Skiing is one of the activities that gets me in the flow. This time last year I was with my pro-skier buddy at the Kitzsteinhorn Glacier. It's a high-alpine skiing resort in the middle of spectacular mountains with a huge variety of slopes and terrains. The cable car gets you up to 3000 meters so you can experience great skiing conditions till the end of April. Some of the ski lifts in the upper area even operate during the summer.

The video was almost entirely shot while skiing. I used a GoPro4 mounted on a stabilization gimbal to get a smooth footage. I hope you'll enjoy my flow!

Some photos from the area:

This is awesome! great footage! sadly I am too old of a dog to learn and physically do that!

Super video!!! Und schöne Aufnahmen :-D

Danke Caroline!

wow!

WOW. I had so much fun watching the video!
I have never skied before. Actually it's hard to see Snow in my country.
I would like to ski once in my life. It's a great feeling. In particular, I loved the light refraction in the fourth photography!
Congratulations my dear friend.

Thanks @artizm! Skiing isn't so much fun for beginners. It takes weeks of practice and a good ski instructor to learn it to some degree.

Austrian Alps is most beautiful place for skiing. The camera GoPro4 with gimbal is very good idea. Good Job!

I miss skiing. We haven't skied in a few years, mostly because the family ski cottage got sold before we could stop it from happening. It was nice to have a place you could just go to and your stuff was waiting for you. As soon as I have to plan and organize rentals I get too bored and put it off.

This looks an amazing place to ski as well! Wonderful video, it makes me want to ski so bad.

I'm not so enthusiastic about skiing any more as I was in my twenties. It can be quite a hurdle until you actually stand on the slope, and if the weather is not perfect or it's too many people out there then you might just ask yourself WTF am I doing here.

I really liked the video. What speed you have! and very beautiful movement! Bravo!

Bisher bin ich immer nur Langlauf gefahren, aber Abfahrt sieht noch spaßiger aus. Werde ich sicher auch früher oder später auch ausprobieren :P

Ja, es ist schon was ganz anderes als Langlauf!

That looks like fun... but also very tiring.

Great photos, especially the sun and the mountain.

You are good at skiing. I would like to learn too. Lovely photos!
