Here’s an excellent video of the guys over at CloudGate Ariel Cinematography showcasing their innovative approach to filming ski races: flying drones with video cameras attached. The result: a seamless, single shot overhead, alongside, and even in front of racers as they travel down the hill. Check out the footage as they film a practice […]

Out of those, Elyse Saugstad is the only female big mountain skier (and currently getting quite high in the rankings). I had a chance to ask Elyse some […]
Seth Medina just sent me a highlight video he put together this season from some days at Vail, Breckenridge, Keystone, and Arapahoe Basin (along with backcountry footage from Vail and Breck). It seems like the season was ending just yesterday… (oh wait, Arapahoe Basin is still open this weekend, so… it’s not over.)
It costs resorts hundreds of thousands, sometimes millions of dollars in materials (water, air, pipes) and time (employees, machinery) and National Geographic Channel goes behind-the-scenes with “Snow Park Technologies” to show how world-class, high-intensity snow competition courses are constructed.
