panhead_pete 27 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Spent a few hours searching for a mate who didnt pop out of the trees after a run. I followed a track afew hundred meters out of bounds and heading away from the resort and found him hiking away from the resort in chest deep powder totally exhausted. If i hadnt found him so soon I fear what would have happened to him, he would have spent the night out for sure. Damn thats a SCARY story. Kudos for going to look for him. I've wondered a couple times when is it time to go get patrol. Luckliy both times the guys have been OK after long hike outs. Link to post Share on other sites
gozaimaas 61 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 He was down in the gully outside heavenly view i think its called. Outside the boundary by a long long way and heading away. Scary shit. Link to post Share on other sites
Whitebear 1 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 It's so easy to get disoriented in those conditions. Two mates and I did similar a few years ago off the peak of Isola. Ended up sliding/hiking 18 kms, found a pig farmer who gave us a lift back to the resort. Scared us shitless. Glad your mate is ok. Link to post Share on other sites
gozaimaas 61 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 I got taken out by this guy early this morning at mach 1 speed. Looking at the vid he saw me fly past him, tried to catch me and when I turned in to hit the 80cm wall of powder on the side he took me out. He barely even got an edge to slow down.Snapped my gopro mount so I spent the next 20 mins looking for that. Link to post Share on other sites

And good to hear your riding bud made it back thanks to you. awesome. Looks all good Gozaimaas can download Cineform studio from GoPro site for free, has a few features one is being able to cut the clip before uploading. Screen grabs are available from Windows movie maker, also free, and so I assume also available from the Mac free software. Link to post Share on other sites

And good to hear your riding bud made it back thanks to you. awesome. With the Black Edition you are able to set it to photo + video mode, so you can take a photo every half a second if you want, and still record HD video (though not at the highest speed settings) 1 Link to post Share on other sites
