yannicklarouche asked: The session sheet are great! Now that the season is ending, it would be very cool to have a personal season sheet!
Great idea! I don’t think we’ll be able to pull this off for this season, but perhaps for next year.
Ski Wear for Beginners
This week we have a guest post from www.highoctanesport.co.uk which sells soft and hard goods for winter sports:
———————-
Skiing is one of the most exciting sports out there. Not only does it give you a full body workout but it’s also the reason why so many of us jet off to the French Alps, the beautiful heights of British Colombia or the snowy Swiss mountains every year for an exhilarating ski holiday.
The views are breathtaking, the sport is full of adrenaline and it’s a great way to get fit if you are looking to work out every muscle in your body. Skiing works on the core area, the lower leg, your knee flexors and extensors, the foot and ankle group and also the gluteal muscles.
As well as action-packed and challenging for your body, skiing can also be dangerous if you are not practiced. If you are new to the sport of skiing, it’s important to have the right skiing gear to keep you protected from the elements whilst you are out on the slopes.
Here are the ski wear must-haves for beginners:
- Ski goggles – these are essential. You must not ski without them. Ski goggles are designed to protect your eyes when you are out on the slopes, not only from the dangers of ice, snow and wind but also from UV rays which are very damaging. Most ski goggles come with UV protection and can give you the best vision whilst you’re skiing.
- Thermal base layers – although you will warm up once you get into the swing of skiing, temperatures can be as low as minus 6 degrees Celsius when you’re at a ski resort. Thermal layers are lightweight layers which you wear under your mid layers and they will keep you warm.
- Ski jacket and ski pants – specialist skiing clothing designed for the slopes is essential. They have water resistance, moisture wicking properties and are robust enough to absorb shock when you fall.
- Ski gloves – having the right gloves will keep your hands protected when you’re out in the snow. Specialist gloves are designed to keep your hands warm whilst allowing you to grip better.
- Winter hat – beanies are the most popular hats for snow sports. Never underestimate the importance of wearing a hat when you’re in such cold weather conditions. The sharp winds when you’re in action can cause discomfort in your ears so keeping them warm is a must!

digital64 asked: Will the feature to record more than 15 second videos ever be added?
For the moment, no. Having 15 seconds really forces you to capture a good moment on the snow. And there have been some great videos taken!
