    This is awesome. The mirrored lenses are clutch for seeing out the front door from our perspective.

    Thanks guys. If the weather stays on course and I don't fuck it up, on thursday I'll be speedflying in the sitski from 9990. Video to come!

    Got that vid on the PM Gear homepage, Andy.
    I also got some sitski cover shot stoke today from Brian that I thought you'd like.

    Sweet! Love the choke stoke.

    BTW, find the rubber gasket, or use some electical tape on your GoPro connector so it stops making that clacking noise all the time.

    In any case, if you're ever really in this situation make sure you at least bargain in a couple of fluffers.

    I agree

    I don't know why the local areas reported less than a foot? I know every time I stopped it was somewhere between the top of the boot and the knee. Regardless, Sunday was special. Maybe it was because it has been a bit since the last good snow, but that powder day stood out to me. Thanks for the POV. You have been a marketing windfall for the Canyons. Now tell them to reopen Mid-Mountain trail this summer!!

    Hey Pat, thanks for posting the cover of me.

    FYI I am riding a 174 stiff Bro on a groomer at -25c / -18.4F

    Sorry no faceshots that day, I would do a pro callout on Andy, but he really is better!

    Great edit and song choice. My childhood ski-buddy has been sit-skiing since his accident at 17. Watching guys like you and him tear it up really helps the rest of us keep things in perspective and remember what skiing is all about.

    I've got a couple of them but they make it almost impossible to take the helmet off the mount again, especially on the hill. I have to take it off if I'm not on soft powder as the bumps just put to much pressure on the mount and rips it off, already lost one gopro that way.

    The clacking is annoying, this is from today, turn the sound off.

    This weekend brought a pretty sweet storm through and dropped some of the best skiing this season. I need to make a compilation of me crashing into trees, it's been a recurring theme lately. Which is dumb because I'm completely screwed if I end up in a well.

    Awesome! I hope the Canyons feel they got their money's worth out of this gig. Because it has been a blast to watch. I've never paid so much attention to Park City's third wheel. Now you need to line up the resort you want to ski next year and get them to offer you a similar deal. I vote for Mammoth or Squaw. Maybe UnofficialSquaw will sponsor you? I'm sure they'd love to have footage of you hucking your meat off Palisades and other silly lines.

    PS, put some tape around the gopro to stop that click-clacking.

    I'm jealous, Andy.

    Hoping the weather plays the game in the morning. Looking good for some speedflying from 9990 at Canyons before the storm comes in later in the day and the wind gets too strong.

    Hooking up two gopros for hopeful sitski speedflying stoke.
