- Guide down Upper International, Adrenaline, and Felsen at Alpental taken on 11 March 2021. All of these are very advanced runs, which together make a pretty awesome but challenging route from the top of Chair 2 to the base lodge. Upper International is a signature mogul run at Alpental, while Adrenaline is one of the steepest marked runs in the country. Felsen starts fairly tame, but gets progressively narrower until you feel like you're going down a bobsled run.
In this video, I make two mistakes. The first was I intended to ski Snake Dance, but I got so excited by the conditions on Adrenaline I went too far downhill to get to Snake Dance. The second mistake was gaining too much speed in Felsen, and I had to stop myself to stay in control.... Enjoy watching me bonk some branches with my helmet camera.
This really shows how tracked out and icy it can be even in March.
Thank you.
I’ve had one of your photos from the bark ball on my wall at Alpy for years. (22 years at my house on the hill road…)
I finally searched “Fergie Alpental” and learned how instrumental you’ve been to my experience here. You have my sincere gratitude for all you’ve given to our community. 💛✨
I'm glad to hear my photo has a good home! I've not been active with this project lately, but I really would get back on it. I moved up here last winter though, so I'm here all the time now!
this was first double-black run I ever did.
That old chair lift is a bit skeeeeeetchie.
Ok, that was awesome. I’d love to be able to see your skis but I know you can’t see everything. I skied Alpental and twice looked over the edge at International and twice said, “Nope.” And hiked back to Edelweiss Bowl, which is so secluded and awesome too.
nice sun. have not done international in 30 years. thanks for the vid
Upper International to adrenaline to snake 🐍 dance is my favorite at Alpental. ❄️
Would have been nice had he actually done snake dance.
Nice
Thx for sharing... too bad wasn't powder. I'm glad Alpy is still true with the double chair.
Wow, moguls, to moguls, to more moguls. Incredible.
Fun times! #Keep$hredin'
Nice run I'll see it myself soon
Looks like a great day🎉.
I always rip the cliff on the left side of adrenaline but it gets kinda sketch with low coverage or ice
wouldnt send shit listening to that crunch! fuck I miss Alpy.
What camera did you shoot this with? Stabilization and clarity is great!
GoPro Hero 9, max stabilization mode.
Which run at upper international is better for first timers, im guessing adrenaline right
Adrenaline is extremely steep! For your first time up Chair Two, I'd make an immediate left off the chair and come down the bowl. For the first time on Upper International, stay on International and take Lower International.
@runsofsummitatsnoqualmie353 I've done the very steep runs at summit central, so I think I can handle adrenaline lol. And I've done the black diamond run at silver fur
Well did ya send 'er yet Brian??
Is international a lot scarier than edelweiss bowl and the fan (right underneath the ski lift)?
International is a bit steeper and icier but not too bad.
@@tanyag2499 can’t be icy right now lol. I’m so tempted to go
@@yileiyilei5616 Yeah I was there yesterday and it was mostly soft spring snow. Upper International was quite crusty though because it's in the shadow of the mountain. Still really fun though. Sucks that Alpental is closed until Friday.
@@tanyag2499 ah interesting. I assumed all spring snow. I’m not too familiar with the consequences of skiing spring snow except that it’s a bit stickier so a bit slower. The only downside I’m aware of of for such a steep hill is that it’s a bit harder to turn. Would you say if there’s anything else? Also thanks for the heads up I was deciding between Thursday and Friday haha
