Song was boring, didn't change throughout the edit. A bunch of your follow cams and pans were shaky so I would try to work on that. Consolidate the edit into a minute or minute and a half. It got boring because many of the shots were similar. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't fantastic. Keep practicing and you'll see results.

Nice to see things happening at wintergreen.
The second skiing shot was a kid landing so far backseat and almost falling. You guys are going hard, but I would try to film some more simple tricks like grabbed threes and then toss in those 7s and 9s when they're landed clean.
At the 40 second mark you had like three or four shots of snowboarders hitting the jump from up above. It looked like the same shot a few times in a row. Try to spread those out more because its repetitive to see the same angle over and over again.
Some of the follow shots looked really good. For filming rails you may want to be conscious of which foot your skier is gonna slide on so you don't film their butts.
It was a nice edit though, just trying to toss that constructive criticism.

Some shots we're a bit over exposed and the whole edit lacked b-roll. Follow cams and angles were sick but try to get closer to the skier for some shots, it's always cool to switch things up a bit. Also like others said try to cut the edit to 1:30 ish.
Overall it was still cool to watch, good job

It got a little monotonous, just the continuous music and same type of shots, kids were putting up some nice stuff, just need to show it in a little different way, add some cut shots to break up the tricks and it will make it a little more entertaining. Good luck man!

I agree with the above posts, a lot of the shots were redundant. Also try to vary the different angles you use and try to be more selective when deciding what tricks make the cut. Quality over quantity. I would also recommend using a stabilizer of some sort (such as a glidecam) if you don't already have one.
