  • Today we introduce the lovely ms Sofia Sjöberg, who I am lucky enough to have by my side for well over over a decade. Watching her turn her passion for photography into a career is super exciting and in this episode you are invited behind the scenes of the making of a classic "heli style" drone photo.
    This is a typical "work day" for a professional freeskier working with a photographer. In order to get untracked snow for these photos, we ski-tour and hike to the start, and even though the runs are over in seconds, the kick of skiing fast, smooth, perfect powder snow lasts long enough to hike back up!
    Filming: Jacob Wester, Bine Zalohar and Sofia Sjöberg
    Editing: Jacob Wester
    Photos: Sofia Sjöberg
    Music: Oliver Michael - City Angels
    Lone Wild - Stranger Ways
    Beneath the Mountain - First Snow
    The La's - There She Goes

    Good job, looked fun. Having drones really opens the door to great shots and edits. Can you imagine how much Warren Miller would have saved if he had drones. LOL

    • @JacobWesterSki
      @JacobWesterSki  Před 4 lety +1

      Good call! This particular day it took us about 45 minutes to an hour for each line. If we had just been freeskiing, not for video, we would have probably done just one big ascent and skied much slower on the way down to maximize fun-time 😏

    • @JacobWesterSki
      @JacobWesterSki  Před 4 lety +1

      Thats very hard to say, all depends on your spending habits! Lift pass is 1000 usd, rent anywhere from 500 to 2000 a month depending on how many ppl you share with and how nice of a place it is. Chamonix is a real little city with all kinds of accom.

    Why do you text Sofia and not call her? Is there a reason or just simpler?

    • @JacobWesterSki
      @JacobWesterSki  Před 4 lety +2

      Good question, in this particular zone the cell phone service can be a bit dodgy and since its right on the swiss border it tends to want to switch over to swiss network, meaning expensive phone bill. Limiting it to the french network means really patchy service so texts are best to avoid misunderstandings. Radios would be optimal but some days you just want to save weight...
