@@skierpage Don't get me wrong I love the video and Nikolai but I do feel that putting that in the video kind of promotes recklessness in the backcountry. There are more and more channels trying to teach people to not go into the BC unprepared and this is kind of the exact opposite of that.
@@IIllIllllIIlllIlllll Thanks! I get what you're saying, but these videos are in no way scripted, or intending to be anything but entertaining. I cut together the most exciting bits of what happens out there, in a truthful manner. Pretending that we have it all figured out at all times would just be wrong.
When the things even look that steep in the video, you know that you would shit your pants in real life. Nikolai Schirmer surely is one of the most talented skiers out there.
Don't be fooled by these idiots. They post their success only. And in two weeks or months they will have a huge accident. Don't fuck with the mountains. They always get you in the end.
This film is Oscar material. Sweeping vistas. Raw humanity. Action. Suspense. Salvos of euphoric transcendence delicately balanced by glimpses of absolute terror. A masterpiece.
I cant find the words to describe the quality of this content, the production quality is amazing, the skill level is amazing, the personalities are amazing. Keep it up!
Man. Your videos are so awesome. I can watch them every morning just to get the kick one can feel when up in the mountains!!!!! Thank you. You guys rock!
This season you're spoiling us with incredable contet Niko! Much prefer this years way of doing videos to last, with that said I still loved what you did last year. Keep it up!
That song hooked me from the start. I've skied my whole life in Vermont (east coast of the US), so skiing rocks and ice is second nature, but the mountains here are small with little exposure. It's my dream to get this rowdy one day. The cinematography on this channel is of epic quality and the commentary is on point. Easiest it has ever been to hit that Subscribe button. You guys have given me inspiration to start making videos again for my own crappy little adventure channel.
I have never watched a 15 minutes Vlog with so many emotions. Happiness, Fear, Excitement, MORE FEAR... Crazy man. I am a freerider myself but this shit is on another level!
@@kevinanderson829 - It’s the only ski resort I’ve ever been to where you see more people with climbing harnesses, carabiners, ropes, ice axes, etc. than without!
i skied Chamonix about five or ten years ago. We got tons of new snow but they had us roped off like cattle. Everywhere I went, it was groomed trail skiing only. Frustrating to say the least. Ducking ropes there is intimidating. These guys are unbelievable!
Another good one, Nikolai. Interesting to see the Cosmique so variable and then you guys get complete blower in the sun on the second lap. High quality bonus. But even with the shitty snow at times, skiing to the valley is pretty sweet. BTW, your exit onto the Bossons was tres sketch balls! I was holding my breath.
Well, you've got a new subscriber. How does this not have millions of views? The quality is insane. The riding is insane. YT's suggestion algorithm finally did me right.
Wow. Wow! Solid skiing on amazing terrain. Excellent footage--good balance of action and "personable" moments. Glad you read the snow right: some of those passages looked necky avalanche-wise. Admire your stamina. Oh, to be young again...
No way I was feelin that music the whole way through! I'm a tiny bit afraid of heights, when I say a tiny bit I mean I'll watch you do this so I don't have to, but that music kept me sane watching you guys!
2:48 I can _hear_ what conditions there are lol, not good, if the skis are light it makes more sense how they're a hard fit. Also *amazing* shots, especially 2:32! I'm so glad I subbed, everything about this channel screams pure skiing joy, the kind I grew up with and try to revisit every now and then :D
Great videos! Its awesome to get the adventure as well as the skiing. Personaly I would like the clips from the gopro to be a litlle longer, and also that that you show the lines both from the drone-shot and the gopro. Its cool to see when you can see how it looks from above as well as in the gopro. I feel like i sometimes a part of the rund is cut out. I would love to see full runs or at least larger segments. Only an opinion, and this is really going in detail cause I really enjoy watching now as well.
Damn, I just found this channel and that mountain shredding is a dream to me. Don’t have anyone to go that far into back country or to take a trip with
Wow was I surprised by the quality of this video. One of the best ones I have seen in a long time. I would have wished to have more of the music threw the rides, I can see why you stop it at some points to make us here the "struggle", but I feel like it makes the really tense moments less exciting to watch when half of the video is weird voices and the wind blowing. This is just being very nit-picky, but wow this shit was awesome!!!
The quality of these vids and their skiing is incredible
*somewhere in mid alps: "Do you remember the knot?" ffs
13:32 "I always have to TH-cam it when I'm up here" 😂
"Uhh rocks"
Just do a European Death Knot. Instead of that double fishermen’s stuff.

Almost shit my pants just watching this.
I've been there before and can confirm: in real life this shit is STEEP.
7:39
"I feel there's a zero risk o dying a fair change of getting hurt" awesome, you're a legend
"I can live with that."
2 minutes later narrowly escapes an avalanche🤣 love it

The way she dodged the falling ice was amazing. That was life or death and one of the best reactions you could ever hope for.
11:50 "yeah this looks doable..."
Me an intellectual: "about 7% of that is doable"
about 1%
1:20 - What the... now thats a close call!
Emma with the ninja moves!
How has nobody else been commenting about this?!? She was like 1 second away from being nailed in the head with a chunk of ice
@@Nikolai_Schirmer what route was this? looks pretty!
Good head movement!
the cinematography is just great, storytelling on point, crazy rides. love it guys!!!
The ‘forgot boots’ sequence is like a horrible reoccurring nightmare I’ve had for the last 20 years! Amazing footage you guys are nuts!!
Yes, I live in Salt Lake, and the traffic to the resorts is awful on powder days, so I live in constant fear of forgetting some gear.
Phin 42 absolutely.. the shameful drive back down Little Cottonwood Canyon.. not ideal 😂
@@CBonesey Never had it happen to me, but I have had ski bindings malfunction twice, ending the day on the first run, which is also not ideal
Phin 42 That is also not fun! I had the same thing happen to me!!
@@phin422 You don't have ski shops at the station or in the town that could fix stuff or replace it in like 15 minutes?
This film is Oscar material. Sweeping vistas. Raw humanity. Action. Suspense. Salvos of euphoric transcendence delicately balanced by glimpses of absolute terror. A masterpiece.
The quality of the videos is great I can see so much effort
The cinematography of this project conveying the story is pure profession
Not click-baity enough
Another epic one! Damn
" i just found out the snow below is not good either" aka we might die. Niko Laughs...
That dodge at 1:18 was absolutely phenomenal. If she reacted 1 second later, she would've been in a world of pain.
Two years later and this short still has the best music and great editing. Thanks for the fun Niko!
Wow this his was gold! thx Nikolai, you’re such a chilled and talented dude :)

Imagine being on a ski lift with them and not knowing you're in the presence of such savages
oneindachamberlin - Chamonix everyone is full of people like that, so it’d be nothing remarkable.
@@Benzknees Yeah, but in Chamonix not everyone hikes into such incredible drops. On second thought, nearly No One mountaineers into such epic drops

It was just too cold for that snow to stick on anything slightly steep. Thanks!
We went there in summer and looked at the top. And than again the area below. Love watching you guys ski. I'm just an average skiier.
Unreal. Love the line "zero chance of dying, but a good chance of getting hurt....I can live with that".
RA Kennedy I mean, if there was a chance to die... you wouldn’t...
I don't know why, but this video is my favourite one on yt like I have watched it like 5 times in the past 2 days. You all are just a vibe
That's facts
Agree
"Zero risk of dying; fair chance of getting hurt" - words to live by :D
the editing in this video is some of the best i’ve seen from you... keep up the good work!
Thanks!
Well, you've got a new subscriber. How does this not have millions of views? The quality is insane. The riding is insane. YT's suggestion algorithm finally did me right.
Dean Likes Knives thanks for clicking the button! Glad the machine learning did it’s work right
I cannot believe at how quality this video is thank you guys so much for sharing best of luck with all your future expeditions!
The ending sequence is this is straight fire!!
真正的勇士们，要完成这些高难度的挑战，令人钦佩的勇气和娴熟的技术，二者缺一不可，你们都做到了。谢谢你们，我们才能以第一视角看到这么美丽的风景，如身临其境。
Wow. Wow! Solid skiing on amazing terrain. Excellent footage--good balance of action and "personable" moments. Glad you read the snow right: some of those passages looked necky avalanche-wise. Admire your stamina. Oh, to be young again...
this is by far the best 15'40" i've burned at my work-desk in a long time. thank you. Q: what tech binding are you on in this video?
RunSilentRunDeep1 hey thanks for watching. I’m on the G3 zed12
You are the single best ski youtuber I have ever come across
Well that's quite the honor. Thanks!
My favorite video right now everything is on point even the music 😍✨🗻
Hey happy you're into it haha, the music is getting a bit of hate
No way I was feelin that music the whole way through! I'm a tiny bit afraid of heights, when I say a tiny bit I mean I'll watch you do this so I don't have to, but that music kept me sane watching you guys!
Wow, amazing content with incredible filming, you've gotten yourself a new subscriber!
Joel Lundqvist thanks!
Litterally Amazing theres no way you have only 70k. Thank you for these videos.
This is officially my all time favorite youtube video.
Every episode should be diffused in cinemas 🤯
The best skiing in chamonix video in youtube man, awesome your drone shots!
After every video from Nikolai I need to go to the doctor from my Jaw dropping so hard against the floor! This one almost broke it! Fav youtuber 🙌
!!
That is sick. I love your editing style, really good rhythm. We always miss having more skiing part, which I think is a good sign!
This 15 minute video felt like a 1hr documentary and I still want more
First time seeing this video, didn't even blink my eyes. Feels like a billion dollar budget Hollywood stunt...you guys are legends !!!
Seriously deserve way more subscribers with the way these videos are made, excellent stuff!!
Thanks!
Commenting to get this on people’s feeds this quality is insane and deserves more recognition.
Thanks!

Hello, great video.
Which's the boot to use your friend in split board?
Oh my days this is heart dropping.. Coolest video ever!!!
Whew. For a second there I'd thought I'd get to see a full run but thankfully this is edited by the guy that did the Bourne fight scenes.
Bro you are a Incredible AMAZING Skiier!!! This video is so amazing. Thank you friend. So talented all of u.
Wow, thank you
Just exceptional the videos and the adventures. BRAVO
Really enjoyed this video - thank you. I felt that I was there with you (even though I'm strictly an en piste skier with dodgy knees).
Happy you did!

I loved seeing you drop in with 76mm width skis. Proof that you dont need to obsess over ski sizes.
Thanks for reading my misspelled 7.6mm right!
Where’s this guys play button he definitely deserves it I haven’t even started watching yet but just from the thumbnail on point !!!
how do you only have 22k subscribers this quality is amazing!!!!!!
THE.BEST. Snow channel on da youtubes
Can I come ski with you guys !?! What an adventure ! Love it ! Great video making and editing 👏🙌
Such a great video. The cinematic's are incredible.
Damn, I just found this channel and that mountain shredding is a dream to me. Don’t have anyone to go that far into back country or to take a trip with
Try a forum!
Fine line between courage and crazy. You’re crushing it.
Man this stuff deserves wayyyy more views. Unreal content man.
You all are tremendous athletes...im a senior skiier & watching you all gets me psyched for the season...Happy holidays, be safe 😊
bro this had me on the edge of my seat lmao. Well done!
Your toilet must be pretty messy then
Beautiful! Everything is beautiful and well put in a very short video! Take care!
Come to Hakkoda, Aomori, Japan someday.
Amazing video as always, epic filming and riding. But the music at 15:08 was a nasty shock... haha.. :)
haha sorry to shock you! Thanks though, happy you were into the rest
what was so bad about it lol? i had to search it on spotify cause i thought it was so good lmaoo
Clicked on your video, subscribed 15'40" after. Sick lines, loved watching this! Stay safe!
karimura01 awesome, thanks!
Great video, Nikolai. Your route down from aiguille du midi looked a teeny bit harder than the main drag!
"Crispy & spicy" - my new favorite adjectives for unskiable terrain!
seeing the snow that makes u feel like ur on clouds makes me so desperate to get out there
Best ski/snow video of the year till now ;D
You guys are absolutely wild. I watched the whole thing and subscribed immediately
I have watched this video like 100 times.Its just amazingggg!!
I'm really glad you guys look like you know what you're doing. This is insane, take good care!
this is freaking scary man. amazing cinematography
the production quality on this is top-notch especially for under 20k
12:39 that legit looks like a castle straight out of Lord of The Rings just behind him... unreal!
Y'all are crazy. Stay safe out there!
Thanks - I have also listened to this song 400 times today.
It tends to do that to you.
Niko dropping... Just makes your adrenaline rush
wow what just i saw, i was hopping this video never end. You got a new subscriber (a good one :)

I'm pretty sure this video will be watched at least ten times more. You're definitely crazy guys.
love your videos! definitely a underrated TH-camr
Yo Nikolai this is LIT, thanks for editing + posting!
Thanks you!
Wow Boys
my heart goes Boom Boom Bang...what a sick crazy session . 🤘🤘💪💪😜 RESPEKT
Few videos allow you to feel that tension of ice on steep with consequences below. Excellent videos.
such slick editing and riding. Great video!
Best title ever
some really good editing i have seen in a while. keep it up man!
Come ski Verbier ! Close to Chamonix. Thumbs up on the quality of the vid and those amazing lines!
Love your vids. Might know from the comments already. Though I got to say the music didn’t do it for me this time around 😂
A few days in: like it now 😂👍
Best episode until now! :D stay safe !
You take editing to the next level. Very entertaining and damn that looks steep even on gopro🙈
Thanks Moritz!
You had me dying with the knots :D Awesome quality as usual and holy shit that part around 12:00 looks so damn steep^^
rapidler1801 haha yeah that part was steeper than average
Edit is just better and better, way to go bro! This is an awesome story!
Thanks man!
