most people wouldn’t notice if they watched me ski, but I notice.

oh i noticed. couldn't miss it@@coloradoplankers

@@jordsmords I’m sure you could from a pov lol
