Skiing OUTRAGE in Foot of Fresh Powder ♦♦ Okemo, VT (Nordica Unleashed Demo)

[@jl4921]

Hehe, "the tender January legs" and Pow with no base. Way to go east coast!

[@greasyrails2571]

Looks fun I did it before but there’s a lot of line options the more right you stick the tighter it is

[@Type1FunDay]

Yeah, actually on that day all the untouched snow was on skiers left. It was early in the season and legs were cooked. 😅 Lets hope for more days like that. :)

[@greasyrails2571]

@@Type1FunDay for sure dude. I love that side of okemo also Jackson gore got some good glades. We skied in okemo today was nice

[@marcofrey2903]

This looks totally skiable and tons of fun! Probably only a double black when its crusty, haha.

[@skiwithgenerationsnow]

right, they grade them for standard north east conditions, sheets of ice

What did you think of the Nordica unleashed ??

[@jl4921]

I studied quite a bit about the ski before I rented them. So I kind of knew what to expect ... and at the end of the day I BOUGHT them! I thought they were just too good. I am coming from Nordica Soulrider 87 which I absolutely loved as a ski. (it gives back a lot of energy at the end of turns, carves well for what kind of ski it is, and overall for all-mountain it is really fun ski). I just sometimes wished it was tad stiffer. The Unleashed provided me with everything I was missing on the Soulrider. But saying that the ski felt different, and It took a few runs to adjust. But I loved it. When in varying conditions, it ate up anything you threw at it. We went from powder to small-moguls, from chunky trails to groomers, and woods. I could carve it, and in chunky and steep I could keep much higher speed than I could on the Soulrider, as the ski provided lot more stability and thus comfort. So overall I am pretty happy with it. I think the biggest weakness of the ski on that day, were my legs. : D

@@jl4921 thanks for the reply. I have been researching on this ski as well just need to demo it. Do you think the bump in width size from the soul rider was manageable. The 90 doesn’t have the same build as the 98

[@jl4921]

@@christophermagnuson1270 I could add though: during the first few runs I felt that i had to work more for going from edge to edge. It wasnt as quick as on the 87s. But after several runs in, I completely adjusted, and even forgot about that it feels different.

[@jl4921]

@@christophermagnuson1270 It seems that one message from me didnt make it through. I was also mentioning that perhaps weight and style of skiing plays a role. I am 210lb, and was often maxing out what the ski could offer. So when looking at the Unleashed, i didnt actually think about the 90 at all. But it didnt take long to adjust.

what camera do you have bro?

[@skiwithgenerationsnow]

We have multiple... I think this was shot with GoPro 9 / the intro probably with iPhone X :D

[@eaglesfan1792]

@@skiwithgenerationsnow what camera would you recommend?

[@skiwithgenerationsnow]

@@eaglesfan1792 I am the guy skiing in this video and I have Gopro11 and Insta360, would I recommend them? Here is my experience... GOPRO - has a lot of bad rep for their overheating, crashing, and lagging etc, which actually happened to me several times but only in summer. Never in winter. The newer models have better stabilization, and they now promise way longer battery life. The thing I like about is that it seems indestructible and waterproof. I had it fall at high speed it rolled on the ground forever but the camera didn't have a mark on it and was still running. I mount it on top of my windsurfing mast, so it gets smacked around and under water, and mountain bike, and it really seems it can take anything. The one I have can shoot in 60fps and 4K, in multiple wide angels. And that is pretty much all i need it for. I had to get the "mod with mic" because when it is windy, the default camera cannot handle it. INSTA360 - this is fancy type of shooting as it records the entire sphere. But that also means you have to go and do two rounds of "post".. first get it out of the sphere footage - frame it and export it, and then do the editing from the export (unless you do only shorts on your phone). The lenses stick out and can be scratched too easily, to replace them, you have to send it back to the company. You can buy lense covers, but in my case at least it has an effect on how it stitches the two lenses together - not so seamless. So either way not perfect. It shoots in so called 5700k, but but after framing it I think you are at 3800k. Also this is Chinese company, Chinese software, and Chinese product all over your phone and computer, so if you care about those things, its good to keep it in mind. I have a bit of distrust towards this product. : ) I think it comes down to what you want to shoot, or what kind of footage you hope to have. If you want to shoot someone else (follow ups) or POV shots, the Gopro might be good enough. If you want to shoot yourself, then the 360 cams do great job erasing the stick you hold. Gopro has one - I think it is called MAX - but i dont have much experience with that one. Here are some videos you can check out where I used both of those... CHAMONIX: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmKuYoCmhrKCj5o HUNTER: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpqQmXlvl9qJmNE -- where I am talking, it is usually GoPro, when I it's from above or behind me, its the Insta360 hope this helps a bit. .
