This past Saturday when we went to Kirkwood for the final time this season, I was completely prepared for Spring conditions and expecting to cruise around on freshly groomed corduroy. Surprise! There was six inches of new snow from the night before and no lift lines on a bluebird day. I couldn't stop smiling.

I paid for it when I forgot to put on sunblock. My face is still peeling, well, half of it is.

Going down a chute. Jon was learning how to use the camera and cut off video right as I get in the chute.

In some of the pictures, there's still snow on the lens from when I took a tumble in the snow, taking a boring video. The rest of the files wouldn't fit in a single email, so they're in a separate post.

Last Day at Kirkwood (part 2)

Here are the rest of the videos, continued from part 1. I mistakenly thought I could copy and paste the posterous-content markup and paste it in another post. It just shows up as text even though the HTML editing view shows the same markup. *shrug*

I'm also looking for a way to combine two of the automatically generated galleries in to one. Because of the order the files were attached in the email, with a video in the middle of the list, posterous created two galleries in a single post.

Jon going down the chute. Taking these videos is a learning experience. One, with the wide-ish angle lens, I need to get closer. Two, most of these videos are pretty boring, even to me. I think it would help if I chased him down the chute.

Jon. FS boardslide. Another learning opportunity. Sidney was figuring out how to take videos on my camera and accidentally ended it prematurely. The Ricoh GRD has great physical UI controls... but only for still pictures. The video capabilities are definitely a second class citizen on the list of features.

This is lame because I knew I was leaning too far back first thing, but couldn't correct it. Why couldn't Sidney have cut off the end of this one instead of Jon's? heh. After this video, I was so frustrated that I straight-lined the next two jumps in a row and finally got enough speed for a decent shifty+stalefish. You'll have to trust me :p There no evidence, naturally.
