I almost garruntee that the camera guy has some sort of steady cam. that's too perfect to be handheld, even in a freshly cut pipe.

if thats from skifilm.net then its shot by Jon Hatviet...andreas brother. he is the same person that did the follows for the us open preview of the course with Jon Olsson.

its basically all pratice

and what you use to keep your camera steady

well its 80% on your half and 10% on the equipment (what your using to hold the cam and keep it steady), 10% of what your skiing on (speed, conditions [smooth/gromers or chunky/bumby etc.).

cuz you have to have a really steady hand(s) and not be lazy, you have to lock your wrists and it helps keeping your arm dead strait ( i know its tryer but dont get lazy), and try to keep your upper body in the same spot and keep your legs loose
