Lake Placid Ice Climbing

Just back from some ice climb­ing near Lake Placid in the ADK. The ice there is thick with short approaches from the road. It was magic on ice!

I haven’t had a chance to edit all the footage from the trip, but quickly put together this lit­tle iMovie trailer for Brian and Josh. If you like it, please sub­scribe, rate & com­ment! More to come!

Ouray Ice Festival 2011 Videos

Just posted up some videos from the Ouray Ice Fes­ti­val! Both were cut with iMove ’11 as an excuse to play with it. Pretty cool app. Though Win­dows Live Move Maker has many com­pet­i­tive fea­tures, the trailer tem­plates are so cool. Here’s a quick trailer I made from our footage:

Windows Phone 7 Users — Get NWAC forecasts

Some local pow­der buffs at Microsoft have devel­oped a trial ver­sion of a Win­dows Phone appli­ca­tion called “Peaked”. The appli­ca­tion will deliver NWAC fore­casts directly to your phone. It saves data retrieved from the web and saves it for offline viewing.

Baja & Ice in Ouray

One week since com­ing back from our 9-day alpine tour of the North Cas­cades, I finally have a tally on all the footage I took. 200 GB! Yikes! My goal for the trip was to pro­duce a short film about the expe­ri­ence. I’m both excited and over­whelmed at the project ahead. Now begins the ardu­ous process of editing…

For a warm up, I pulled some clips from our Ouray ice climb­ing trip ear­lier this year. It’s been on my back­log for quite some time, and since we’re wind­ing down sum­mer here it seemed fit­ting — I’ve already started to dream about ice! :) Yes, yes. I know there is still some good fall climb­ing … but what can you do? The ice calls!

You can also view some pho­tos from our trip here.
