Yup I'll be here in Iceland for all of next season as well, hopefully with a couple of weeks out over to Austria and perhaps North America. Will be doing the same thread in Snow Reports as well.

That's Iceland on the list (unfortunately, a divergent list).

I liked it a lot. I'd always thought that the mountains in Iceland would be super-windy like they are up here so I was surprised to see no footage of you trying to fit violently flapping skins, the sounds of roaring storms and no shots of vast vistas of sastrugied snow. Coe Cup shots were nice to see in there too.

Awesome for me as well. Agree about more B roll - stunning scenery in Iceland, so it would be good to see more of it as well as providing a better context for the POV skiing shots.
Good work!

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

moffatross, heh, they are super windy, even more so than Scotland so I'll make sure to include some of that for you in any future videos.

I'd guessed that a lonely exposed island straddling the Arctic sea and the Atlantic ocean would be fairly 'breezy'. Please do add in some variable conditions meh, warts and all ski vids are not as pretty as blue sky edits and often you can't see much either but are just as compelling to watch.
Looks like fresh snow is on its way for you soon anyway ... http://www.meteociel.fr/cartes_obs/gens_display.php?ext=1&lat=64.5&lon=-18.5

jbob, all of this was filmed from mid-February, when I actually ponied up for the GoPro through to mid-May. Daylight in December is the worst with about 4ish hours of pretty much twilight, some of the towns in the fjords lose the sun completely for a couple of months. All the ski areas have flood lit bits though so I was night skiing at least twice a week after work. Mind you not really being able to see the terrain properly off-piste is good practice for skiing in a whiteout.

kitenski, yer I tend to agree, I tried but failed to keep it to one songs worth which seems about right if its a montage to music. That's also why I mentioned needing more B-roll because it lets you keep the pacing up by adding more cuts and more interest. Long blocks of skiing is pretty dull, which seems to be 90% of the problem with most POV edits. I'm planning to do most of next season with more documentary style shorts about the individual trips, a bit like a video guidebook as there isn't very much written in any language about the skiing available over here. Should be more interesting viewing than the 1000 video montages set to music.
