GoPro VideoLab

Terrain park aficionados may have noticed the back of the Show Room, Mountain Creek's premier place for hard and soft goods, is home to one of the most coveted media set ups ever assembled.  

A 70" TV next to an iMac.  We're on some pre-economic-collapse, NYC-film-school-grad-student-West 4th & Broadway media station kick back there.  The best part about the set up is that it is for everyone. It's a fully operational on hill editing station for aspiring Pierre Wikbergs and Mike McEntire's who don't have the luxury of  Final Cut Pro or Apple Computers at home. Sign a waiver and you can use the computer to edit your own footage.  Bring your cam, your usb/firewire connectors, and fire it up.  We're working on getting you guys some rental GoPro's (The Official Camera of Mountain Creek) so you can leave your HVX at home.  Sign a waiver, bring a credit card for a deposit + camera fee (we're working out the dollar amount) and go shred with one of our cams.  Then come in and edit it.  Pretty mellow considering most of us here started our snow media careers with Hi-8 cameras and double VHS deck editing.  
Here's a little teaser of what's in there.  Go into the show room, buy some gear, watch a video on the TV, and start thinking of lines to film.
