Filmed at the end of November 2010 somewhere in Bavaria. Riders are Max Schumann and Maxi Dickerhoff. Snow cover was about 50 or 60cm. With hikers trampling down the snow and making a trail then some good riding is still possible. Took us 2hrs of pushing and carrying to get to the trail head but, once again, the up hill grunt was well worth it. Considering these guys were running with normal downhill tyres (without spikes) then this is some of the fastest mountain trail snow riding I have seen. Some sections of the trail are pretty exposed too, kiss your ass good bye if you fuck up.

Filmed using two GH13 bodies and lenses:

Panasonic 7-14mm f/4,
Nikkor 50mm f/1.8,
Nikkor 20mm f/2.8,
Voigtlander 25mm f/0.95.

The 20mm Nikkor was attached to a Lensbaby "Tilt Transformer" to get the focus shift in the first couple of scenes.

The Voigtlander 25mm was used in the forest near the end and was a "life saver" at getting some usable footage at 4pm in a dark forest. The quality and feel of this lens really is sweet and it's made for filming using a GH1. At only €900 then buy one quick!
