Whenever Sid shows up with the subalpine mini-monster truck you know it's going to be a special experience. Look at that snow and all those pillows. If that doesn't get you jazzed up and ready for some serious fun I don't know what will. So many beautiful picturesque shots in that area from a frozen lake to almost ghosted tress and pillows everywhere. Spectacular is the word of the day. As always it's even more fun to share with some friends and have an epic all natural ski day adventure. As always thanks for sharing my friend. Here's to the start of an epic year with blue sky powder days and fast chairlifts for everyone! East coasters included!! Everybody gets some!
Spectacular is the word for sure Or as Sid said "Intensely Sick"... Thanks for passing on the pre season cheers to everyone including our beloved east coasters! It's gonna be one hell of a season.
Update from your last video... I just finished my last exam of medical school, and I came home to see you've uploaded. Thank you for uploading James. I enjoyed celebrating my day by watching your video!
Bro! Your videos are always top-notch, but this is a masterpiece! Great music, and oh, the colours around minute 12 are just stunning! You deserve at least a million views! A big hug from Toronto!
Nice to see you getting the drone involved, that's the next step up. Snow's definitely back on the menu, can't wait to get some more lines in. Last weekend was indeed quite rad. Snow was even better Saturday, all soft no crust
Big ups to @RandomActsOfMusic1 who was the drone pilot. I still don't own one and already carry so many electronics. It's super cool having another touring partner stoked about capturing the cool moments! Dude... so much snow on the menu. I think we are well endowed already for this season.
So funny: the super fitting ominous sounding music clip through the forest with the smoke rising, the trees all cut down, and destroyed! Then contrasted when you guys reach the snowy majestic mountain top views: It’s like you guys where on a Modern day “Lord of Rings” epic adventure!!! The drone footage was pretty sweet. Back in the day before drones you would had to rent a super expensive helicopter to get that video footage.
Another epic video my friend. The snow, the views and all the fun were incredible. When I watched this video here from Brazil, in a 35ºC sun, I was just thinking about the freezing wind as you descended these slopes. Simply incredible, thank you again.
Nice buddy. I'm a boarder but partially because of how fun you make it look I've bought a ski setup. Here's to a couple of seasons of back to the basics.
No way dude! Can't believe I made ya think about converting. I'll be jealous when you can do both. Pull out the skis to get wild and weird and pull out the board to surf pow. Best of both worlds for real.
My local resort is opening on the 22nd! Dude that looks FRESH AND DEEP! I like to see the early season content. So entertaining! Definitely going to upload some sick content on my channel with the DJI Osmo Action 4 I just received.
Great Video as always James…so good even my wife watched it all the way through. That snow was In-Sane! So good to see how your content has come on. It was always good but now the camera work is so professional! Mad when you look back on some of the Warren Miller movies and compare it to what is available today.
The wifey watched the whole way through!!! That's the ultimate compliment. It's crazy eh. The fact a guy with zero budget can film this good compared to multi-million dollar productions. It really opens the door to more creativity in the industry.
Hi James loving my ski fast burn ass gaiter and thanks for getting it over to the UK so quickly I can't wait to shred with it on over in the Italian Alps
Paul! That's wicked dude. You lucked out and got the order in before this stupid Canada Post strike. I can't a different shipping provider so I'm waiting in limbo. You'll have to send some pics of you repping the brand in the Alps. Love that! Thank you.
Frigen eh! Nice ,Thanks for the trip down.,Did try surfing and snowboarding both….so glad I did at least try and cheers to all others who do these two pastimes.
Thanks for coming along. Of course I've tried snowboarding and surfing. Both are amazing feelings. I'd for sure surf loads in the summer if I had access to good water.
Great segment! Lugging those alpine boards for multiple laps gonna make you strong! Still probably a way better call than a light touring ski in those heavy and crusty conditions.
@@riseandalpine You have plenty of yrs before you likely need to make the switch unless you do a multi day adventure. Heard the Enforecer Unltd is a great comprimise for us Coastal skiers - lighter but still strong enough for heavy snow and to not be sketch city on firm snow. Get Nordica to send you some just share you recent touring vid!!
Yo Ron! Thanks for the love. This one was a wild ride. Letting the quads rest for a few days before ripping some chair laps at Whistler. Going to be a deep start to the season.
I want a "little truck"! Backseat addition is clutch! Long season brother. Pace yourself. I'm in Charlotte, NC. SouthEast had a scene. Club. Going to Shweitzer end of Feb. with my Sis. Never been to Idaho before. Super STOKED! Pacific Northwest? Landlocked Selkirks. Cat skiing a day. Lake Pend Orielle looks really sweet.
PLEASE send some of the white stuff to the Ice Coast! We are suffering miserably in warm temps. 50's here in NH! Very jelly! Fantastic video and some epic shots! Keep on uploading!!!
That ski out was trippy eh! I'd love to but unfortunately the Whistler Backcountry and surrounding areas is a no fly zone for drones. It's a helicopter air traffic zone so you can't fly anything without special permissions.
We’re not getting anything like that down in the states right now, holy cow! Doesn’t matter too much since I’m starting my season with a knee injury though 😭
Seeing all this snow on the North shore has me ready for what ever adventure you went on on the 19th, don't tell me you didn't, I know that's just not the case.
Sweeet! It's gonna be a blast. Appreciate ya trying to buy sauce, but I don't sell it in person for cash, I only sell the sauce via the website, things get way to complicated if I do in person sales with taxes and all. See ya up there.

Spectacular is the word for sure Or as Sid said "Intensely Sick"... Thanks for passing on the pre season cheers to everyone including our beloved east coasters! It's gonna be one hell of a season.
Thanks for sending hope to the east! We might be getting what we’re looking for this weekend!
Hell yeah buddy! James, come rip this week!!
The quality of that snow for mid November is unreal! This season is gonna rip, stoked for what you have in store!
We are so set for winter. I'm so excited!
@@riseandalpine Do it!!!
Another great edit brother ! Keep it coming. Just heard Revy has 200+ already ! Gonna be all time this year
I heard that too! Whistler isn't far behind. I'm tempted to hit Revy for opening day!
@ it’s gonna be all time best opening day for sure
Enjoy your start to the WB season!
You are an absolute legend! Thank you so much fir the support. This will fill my gas tank on the way up to Blackcomb & Whistler opening days!
Update from your last video... I just finished my last exam of medical school, and I came home to see you've uploaded.
Thank you for uploading James.
I enjoyed celebrating my day by watching your video!
Congrats!!! So on to residency now?? Certainly you have to take some time off to ski pow right?
Epic as always man
Your videos always pump me up for the ski season!
Glad I'm getting you stoked for skiing!
Easily the most beautiful scene you've ever brought us my dude. Thanks to you! 🎉🎉
Living it was absolutely insane. The line, the snow, the lake, the sunset colors. What a beautiful planet we live on!
Beautiful.....I think the best snow yet this year for ya....Breathtaking!!
Best snow & most beautiful day for sure!
So cool to get to join and help film, thanks for putting up with my fat old guy pace and many bails. You guys are awesome!
Always a blast ripping with ya Mark. Thanks for flying the drone! The shots turned out epic.
Bro! Your videos are always top-notch, but this is a masterpiece! Great music, and oh, the colours around minute 12 are just stunning! You deserve at least a million views! A big hug from Toronto!
Thanks for the hug! Really love this one as well. It's so great when the weather corporates! What a day :)
you got the ****** drone!!! yay, lets go!!! 7:30 shot looks sooooo gooood!
All the drone shots are thanks to Freestyle Mark @RandomActsOfMusic1 Let's give him some love!
The sunset ride looks out of this world wow!
I'm still dreaming about it... Those colors were insane!
What an epic day! I can't tell you how much I loved this video! And I don't even ski
That is the ultimate compliment!
That is THE SMALLEST truck I've ever seen!
It looks even smaller in person hahaha
size don't matter. if she goes, she goes...
@ those are like the Prius’ of F150s lol! Love it
@@YouTubular1234 That's one hell of a machine...
It’s a kei truck
Nice to see you getting the drone involved, that's the next step up.
Snow's definitely back on the menu, can't wait to get some more lines in. Last weekend was indeed quite rad. Snow was even better Saturday, all soft no crust
Big ups to @RandomActsOfMusic1 who was the drone pilot. I still don't own one and already carry so many electronics. It's super cool having another touring partner stoked about capturing the cool moments!
Dude... so much snow on the menu. I think we are well endowed already for this season.
Love these group videos, best energy. Almost no more rock skis already, Living The DREAM!
On the big twigs from here on out!
What an incredible start to the season you are having. Loved the drone shots. That ski out down Shark Road was just hectic!
The shark pillow alley at the end was insane
So funny: the super fitting ominous sounding music clip through the forest with the smoke rising, the trees all cut down, and destroyed! Then contrasted when you guys reach the snowy majestic mountain top views: It’s like you guys where on a Modern day “Lord of Rings” epic adventure!!!
The drone footage was pretty sweet. Back in the day before drones you would had to rent a super expensive helicopter to get that video footage.
So true! So lucky we live in a time where we can afford to make such beautiful videos with a few small portable cameras.
You nailed it with “we may not ski like pros but we can film like pros.” Production value is crazy, really some beautiful shots. Professional af
It's important to be self aware hahaha
The view at 13:40 is insane! The golden light illuminating the clouds while the right side is lookin cool and frosty 🙌🏼🔥❄️
I still can't get over it!
Another epic video my friend. The snow, the views and all the fun were incredible. When I watched this video here from Brazil, in a 35ºC sun, I was just thinking about the freezing wind as you descended these slopes. Simply incredible, thank you again.
So crazy you're sitting in the sunshine! I'm freezing my Nards off hahha
Nice buddy. I'm a boarder but partially because of how fun you make it look I've bought a ski setup. Here's to a couple of seasons of back to the basics.

Nice seeing some snowboarders in your crew!
Love having split boarders along!
Looking good for this winter so far. Hope the snow will still with us longer than last year!
It will!
My local resort is opening on the 22nd! Dude that looks FRESH AND DEEP! I like to see the early season content. So entertaining! Definitely going to upload some sick content on my channel with the DJI Osmo Action 4 I just received.
SICK dude. I'll check out some of your vids!
Dude, what an unreal day! That chute was DREAMY
Best part was still the boat seat in the back of the mini!
@@riseandalpine 🤣
dude the tree run with the low yellow sun and the frost blue mountain. amazing shots
Never going to forget that moment. The gap in the clouds was just too much. Still grinning!
those drone shots are 😍😍😍 great vid once again
Glad you liked the new perspective! Can't do it on the ski resorts but it's super cool for the backcountry.
Skiing back on the rocky creek trail down to the truck was actually wicked. Great content bro!
The ski out in early season is always more exciting than the actual ski line!
Great Video as always James…so good even my wife watched it all the way through. That snow was In-Sane! So good to see how your content has come on. It was always good but now the camera work is so professional! Mad when you look back on some of the Warren Miller movies and compare it to what is available today.

Bro turned misfortune into an ad. Next level ad read. Respect.
Had to pass the time walking back to get the camera LOL.
that susnset was beautiful i really like how there was a hole in the clouds with the mountains
You couldn't write something more beautiful than that. I love this planet!
Hi James loving my ski fast burn ass gaiter and thanks for getting it over to the UK so quickly I can't wait to shred with it on over in the Italian Alps

Sickest pow for the year so far. Make's me miss BC so much....
100% - leaving BC for any period of time always kills me
That ride into the sunset! Some of the bedt ski footage ive ever seen😆
Dude... Moments like that are one in a million! So unbelievable.
Frigen eh! Nice ,Thanks for the trip down.,Did try surfing and snowboarding both….so glad I did at least try and cheers to all others who do these two pastimes.
Thanks for coming along. Of course I've tried snowboarding and surfing. Both are amazing feelings. I'd for sure surf loads in the summer if I had access to good water.
That's some top-notch TH-caming. Loved the intro, Sid is the man!
Thanks! I agree Sid is a total legend. Go subscribe to his YT channel, it's also hilarious :)

Hanging with buddies is always the best part of any day!
Great video. Your enthusiasm is infectious.
Thanks for tuning in Rick. Hard not to be smiling with a day this good!
Thank you for an awesome video-I loved the truck! Cheers with hot sauce from the Norwegian Pow!
So awesome you're watching from Norway! CHEERS :)
This seasons going to be wicked- cheers for keeping us stoked🔥🔥
It's amazing we already have such a solid base!
That sunset was awesome! One of your best videos imo
Thanks Carson. I'm going to dream about that sunset for a long, long time.
Gotta love those early season exits... Spicy
Best part of the day!
Sick! can't wait to get over your way
By the time you get here it's going to be soo deep!
Nice lines Crusty. 👏 can’t wait to get back to BC after Japow
Pretty sick you're getting Japow and BC pow in a season!
Makes up for last season😂
Looks magical😮💨
That first great backcountry day is almost a spiritual experience!
Nice drone footage and great ski out!
Glad ya liked the addition of some aerial shots!
Love the drone shots!
All courtesy of Freestyle Mark @RandomActsOfMusic1 Huge thanks to him for capturing the sick drone moments.
Great segment! Lugging those alpine boards for multiple laps gonna make you strong!
Still probably a way better call than a light touring ski in those heavy and crusty conditions.
I've only ever known heavy :). I'm afraid of the day I finally get on real touring gear. Not sure we have the snow for it consistently on the coast.
@@riseandalpine You have plenty of yrs before you likely need to make the switch unless you do a multi day adventure. Heard the Enforecer Unltd is a great comprimise for us Coastal skiers - lighter but still strong enough for heavy snow and to not be sketch city on firm snow.

Very beautiful! Living vicariously through you.💗
So happy to have you tuning in.
@@riseandalpine James, stay safe in the backcountry. Tried it couple of times, quite sketchy and mostly missing the chairlift a lot!!!
Finally in a dependable vehicle.
Seriously... You're not even going to believe the newest update on the F1-Shifty
@riseandalpine is there going to be a video?
Loving the stoke. Great channel. Keep up the stoke!!
As long as it's snowing I'll be stoking
James - another banger! Earn the Turns - for realz! Thanks for the stickers and the sick content! Mad love bruh! ❤️
Yo Ron! Thanks for the love. This one was a wild ride. Letting the quads rest for a few days before ripping some chair laps at Whistler. Going to be a deep start to the season.

So sick meeting you at north shore ski and board!
JJ dude! Pleasure meeting ya as well. See you at Whis.
Amazing 🤩👍from Northern California 🇺🇸
Thanks for tuning in from Cali!
Snowboarding w/ poles is a game changer!!!
Totally! Genius move.
very epic video! dreaming of going touring one day myself too
You totally should get into it!
Getting outdone by a snowboarder there at the end aye! 😂😂😂😂😂
Ben absolutely rips dude! Probably would out ski me if we put him on skis hahaha
@riseandalpine I'm just havin' fun, of course. He looked really good on the snowboard.
That’s a good day right there also that vehicle suits the channel perfectly haha
The subalpine limousine is hilarious
Going were no mini truck dare going. Sick adventure my dude 🤙🏼
The mini is invincible!
Siiiick, saving this for the big screen at home!
Love that! My old man was saying the sunset lap looks insane on the TV
Absolutely amazing fellas!
Such a wicekd day
That mini truck is so sick
The Subalpinism limousine is pretty great eh!
@@riseandalpine @subalpinism we need stickers of the truck with the boat seat!
I Like your videos! I'm from Mexico, I actually live in Vancouver, i gotta do some snowboard this season!! FOR SURE!
Thanks! You for sure need to learn some snowboarding or skiing this season!
Sunset exit was sick. Way to get some.
One of the coolest moments ever.... Those alpine glows always blow my mind.
PLEASE send some of the white stuff to the Ice Coast! We are suffering miserably in warm temps. 50's here in NH! Very jelly! Fantastic video and some epic shots! Keep on uploading!!!
Would love to send snow your way... The Eastern boys gotta shred!
Pro content with a Temu truck. ❤
That boat seat was a legendary addition!
@@riseandalpine 🤣
@@Subalpinism we need stickers with temu truck with boat seat and subalpinism underneath it.
Wow a difference to last year. Stream skiing was hypnotic!
Can you take a drone if you do the Kees & Claire route this season? Awesome video as always
That ski out was trippy eh! I'd love to but unfortunately the Whistler Backcountry and surrounding areas is a no fly zone for drones. It's a helicopter air traffic zone so you can't fly anything without special permissions.
Sick backcountry lines Jimmy James. 🤙
Thanks Brother!
Snow in pemby!!
Unreal!
sick work fellas.. would love to join if i ever get this good !keep it up gents!
Thanks brother! We'll keep up the goofy adventures.
Saw you today at the lodge! I’ll keep an eye out for you during the season!
Right on! I'm always kicking around. Have a great season.
Whistler has another 30ish inches coming in the next week too. I'm just hoping we get enough cold weather to open in a few weeks lol
We are so set already in BC it's ridiculous.
Good god man so beautiful. Can’t wait to hit the slopes
Can't wait for you to get you're first turns!
Heavenly day guys 🎉
Still dreaming about it!
Dude skiing is going to be wild this year all the hill are opening in the next week in edmonton I can't imagine what's going to happen in season.
Sick! It's gonna be such a good season.
My hill opens this Saturday. wooooooooo
Let's gooo!!!!
Crazy camera shots! Very nice
Filming is made easy when the terrain is this gorgeous!
im in NZ and all i wanna do is go to BC and just hit mountain after mountain, so lucky! im hoping to go soon.
Get out here dude!
Have you ever been to big sky? The terrains crazy and there’s so much of it
No but I really really want to try it
only filmed on the x4 and x3? explain 5:06 pal. Day 5 wouldn't have to sit in the back of a k truck if you had a Ford Lightning
That's the new 43m invisible selfie stick... game changer ;). Imagine how nice it would be riding in a heated vehicle with suspension.
So good!! ❤
So good eh! Life is good!
We’re not getting anything like that down in the states right now, holy cow! Doesn’t matter too much since I’m starting my season with a knee injury though 😭
that feeling when knee surgery is tomorrow
nah just kidding but here in new England we are gonna get some snow for thanksgiving
Always feels better when you're not missing out on too much in recovery. Hope you have great recovery!
awesome video bro. looks like that little kei truck could use a set of tracks 😂
Dude! That's exactly what I said to Sid hahaha. It would make the approach way to easy for us LOL. That boat seat on the back worked wonders though :)
Head over to cypress their opening on Friday this week
That's awesome!
Yooo yall got the drone, sick!
My buddy mark brought it along. Super sick addition eh. Too bad we can't run it on or near any resorts or parks.
Love to see some splitboard / snowboard content!
Love having splitboarders along!
1:30 This angle makes it look like a video game.
Dude totally hahaha
this is so badass. 👍
Crazy day eh!
Awesome video, you are hilarious James! 😂
Glad you liked this one :)
What you are willing to do to your base when you are gifted your skis: 20:17.
I'd spend every hard earned dollar I have to not walk downhill in my boots hahaha
Seeing all this snow on the North shore has me ready for what ever adventure you went on on the 19th, don't tell me you didn't, I know that's just not the case.
You're gonna hate me but I didn't go anywhere on the 19th. Having truck troubles again.
@@riseandalpine As long as it's out of your control
Great vid
Thanks BURGUR!
Hey James, what was that noise you made at 11:15? 💦
Probably should check my bib pants...
12:21-12:30 and 13:39 Great camera work!
That sunset was insane eh!
Awesome dude!
Thanks dawg!
Big white opens on the 22 you should go man!
Had to hit the Whistler Storms!
Going up on saturdayyy gotta bring a $10 bill incase I see you so I can buy some of the ski fast burn ass
The snow looks amazing!
Sweeet! It's gonna be a blast. Appreciate ya trying to buy sauce, but I don't sell it in person for cash, I only sell the sauce via the website, things get way to complicated if I do in person sales with taxes and all. See ya up there.
The ride up was kinda sketch 🤣but those visuals skiing down especially with that sky were gorgeous. 😎
Some of the craziest shots ever eh
