Skiing Mount Marcy: video

[adkeditor]

Yesterday a friend and I skied Mount Marcy. The trail was in great shape for skiing, but above tree line, the wind was fierce, and the summit was a complete whiteout. I made several short videos on the descent. I posted one of them on my Outtakes blog on the Adirondack Explorer website. It's the mellow 1.2-mile stretch along Phelps Brook.

I'm impressed with how steady the camera was held while filming.... or is there new software these days, which takes out the bumps.
