We had a few days of downhill skiing fun in Hintertux and Kaprun glaciers in Austria, both about 2,5 hours from Munich by car.  Mika managed to fix an HD camera to a tip of a ski and a ski helmet, see the attached picture from a truly unique perspective and test video footages uploaded to Youtube: an HD video camera fixed to a tip of the ski (the video camera drops from the ski at 50 seconds)  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKRmtnTnRS0 and the HD video camera attached to a ski helmet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLwumiu6H6s
