Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

gavbrett, welcome to SHs. snowHead That does look fun, but did you not hear me yelling at you to turn the camera round so we could see where you were going?

i think the thing with gopros is you really have to jump from outer space for it to look exciting. Im sure that was a lot of fun but the go pros singularly fail to deliver it to the viewer no matter what they are mounted on.

I'd have been worried about dropping the gopro, does pole have a loop around you glove. It also answers the question about what you do with you skis; you take them with you.

Looks great but quite scary.

gavbrett, thanks for posting, great vid. I've been looking for a video of this for past few weeks. By the way, what settings did you use on your go pro for this... 720p 60fps?

How much is the ride? Or is it included on the lift pass (can't believe it is!)

 You know it makes sense.

Settings: 1080 25fps ; ) The pole has a loop, which helps on things like this, but I leave it off when I'm boarding - I don't want a long, stakey pole anywhere near me if I stack it!

Cost: 50 euros - steep, but worth it. You'll need a ski pass to get there and back down : (

Was planning not to be too impressed when you initially took off and I was thinking that I would rather ski those sections.....but then when you turned the camera slightly to give a view of where you were travelling, I was thinking 'When can I get on that!!!'
Very Happy

Looked awesome! Great first post!

My contribution (from last week). Not sure how it was for you gav, but I had to queue for 2 hours... Shocked Still, you don't often get the chance to try the 'highest zip wire in the world'. The bloke behind me in the queue had queued for an hour two days before, but had come back for another go, this time bringing his g/friend with him.

iainm, I'm sure that was terrific but again, all we can see is you - the film gives no inkling of what it's like. We need somebody to do it with a helmet mounted "point of view" camera.

You're out in the Alps aren't you Pam? Could you not pop across and give it a go? I'm sure we could rustle up a helmet mounted go pro for you if required Toofy Grin

sequoiaboard, Laughing how kind. I don't understand why people take a Go-pro on this spectacular ride and just video their own faces.
