1. don't use a go pro for the whole thing
2. don't place said gopro on your helmet.
3. Have someone actually film you
4. Have filler clips

Basically, you need:

1. a variety of camera angles
2. close-up shots as well as wide, landscape, general shots
3. shots of other things besides the main focus of the video which is skiing/snowboarding
4. a cool music track

See below vid as an example



I have some more Youtube edits put up on my site. You could take a look and see if it helps. =)

An afterthought: I guess that's how I (and perhaps not someone else) would do a video edit.

Everyone has his own style =)
