Thank you! Of course I’m looking for the same so I don’t spend days figuring out new resorts when I get there. Really appreciate you watching and commenting! Sincerely, James Duke
Thanks so much for this as it brought back many happy memories for a Toronto family who skied Big White yearly when our kids were young (an excellent kids ski school there). Now we are newly retired and living near Whistler. Looking forward to seeing your Dolomites trip!
Congratulations on retirement and living out west now! Big White is definitely a great resort for families and skiers of all levels - I’m thankful we visited it. I am super excited to see and ski the Dolomites! Carmelita has been there, but this is my first trip. We are going to ski both the Dolomiti Superski with IKON tickets and the Skirama Dolomiti with EPIC.
thanks for the video. Found you while doing some researches, we want to take a one month break in december 2025 and are looking for the perfect skiresort for this time. 😊
Happy you found our channel! A one month break next season sounds wonderful. If you have any questions about any of the ski resorts I’ve done video tours for - just let me know! Appreciate you watching and commenting.
I worked as a lifty back in 2004. I lived right on the mountain, and out my front door was a ski run. Talk about a great commute to work. This brings me back, although it appears a lot has changed based on the trail map. I loved working at the top booth of the t-bar. Funniest moment was when a guest missed getting off at the top of the chairlift, missed the emergency trip wire, made the loop and just ended up taking a ride back down the chairlift. The look on their face was priceless.
Another great shoot Jimbo. It looks like the mountain, facilities and especially the village have changed a great deal since I skied Big White 45 years ago as a teen. Whatever magical camera system you're using yields amazing shots. We should all have one. Give me a shout when you're back at home. Would love to make some turns with you again.
Thank you! I’m so impressed with the Insta360 X3 and the invisible selfie stick concept. Hoping when they release the X4 this fall it has even higher resolution! I’ll give you a holler when we get back.
Thank you! Excited for you - the snow just finally started coming when I was there - should be prime Big White conditions when you are there! Appreciate you watching and commenting. Sincerely, James Duke
Hi is Tania , you skied at Big White huh , oh I love that resort . 1- cheap ( US vs CA exchange rate ) 2- Friendly with all Australian young workers We were there last year also in March , were not much snow compared with CA Mammoth, but 2019 just before that ugly virus exploded, we were there in January and oh boy ! cold , cold cold but beautiful with all Christmas decorations still there , and Snow Ghost run really something, awesome, you skied all over places
Yes, we really enjoyed Big White and visiting with the Australia workers and guests. We are trying to ski as many beautiful places as possible! We are in Italy’s Dolomites now - Words cannot describe the beauty of these mountains. Zermatt was my favorite scenic resort, but the Dolomites will be in a tie for favorite!
@@YouDecideIsItWorthIt Very Very nice , I know i’m not skying around the world but I love mountains, Skiing , so I ended up subscribed you so i can follow you . Thx for sharing
Fabulous video, very informative, we are planning to visit next January, could you please give me some pointers in how to hold the Inst360 X3 when on its invisible pole whilst skiing, it would be a great help. look forwards to seeing more & again, thank you for taking the time to make these extremely entertaining & informative videos.
Thank you for the kind words! I think you will really enjoy Big White. I have tried a lot of mounts, but this is the one I’ve used all this ski season and it has worked the best: www.amazon.com/dp/B08H5H69TN?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share I attach it just under the handle of the ski pole, then I hold the invisible selfie stick and let the ski pole hang behind me to balance the weight of the camera. For the lift ride shots, I unscrew the invisible selfie stick from the mount and just hold the invisible selfie stick. Appreciate you watching and commenting! Sincerely, James Duke
Thank you for replying & giving away the 360 mounting tips, I have ordered one ready for Norway at the beginning of March. I would like to do a similar thing to your video where you add the ski map and colour the run your about to do, would you share how to do it with me please?? again Awsome Videos, just found the Sunpeaks one, still think Bigwhite as wife only skiis Greens, thank you once again@@YouDecideIsItWorthIt
@@Mark260165 I use Final Cut Pro (an Apple software) and in the titles generator section, they have an option called beams. I adjust the color to green for ski runs, and red for the lifts. It’s a little tedious piecing together the beams on runs that twist and turn, but probably only takes a few minutes for the more complicated ones. I’d love to see the video you put together in Norway!
Falcon wasn’t opened yet when we were there (New Year’s 2024). Looking forward to skiing it in the future! Appreciate you watching & commenting! Sincerely, James Duke
Haha - I wish I knew all the best places to ski before I get too old! We are on a British Columbia, Canada circuit before we drop back down to USA and head to the Alps in Austria and Italy. Super excited to ski Italy’s Dolomites! I met a man from Czech Republic who told me the Dolomites are some of the most beautiful ski resorts in the world. Thanks for watching and commenting! Sincerely, James Duke
Helmets are wonderful, got blindsided by a snowboarder with hard helmet to helmet contact, thankfully it prevented a early end to my Whistler trip! Great memories of family vacations to Big White. I hope to go their next year.
@@rogerlong2314 You probably got blindsided since you didn't have the peripheral vision necessary wearing a helmet. Well, let's admit what it is. The Natasha Richardson effect. And a style trend. Certainly didn't change anything in regards to death rates on the mountain.
Thanks for taking us along. Was fantastic. Brought back fond memories. Great job on the formatting and really good photography. Thanks again!
Thank you for watching and commenting! Sincerely, James Duke
Love the format. Showing the trail map and highlight where you are. It's exactly what I want when I am looking at potential ski areas to visit.
