We're back from Aspen and man do we have a TON of awesome footage. We've got playlist featuring 16 videos that were made on-site. We were fortunate enough to work with several gold medal winners including Colton Moore in freestyle snowmobiling, David Wise of ski halpipe and Chris Del Basco of skiercross. Add to this other amazing athletes like the Frends Crew, an 11 year old skiing prodigy named Aspen, a handful of other amazing athletes and you've got a recipe for an awesome video.

We gave away a few cameras each day during a dance party at our booth. Apparently dancing = bouncing. Either way, it was entertaining.

Here it is in action! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRG-r-0QytE&feature=BFp&list=PL1D54AE3823DAD3E4

We had a great time in Aspen with the athletes, despite the temperature being a frosty 7 degrees. Which video is your favorite?

We are coming to you live all week from the Winter X Games in Aspen, Colorado. Our video team is crushing it making several videos a day of some of world's best snow sports athletes. We're featuring these videos all weekend long on our YouTube channel X Games playlist. You can find them all here: http://youtu.be/ArQ-HNKMC0o

We've also got a handy little Facebook tab that allows you to watch there if you'd prefer. You can find that link here: https://www.facebook.com/contour?sk=app_241190792625380 In just one day we've gathered footage to make videos of Danny Davis in the half pipe, Sammy Carlson and Andreas Hatveit in ski slopestyle and the Moore brothers doing what they do best: crazy stunts on their snowmobiles. It's only just begun! Make sure to keep it tuned to one of the above channels so you don't miss a beat during the Winter X Games!

Oh... one more thing. We're getting crafty. REALLY crafty! Can you say Matrix?

We're very excited to introduce our new Surfboard Mount to the masses! Similar to our just released 360 Helmet Mount, the Surfboard Mount allows you to rotate your camera 360 degrees on a horizontal plane as well as 180 degrees on a vertical plane to let you customize your shot so you get exactly what you want in your videos. The adhesive features 3M technology to make sure it stays secure to your board. We recommend using the Waterproof Case with this mount to ensure the best fit between your camera and the mount.

Check out our new surfing video featuring the Surfboard Mount doing what it does best: getting pitted (so pitted)!**

We have a new mount in the Contour accessory fleet that you can now find in our online store and that will be arriving to retailers near you soon! The 360 Helmet mount makes it easier than ever before to get any shot you want from your helmet.

The mount is essentially two pieces- an adhesive base and an uniquely adjustable modulating head. The base utilizes super strong 3M adhesive to make sure the mount is solidly attached. The head has a unique ball in a socket that allows you to move the actual mount piece around to the exact precise angle you're looking for. You're able to rotate it 360 degrees as well as any point on a 180 degree plane. It's very easy to use while on your helmet too, thanks to the simplicity of the hinge.

We made this mount for several reasons, but mostly because we kept getting asked for something that would provide different angles on different planes. The 360 Helmet Mount is great for helmets of all types and makes it so you can place the camera on center of the top of the helmet without getting any visor in it, if that's what you desire. It also works well for shooting the rider behind you or someone that may be right next to you. Think of the awesome potential for Dual Slalom footage!

LAS VEGAS, NV, Jan 10, 2012 -- (Consumer Electronics Show) -- Contour ( http://www.contour.com ), a leader in making it easy to share epic moments with hands-free video, today announced a new remote control feature on the Contour Connect App allowing users to remotely stop and start recording on Android devices. Available in April, the Contour Connect App will give users the ability to start and stop recording with the press of a button, remotely from their smartphone -- giving greater flexibility and creative control. With Contour's exclusive Bluetooth technology, Contour Connect already turns a user's smartphone into a wireless viewfinder, letting active people align shots and adjust settings in real-time.

"We just made hands-free a lot more hands-free. We're continuing to innovate in ways to make it easier for people to capture and share highlights than any other video camera. Contour is a creation tool, and we're always looking for ways to make it easier for people to capture and share epic moments," said Marc Barros. "The new remote control works with our Contour+ and ContourGPS cameras, so you can mount the camera on the hood of your car and control video footage from your phone while sitting in the driver's seat -- this level of remote control is an example of our leadership in mobile connectivity."

The Contour Connect App gives active people:

-- New Additional Flexibility: No need to have your Contour+ or
ContourGPS cameras within arm's reach to record. With this new
feature, users can start and stop recording remotely with their
Android smartphone!
-- Improved Streaming Capabilities: An HDMI cable connects the Contour+
camera to a TV for video streaming capabilities and can be controlled
using the remote control functionality
-- Easy Alignment and Previews: A Bluetooth connection sends images
between the camera and an Android smartphone, creating a live wireless
viewfinder. Explorers can set up the perfect shot before recording,
making crooked, misaligned footage a thing of the past
-- Real-Time Adjustments: The mobile App lets users change video mode,
adjust the microphone volume and react to lighting conditions in the
most remote locations
-- Camera's Vitals on the Go: Read battery, memory and GPS signal status
