If you can imagine a Hero 5 on steroids. 1080p 240fps, 4K 60fps, onboard OIS, HDR etc. The Hero 6 is a substantial step up in specs and I don’t dispute the resulting quality.

Somehow, just saying summer ski jumping is summoning the ultimate double negative. Ski jumping without snow ….. WHAAAAT?

However for about 6 years now Courchevel has successfully hosted one of the FIS world cup events in the sweltering heat of the summer.

This year was no exception. Held over two days the men and women competed on the 120m and 90m hill respecti

Something that has appeared many times on my twitter feed is a story about touch screen being added to certain chairlifts in Colorado. However much funding they have received here is a list of reasons why, in my opinion, this is a flawed experience.

1. Battery – According to the article each chair will be re-charged every time they reach the top/bottom of the stati
