Hey HalfPipe, I just recently got a Vholdr and took it out with me to Mammoth for a few days for a ski trip... It's definitely a high quality camera that is worth the price tag! The video quality is great (640x480, 30 fps) and it's made with fall- and crash-proof material (carbon fiber, aluminum, rubber) so you won't have to worry about it when you take your spills. It's a good thing it has a 180 day warranty, because I plan on going snow crazy this winter!
And just so you know, while doing some holiday shopping I saw it on amazon for $299 (usually runs for about $350). Here's the link:

Good luck!
