Awesome to see someone who knows how to film properly (Johnathan Buckhouse) film you flying down the mountain allowing you to concentrate on your skiing rather than your cameras and filming. Epic footage! I would easily say this was the best flick you made on this trip to Colorado. Great to see the guest appearance by Johnathan Buckhouse and his crew.

Loveland Valley is the best beginner area in Colorado. Completely separate from the main area. Perfect for developing confidence, multiple lifts so no huge increases in steepness or crowd size, until you want to graduate to the big hill. When everything is open, the trees on the north side of the highway are awesome 😎
