If skiing had a trailer, this would be it. Unreal work guys, this is insane - best video on the internet 100% genuinely cannot express how cool I thought that was, how do you manage to make every video film quality??!
Gotta say, the shots have been on another level in the last few films I've watched, 9:20 - 9:40 especially. Vetle is super nice behind the lens. Good stuff out there!
I think this is one of my favorite youtube videos i ever whatched! Everything, from the cinematic shots, the story, the skiing and especially the music! The music you chose for this feels and sounds like someone really wrote this music exactly for the use in this video! So really, i think i watched it daily for the last 30 days. Thanks for that, and good work especially to Joonas and Vetle!
Oh my gawd! This episode brought me to the edge of tears, from pure awe and happy!! A superb job 👏. The skiing, filming, music, editing. Everything. Also Nikolai, can we have a personal update video on Joonas please? I do hope he's coping and recovering well. He is a *massive* part of your videos and life. Be great to hear from him (if he's up to it!) Much love team.
Awesome, awesome vid. What I especially appreciate is the way you show that you 'earn your turns'. Because damn those were some beautiful, dopamine-inducing, hard-earned turns.
Yess! The collab of the collabs! This season so far has been treating us very well... had 2 deep pow days out of 4 days on skis. Last pow day before was probably 2 years ago...
I'm pretty new around here. I've known about your content for maybe a month, but I must say, the quality of the content, the editing, skiing, story, ypu guys, your morals and ideals, everything's perfect. Very inspirational gentlemen.
thanks for the video, thanks for being frank and epoviding reminders to all. last but not least, wish Jonas will recover asap and joining the team soon.
Que pasada de vídeo! 😮Que flipe de nieve. 😮Increíble! 🙌🏼 Por favor más vídeos como estos! Cuando vuelva Joonas hacéis más! Pero que siga Vetle! Que maquina!
Agree this has to be one most beautiful videos you've done Niko - love how the video, music and sound effects come together. A request however for future videos: Why don't you show us more what happens "behind the scenes" when it comes to your decision making? As someone who does a lot of ski touring in Norway myself I would love to see more of you guys doing ECTs, discussing type av avalanche problem you are expecting etc. That would be both educational and a way to make people understand that there is a lot more to it than just dropping epic lines and that all the storm/wind slabs you see releasing in this video was expected (I hope...).
Thanks! And thanks for the input too. My intention has been to show the avalanche problems we discuss when it’s relevant. Like in the vanilla ice couloir, where we’re constantly discussing stability through the lower half, doing a few tests that show it’s stable, but then reacting too slowly when the snow suddenly changes in the upper half (due to bad group dynamics). Looking at it again, I would have made my initial avalanche problem hypothesis even more clear, to show how hard is to make these calls. Also I would have showed all the objectives we didn’t go to that day, because of that hypothesis. In this video here it was actually more of a «just go up and shred spines» kind of scenario. There were no reported persistent weak laters, with steady temps and snow fall for weaks, and while of course we knew that amount of powder on a steep slope would move once we started riding, the slope was small with a clean runout so we agreed it was not a problem. And so I didn’t make a big deal out of it :) We’ve had a whole week skiing amazing snow in Austria now too, in conditions that haven’t required a single ECT. Sometimes it’s just «oh it’s safe, let’s go». There are other videos where I go very in depth about decision making, and I don’t think every video has to be that. Sometimes it’s good to just celebrate the joy of skiing. That being said. There will be ECTs hehe. Loads of them. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the thorough reply @@Nikolai_Schirmer. Yeah maybe it's just me being an avalanche geek, but I think your videos would be even better if you spent like a minute in each video, even when the conditions are epic, and shared your decision making process. What were the avy conditions on this day? What was the weather history? What were your alternatives? What tests did you use (ECT, hand shear, belayed ski cuts etc)? Or if you don't want to pollute the video with it - perhaps write a detailed Debrief in the description of each video of the decisions you made? I think it that would make your videos even more relevant to the community and not just another video of The Boys out shredding epic lines.
Looking forward to see you ski the Les Contamines spines! Was in that zone last week for some of the mellower lines. Together with my Norwegian girlfriend Hannah you met at Möo a few weeks back 😅 Enjoy your season!
That was so epic ! I loved to see all the little avy slabs going off and you all skiing next to them, amazing shots and also very interesting about how the lines you chose were not affected by the problem. Thanks for the insane video as always !
Have you thought about adding a FPV drone to the collection? If you watch the shot at 14:19 in sammy carlsons ‘Kamase’ you can see how amazing they can be
Always fancied something like this, but I’m a bit too old now (60) to start taking up split-boarding. You even make the boot packing look steady-away. Keep up the great film output
Vids keep getting better and better, even though I already commented on that a season or two ago… When you’re skier (on a totally different level though 😂) and know the feeling a fresh deep snow in your face, you get goosebumps when watching something like this! But, I have one criticism here: what are the 3 cheeses Niko? You never finished your sentence about the cheeses (and yes, am french but still prefer powder)
Haha so I can’t actually remember the name of the first one, but it’s very mild, from the summer when the cows eat fresh grass and flowers. Then there’s comte and beaufort😋😋😋😋😋
9:20 is one of the best shots ive seen. We all love Joonas but Vetle seems to have it all under control for the time being 😍
He does! Letting him know🤝
🙏❤️
This whole section from 9:20 to 9:40 was really cinematic. Another level from the composition of shots.
7:43 money shot as well
Dude the whole vid was an absolute banger. Holy smokes!
I ski here ever year, its never been beaten in my opinion. The freeriding here is some of the BEST in the world!!!
This year incredible how many people were there
What is the face exactly?
@@Percolator042 I'm not sure of this face, i don't recognise it
I’m jealous you get to ski in Cham…your take is about as obvious as a fart in an elevator 😆
@@Percolator042 it's further up in the valley, opposite vallorcine/buet going up into "Vallon Bérard". I suspect it is a little bit before.
Fuck me, the 20 seconds from 09:20 on are just breathtaking, like literally.
Thats the best skiing footage I've ever seen.
Passing that on to Vetle🫶
agreed 100%
If skiing had a trailer, this would be it.
Unreal work guys, this is insane - best video on the internet 100%
genuinely cannot express how cool I thought that was, how do you manage to make every video film quality??!
Incredible videography and soundtrack! You guys nail your edits like you nail your landings. 🤛
How lucky are we to enjoy this incredible content for free!? The internet is a beautiful thing. Much love to my European brothers from New England.
Gotta say, the shots have been on another level in the last few films I've watched, 9:20 - 9:40 especially. Vetle is super nice behind the lens. Good stuff out there!
Pop. Pop-pop-pop. Whoosh. *Sends off a cliff.* *Laughter*. "Your turn!"
You guys are legends.
Your videos are so enjoyable, I feel like I could watch them everyday all day. Thank you and your team! Keep up the great work. ❤
These videos are straight up euphoric, only way I can describe them. Thank you Niko.
3:32 reminds me of lord of the rings for some reason. Awesome episode and best choice for soundtrack! Can't wait for the next video!
I think this is one of my favorite youtube videos i ever whatched! Everything, from the cinematic shots, the story, the skiing and especially the music! The music you chose for this feels and sounds like someone really wrote this music exactly for the use in this video!
So really, i think i watched it daily for the last 30 days. Thanks for that, and good work especially to Joonas and Vetle!
No better start to the day then seeing Niko dropped a new video! ❤
Oh my gawd! This episode brought me to the edge of tears, from pure awe and happy!! A superb job 👏. The skiing, filming, music, editing. Everything. Also Nikolai, can we have a personal update video on Joonas please? I do hope he's coping and recovering well. He is a *massive* part of your videos and life. Be great to hear from him (if he's up to it!) Much love team.
This is my very favorite so far. Just pure joy - and nothing less! I feel it in my bone seeing this. Can’t wait to go skiing. Just another 10 days!
This Episode is a Masterpiece! I'd say my favourite. If this doesn't make you want to ski, i don't know what will...Fantastic work!
This is hands down, the sickest snowsport channel evver!!
Bangers only for real. Vetle killed these shots! 🙌🏼
Made me all teary eyed... pure mountain love.
Good lord, what a spectacular outing! Thanks for bringing us along!!!
The production value of this channel is incredible. Easiest subscription lately. Amazing work, guys. What a life!
You’re posting spree is helping me through my exams man😂
Awesome, awesome vid. What I especially appreciate is the way you show that you 'earn your turns'. Because damn those were some beautiful, dopamine-inducing, hard-earned turns.
Yess! The collab of the collabs!
This season so far has been treating us very well... had 2 deep pow days out of 4 days on skis. Last pow day before was probably 2 years ago...
This channel deserves at least 20 times more followers! 👌🙌
Snowboarder checking in for Krister Kopala content, nice work team
The quality of this video is incredible!! amazing shots :))
IDK how every one of these vids is like the best skiing vid of the year.
I'm pretty new around here. I've known about your content for maybe a month, but I must say, the quality of the content, the editing, skiing, story, ypu guys, your morals and ideals, everything's perfect. Very inspirational gentlemen.
Getting some View from a blue moon vibes with that Kishi Bashi - .absolutely killing it, Niko & crew!
Great filming of what looks like a great trip. Lucky lads!!
Another stonking ski film from Nikolai.. they're coming thick and fast now! 😃🤘🏼
I dont full screen video's often, but I always watch your vids full screen. Such awesome scenery, really enjoy watching your adventures.
Wow. The best ski content on the platform.
thanks for the video, thanks for being frank and epoviding reminders to all.
last but not least, wish Jonas will recover asap and joining the team soon.
always so blown away at how you guys climb these mountains so effortlessly. I would have to train for months to be able to do something like that
They do train for months 😃
they're pro athletes bro, not part timers
This has to be my favourite video from you since probably Endless Winter.
Unreal
so sick guys, thank you so much!!!
Goosebumps through that entire video. Absolutely insane. You guys are so incredibly good at making these movies. Thank you so much!
Love the close together downhill shots! Awesome snow conditions so it seems, despite some sluff breaks (better those, then slabs).
Would also love to see the food you consumed 😅
i cant stop watching these videos
You guys are truly sending the f#cking gnar! So nice we get to watch great skiing AND snowboarding.
This is what freedom looks like.
Another one🤙🏽🤘🏽Keep the great content comming for us who needs to sit this winter out with prolaps….. You inspire🦖⭐️⭐️
This is the video I will play for my children when they ask me what the perfect ski day is🤟🤟
Amazing stuff guys
Another great video Niko, keep it up! Please.
Que pasada de vídeo! 😮Que flipe de nieve. 😮Increíble! 🙌🏼

Fantastic - just getting better and better🎉. Thanks.😊
Sick edit and ripping down some epic terrain. I love your channel.
amazing! love the stuff your doing with jakob. He is such a cool dude
That mountain was like, “Wait…what’s happening here?” Eff’ing amazing! Head bowed from a thankfully snowy high Colorado, 🇺🇸
Reportage incroyable, très belle réalisation les amis, bravo et merci
Looking forward to see you ski the Les Contamines spines! Was in that zone last week for some of the mellower lines. Together with my Norwegian girlfriend Hannah you met at Möo a few weeks back 😅 Enjoy your season!
Best Ski content on the planet! Amazing Video!
You guys are crazy. Great video, love it.. Never done that in chamonix... Thought Skiing from the top of Argentiere was bad enough. Love the video
This gives me a taste of freedom omg
The rick and north song goes hard. Fire vid! Thanks legends! 🔥🔥
Spetacular views Chamonix looks like the best time ever 🤙🤙
Top tier cinematogropghy and skiing! Masterpiece
Great video as always!
Incredible stuff. Joonas consitency is weighted by new angles and more of playing jazz. This was lyrics on snown!
Beautiful work boys 💪
Incredibile shots📹
Sick snow, epic ridding, great shots.
Perfect. Maximum stoke. Insatiably unreal.
Stoked for the next one that looks ridiculous
nice to see Jacob here!
really enjoyed the editing in the last few videos, feel cleaner!
krister going crazy speeds!
You guys make me want to go skiing sooo bad. Just 30 days and ill be in the mountains to
Love it, so sick!
awesome
can't wait for next part :D
Dream team 🔥 Vetle has a great eye!
Killing it keep it up
That was so epic ! I loved to see all the little avy slabs going off and you all skiing next to them, amazing shots and also very interesting about how the lines you chose were not affected by the problem. Thanks for the insane video as always !
Awesome Video as always, absolutely love your work. Little bit jealeos ;)
Aldri kost meg mer med videoene dine! Fantastisk kvalitet!
Krister butter was nasty...strong work everyone
Lars Andreas Nilssen, you absolutely nutcase of a sound man. A blast, as always
Have you thought about adding a FPV drone to the collection? If you watch the shot at 14:19 in sammy carlsons ‘Kamase’ you can see how amazing they can be
Astonishing content 🎉🎉🎉
Insane shots
So good ! Music choice was on point !!!!!
The Music. Is it Kite? Sounds like Kite.
This is so good
legendary
Encroyable.
You can thank God for this creation HE created for you...BOYZZZZZZZZ!!! Nice work getting down in 1 piece. Respecting nature and God!!!
Really hope you visit Klosters one year! Love the vids though 🎉
i'm speechless
So much stoke from this
Always fancied something like this, but I’m a bit too old now (60) to start taking up split-boarding. You even make the boot packing look steady-away. Keep up the great film output
Love the lower back pain joke 😂 good laugh even tho you left the punch line out 😂
Legends at work just 😍
fire song selection
Vids keep getting better and better, even though I already commented on that a season or two ago…
When you’re skier (on a totally different level though 😂) and know the feeling a fresh deep snow in your face, you get goosebumps when watching something like this!
But, I have one criticism here: what are the 3 cheeses Niko? You never finished your sentence about the cheeses (and yes, am french but still prefer powder)
Haha so I can’t actually remember the name of the first one, but it’s very mild, from the summer when the cows eat fresh grass and flowers. Then there’s comte and beaufort😋😋😋😋😋
@@Nikolai_Schirmer maybe Tomme? :D
another banger
Can't believe you drove down from Norway Niko!
