Skiing Clips from Winter Park, Colorado

April 12, 2009

On this day, I went skiing with Mike Michaelson and Alison Ordelheide. Since pictures cannot really capture the excitement or challenge of skiing, we tried to shoot some video. Our goal was to accurately capture some of the thrill and fun of skiing trees and bumps at Winter Park. We found out that it is very difficult to shoot on this type of terrain with a handheld camera. Nevertheless, you might enjoy it - or you you just might get motion sickness.

The videos on this page use the new Silverlight viewer from Microsoft. The best way to view the videos is in full-screen mode. You can get this by clicking on the right 'expand' button once the video is cued.

 If you don't already have Silverlight installed, clicking on the video window will take you to a web site where you can easily and quickly download it (it's free). If you have any problems viewing the videos, please let me know.


Part I is out off of the Eagle Winds lift and was shot by Jonathan Vigh. It was very rough, but includes some humorous moments.

 

Part II was also at Eagle Winds, shot by Alison Ordelheide. I think this is the most humorous of the videos, as it seems none of the featured skiers, nor the cameraperson, could stay upright!

 

Part III was shot by Jonathan Vigh, also at Eagle Winds, and is mainly of Alison tearing it up in the trees. This time we got our camera technique down a bit better. This is the best video of the four.

 

Part IV was shot by Jonathan, and is our attempt at filming bump skiing. It was very challenging to try to keep up with Alison in the moguls, and still keep the camera pointed in the general direction. It's probably a miracle that I didn't faceplant into a mogul!
