In a mere two weeks, I will be on the slopes of
Alta, or perhaps Snowbird, enjoying my first day of skiing this season. It has been a long dry, skiless year for me,
which is quite unusual and downright tragic when you think about it. I mean, I’m used to a dozen or so ski days a year,
but in the last couple of years, as professional life asserts itself, that’s been reduced to jut a handful. Sad.
But no matter. I was inspired as I started my mental planning for this imminent trip to bring along a video
camera and perhaps do some video blogging from the slopes. What inspired me was this rather fine series of video blog
posts from Ridertech, a company and Web site that I
had never heard of before, but which produces some rather decent videos, even if they make too liberal use of
Google maps video. But here we are on a quiet Friday, and you may be planning your own ski trip soon, and you might
just find these little video bits as enjoyable as I did.
