GoPro head or chest view?

What are your opinions for best capturing first person skiing with a GoPro? I kind of like the chest view because you get your arms and everything in there it almost looks more first person than the "eye in the sky" head view.

Any thoughts?

Never ski the park with head view.

I agree, I'm talking more BC, big pow shots, and big cliffs.

I never get good footage when my gopro is mounted to my helmet. I'm always looking around so the footage is never stable or captures exactly what I'm skiing.

I like the chest mount the best because it's more stable and the gopro films what I'm skiing better.

If you're going with chest mount, for the love of fuck keep your hands still and stay in the front seat or you will look like a total n00b.
