Pebble Creek/Contour

Here's the video I made of our epic trip to Pebble Creek.

The Lift

So a few things. The Skyline lift had been down for about a week before it got fixed which was the day we went up. So obviously the top half was super great. You can see in the video Tyler going down Outback, and it was so nice and powdery. Not perfect because we weren't the very first ones up there, but it still had that "untouched" feel to it. Sadly enough we were only able to enjoy it for half of the day, as soon as we came out after lunch, it had broken down.

Contour Roam

This was my first use of my Contour Roam. I was using the Goggle Mount on the outside of my helmet. As you can see in the video, it worked fairly well. I like the idea of it because then I didn't have to have a permanent mount stuck on my helmet, and because it was so easy to change between anybody wearing goggles. The leash was nice in case it fell of, even though that didn't seem very likely because it was so solid on there. The only downside that I have seen is mostly noticeable when Tyler wears it and it is a bit shakier on him. One thing that I did forget to do (and you probably saw this in the video) is use the laser alignment to level out the view. I have also thought about putting something over the microphone because while going down the hill it jut picks up the wind and is sort of annoying. 
Other than those few things, I was impressed with the camera, thought the mount was easy to use and I'm excited to use it in the future.
