The gang from SmugMug spent the last week up at Lake Tahoe hanging out and some people skiing/snowboarding and so forth.

Having just got my new 5D mkII, I decided to hit the slopes with it to test out the video...

HD Version here.

I can't believe you took that camera on the slopes! And you guys lucked that it snowed a bit!

How long have you been skiing?

And did I get it right? Heavenly, Nevada side? Stagecoach?

I'm lusting after powder!

***devbobo*** · Jan-30-2009, 03:27 PM #3

yeah, you're correct...we were staying just there on the bottom side of Stagecoach.

I've been skiing since I was 5.

Monday was definitely the best day, we had heaps of powder and it just went off.

Cool shot, looked like a good day with low traffic.

Nevada side Heavenly for sure, nice long run.

Andy · Jan-30-2009, 03:40 PM #5

it was sure fun - thanks David for skiing with me, too!

Dev, Great run.

How big was that file in the camera?

Not sure what Dev's file was, but my 1 min full 1080 files from the 5d run about 275-300mb per minute.
I had a 3:15 shot run about 935mb.

Smugmug beta will only let me load 500mb or less files.

**pathfinder** · Jan-30-2009, 08:43 PM #8

So an 8 Gb card can record close to ~24 minutes of video? - impressive!

You have to resize it. I had a 550Mb 2 minute clip that I had to resize in order to upload in HD.

Pathfinder - I'm pretty sure the clip will stop recording at 4GB. You can always hit record again though once it cuts you off.

dlplumer · Jan-31-2009, 06:40 AM #10

That was fun. Great shooting and nice skiing

***devbobo*** · Jan-31-2009, 10:26 AM #11

the original file was about 820mb, but after editing/exporting from iMovie...it was about 170mb.

***kdog*** · Jan-31-2009, 04:16 PM #12

That was awesome, David.

I can't believe you shushed the whole mountain while filming. Very impressive, and great production with the music. Wow.

Ok, now I want to see you do that on a mogul run.

Cheers,

I know you can resize to get under 500mb, was just pointing out the limit.
Id prefer they raise it to 1gb then have to resize all my 500mb+ raw clips.

Joel, thanks !

haha, don't know about a mogul run...my legs aren't what they were a few years ago.

But I have been investigating some mounting options, so that I could take it into the trees to ski some powder

At some point, the limit will be getting raised....but i'm not sure of the timing.

Thanks for the info.

I still love the fact you guys are letting us upload the 500mb files, anything more will be icing on the cake.

Great Clip! I imagine that would go extremely well with a James Bond music theme.

Way to heed those SLOW signs...

that was cool, glad a snow-plowing newbie didn't upset your run.
