Powder Mountain Perspective from Ian Provo on Vimeo. This little video was shot at Powder Mountain, a ski area in northern Utah. Pow mow flies below the radar as far as utah resorts are concerned, which is fine by me! This place is all about getting your pow turn on with your buddies, all day. Shot on a 5DmkII, handheld, with a 15mm fisheye. Tried to capture the feeling of shredding a resort
