Snow in the Bridger's Forecast!!!

**jeremiahyawnson** · 08-15-2009, 12:09 PM

After seeing the snowbird cams I had to see what the outlook was for the bridgers...

Granted it's probably not going to happen and I'm trying to not get my hopes up... But if they just get a perfect wind storm with it, one of those little chutes in the bowl at Sac might fill in just enough to ski a 400ft vert 8ft wide drift...

Ok i gotta stop otherwise I'm going to wet myself.

Gotta include some more stoke:

Heres some stoke from a couple years ago in that location:

And now some photos from this June at a nearby location:

THINK SNOW!

That was some interesting Oct. 20th riding indeed.
Here's a pic from the same excursion:

A little bony out of the wind pockets.

I'm not holding my breath. After three straight days of record high temperatures I have a hard time believing that any snow that falls tonight will stick for longer than about four seconds. I'll keep my fingers crossed, though.

ya i heard high of 91 today! fuck it wasnt even like that this summer.

**Eleventy** · 09-21-2009, 09:56 AM

I stand corrected.

Good to see a little white stuff up around Blackmore this a.m.,
even though it won't last. Pulled this crappy image from the MSU webcam
at 10:30 this morning.

TGR movie at the Emerson this Thurs.

IT'S SNOWING!!!

AND, it's supposed to keep snowing (in the mountains) for the next 5 days!

**jeremiahyawnson** · 10-26-2009, 04:53 PM

In an attempt to not bother the rest of the community with obvious posts and such I am going to just use this forum as my "I'm stoked out of my mind for skiing because the next five days have snow in the forecast, AND I really don't want to study" thread.

That being said, ditto, AND here's a re-post of all the semi-good pov footage I got last season:

Hopefully there will be more of that this season.

**Sirshredalot** · 10-26-2009, 06:12 PM

That's pretty good looking footage. What did you use to film?

**bertrenolds** · 10-26-2009, 06:40 PM

Nice cliff drop, man utah is lots of fun minus some BS morman rules. Anyone want a rail car, I mean double shot? You using a helmet cam with hard driver recorder? You don't have a camcorder right?

sick POV...are you using the GoPro cam? It looks very similar to what I'm running

**Norseman** · 10-26-2009, 10:01 PM

Hey JibbaJabba, my brother bought one of these.
Be fun to double up on the helmet footy for a chase scene or something.

It is a VIO POV 1.0, and it's sweet, this year I'm not going to mess around with all the different frame sizes and quality (assuming I leave myself enough space on the card every day... not likely). You should get the newer one (the orange one) it simplifies set up and has one less socket that can get dust in. Oh and it's also $100+ dollars cheaper now.

Thank you and VIO POV 1.0.

VIO POV1 uses SD/SDHC cards (flash cards).

Nope, using the VIO POV1, I think the GoPro is cheaper but I have definitely appreciated the ability to see what you're shooting while shooting it. As opposed to setting up, skiing all day, then go home and find out you had the camera pointed too far down, however I still did this when I crashed first run and didn't check... dumb.

You can also take out the recording device and use it like a view finder and point your head at people as they ski by. I did this the other day and it worked out pretty well. I'll have to put that up (after I get though the next 48 hrs of enginerding).

Still don't want to be productive, DAMN.
