Thanks for the work in producing and uploading this video. Heavenly looks terrifying when you pull into the parking lot on the California side and see Gunbarrel and its VW Beetle-sized moguls looking like a cliff with huge bumps on it, but once you ride up the gondola, you find lots of wonderful groomed intermediate cruisers. Most skiers who upload their adventures show us stop-and-go runs down chutes and through trees through pure expert territory. Amazing to watch, but not really how I skied back when I was young and still athletic enough to want to invest my vacation money and time on a ski trip out West.
I appreciate this, thank you for commenting! I agree, I see a lot of content from experienced/pro creators that doesn't represent the average experience. On this trip I had got a good deal on a GoPro (Ended up winning money in a casino and payed for it tenfold :D) so I wanted to test it out. I had pulled my back in a bad way the day before, so I couldn't stay on the mountain long. These easier trails were a godsend, that coming from a Florida man too lol. Since I ski a few days every other year, I like to do these runs with a bit of expert and tree skiing once warmed up. I had hoped to get some great tree shots, but due to the injury I couldn't. I am glad people got to see this and enjoy it :)
I’ll watch this all day

Thanks for the long trip down the mountain. I'm heading to Heavenly this weekend.
Have a good trip!
I put this on the 75” TV and it feels like I’m there!
