As student in the first class in High school i became involved with skiing and climbing (just walking -not climbing in the rocks), but always these kind of accidents, in the mountains, caused by the weather situations or by the human factor, are the facts who shakes me more. Probably because i feel safty in the mountains or I don't feel the danger in these activities.
All of us, sometimes we want to be heroes, and we often take video, ourselves or the others, in high quality images with intense movements in extreme environments, on or off -piste.
I also have a camera (Gopro hero 3), but i am not hero, i am tourist, i dont forget that. The snow, in the winter is a part of my life.
It's tragic, the recent events in the snow mountains. I believed to be connected and some of them, have a direct relationship with the trying to innovate through the video.
