Thank you all for the overwhelming support on this film. This is my first time making anything like this, it was a risk for sure, to abandon my style of quick and dirty action shots, in favor of a more cinematic style. You've all got me stoked to keep going! Expect bigger, better content from now on.
To say you scored is an understatement. Congratulations on the epic adventure!
Weather window, crew, and setting were circumstances you could never line up twice ✨ very grateful.
Wow, that was really great. Thanks for posting the link on teh TRG. Funny for me, as my low tide skis are DPS 112’s, my main backcountry skis are Praxis BC’s, and my main inbound skis are Ripsticks. I love the lengthy helmet cam sequences.
Yeah. Ripsticks are definitely an inbounds ski, but as Brennan and I like to say, we are skiers that became climbers, so we prefer the downhill performance over the ultralight skimo vibe.
As for the shots, I’m glad you liked it. I was definitely looking over the GoPro footage and realizing I had some real ski porn on my hands. Really dreamy powder in a very aesthetic place. Sometimes the challenge with these films is deciding how much of the experience can speak for itself, and this definitely did. Thanks for the watch !
I think those black editions would be perfect, and they seemed to be. Kinda surprised I don’t see them more in the wild. Under rated in a way. Anyway, really cool.
My heart stopped at some of those runs. Incredible and stunning footage.
Baffin Island looks like another world secluded.
I'm on my way to the Snowbound Expo and realized I hadn't watched this yet. A lot of fun, Dude. I enjoyed it. I'm on the bus so I'll see you and your Dad in a bit.🤘
See you soon!
What a crew and what an adventure. This is the shit dreams are made of
It's crazy seeing another POV of this. I watched Cody's video some weeks ago and now I found this. I'm looking forward to seeing more stuff like this, I'll be following your adventures!
Thank you! Yeah it’s kinda like a bonus episode in a way, an alternate perspective of the same experience. Thank you for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed it!
What an opportunity!! Your reverence for mentors and hunger is very cool to see in a young guy. I'm 58 and wish I had my (adventure) shit together when I was your age. New Sub and keep grindin'!!!!
That constriction at 21.50 was soooo cooool!!
Thank you! I appreciate that a lot. And yes, the constriction on the Model T is magical. Interestingly, I talked to the first descenionist and he didn’t experience anything like that back in the day, suggesting that a very large rock may have fallen into the couloir, creating that constriction
this video saved my marriage. this guy is real deal.
🔝It’s true I saw the whole thing
Yo Ryan thank you for buying me that Porsche
@@Tyuhvrrygvxr344 Rip a burnout on Glendale for me🏎️
Congratulations on the expedition of a lifetime!
So psyched to see this! Great job skiing, narrating, editing and putting both this trip and video together. An excellent video of an excellent area.
Thank you! I appreciate your approval!
That was awesome Ryan. You're amazing.
I need to work on my steep skiing, this looks incredible. The Svalbard of the Americas :)
Well done! Thank you for sharing your journey ❤
Such an amazing film! Filled with inspiration at every turn.
Thank you!
Seems like an endless place or leads to an endless place.
That looked like an awesome trip! Funny to see you pop up on my feed- I saw your video from Kirkwood years ago when I was trying to show my friend some of the spots from Kirkwood.
That is funny. To this day that’s my most viewed video haha
@@extreme_ryan_delena that’s awesome. Kirkwood was firing last year with all the snow!
@@TheAdamcarvalho I saw! Conditions looked incredible
Legendary trip!
Don't forget; mountains are walls. And can eventually, get in your way. People who climb Mount Everest are looking for more than a trophy. They die up there looking for a world they don't fit into vibrationally.
Great turns its like a dream good job. C u at hojos
I say other worlds are on Earth beyond the circles and walls and mountains from the ground up. And way up. That's why we have star gates to THE GREAT UNKNOWN.
Dope!
Thank you!
Sweet movie man! I just move to Baffin Island and am learning how to ski in hopes of confidently skiing down a couloir one day
No way where on Baffin do you live ?
Pangnirtung, its part of Baffin Mountains@@extreme_ryan_delena
Great video. Was wondering about those blue, dish glove looking’ gloves Ryan is wearing. What are those ?
That is the Atlas Temres, aka the Cadillac of ice climbing gloves. While they’re only 20 bucks on Amazon, they’re insulated on the inside, grippy on the outside, and have wicked dexterity for tying knots and clipping carabiners. I started using them for ice, and like them so much I just used them everywhere.
The one downside is they wear out fast, but they’re cheap enough that it doesn’t hurt to get a new pair when you need to.
thx, at that price i thnk i will give them a try. thx again for the vid. I enjoyed it, @@extreme_ryan_delena
@@ericdufresne4085 anytime! Glad you enjoyed the video. First time creating something like this so I’m stoked to get it out there.
Living large!
Livin like Larry 🦞
I have a birth mark on my finger that looks like Baffin Island map.
Awesome world; empty.
So sick
Did you ski Polar Star before the fifty team?
They climbed it about 40 min ahead of us since they hadn’t explained who we were in the story yet. We topped out all together and skied it staggered.
Are you willing to share logistic/travel/guide info? Looks like an amazing trip and is high on my bucket list
Happy to give you a rundown on all the logistics.
I would love to know this as well pretty please, you've inspired me to start ticking the bucket list items
