Thanks CoopsCrabShack! December is always a busy month with year-end real estate business related stuff and getting ready to teach a lot during the holiday season. But I plan to film/post more after the first of the year.
Hey Ted, found and have been watching your videos for the past couple of weeks preparing for first trip back to Breck (from PA) in 10 yrs. Only been there twice and probably only ever skied 10% of trails, mostly blues. Thanks for posting such informative videos. That and your amazing talent has kept me watching for hours at a time. Can't believe the way you float over and through crazy terrain! I I now have plenty of notes as to what blacks I should be able to ski, and which to avoid. Also gave me the idea to get an action cam to capture my trip to share with friends and family who can't make the trip. Awesome stuff, keep it up. -Any videos out there somewhere of you skiing??? (taken by someone else) Would really like to see you skiing and hopefully pick up some tips just from watching. Thanks!
Hi Ted! Flying out tomorrow to ski Breck Saturday. Hopefully conditions this year are as good as last year! Hope all is well, was looking for an early season video from you but had to settle for Mr. Buckhouse's.
Great to see the new video for the season!! As always you make great footage. I like this style of video you made this year, it opens up good ideas for connections on runs. Looking forward to this style of video, keep up the good work!! Thanx!!!
Cool video. I like both formats - the single run videos, and this format is cool when appropriate (conditions change, new terrain opening, etc.) One thing to notice is the vastly different color saturation between the Hero7 & Hero4 as evidenced by the Breck Stables barn @ 31:20
Hi Paul, good to hear from you! Several factors probably come into play for the difference in saturation between the cameras. One is obviously...that they are different. The 7 should have better color science behind it. Also, I have not color corrected anything since March and am a little rusty on how to do it. And finally, the camera on my chest is color corrected to pick up details in the snow. The one on my pole is corrected to pick up everything else.
@@BreckSnowPro I figured you were on top of it, and it seems you certainly are :) On the off chance you weren't aware of the large discrepancy, I just wanted you to be aware in case it helped in any future videos. Keep 'em coming - they're always great!
@Paul Seabury Thanks and will do Paul! If it keeps snowing like it has been, I intend to focus this season on filming more challenging terrain than I have in previous years.
Your videos are really great, and you make even the hard runs look so effortless. Concise and effective, definitely a fan. I'm going to be hitting the slopes in a few days, do you have any suggestions for the easiest black runs? I've been getting quite confident with all the blues last winter and want to try a black diamond or two, what are the easiest black diamond runs I should try to get my feet wet on the more advanced runs? Thanks!
Hey ted, new to the channel love the videos. Pumped for this season. Wondering if you could do a quick video on what equipment you use? See you out on the slopes
@PH14 - Do you mean the audio/video equipment or ski gear? For the Audio/Video stuff, others have asked this as well and I intend to shoot a video covering this at some point. I may post it on another channel though. I'm not sure how subscribers here might respond to a non-ski-run related video. I lost subscribers when I tried posting mountain bike ride through fall foliage videos. As for my ski gear, I think what works for me may not be the best choice for others. And just FYI, this video is shot with a GoPro Hero7 Black on my chest and Hero4 Black on my pole. Audio is through a Zoom H2n in my pocket and an external mic, I'm not sure which.
We have been talking about making a trip to Breckenridge & Keystone since its part of our Tahoe pass. I found your channel while doing research for a trip. We are looking at a 5 day getaway in either February or March. When do you think would be best for snow and weather? Love the views and information you are putting out, keep em coming
@gary dahl Thanks! Snow conditions and weather vary from year to year. But if I were booking a trip here around the dates you have in mind, I would probably do so after President's Day weekend and before spring break. Sometime between February 19 and March 2 would be a good target range.
Love Breck and love your video's... by far the best ones to watch if you're preparing to ski breck and are not very familiar with the terrain. would like to see the best way to get from peak 9 to peak 7. have a group of intermediate skiers and last time we tried columbine but some of the flats were difficult for folks in the group. what is pathfinder like??
Oh, you made the mistake of taking the Columbine catwalk all the way from the Vista Haus. No-no-no-no. When coming from the Peak 8 SuperConnect, the recommended route (the route I've used) is to not take Columbine. Instead, what I do is I ski down to Peak 8 Base, typically on Spruce but sometimes on Springmeier (Springmeier is the intermediate route down). Then I take the Rocky Mountain SuperChair from Peak 8 Base. Then, from the Rocky Mountain SuperChair, take Columbine past the T-Bar to either Claimjumper or Pioneer. This route also works if headed to Peak 6. (If you're going to Peak 6, you go to Pioneer, ski down a bit and take the Peak 6 Parkway to your left, which will cross over to Wirepatch. You then go down a hill on Wirepatch, and then take a cutoff to your left which will take you straight over to the Zendo Chair).
Hi Ted. Thank you so much for the videos it makes navigating the mountain so much more enjoyable for our one week there each year. Definitely enjoyed the longer video. I was wondering which high alpine run would be best one to try first. Last year we were on Pika but were hoping to try some more difficult terrain up there this year but don’t want to get on to something over our heads to begin with. Thanks for everything your videos are the best !
@Mike K - Imperial Ridge is comparable to Pika, both are often groomed. Ptarmigan, right next to Pika, has similar topography to Pika but is not typically groomed. You might enjoy the Reverie and Bliss on Peak 6 as well. Thanks for the feedback!
Hey Ted thank you for all you do!! This is our first season in colorado and loved your suggestion for Silverthorne. We are thinking of doing your peak 8 to peak 9 for beginners, in that video you mention going from 9 to 8 but the only video I found is with expert runs. Is that the only way? Thank you!!
@Doug - I was probably talking about going from the top of A-Chair to the mid-load of the Snowflake chair-lift and this video is in the play-lists. But having said that, I don't actually do this often. Most of the time, I catch a bus from the bottom of the Beaver Run chair to the bottom of the gondola or the Snow-flake chair instead. Using a bus is faster and easier on most beginners than the traverse involved with the A-Chair to Snowflake route.
Love the videos. My dad, my friend and I are visiting Breck in early January. My dad and I love above treeline stuff, but my friend can’t handle double blacks. Any suggestions for easier bowls or above treeline runs we could all go on together?
is there any reason why C chair and A chair have been closed? It seems like the past few years ive been to breck, they have been closed. I know they are really slow chairs but i always liked riding them to get to some of the areas of peak 9 and do some runs. if you could find a reason, that would be amazing
Dude! I love your videos they are awesome and super informative on breck terrains! Keep it up👍 I noticed the focus was shifting quite a bit...What action cam are you using? Those new G.Pro 7 have amazing features!
The camera on my chest in this video is the GoPro Hero7 Black. The one on my pole is a Hero4 Black. I don't think GoPros have the kind of focus that shifts in and out. I'm wondering if you might be noticing something else going on, like an artifact of the "HyperSmooth Video Stabilization" which is the in-camera electronic image stabilization that is a new feature in the Hero7 Black. Does anyone else have any thoughts on this matter? If so, please let me know. And thanks!
@@BreckSnowPro Your picture quality is excellent! Maybe its on my end.....It just seems to go out of focus or become blurred for a split second before re focusing.... Nonetheless I love your vids!!
@@BreckSnowPro I also had a question! I'd say I'm an intermediate skier and ski very confidently on peak 7 blues and others I have yet tackled any diamond runs....I know it's probably mostly mental on my part LOL! What single blacks would you recommend for a first timer without moguls?
@James L. Thanks! And I don't think you are wrong about the "focus" issue. I thought I noticed something weird going on at my end too. My best guess is that it is a glitch with the EIS (electronic image stabilization) of the Hero7 Black. Spruce, when it is groomed, which is most of the time, is one of the easier single blacks. Others are American and Doublejack.
@@BreckSnowPro you can try using a higher bitrate when processing the video, also use low sharpness, a low ISO value (over 800 is just terrible, lock it in lower, brighter the day the lower the value), match shutter speed with the FPS you're shooting at. Could definitely be the EIS that causes the artifacts also.
great video, i know that this is 30 min long, but maybe for the next shorter videos use the hero 7's 4k60fps? it just looks to smooth to not record in 4k!!! im going up to breck in about a month thanks for making these videos very helpful
@Jtwaves My favorite "wide open glade skiing" is probably Ore Bucket. The Burn is less open, more challenging, and one needs to keep in mind that they are merging with an intermediate trail that kids love the right side of when getting to the bottom of it. As for trying 4K/60, I hope others will weigh in on the topic. It would save me the time of trying to figure it out myself. But, my thought right now is to go the other way and try shooting in 1080p/60 instead of 2.7K/60 which maxed out the Hero7's specs for Protune on, linear field of view, and "HyperSmooth" EIS. Another viewer thought the footage looked like that camera was moving in and out of focus. And I see what he means. But I don't think the focus on GoPros actually moves in and out. I think that the out of focus look was probably the "HyperSmooth" failing to keep up. And I hope that perhaps shooting at 1080p/60fps might help solve this problem. I also have another chest mount on order.
@@BreckSnowPro thanks!, ya i understand the concerns about the settings, i heard something a while ago online from a gopro employee that the hypersmooth doest really work well in low lit areas (he said to bump iso up to 400 or 800) and that it tends to blur when filming in the dark but that still doesnt really fix it. If you want i can send you the settings that gopro used to shoot their promo. (this promo th-cam.com/video/G9KDqfpCgws/w-d-xo.html&t= )
@Jtwaves Wow, the pros really do shoot good stuff! I'd like to try whatever settings you recommend and think you could just post them here for others to try as well. I shot this video in 2.7K/60, with a "linear" field of view, stabilization "on", low light "off", and Protune "on". My Protune settings were: Shutter "Auto", EV Comp "-1", ISO Min "100", ISO Limit "400", White Balance "Native", Sharpness "Low", and Color "Flat". And I color correct and edit with DaVinci Resolve.
@@BreckSnowPro yeah it was more of me trying to find the settings again. Settings: Protune: on Sharpness: low Iso min: 100 Iso max: 100 (bump up in dark conditions i presume) Color profile: GoPro Field of View: Standard 4k60 Those are the settings that the employee said they shot on, but i can imagine that they had some great editors really color correct all of the shots. Hope this helps anyone.
This is a very old page that I have not looked at myself in 15+ years. But it is the best I have right now: www.amenta.com/ski/skiknow.htm I will get this updated before the end of the season.
In the meantime my season pass to Copper has been a disappointment at best...the new Eagle is not running with no start up date stated in the near future and the Flyer still hasn't even hung chairs. The new management is a failure and an EPIC pass will be purchased next year...or maybe just Loveland for this old AT skier.
In most of your videos I have noticed the lack of people in most of your runs do most people stick to the beginner runs or is it due to the time of day in which you film?
Hey Ted. I booked my first ever ski trip to breckenridge for the first of february. I have rossignol experience 75s and I am an intermediate skier. Will I be able to go through any bowls with my skis or do I need big powder skis? And do you have a recommended rental place?
@Tyler Blair 75s are probably a bit narrow *IF* we get some powder days while you are here. If not, I'd say stick with what you are accustomed to if you like them. My primary all mountain ski is the E88. But I know plenty of instructors which prefer narrower skis and others that prefer them wider. There really is no "right" answer here. There is a "Breckenridge Sports" at the bottom of all the major base areas which is convenient. And there are about a dozen other shops around town if you want to find a specific ski to try and Breckenridge Sports does not have it.
@@BreckSnowPro thanks again ted. I figured I will pack my regular skis on the plane and if I need some powder skis I will rent. :) I'm staying at the village, is it an alright place?
@Tyler Blair - Yes, The Village is conveniently located about 100 yards off of Main Street, is right next to the Quicksilver chair-lift, and has lots of on-site amenities.
@@BreckSnowPro thanks again, you are honestly the reason I booked this trip. Your videos have really got me mentally prepared. Maybe if you are giving lessons still I can hit you up. If this goes the way I hope, I plan on buying a condo as well so maybe you can help me out all around haha! 5 stars man
Hey I'm going to be in Breck with some friends January 22-25th and we are going to be making our first TH-cam video. We would love to collaborate with you and make some turns! If this sounds cool to you then please reply and we can figure it out from there, thanks!
@David Little - I don't know what my schedule might be like when you are here. But if weather is good for filming and I don't have any other obligations, I be happy to meet up with you. Go to BreckSnowPro.com and you will see my contact info at the bottom of the page.
I love the content! I was wondering if you could post more often because I love watching your videos but if you are busy that's fine.
Thanks CoopsCrabShack! December is always a busy month with year-end real estate business related stuff and getting ready to teach a lot during the holiday season. But I plan to film/post more after the first of the year.

It's great to see you back on the snow, Ted! Your videos got me through the summer. These conditions are epic!
Great video.. we are visiting Breck for the first time in February. You are getting us all very excited. Keep up the good work 😊🇬🇧🇺🇸
14:00, I did not realize you could do that... (well then again, I've only been to Breck twice so far...)
I will be visiting Breck the second week of December and this video got me pumped up. I love this channel. Thanks for the video.
Hi Ted! Flying out tomorrow to ski Breck Saturday. Hopefully conditions this year are as good as last year! Hope all is well, was looking for an early season video from you but had to settle for Mr. Buckhouse's.
Watching your videos informs me a lot more on the mountain. Thanks so much!
We will be up there mid Jan. Like seeing all the different runs!
Yeah getting back on the slopes! I hope I see you up there!
Great video, would like to see more this one.
Great to see the new video for the season!! As always you make great footage. I like this style of video you made this year, it opens up good ideas for connections on runs. Looking forward to this style of video, keep up the good work!! Thanx!!!
Thank you! And I will do more of these multiple run videos this year.
My boyfriend and I will be there next week. We would love a lesson!
Great! I keep info on how to book up to date at the bottom of the page at BreckSnowPro.com

Great videos. Look forward to the next one.
Nice run! I will have to add that to my route. I usually do t bar and make my way to peak six. This will make it way longer of a route!
Going to Breck first time in Jan!
I found your channel and going thru vids
Awesome video man! Keep them coming this year!
Your videos are really great, and you make even the hard runs look so effortless. Concise and effective, definitely a fan.

Thanks!
Spruce, American, and the groomers on Pk10, other than Cimarron, are some of the easier single black diamonds at Breckenridge. Have fun!
Frosty's Freeway is one of my recommendeds (the black you take on the only route from Peak 8 to Peak 9 that doesn't involve a catwalk).
Really liked this video.
I’ll be there for the very first time ever in Breckinridge in January 2021
great videos by the way, makes me want to move there

@Isaac Phillips - I film mostly on week days when I expect there to be minimal lift-lines.
Hi ted I would like to know what rossignols your using thanks
These are E88s from 2 years ago.
thank you, and how did arrive at the waist width? is that for groom and power
The E88 is a good all mountain ski, a little on the stiff side though. But it is not a powder ski. On deep days, I like something wider.

What do you think about KastleSkis

Hey I'm going to be in Breck with some friends January 22-25th and we are going to be making our first TH-cam video. We would love to collaborate with you and make some turns! If this sounds cool to you then please reply and we can figure it out from there, thanks!
@David Little - I don't know what my schedule might be like when you are here. But if weather is good for filming and I don't have any other obligations, I be happy to meet up with you. Go to BreckSnowPro.com and you will see my contact info at the bottom of the page.
@@BreckSnowPro Sounds good! We look forward to it!
would be better if someone else film you skiing - you make it too easy
