It’s quite some view that snowboarder, skater and surfer Matthew Komorous captured with his GoPro on a recent trip to Aspen. If you’re planning a snowy romp this spring, now’s the time to stock up on gear, since everything from last season is on sale. And why not document the experience? We’d much rather see your awesome snowboarding pictures than all of those food photos you keep posting to Facebook. Stop it.
Matthew’s photo “12,500ft” was featured on Gopro.com as their “Photo of the Day.” He used a GoPro Hero3+ Black Edition with a handlebar mount, attached to a ski pole. See more of Matthew’s work on Instagram @matthewkomorous and check out his website: www.matthewkomorous.com.
GoPro Hero3+ Black Edition: from $3,880, available online and from Universal Audio & Visual Centre, Shop 135, 1/F, Pacific Place, 88 Queensway, Admiralty, 2801-6422. www.gopro.com.
Despite not being able to catch the Winter Olympics live on TV, I’ve still caught the snow sports bug. Not that you’ll catch me on the slopes anytime soon—I’m more of a sun-and-sand kind of lady. But since seeing my own breath the other morning, I’ve decided to help those new to the slopes with a round-up of places to go and things to buy. That’s right: you can get a lot of your gear right here in Hong Kong, if you know where to look.
