Get rid of the opening words, you had like 1/3 of the video actually in kinda backcountry, so having that start made me think it being backcountry but it wasn't soooooooooo ya not bad, also pick different music, it is been used and didn't really fit the edit

maybe not fade through black for every shot. i didn't really like the part between the intro and about 1:15, the edit would have been better off without that part, especially as a season edit. nice job tho i liked the b+w to color effect

Could definitely use some more flow for the song, also try to keep a bit of a steadier hand when following somebody. Get some more speed for rail and boxes it will make every trick seem bigger, no matter how cool the trick is, if your not going faster, its not going look as good. You guys are pretty solid riders though, good edit, riding was fun to watcch but the lifestyle shots before it were a little much.

This might just be my personal opinion but I really wasn't a huge fan of the random color changes. I felt it too distracting and taking away from the actual skiing. I think it was appropriate in the first couple of shots fading to the b&w cause it was just straight skiing, but in the middle of the tricks it was a little annoying. But i would agree with ^ that there was a bit much life style/intro shots for the size of the edit.

There were a few things I saw. First was how the opening shots of outside your house didn't really contribute much to your edit, I would just ditch them or get shots more relevant to the edit. Secondly I'd suggest ditching the vignettes. It's a really played out effect and it shouldn't be used all that often. Also, push your friends to push themselves while filming because better skiing can always add to an edits quality. Other than that good job!
