@@Chrissli3 yeah my buddy and I were on a ski tour a few years ago (before I upgraded/updated a bunch of kit) and decided to try and do a rough total of how much the gear with us cost, and it came out to about 6-7 grand (USD) per person. Haha. The wallet might hurt but the spirit is free!
@d darko To be fair, most people don't even have skis or boots. Or poles. Or any ski and snow gear actually. Hell, if you want to be decently comfortable in your clothing and insulation, you need to spend a pretty big chunk of cash.
You and @jacobwester are the pioneers of the freeride vlogging type of videos and I love them! Keep up the great work and keep us updated with your travels.
thank you again for a chill no "cool" music video. Grate! Iv almost lost my interest for skiing vids because they are often to much, but your slowly getting me back into wanting to see some more videos again. Hope your humble style rubs off on other film makers out there.
Great video!! Would love to see a video on your filming setup and how you achieve the shots you do. How do you use the drone and positions the gopros etc...
Hey Nikolai, try out the Arc Teryx Atom Hoodie and you will never wear another fleece again. PLUS, it's miles away a superior product for getting the job done. I didn't believe it until I made the switch.
Excellent vid. I actually bought some Navis Freebirds with G3 Ion 10's, in part on your recommendation. The skis are spectacular, ridiculously killer in all condies. The bindings I'm less hot on; they released on me in an icy couloir last Tuesday. Prefer Dynafits from my old skis. Ski hard, cut carbon!
Hi Nikolai, as I have a shed load (well a few) Icebreaker merino base layers so I have't added to my extensive Norrona wardrobe with their merino baselayers. What I have found useful is from another Norwegian company Brynje's mesh baselayers. I have the wool ones for holiday when washing them isn't convenient and the superthermo vest for winter biking here in England. I use these under the normal merino baselayers and find that they help to prevent that clammy feeling when merino gets damp.
Hi Nikolai, Any chance you'll be traveling this winter? I have a GREAT idea I would like to share with you. I'll be in the U.S. this winter. A cup of coffee and conversation could change our and many others lives. Thank you for all the inspiration and you continual kindness in your films.
pack with all of the gear, food, water, clothes, avi equip, repair, first aid but without skins. 4kg! speed is better than safety (meaning that it is safety)
Thx for the great content!! I was wondering for quite long about the crampons you are using? In a way a mix of crampons and snow shoes… 🤷🏻♂️ Hope you‘re doing well and keep up the high quality!! Best reg D
Hey Niko! What's the name of the song that's playing in the short ski clips throughout the video? Also, any chance you could put the name of a songs you use in your videos in the caption? I recognize about half of them, but am interested in the other ones. Cheers man!
I think I disagree on the Atris vs Corvus. Even not going switch the Atris has a shorter turn radius and rocker in the tail which makes turn initiation easier and snapping quick turns is easier. The Corvus rails massive turns way better though
Hey, I have notised that you often ride the combo of yellow jacket and green pants. Is this the Lofoten Goretex pro series? I’m looking for a combo that can rock both the resort and the backcountry here in Tromsø, but struggle to choose between the different series. I’ve been looking at both the pro and the pro light of lofoten, but also having an eye up for the Lyngen series. What would you choose if you only could have one set? Love your videos by the way! Big inspiration.
Thats exactly what I'm still tryna figure out! Lasr year he answered my question in one of his instagram stories. So last year he was using the regular Lofoten shell (yellow) and all the other layers were the same as explained in this video.
Yo! First of all, LOVE your videos. So incredibly inspiring. Secondly, I see you got the regular Camox back there on the left side in the shot. Any thoughts on these? How do they compare to the Atris and the Camox freebird?
Thanks! The camox is pretty sick actually. Had it in chamonix one winter, and took it out a few days that were unexpectedly deep, and they performed really well. It’s also a more fun ski than the atris when the snow is firm. Compared to the freebird they’re way more solid. You can charge on them. Which makes them a bit heavier of course
@@Nikolai_Schirmer Thanks a lot for replying! And great news to hear about the Camox, I just put in an order on them :) Hit me up if you ever need an additional drone pilot/touring buddy!
FINALLY, the video we have all been waiting for lol ive always been trying out different combos and stuff but this takes the cake thanks #NikolaiSchirmer
Great video. Helped me so much. Could you please tell me what kind of backpack do you use for one day tours? How big should it be? How many litres? Thanks
Hi Nikolai I would want to know in this video , how did you took off your ski in the last videos when the snow was icey ? Thanks for the amazing videos !!
Heyhey, so the trick is to grab the ski with the hand that you release the toe piece with. So thumb on your toe piece and fingers around the ski. Click the lever and voila, the ski is in your hand. A bit harder if you’re not on a tech binding
Never rode the shift myself, but it seems good! I just feel like weight doesn’t make sense for the kind of riding I’m doing. I’ve skied rossignol, volkl, armada, atomic, k2, skilogik and line
I was wondering how you think your bindings perform in bounds? Do they work just as well as traditional alpine bindings? Thank you for the help also love your videos keep it up this winter
heyhey, they definitely don't hold up as well as a regular alpine binding with a 16-18 din. I haven't skied a regular alpine binding with a din of 12, but I guess they would be comparable to that
Hey Niko! Don't know if you still read the comments on this video, but what's your opinion on avy airbag backpacks? Love your content and even more your attitude!
Hey there! Been replying to a few of these. I used them in the early days, but they malfunctioned a bunch so I gave rhem up :) there should be a more detailed answer somewhere in these comments. Thanks😃 have a good winter!
@@Nikolai_Schirmer Oh right, I actually searched for it but didn't go to the very end :D Now I got it, thanks! Thanks man, you too - hope to see you grow even larger cause your message needs to get out there 🤙🏼
What do you mean by traditional skier compared to 'GB', im still relatively new but ski in NZ and once Corona starts to calm down maybe go to Japan with mates. Wanting a good ski that I can do off piste skiing and black chutes at speed. Im 178cm and 70kg, I use a Nordica 110 Flex 26.5 mondo and 98cm width. And all though im new my friends are highly experienced and im learning quickly.
Traditional as in going forwards and not jumping too much, jibby (if I interpreted your «GB» right) as in doing butter, jumping, slarving and going backwards. Sounds like you need the 182cm anima for your skiing 😊
@@Nikolai_Schirmer ahh I've attempted 2 butters and I slipped. Still learning, my friends have Salmons but I think Black Crows are better for me and what I want to do
@@Nikolai_Schirmer yeah our winter this year was the third warmest in 100 years. Although it was decent enough to do some skiing and get out, it wasn't crazy. Although we had lots of bluebird days
Question : Zed vs Ion, I completely understand the longevity difference, but do you think the ION also hold better, and if so, is it significant ? Thank you
Love your video.I saw you have in the back the black crows Navis. What are your thoughts on them? I've just got mine and didn't get the chance to ski them. Thanks.
@@Nikolai_Schirmer yes. You are right. I got them mixed up. I bought the camox with a full frame touring bindings. I'm a beginner at touring. Hope that thei will perform well.
Heyhey, I go superview, 4k 25 or 2,7k 50, flat profile, medium sharpness. For POV :-) Stoked on the hero9 that’s on it’s way now though! To do 40k 50fps with the max lens mod. The trick is to get the widest field of view possible, while not going full 360cam style
Nikolai Schirmer I’ve looked at the duos freebirds, but they only extend to 140, unless you’ve gotten someone specially made or you have an old pair. Any other recommendations that extends to 145cm? Thanks for answering :-)
Do you know what effect does weight have on ski length and type? I'm 190cm/70kg which is quite an outlier and I'm thinking of buying the corvus freebirds but I'm wondering if I just wouldn't be able to bend them into turns unless I ski extremely aggressively. I do this sort of slow super parallell skiing ignoring snow conditions on pretty soft skis (old wayback 84) and I'm thinking maybe I'm missing out. In particular in dense and heavy snow I feel I don't have stability to put weight forward and go fast.
@@Nikolai_Schirmer Thanks! I haven't seen those before. I might be overthinking it, I just want something stable for spring skiing in the Alps that will keep me from having to turn to survival skiing when it gets crusty and variable. Perhaps the Camox or the Navis is better for me. But the pink skis are so hard to say no to. And I never liked pink color. Skiing was easier before youtube!!
On your free rider skis, do you have center mount? Eller på norsk, har du skiene midtstilt som du ville gjort på en park ski? Eller har du bindingen litt lenger bak?😊 Har akkurat kjøpt meg frikjøringsski (Line Sick Day 110) og er litt usikker på om jeg vil de midtstilte eller ha bindingen litt lenge bak
Avalanche training is far most the best gear you recommended (and than maybe everything norrona). Thankful guys like you promote safe practice of this sport. I think it's not promoted enough :)
Now that you've done a "gear video" I'd say you're officially a TH-camr. So uh, welcome to the shit show. lol Edit: also +1 to the dude asking about the splitboard setup video cause I don't ski.
I just feel my net worth departing, every second of this video I watch. How many body parts did you have to sell to afford all of your gear? Left Kidney? Right Kidney? Both?
Man, you are such an incredible skier and these videos are awesome! Confident that you will be getting a lot more subscribers in the next few years. If you are ever back in BC let me know!
So good, your channel is back active again! With your videos and the impressive pictures I bridged last winter where I couldn't go skiing. Off topic, but: I love the music you use from Neon Apartments. Great Stuff.
ur 3/4 down pants are so cool! it doesn't really get that cold where i live (SE BC) so i generally only wear tights and my shellsuit and im happy with that but dang i kinda want those. nice ad!
Hey Nico, great video as always! :) I get that you're sponsored by G3, but I'm curious about the G3 Ion 12 vs Salomon/Armada/Atomic SHIFT 12. So from one Scandinavian to another - Besides the 2 x 250 G weight saving, are there any advantages to the G3, or is the weight the main reason to chose the G3 over the SHIFT when going for a DH oriented touring setup?
Heyhey, Ease of use is the other factor you should consider. With the G3 you can go from walk to ski mode in a few seconds without taking your skis off. There’s a bit more hassle with the shift. Other than that they’re pretty much the same! If I were skiing the ski in the resort more I would prefer the shift/duke
Hey there, 1: I ski and make videos (sponsor money and some commercial work) 2: I prefer Norway just because it’s home, and there are less people. The Alps on a pow day is epic though!
Hi, love that peacefully actitude and all your lines on that beatiful natural enviroment, thanks for sharing all these vids. Do you use any back protection ? Anything about communication ( walkies t.), Sat , or location electronics (GPS...)? Anyway,fckng good skiing.
Thank you for all this valuable info, especially the bindings parts. I am surprised that you shred the pin bindings so hard and do not snap when you land a big air. Also love your videos and generally your approach to the the whole game.
I ski the hoji free 130 as well, and despite the 102-narrower last I have to say it somehow magically fits my super wide feet like a glove, so if anyone with wide feet is thinking about getting them, try them on!
You are absolutely epic with your skiing! It shows that you love what you do and you seem to be very in tune with what will work on a mountain and what won’t. Much love! Stay safe!!
Hey Niko! Really interesting seeing you talk about all the gear you have. I am curious if you have had the chance to try out the Black Crows Ferox Freebird ski, and in that case what you think about them (maybe compared to your Atris). Cheers!¨ Edit: Saw that you already commented on them further down, thanks for taking your time and interacting with your audience! =)
Super video informational video, you learned me more new stuff about skins/clothing/skis/bindings than I've learned in ages! love that you talk about mount points and a lot of stuff that nobody seems to talk about. I just got the atris in 189 and was wondering where to put the bindings as I do like the more forward mounting so +2 it is. Any suggestions for camox mount points as well? And do you use any sort of quiverkillers/bindingfreedom inserts so you can move bindings around? Alltid god stemning når du legger ut video og høy kvalitet! :)
Sweet! Yes, so the reason the atris rides well that far forward is because the recommended one is -8cm from true centre, whereas the anima and lots of the other skis are -6cm. I like the camox at recommended. Just rode them there on Saturday. Feels good both switch and going forwards🤘 takk!
@@Nikolai_Schirmer Thanks! Have you tried the new Justis? how how you say it fits between the atris/camox? ? have not seen any info from black crows, but blister says its suggested mounted at 7.5? guessing bumping that to 6 would also work?
@@pewpewpew8390 I haven't tried the Justis to be honest, but I think they look sick! My general impression is that Julien Regnier (who draws up all these) and Kenji (who does the engineering bit) really know what they're doing, and so far I haven't gotten a ski from them that doesn't perform. Julien does a good walkthrough of it here: th-cam.com/video/wRLuvWSK05Y/w-d-xo.html If you're skiing more freeride/piste than park I would go for the justis
thanks for the video! I just have one question: I am looking for spoilers for my skiboots, but can't really find any. Do you have any tipps where i should look and where i can buy? (I have lange T130 Boots)
Thanks for the video! I am planning on transiting towards the backcountry skiing this season and was really trying to figure the gear. I guess if it holds well for your style of skiing, there should be no problem for a beginner for at least several years.
Dude, great vid! Ive a question regarding the binding: How hard can you trust the pins when sending it? Iam 198 with 100kg, using the anima for deep snow but with a frame binding and an older daemon188 with the atk free for touring, but iam afraid of bigger drops with a pin binding:). Any troubles with that recently?
so it looks like you didn't mention anything about avalanche airbags, is there a reason for that? I am curious because I have heard experienced backcountry skiers say things like "avalanche airbags are either the last thing you get or the thing you never get because you should never be skiing in an area where an avalanche might happen," but don't they happen even when you think they won't? seems like if you are wrong that could directly be a life or death situation.
Great video, great info. Love black crows and norrona :). Atris is my favorite ski- I have them with a shift binding to use for resort and backcountry. Also have the camox freebird with a light touring setup. Thinking so hard about the Animas! Have you used the marker alpinist 12 binding? If so, how do they compare to the G3s?
its expensive to watch these kind of videos
Yea, was thinking the same thing. Started to add up what he had, and came to around $30,000 for all the gear. Sponsorship definitely has it's perks!!
I go skiing and climbing and the amount of money I have spent in this 2 hobbies is brutal lol especially skiing
@@Chrissli3 yeah my buddy and I were on a ski tour a few years ago (before I upgraded/updated a bunch of kit) and decided to try and do a rough total of how much the gear with us cost, and it came out to about 6-7 grand (USD) per person. Haha. The wallet might hurt but the spirit is free!
@d darko We are talking about what he was showing in the video, not a pair of walmart ski, and paper-mache boots.

Eller har du bindingen litt lenger bak?😊 Har akkurat kjøpt meg frikjøringsski (Line Sick Day 110) og er litt usikker på om jeg vil de midtstilte eller ha bindingen litt lenge bak
Ta de litt lengre bak om du skal kjøre i løssnø :) blir best sånn
@@Nikolai_Schirmer den er grei😊
Does anyone know the music around the 10:45 mark? Cheers
Hey bro, where did you learn to edit? :)
The internets :)
Where do you have the moonlight mounted?
I use a gopro mount on my helmet, a little on the side so I can still film with a gopro
Which video is 18:53 line from? Incredible
th-cam.com/video/sGV7JyGC_Q8/w-d-xo.html
This one :)
@@Nikolai_Schirmer Thanks! Truly amazing line!
No avalanche airbag?
I use one from arva now :)
@@Nikolai_Schirmer Weights 1kg less than my old mammut nirvana. Neat!
@@tiggersix Yeah it's sweet!
do u use a skimask or a beanie?
Yes! I wear the Norrøna ones :)
My gear closet is starting to make me look like a bit of a fanboy...
Ice Pick?
Blue Ice Akila
@@Nikolai_Schirmer tusen takk vielen Dank Niko!
Are you sponsored my Norrøna or something
Yes :)
@@Nikolai_Schirmer must be nice
this is like $10k in just clothing
IM BROKE, can i take my old resort boots to back country or is that suicide
Yes. Do it👌
What about your sandals? Whole video and you didn’t talk about them.
Birkenstock
Martin Müller haha, yeah. The beach ones
Avalanche training is far most the best gear you recommended (and than maybe everything norrona). Thankful guys like you promote safe practice of this sport. I think it's not promoted enough :)
Couldn't agree more!
Hey Nikolai, assuming ur pack isn’t RAS? Any reason you don’t use it? Thanks for sharing your gear and the regular vids 🙌🏼
Now that you've done a "gear video" I'd say you're officially a TH-camr. So uh, welcome to the shit show. lol
Edit: also +1 to the dude asking about the splitboard setup video cause I don't ski.
Haha thanks!! Will ask my boarder friends about setup vids
You should start to ski 😊
The amount of subscribers to the amount of effort and quality of video is not fair. Hands down the best channel for skiing.
I just feel my net worth departing, every second of this video I watch. How many body parts did you have to sell to afford all of your gear? Left Kidney? Right Kidney? Both?
Sponsorships :)
best backcountry ski gear video ever made--incredibly detailed. great job.
Man, you are such an incredible skier and these videos are awesome! Confident that you will be getting a lot more subscribers in the next few years. If you are ever back in BC let me know!
Thanks!! Will do
So good, your channel is back active again! With your videos and the impressive pictures I bridged last winter where I couldn't go skiing. Off topic, but: I love the music you use from Neon Apartments. Great Stuff.
Thanks! Yeah Neon Apartments is awesome
the production quality of this video is incredibly high. Bravo!
ur 3/4 down pants are so cool! it doesn't really get that cold where i live (SE BC) so i generally only wear tights and my shellsuit and im happy with that but dang i kinda want those. nice ad!
Hey Nico, great video as always! :)
I get that you're sponsored by G3, but I'm curious about the G3 Ion 12 vs Salomon/Armada/Atomic SHIFT 12. So from one Scandinavian to another - Besides the 2 x 250 G weight saving, are there any advantages to the G3, or is the weight the main reason to chose the G3 over the SHIFT when going for a DH oriented touring setup?
Heyhey,
Ease of use is the other factor you should consider. With the G3 you can go from walk to ski mode in a few seconds without taking your skis off. There’s a bit more hassle with the shift. Other than that they’re pretty much the same! If I were skiing the ski in the resort more I would prefer the shift/duke
@@Nikolai_Schirmer Great. Thanks :)
Hey Niko! Just 2 simple questions: What do you do to earn money? And Do you prefer skiing in Norway or skiing in Austria/Switzerland?
Hey there,
1: I ski and make videos (sponsor money and some commercial work)
2: I prefer Norway just because it’s home, and there are less people. The Alps on a pow day is epic though!
Hi, love that peacefully actitude and all your lines on that beatiful natural enviroment, thanks for sharing all these vids. Do you use any back protection ? Anything about communication ( walkies t.), Sat , or location electronics (GPS...)?
Anyway,fckng good skiing.
Thank you for all this valuable info, especially the bindings parts. I am surprised that you shred the pin bindings so hard and do not snap when you land a big air. Also love your videos and generally your approach to the the whole game.
Thanks Camilo!
I ski the hoji free 130 as well, and despite the 102-narrower last I have to say it somehow magically fits my super wide feet like a glove, so if anyone with wide feet is thinking about getting them, try them on!
You are absolutely epic with your skiing! It shows that you love what you do and you seem to be very in tune with what will work on a mountain and what won’t. Much love! Stay safe!!
Thank you! Will do!
Hey Niko!
Really interesting seeing you talk about all the gear you have. I am curious if you have had the chance to try out the Black Crows Ferox Freebird ski, and in that case what you think about them (maybe compared to your Atris).
Cheers!¨
Edit: Saw that you already commented on them further down, thanks for taking your time and interacting with your audience! =)
That headlamp is €350 and has a seperate battery pack.
What mic's do you use to record such quality sound in the mountains?
We need more videos!
Super video informational video, you learned me more new stuff about skins/clothing/skis/bindings than I've learned in ages! love that you talk about mount points and a lot of stuff that nobody seems to talk about. I just got the atris in 189 and was wondering where to put the bindings as I do like the more forward mounting so +2 it is. Any suggestions for camox mount points as well? And do you use any sort of quiverkillers/bindingfreedom inserts so you can move bindings around? Alltid god stemning når du legger ut video og høy kvalitet! :)
Sweet! Yes, so the reason the atris rides well that far forward is because the recommended one is -8cm from true centre, whereas the anima and lots of the other skis are -6cm. I like the camox at recommended. Just rode them there on Saturday. Feels good both switch and going forwards🤘 takk!
@@Nikolai_Schirmer Thanks! Have you tried the new Justis? how how you say it fits between the atris/camox? ? have not seen any info from black crows, but blister says its suggested mounted at 7.5? guessing bumping that to 6 would also work?
@@pewpewpew8390 I haven't tried the Justis to be honest, but I think they look sick! My general impression is that Julien Regnier (who draws up all these) and Kenji (who does the engineering bit) really know what they're doing, and so far I haven't gotten a ski from them that doesn't perform. Julien does a good walkthrough of it here: th-cam.com/video/wRLuvWSK05Y/w-d-xo.html
If you're skiing more freeride/piste than park I would go for the justis
You forgot to mention the bike hanging on the back wall... 😀
thanks for the video! I just have one question: I am looking for spoilers for my skiboots, but can't really find any. Do you have any tipps where i should look and where i can buy? (I have lange T130 Boots)
I got mine from SOLE in Chamonix. If you go to a bootfitter they should have a few laying around :-)
hei!great video! what is your battery management with go pro and the drone on a trip?:)
Thanks for the video! I am planning on transiting towards the backcountry skiing this season and was really trying to figure the gear. I guess if it holds well for your style of skiing, there should be no problem for a beginner for at least several years.
Have fun out there! And be safe :-)
Loved the video! How do you shoot with your drone, is it on follow mode some sort of follow mode or is someone always controlling it?
Thanks Danny! Always someone controlling. Either a dedicated pilot, or me and another rider with two controllers
Oh thats a nice suggestion and example. That may be the most durable gadgets for skiing. Thanks for sharing.
Which settings do you use for your POV GoPro footage?
Will do a video on all that later🙌🏻
Dude, great vid! Ive a question regarding the binding: How hard can you trust the pins when sending it? Iam 198 with 100kg, using the anima for deep snow but with a frame binding and an older daemon188 with the atk free for touring, but iam afraid of bigger drops with a pin binding:). Any troubles with that recently?
Works well for me at 85kg! Not sure how another 15kg will impact it
@@Nikolai_Schirmer Btw: What DIN setting u r using? 85kg istn leightweight and u stomping some big drops!;)
@@supermaxe he uses 12 the max on his binding :)
so it looks like you didn't mention anything about avalanche airbags, is there a reason for that? I am curious because I have heard experienced backcountry skiers say things like "avalanche airbags are either the last thing you get or the thing you never get because you should never be skiing in an area where an avalanche might happen," but don't they happen even when you think they won't? seems like if you are wrong that could directly be a life or death situation.
Great video, great info. Love black crows and norrona :). Atris is my favorite ski- I have them with a shift binding to use for resort and backcountry. Also have the camox freebird with a light touring setup. Thinking so hard about the Animas! Have you used the marker alpinist 12 binding? If so, how do they compare to the G3s?
I see a pink label on the Douchebag, it's that the one from Norwegian Air they use for heavy bags and says: 'Heavy like a pregnant elephant?'
Hey Nikolai, Amazing content as always, Have you ever been to Gulmarg? one of the highest Ski resort in world. Consider coming here 👍
Just a little camera to a price of 450USD and just a little drone to a price of 1600USD, haha
