MIZU’s XCAM DAILY RUN FILL IN FRI 24TH JUNE

Avatar

Thought that I’d test out the “Pole”, and give the XCAM Daily Run on spaz’s behalf!!!! - I didn’t know what the Groomers Pick was, so I just headed for Highnoon for a first run!!!! I’m sure that I was usin a VIO too!!!!! I may have had the settings wrong though??? ; ) -

Wednesday was def the pick from the look of spaz and tj’s vid, as thursday was as icy as, and friday was pretty similar bar a light dusting from the snow guns!!!!!

(Pay no attention to the lame boarding either!!!!! Just look at the snow, the blue sky and enjoy the tune!!!!!)  shaka

Curiously they don’t have a “Groomers Pick” anymore excaim

  From Thredbo’s site today.

Antons was the pick for the more advanced riders while the Cruiser area and High Noon looked good for the intermediates

So according to you (and maybe T-Spec) you were ripping for an intermediate. I think you could easily move to advanced level but you should check with a BW instructor before hitting Antons. rolleyes

Um… The easy way to tell what camera you were using is by how embarrassed you felt;
A plastic box on the end of a broom handle doesn’t get the same attention as a sexy minuscule lens on a carbon fibre pole with a monitor at the handle. (I do think one of the few applications GoPro looks good is as a PoleCam)

Great job Mizu!!!!!
I did add it to my website and playlist.

First lift? Looked like only patrol had been over it.

Yeah mate, I was gonna sticker the pole up but thought I’d wait and see what it looked like against the snow!!!!

And although its got some weight in it, it was easy to hold up also!!!! Its pretty long when fully extended and when held up from the handle a fair bit, it balances the weight of the camera nicely!!!!
