Yeah, the dictates of social media have resulted in a less than desirable switch in video format. Alas, the widescreen format is an endangered species. I did this line with a partner named Andrew Eckles. He was just kind enough to allow me the honors on most of the route. Definitely not something I'd be comfortable doing alone.
Thanks, Paul! The ascent line was completely different from the descent. It climbed Melakwa Point from the W/SW just on the south side of Melakwa Pass.
Honestly that is some of the best skiing I’ve ever seen. Outrageous stuff 😮
Loved the rip down the ridge! Thanks for adding context via the overview shots.
My pleasure! Yeah, that ridge is a little slice of heaven (if the snow is stable!)
Excellent. Our backyard is amazing! Nice job giving people a sense of where you were in the mountain.
Our backyard is the most amazing. Can't get enough!
Very nice. Thanks for sharing some of the ascent. It shows the whole experience
Bro...so well done with longstanding patience...achieving perfection on a such a rowdy line!
As Stuart Scott used to say, Cool as the other side of the pillow! Well done.
Ha! Love it!
Sick. Some huge pucker moments. You made it look easy.
Nothing like good snow to make things look easy!
Super ❤
That was insain it must of took like 6 to 7 hours to climb up that
Wow awesome ski, love this content type with the location shown on the mountain
Cool line!!
Incredible!
and one man shall be King in the Land of Gnar!
Epic🎉
Cheers, mate!
Nice line Scott, some serious steeps there!. I drove through the pass on 90 to The Ridge 10 days ago and it was snowing still.
Thanks! Yeah, this seems to be the winter that never ends right now. Currently still snowing in the mountains!
For sure the climb was more puckering than the descent!
Nice.
Wished you filmed this in portrait mode. You did this solo? You are on another level.

Reminds me of the time I skied a red run… 🤣
Ha! Totally :)
Wow. Great video! Did you ski your ascent line, or did you add a few 'variations' on the descent? Very impressive.

@@ScottRinckenberger Wow - even more impressive! Incredible, what an accomplishment. 👏
