SOAP BOX COMP - Skiing The Skyline Divide

      Hope you liked the last video A Backcountry Skiers Observations I know it was a bit long but learning to cut cut cut. This video I filmed also back in January. You can see there was very little snow at the start of the video. Pretty depressing to be searching for snow that far into the season, anyways I thought I would not bring my cameras and just enjoy skiing without filming but every time I don’t bring my cameras something happens. So fortunately I brought them along.


      I don't name the skiers in this video as it is so embarrassing to be caught on film making a mistake and I thought we could all learn from the simplest of thing how you can get caught out at night. This guy said to me that he was so embarrassed. I assured him that he was just some guy with a helmet on and goggles and no one would know you. So if you recognize this person keep it to yourself. We will all probably make bigger mistakes and worse. 


      I was very pleased with how the night photography turned out and I was some how able to make some sort of a story out of real life adventure. When no one will wait or even act for the camera so most of the filming is done in secret when they are not looking. I also try to get then use to being in front of the camera. No easy task with people you have never met. 


    Hope you enjoy this one. 

     

    Remember for every min you watch there is 3 to 4 hours of work to put this together and this is just a hobby for me.
