25 minutes of fast POV Skiing at Telluride | no music, no talking
Telluride Ski Resort POV skiing tour. I focused on the longer and faster blue runs of Telluride or the runs to get you around. This was my first time to Telluride so many of these POVs are first time runs. I ended up putting 60k vertical feet over two days as I wanted to learn the resort on this trip. I now feel confident with my understanding of the terrain now so if you have questions, ask in the comments.
Colorado Plankers: When I first started youtube I made skiing videos and offroad videos. The offroad content took off so that became an offroad/overland channel (Colorado Mallcrawlers). However, I love skiing as much as I love exploring Colorado in my Jeeps. Colorado Plankers is my attempt to bring my skiing knowledge and my love of videomaking to an audience that is into skiing. If that's you, please subscribe! This channel only needs an audience to let me know there are people out there that want ski vids. Eventually I want to make insider skiing guides (see Keystone guides on Colorado Mallcrawlers), High Quality POVs, and I'd love to film abandoned colorado ski resorts/backcountry skiing cinematically. -Dewie

A Basin POV skiing tour | No Music, No Talking

Arapahoe Basin is a resort I use to ski a lot, but this is the first time I cruised there. Unpopular opinion, but the greatest resort in Colorado would be Keystone and ABasin connected together.

A POV skiing tour of Winter Park Ski Area.

A skiing POV of Steamboat Ski Resort's Why Not trail. A 3.2 mile easy trail that meanders around the mountain. This long trail is perfect for beginners as it doesn't have any steep slopes to worry about (made skiing it fast tougher). Why Not also has lots of wildlife educational signs and I promise you will see a real moose in this video (filmed by me and a bit too close for comfort). Anyway, t...

    Would be nice if you started with the whole map then a zoomed in perspective of the map for each map shot. And made clearer where you got off the lift and got on the lift on the map each time

    • @coloradoplankers
      @coloradoplankers 8 днів тому

      I think this is the first one, but I believe I did that on other POVs. I at least did it on the one I’m uploading now. I also have written data about the lifts and base areas as I start the runs. Thanks for the feedback tho!

    I'm sitting in Granby getting ready for my first time skiing in the West. If I said I was nervous I wouldn't be lying. I'm from New Hampshire and I drove across the coutry to do this. Your video was so helpful in building my confidence by seeing what I was getting myself into. You have a real talent for this and I enjoyed the no music no voice track, it allows me to absorb the details and the heading regarding the trails were also very helpful. Stay and ski well

    Can you explain downshifting on I70 descents? I drive an automatic and have never downshifted but don't want to wear out my brakes, especially driving in snow on the descents. Can you downshift while driving on the highway, and do you suggest just going down one from D?

    • @coloradoplankers

      You’re likely fine with what the automatic does in D. This is more of a manual driver thing.

    OK, then you might know…. I don’t do well with the altitude.. they say driving instead of flying might help. but I can’t figure out where the altitude starts ,,,coming from Nevada.

    • @coloradoplankers
      @coloradoplankers 2 місяці тому

      Nevada near Vegas is around 2000ft, through Utah you’ll gain 2-3k in elevation, in Colorado, you’ll gain a lot of elevation past Grand Junction. Drink lots of water, but the gradual increase while driving may help. Good luck!

Very informative, no annoying music, great sound and they really give the viewer a great skier’s perspective of each of the trails that you capture. I also like how you show the viewer in advance, the route that you’re about to take. You have nothing to apologize for about the quality of any of the videos that I’ve seen so far. Keep making great videos like the ones that you’ve done so far!

    is the elevation too much for someone who has never been to colorado, or is that true for any resort in CO?

    • @coloradoplankers
      @coloradoplankers 10 місяців тому

      Copper ranges from 9700ft to 12300ft. You would need to adjust to it if you’re coming from a low elevation state. You’d probably have better luck at steamboat which is at a lower elevation.
