For the first time, Axl wasn't with us. He's off at university now, and his school breaks no longer line up with Stan's. So Stan and I had a lot of father-son time on the slopes.

Our friends Alexis and Héloïse were also on the trip with us, and Alexis captured this short video one of the days. I love it. Thank you, Alexis!

Because I'm not the guy to pull off flips on skis or jump out of planes, I never considered myself the target audience for a GoPro. However, I got a GoPro for Christmas and was eager to try it on a ski trip to the French Alps.

Below is my first attempt at shooting and editing video. The French Alps are stunning and that alone is reason to watch the video. No doubt I have to hone my skills – both shooting and in the editing room – and it wouldn't hurt if I could pull off a flip on my skis either. ;-)

We went to Alta and Snowbird for some serious skiing. It took 3 days for my muscles to recover. Thanks Matt!

After day 2 of the Open Source CMS Summit, some of us went night skiing on Cypress Moutain, located only 30 minutes from downtown Vancouver (Canada). From the downhill runs, you have a spectacular view on the city.
