The Vimeo Video School has put together an excellent guide on shooting winter action sports (skiing, snowboarding) and takes their own lessons learned from shooting the Winter X-Games in Aspen.

If you’re looking to visit Colorado and a bit short on skiwear (maybe you live somewhere tropical) then check out Mountain Threads. This local business of renting jackets, pants, gloves, hats, etc. is not a new concept (common in Europe) but fairly new to Colorado. Prices are fairly reasonable and the convenience can’t be beat. […]
If you haven’t noticed, there’s been plenty of traffic (along with snow) in the mountains. The long-running SkiCarpool.org has always worked as a great venue to find a ride up to the slopes. Be sure to check it out if you’re looking for a carpool buddy…
