Just picked up a Go Pro 2 and the accessory kit with the head attachment, chest, pole, etc. I am going to start filming this summer some mountain biking, and this winter obviously on the slopes.

What is the best angle for getting a POV shot that includes the skis but can also see where you are going down hill? Is it the helmet mount or the chest mount?
 
Both are fine but if you want to see your skis a little more use the chest mount. Plus the chest mount feels a lot better and doesnt weigh your head down.
 
personally helmet, however there are ppl who manage to get awesome chest shots, helmet works better for me ..

to get the angle right, use a mirror to see where it's looking at, just eyeball it, then make some shots and review em, if its your first gopro you'll need to get a feel for it by trial and error :)
 
i think chest mount is way better, you can see everything and it's a lot more stable cos it moves around a lot when its on your head, for obvious reasons.
 
I haven't used mine for biking but I think going with a helmet mount for that would work well.

For skiing I highly recommend using the chest mount. It gets a more realistic shot and, in my experience, a smoother shot. The helmet mount makes the shots so tall.

But play around with each to find your preference.
