Anyone have any tips for preserving quality when uploading to YouTube? My AK edit somehow looks like crap at 1080. Uploaded from Quick using the "Full HD" option.

edit: Sounds like it looks good...

Rossi Sender Squad. Felt like the perfect weapon.

Has anyone noticed issues with the YouTube video quality? I just watched it via the link for the first time and despite showing as being 1080 HD it looked like junk.

Bueller?

Heh, the other client in the ship with me was fond of saying that heli skiing is hard drugs. I'd guess around 15k. We did eight runs total. The first run was not really a real run, more of a "Let's...

Finally put the full trip edit together. It's missing some sweet drone footage from Comstock I'm waiting to get from one of the other folks on the trip, but I had some time so decided to crank this...

It's been so rad seeing how stoked to ski he's been this year!

We got dropped off on the little ledge looker's left of the pointy peak. We skied down to the little col left and below from there, which is where the POV vid starts. Skied fall line almost down to...

I couldn't resist un-Skidogging the pic.

Anyone have some 95 mm brakes?

And he somehow still doesn't get it.



Yeah, exactly.

For sure, meant the 'satch specifically.

IMO resort corn is pretty reliable thanks to grooming and skier compaction. BC corn is much more fickle.

In our deep evolutionary past taking a certain degree of risk was required to eat and stay alive, and successfully navigating that risk surely came with strong neurological and psychological rewards....

Best Wasatch corn I ever skied was during an unusual early March dryspell.

That moment when you leave the takeoff of a big air and your speed, balance, and angle are perfect and you know you're going to stomp it stretches on like an ocean of time. There's no past, no...

IIRC, 20-ish high school athletes die every year doing normal non-extreme sports. Marc-Andre Leclerc did some of his craziest stuff with no cameras present. Some people are just internally driven to...

Looking at the second pic a bit closer, if you look at where you can see the horizon on the left it appears that it may actually be a bit reverse Skidog-ed. Regardless, while it is definitely steep,...

You should post this in the ski RV thread. It will get a lot more views there.

Thanks, guys. If someone had shown me that photo before the trip and asked, "Do you think you'll get to ski something like this?" I would have said NFW.

I would have thought it was obvious that mods are not backend IT professionals, but apparently not. It's idiotic to think the mods can fix this.

Also, let's be real here, reddit's reply structure simply does not work for long-term open-ended threads like we have here.



This.

You're not wrong. For a regular Joe Public showing up to go heli skiing that line is the top of the mountain (pun intended). Given the choice between walk away and gamble on a regular public group, I...

Another angle. I can't believe I got to ski this. It's just stunning.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240411/70a38a09d1e76cfb1f667005453f123c.jpg

Wow, this sounds horrific.

Posting pics still works via Tapatalk, FWIW. But, yeah, between a dying format that isn't readily monetizable and aging unsupported software it definitely feels like like things could collapse like a...

I tracked down a pic of Sushi Bar from that day. We got dropped off on the little ledge left of the pointy peak towards the right.

In my dad's town the cops started driving around with their brights on all the time. Apparently, flashing your lights at assholes with their brights on is considered "aggressive driving," so they'd...

Code is POWDERDAYS and stacks on existing discounts. Just picked up a pair of Rossi Sender 94 Ti 186 for $340 shipped.

Hah, totally. People paying $100k per week for a private ship probably couldn't give less of a shit about Hobbs overages.

I believe Shredhead is correct, though you are splitting some of those hours with the other group using the same ship. Also, what muted said. The vast majority of your hours get burned getting into...

Ultimately, these are both huge kludges. If there's been a lot of activity in a thread jumping to the last post requires scrolling back up a long ways and trying to remember what you have and haven't...

Not for me. Tapatalk (pro version) still seems to be working for now, but desktop appears to be proper fucked.

The end is nigh. It's been nice knowing you all.

This is becoming increasingly annoying trending towards maddening as time goes on.

I'm 110% going back next year to use my flight credits. NFW am I letting those die on the vine.

Truer words have never been spoken. The models had been spot on all week <24 hours out. Sage could have stayed the extra day free and he also left Saturday afternoon (we had flights out of Anchorage...

I just made the mistake of checking the updated forecast and the cameras at the pass. Looks like they might fly today. Oooof.

12 hours ago it looked like there was no hope. I was fully prepared to...

A lot of life choices got validated this week.

Full fucking throttle

Sage also got down with the iceberg novelty skiing.

It's also very important to note that guided down day activities were provided. We did two guided ski tours, an ice cave tour, got a professional ice climbing lesson, and basically did a full Avi 1...

Roswell was an elaborate Soviet psy op.

Same report from a friend who survived an extended avi burial (pretty sure you know the incident). He's also pretty religious FWIW.

I'd doubt you'd clear $7M after all taxes are accounted for (going to vary a lot by state, obviously), but yeah, even assuming a more conservative bottom line and conservative investments that's very...

What you're really buying isn't days, it's flight hours. My "7 day" package was 4 Hobbs hours (basically, the actual time you spend in the ship measured in 0.1 hour increments) and I used 1.4. I was...

Also, I cannot say enough good things about Pulseline. The guides were amazing, the support staff are great, the organization and communication ran like a Swiss watch. When we were flying the...

At the airport. A blue hole popped open over Thompson Pass and most of the way around through Glacier View so the drive back was pretty glorious. The forecast isn't showing high pressure any time...

Technically two, but really just one since our scenic flight and glacier skip day doesn't really count. But, it was the best single day I could have asked for. Our lead guide said it was his best day...

Owner/head guide after dinner last night, "Everyone is really impressed with your skiing. If you get back here we'll put you in a ship with some rippers and really get you on some stuff."

Probably...
