I just couldn't believe the slope he was 'boarding- they said 60 
degrees, and it even looked steeper than that.

Crazy, but did you notice that every single shot was stretched 
vertically by at least 25%. Even the people's heads talking are 
stretched. There is a lot of that going on these days. Sad really, 
since it would have been a perfectly good video without the 
deliberate exaggeration of the peak and the slope. Definate fake 
vertical stretch all over this video changing the dramatic look 
profoundly.

But I wish snowboarders would stay off piste. It is the best place 
for them, as they mess up the ski slopes by scraping their way down 
the slope, and turning perfectly good snowy slopes into ice, then 
screwing up the moguls because they can't run them properly, so the 
moguls become huge icy mounds, not proper muguls.

my rant :-(

Yep, I know what you mean about the stretch.
