A POV skiing tour of Steamboat Ski Resort | no talking, no music

[@garyreneker6226]

Said it before, love the no talk, no music vids. Just POV letting me feel like I'm there on those skis. Thanx

[@coloradoplankers]

Will do the Epic resorts this season… couldn’t afford both passes

[@rhythm6260]

I love this content! No music, no nonsense. I feel like I’m right there with you. Great work. I’m using this video to map out our Jan 2025 trip to Steamboat.

[@coloradoplankers]

Thanks for watching! I hope you have a great trip!

[@ronaston4574]

I just became ware of your videos on 10/25/2024. They’re really great! Very informative, no annoying music, great sound and they really give the viewer a great skier’s perspective of each of the trails that you capture. I also like how you show the viewer in advance, the route that you’re about to take. You have nothing to apologize for about the quality of any of the videos that I’ve seen so far. Keep making great videos like the ones that you’ve done so far!

[@coloradoplankers]

Thanks so much for the kind words!

[@jessiezhao1520]

Love this, especially the highlighted map before each run, making my way to Steamboat in a couple weeks, super helpful way to get around the whole mountain!

[@golfingelk]

I love this video format, including the trail map highlights and run name notes is extremely helpful!

[@coloradoplankers]

Glad to hear it! I just filmed one at Copper yesterday. I’m perfectionist with my videos, skiing, and wheeling… I just want it all to be the best I can do. I still have work to do, but I feel it’s attainable so I’ll keep making videos here.

[@billwallace7294]

I am thinking about going to Steamboat with a ski club in January 2025. Never skiied out west before. This gave me a very good insight into what I might expect to encounter. At my age blues and groomed blacks are about as adventurous as I want to go. Excellent video! Thanks!!

[@coloradoplankers]

You’ll have a great time!

[@williambaird24]

This video got me so pumped for ski season to start 🙌 🔥

[@coloradoplankers]

Heck yeah!

[@Allen-by6ci]

This was great.. really helps get your head back into the skiing mindframe... looking forward to seeing more :)

[@coloradoplankers]

I'm glad it helps, I'll be working on new videos soon… just switched the Jeep from offroad to skiing mode.

[@garydodson3858]

Make more like this. Really enjoyed it. thanks.

[@coloradoplankers]

Should have another tomorrow! 25 minutes of Copper Mountain. Still improving them tho.

[@timm4930]

Thanks for this video ! I am from the UK and looking for next years destination, me and my son are both boarders , 60 and 25 years young and long cruiser blues hit the spot for us ! We were in Park City last year which was great but not so many cruisers there , Steamboat looks to fit the bill and your video confirms this to us 🤠 🏂 🎉

[@coloradoplankers]

Glad it was helpful! I’m getting so far behind on the offroad/overland channel that I may need to focus on that this winter, but we will have guides on here one day. Thanks for watching!

[@edmonger1052]

Nice, I like it. No talking and no music is good, and I like how you highlight the runs on the trail map. Keep it up and I will watch more.

[@coloradoplankers]

Thanks for the feedback. Will do, I’ll get some at Copper and winter park soon and I’ll up the speed a bit as I’m getting my skiing legs back.

[@jordsmords]

as a ski instructor shouldn't you already have your legs? @@coloradoplankers

[@coloradoplankers]

@@jordsmords I’ve been on a hiatus due to my new career. I have only been part time while doing that… less and less slope time has caused weakness. Still, most people wouldn’t notice if they watched me ski, but I notice.

[@jordsmords]

oh i noticed. couldn't miss it@@coloradoplankers

[@coloradoplankers]

@@jordsmords I’m sure you could from a pov lol

[@golfingelk]

Also I wouldn't worry about the tree/bump skiing being too shaky for these videos, I think the image stabilization is good enough that the POV would still be great for those runs too. I actually find those to be the most helpful for getting to "scope out" new zones before I get a chance to ski them!

[@coloradoplankers]

I will start filming black runs in POV format eventually. Black run POVs will likely have me following one of my instructor buddies. They’re all still on epic and I’m on ikon so it’s a next year thing (I’ll get both passes in 24/25 since my work will finally be on 11 days on call with 4 days off call [currently I’m on call 24/7 365 days/yr]). This year is mostly about trying new things and growing this channel… however, I’m going to settle in to POV videos and various resort guides mostly.

[@res_ipsa-REX]

Great footage. Offers great terrain recon for groomers. And yes, smooth is much better if you want people to watch. No one likes to get motion sickness

[@coloradoplankers]

Thanks, I’m an offroad youtuber so I have good trail cams… stabilization has gotten so good. Thanks for watching!

[@RyanKassel]

Heading to Steamboat shortly. Thanks for the intel ahead of time! Great job

[@coloradoplankers]

Awesome! I’ll film more in detail vids of various resorts as I know them all pretty good (especially the Epic resorts), but people seem to like these so I’ll keep making them.

[@gashed8377]

Another like here for your format. Gives me a great feel for what to expect - well done!

[@coloradoplankers]

Thank you! I’m glad people like them. Next year, I’ll start doing top to bottom difficult runs too.

[@neilwatt5797]

Absolutely loved that. Grew up skiing Steamboat so watching you brought back memories of some of the slopes. Would def watch other resorts 👍🏻 good work.

[@coloradoplankers]

I will definitely make more POVs and will probably make them of different lengths. I’m doing a few different types of videos this year, but I like making POVs so they’ll continue on. Not sure all the other video types will tho.

[@davidbudge2259]

Enjoy watching your videos. I also like how you include the stats of each run. Good job 👍

[@coloradoplankers]

Glad you like them! I should have one of Copper tomorrow. Still trying to get them right.

[@CathyBill]

I grew up skiing Steamboat every year -first time was in ‘83…then every year until ‘89… my husband and I have gone several times since 2012.. my favorite ski resort. We plan on going back next year. Thanks for the videos..my favorite run is Cowboy Coffee (love the scenery) and Why Not (just a fun run)… yes, continue making these videos!

[@coloradoplankers]

Awesome! I’ll keep making them and I’ll make a real skiing guide on Steamboat this month. Let me know how I do with that.

[@Billa5G]

Going in two weeks for first time. This is helpful! Good job!

[@coloradoplankers]

Glad to hear it! On my offroad channel, I made skiing guides of Keystone that were well received. I’ll likely film a few different types of guide evolving those Keystone vids on Steamboat soon (next week). Then I’ll try to make the ones that people like on other resorts next season. I’ll do more POVs this season tho.

[@mikehare7867]

Great Job, Thanks Much!

[@coloradoplankers]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kosycat1]

Man i hate the slow signs the offen pose more of a hazard than they avoid lol 😂 😂 especially on icy days all the good snow gets swept off..,

[@coloradoplankers]

Lol, I get that, but there’s no slow signs on the steeper stuff 😉

[@chrisshort2751]

Great Video. What camera did you use to record?

[@coloradoplankers]

Thank you! GoPro hero 11 black on helmet mount. I’m still dialing in the settings and trying to ski in a way that keeps it stable.

[@chrisshort2751]

Thanks. Trying to decide on the Hero 11 or 12. The 11 in your videos looks great for what I’ll be using it for.

[@coloradoplankers]

I use GoPros mostly as a trail cam and high risk cam in the off-road videos. I use a 10, 11, 11mini… they’re all pretty similar, but there is a difference from my 7 (old trail cam) to 10/11. Good luck!
