    "We're skiing on rocks" - Danny
    "So, I borrowed Christoff's skis..." - Matt

      I work as a ski tech in a shop that does AT rentals - I routinely take out the shop's skis on days like these.

    I would love to an episode where you guys discuss your jobs/career.

      @TheTrey181 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I agree. And also an application so I can live like Danny.

  • @TheVirtualsherpa

    I have never seen you guys take so many breaks before, Christoff must have some SERIOUS FOMO on this one.

  • @markwerner7840
    @markwerner7840 3 ปีที่แล้ว +70

    I feel for Christoff. To add insult to injury, Matt made sure your skis had the fun you were missing out on!

    Danny, Thank you, Blake, Christov, Matt, Aaron, ( sorry for misspells ). You and crew have started the " living Vicariously through others" Through the 3 years we've watched, we have expanded our hiking excursions, terrain. Further, You guys are our retreat from the world's B.S. Thank you again, keep it up, Please

    I am old and broken from many decades of adventures. You guys keep me smiling and remembering the steep and deep and the whitewater rivers back when I was young. Power on while you can.

    Official Counter: Mediocre Amateur videos since Danny's last puke: 6!
    I wasn't holding out much hope for action on this video. I've gotten use to not having Blake on a video, but not have Blake and Christof? Matt is the LAST person I would expect to brown bagging it. See you next video.

    Hot coffee and the adrenalin rush from watching you all on Mediocre Amateur.

  • @BadHikers

    We all miss when Christoff isnt around but his FOMO almost makes up for it know that he is missing out. Epic trip guys, thanks so much for sharing!

    Gotta ski Humphreys in Flagstaff, you are at 12000+ while looking down into Sedona and the Grand Canyon!

    • @H7B2ify
      @H7B2ify 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      But isn't it in a ski resort? Could make it more convenient but less fun. But I do agree, Humphrey's and Tuk probably have the best panoramas in the nation

    @stephenverchinski409 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    About 20 years ago I hiked up and skied that line going down the SW gully on Mt. Tuk. Old pair of Rossignols did just what I needed. Came out at sunset and smiled at the solo.
    Sure beat the drop at Tuckerman's back east in the spring.

    What camera are you saying for the cinematic wide angle shots? Also how do you manage to get your GoPro footage to look so clean? Is it making sure it’s uploaded in the quality it was shot in? Thanks!

  • @markusschmied2237
    @markusschmied2237 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you guys for this awesome post! The moment you are traversing that ridge from Peale to Tuk and then up the final incline to Tuk seems like you are on top of the world, somewhere in the Himalayas! Wow! Got 2 questions: 1) Weren't you scared of avalanches? Living in the Austrian Alps, I've done my fair share of off-piste skiing and I must say in the face of these free, steep slopes I'd have been most worried about avalanches! 2) How did you find your way back from Tuk to your starting point through all these dense aspen groves??
