For the genius fearles skiing lot here. This guy's name happens to be Davo Karničar. He used to race in the world cup. He skied most ow big European problems including Eiger. He was the first man to ski down Everest (2000), he skied several ice-falls and winter climbing routes / coluirs that classify as atrocious in my book. He is a living legend of extreme skiing. Anyone who has skied in Julian alps will NEVER compare these conditions to the packed powder in the americas.
He's top notch. Anyone who doesn't appreciate that is an arm chair adventurer and not an experienced extreme skiier. This is a phenomenal route and if he has to side slip in a few places that's part of the game (and not easily at that angle).
First of all tanner hall would never set foot on anything like this. I understand that to ppl who dont know what they are talking about, this looks more easy than it is. So if forgive your ignorance. Impressive 5:10 - 6:00. But why did you edit out the most difficult section at 5:53? I would have wanted to see how he handeled that. Also check my not nearly as gnarly video of steep powder in france.
LOL to all of the guys that said this sucks... First of all, I would like to see you take your own skis and climb a face (not use a ski lift) and then ski a slope that is 60 degrees... This guy is the man!
I would consider that fella crawling down on ski to be a very eminent skier. He really show he has the full control about what he is doing. It was enjoyable to watch.
Mountain is still there, so go there, climb up, shit your pants and then comment this. Davo Karnicar is probably one of the best extreme mountain skier...ever. I've skied 45 degrees in relatively safe zone where fall wouldnt kill me and I tell you even 45deg is quite hard...slope that Davo skied on this video is unimaginable harder!!!
Truly amazing control and POWER. Anyone who downplays this man's skill is clearly ignorant and should never comment on something they are looking to merely belittle. I mean shit, if it's so easy, why don't you do it?? I don't ski a lot, but I have before and I know how much control and dexterity it takes just to weave back and forth, but he is teetering on gravity's edge and never loses control - incredible. Mad props to Karnicar, as he is the greatest ever to hit the slopes. Thanks for posting!
That was hard core. It wasn't quite as exciting as the typical big mountain extreme skiing videos but then again, this guy climbed up that mountain side and didn't have a Red Bull-funded support team in his ear to help him on his descent.
This is excellent example of touring skiing. These guys face the dangers of avalanches, varying snow conditions, more than 70% inclination, and they are extremely careful going down, skiing fast only when its safe to do so. Any mistakes could mean life. This skiing is only for daring, experienced and fit athletes, who can climb thousands of feet and than make it down all in one piece.
@bpressnall I have stopped replying even, because all who criticize don't have a smallest clue of how this looks like. The don't get it that it's 65 deg. inclinaton and that a wrong move means certain death. People talking shit watch too much ski porn to be able to differentiate between ski descents like the one on this video or those who they see taken on ALaska with helicopters, rescue crews ready etc., and - that is not as steep, much "softer" snow, open lines etc.
Video was really choppy on the upper section. Tough skiing no doubt, but it would have been nice to have the video run for a couple of pitches in a row-this is no Warren Miller video!
This guy is obviously one of the world's best ski mountaineers. What he just did in this video is unbelievable & bears no resemblance whatsoever to a dorky ski movie where a guy in big pants straight-lines a clear powder slope after a crew checks it out, maybe does some avy control, then a helicopter lifts him up. That's just a glorified ski resort. Anyone can buy a ticket for Valdez, not for this stuff.
watch the verbier extreme, sometimes, actually alot of the times the snow is incredibly icy and much like this snow. it is also 60 degrees for half of the way, and you see many people ski it far better than this.
Dude, have you tried telemarking? It feels incredible. I board now, but I skiid alpine as well for years. Tried telemark last season for the first time, totally loved it.
only other person i could think of that might ski this would be sage cabretta alosa, he skiied some pretty sick lines in haines ak in tgrs movie this year, looked about as steep as this. T hall actually did some skiing in that movie too... first time hed skied big mountain
yeah when you see videos of people skiing really fast in the backcountry it's usually because it's not too steep and there is soft deep snow and little chance of hitting anything, This guy is on an incredibly steep face of hard icy snowpack surrounded by rocks so give him a break for going carefully.
There's something odd about this video. The man shown climbing up seems to be wearing different clothes from the man skiing down. Did he really change his clothes at the top of that steep slope? Even the skis look to be a different colour. AndEven the climbing helmet changes from white to black.
no offence, but tanner hall has never ever skied such stuff before. he'd shit his pants, believe me. It's a completely different type of skiing. deep powder bowls, fast turns, jumps etc. have nothing to do with survival on this steep, ice hard 60 degree slope with deadly exposure.
its probably too much hard snow and the angle of the slope is ridiculous with that snow, and you can tell he's anticipating every move.. he's obviously focusing more on survival than technique
@anzecokl Well I think the thing is, riding such slopes is just about facing the risk of death...this beside its not particularily technical. Its the same as if you compare high altitude mountaineering to rock climbing or climbing icefalls or so... its incredibly dangerous but i can understand why people dont find it that spectacular
@bpressnall ..and i know he can Ski. But skiing is about having fun and a super slowmotion descent between rocks in an 88 degree angle to the line will never be as fun, or in some cases as difficult, as dashing through powder and jumping powderbanks with some good music in your ears :-)
@jursle English is the number one SECOND spoken language in the world. Although it's true that Americans (and the British) have imposed their language on other cultures, English is also considered to be the most descriptive language, having far more vocabulary words than many other languages, which is extremely important in the scientific fields of study where precision of not just figures but description is critical.
@bpressnall Oh well, I would never in my life do this. Incline always looks so childish on videos but I know this is steep(!). Certain death or lots and lots of broken bones if any mistake. Don't get me wrong, but it isn't really skiing you must admit? It's a descent without error-margin. It takes super sharp skis and super leg muscles + some nice planning and you being observant of where you are. Given the progress speed, not so much of what I and most others would consider "ski skills".
@bpressnall A "big mountain freerider" would not go down this mountain. It's dangerous, it involves no jumping, it's slow & looks booring. You can't call it skiing if you never point your skitips downwards at any time and spend most of the time at a stand still. The guy is good.. at "successfully climbing down a mountainside with skiis on his feet".
I am just wondering it can't be 65 degrees. That is not skiable. I have desceded quite a few steep lines, onea 50 degree couloir, perhaps a bit steeper in spots and I'd say from that that 60 degrees is the limit of what is skiable. Anything greater and you can't even hold an edge. 60 degrees is just insane all in its own.
Try imagining 'Extreme skiing' on this slope as imagine attempting to rip it when you think possible, get 15 ft on a 55 degree slope when the terrain switches from near hard pack to icy, making a slow down effort near impossible and you go over an exposed rock face in a very precarious way. I'm rambling, no one should have to imagine this fantasy right?
English is second. My apologies. I did some research and found several sites supporting that Mandarin is the most spoken. But Spanish is certainly not the 2nd. Only 500 million people actually speak spanish, 1 billion speak english, and 1 billion 151 million speak mandarin. My apologies for not researching my claims before making a statement.
Ummm, so if you can't ski that stuff, WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING UP THERE? I would never have posted this lackluster performance (of course, I wouldn't have been up there either!)
my opinion; The climb up looked sketchy as! you wouldnt want to slip without your gear on. but once i got my board strapped i feel so much safer on a mountain. The snow looks shitty too... but c'mon dont say it was hard to come down... if there was a "little" bit less exposure and some more snow aka "powder day!" you wouldnt have looked so sketchy comin down
I aggree poeple who criticize this are not skier or mountaineer, they only dream about ski front of the TV... They will pee on pans if they go to such place :-)
@anewkindofangel English actually isn't the most spoken language in the world. 1: Mandarin, 2: Spanish, 3: English. However, English is generally considered the easiest to learn and is the most spoken language in rich western countries, who dominate most of the market and are therefore able to impose their own language on virtually every major company. So yes, it's the most commonly used language in business and on the internet, but it's not the most spoken language in the world.
Just to apologize that I was signed in on my computer and someone else posted that comment while I was still signed in. I would never have said anything like that myself. Sorry. I don't even ski!
@silicon605 I am sorry, but getting your as fried on the battle field is exactly the same as getting it fried any place else. The only different thing being, that you are doing it for money under a contract. I do not need a contract to climb and ski nor do I need one to defend my country (should it need defending). And calling Davo a thrill seeker, when he's almost 50 is quite inadequate. If that was all he really was, he'd be dead 30 years ago.
OK.. not much skiing in that skiing. People who do it want to do it, thats OK. I used to do it when I was younger. Lived in Tatras (PL) and done most of the faces. Then paragliding, bikes etc. Its just a question what you want to prove. Just like Himalayan Climbers... its only them that know why they do it. I grew up. Now I find it stupid.
Its definatley "you fall you can die" type of terrain BUT side slipping and hanging on to the traverse aint skiing. He made it up and down but it didnt deserve the film. Just sayin. If it cant be skied then dont slip it. Skiing is turning with your tips in the fall line. I did not see much of that till he hit LA (low angle).
While this slope is steep and is challenging. Sideslipping demonstrates absolutely zero mastery and this can not be counted as an official decent you must actually link turns for it to count. This video does demonstrate how a rookie would approach a slope that is beyond their ability level. Well he finally gets going at the very end on the possibly blue/black run out so credit for that. The title and deception are way over done the music does not mach the skiing. ONE STAR
bilsrylos do you know the feeling of really shitty snow, the feeling Alaskan free riders with helicopters and rescue crew never experience? Do you know the feeling of getting dangerously high amount of speed with every turn which has to be executed perfectly? I am not saying he is fast. To be fast is not the most important thing here. But he has control. He still skies despite his 50+ years. His children are not orphans despite he is first to ski all 7 summits. They are not orphans even though he was preparing to be first person to ski k2 a mountain in which every 4th person dies.
Bad snow, bad line, bad skiing, bad sound track, bad teeth.... Skiing down a concrete car park ramp is extreme... but no point doing that either, cos it's tedious just like this. If the guy can ski, which by he allegedly can, why doesn't he do it, rather than hacking (sorry, side-slipping) down this chuff. There's no merit in it just for the sake of it.
ok there is no fuckign way this guy has skied the 7 highest mountains in all continents like the video description says bec asue some of these mountains have rock and not ice/snow face. i may have misread this though b/c my english isnt that good
DAMN!! it's a shame this guy climbed all this way just to side slip his way down. Pathetic.. the snow looked great to link good turns in the open spots.. let it RIP dude. LOL>.
That hill was extreme, his skiing it was just gay. If you can't make it look good, then you shouldn't be doing it, especially if you're putting your life on the line. Side slipping is never awesome, no matter how steep or dangerous the line is.
wtf:S....what was the point in skiing down that mountain:|...he was going sooooooo slow!:|...he might aswell of walked. I just wasted 9:46 of my life and whatever it took to write this comment. 1 star ;)
"nab skier i skied seens i whas 3 and is sertenly much better than him " Well dude, if you are upthere shitting your pants prob you won't even move, ofc he doesn't just ski down that would be like smashing your face vs the ground but then from 2000+ meter up, and then hoping you don't break your face while smashing into a rock halfway down! This dude is pro, and he's got some guts to do this! When your upthere it doesn't look like 60degrees but like 90! Bolle
If you claim,you are an extraordinary skier, you should learn better skiing first!! Downhill a little bit steeper than an average slope for tourists does not mean it's 'extreme and fearsome'! Descents more extreme and fearsome were done already in the 60ties of last century.
I think he would be really happy if you could give him some advice how to become better skier. He's preparing right now for skiing down from K2 so i guess every advice from experienced skier such as you are, would be really helpful :D
@anewkindofangel - Do you think that most people around the world go to school? and even then get taught english? Im afriad you are misinformed. Try to think about small towns in obscure poor countries - why would they need to learn english? 2 Billion people live in china, at least 1.1bn of those speak mandarin. With a large amount of south american and south asian countries with high populations of hispanic origin, there are a huge amount (up to 0.5Bn) of spanish speaking people.

He was the best of the best. The one and only Davo Karničar. Slovenian pride !! Rest in peace legend !
People who criticise this skiing are only watching beautiful youtube-videos, nicely edited, marketing videos.
They are never in real mountains.
this guys is a straight beast. manly descent. props
He's top notch. Anyone who doesn't appreciate that is an arm chair adventurer and not an experienced extreme skiier. This is a phenomenal route and if he has to side slip in a few places that's part of the game (and not easily at that angle).

Damn, that is definitely fearsome! People need to appreciate this takes a lot of skills and physical fitness as well as mental strength.
What line is this? Total respect for Davo Karničar, google his first ski descent of Everest on youtube.
That was hard core. It wasn't quite as exciting as the typical big mountain extreme skiing videos but then again, this guy climbed up that mountain side and didn't have a Red Bull-funded support team in his ear to help him on his descent.

You mean all 7 summits he skied? I don't know, to be honest I think it's not for sale (yet).

The don't get it that it's 65 deg. inclinaton and that a wrong move means certain death.

please tell Us more about Everest descent............I cant find about it
Video was really choppy on the upper section. Tough skiing no doubt, but it would have been nice to have the video run for a couple of pitches in a row-this is no Warren Miller video!
Okay thanks, I wasn't sure if it was for sale or not, but the trailer put out for his seven summits movie said coming soon, so you never know.
This guy is obviously one of the world's best ski mountaineers. What he just did in this video is unbelievable & bears no resemblance whatsoever to a dorky ski movie where a guy in big pants straight-lines a clear powder slope after a crew checks it out, maybe does some avy control, then a helicopter lifts him up.

Great comment 👍
Where can I buy a video of all his decents?

@xlr8up - actually, i believe mandarin is the #1 universally spoken lanquage. then spanish and then english.
yeah when you see videos of people skiing really fast in the backcountry it's usually because it's not too steep and there is soft deep snow and little chance of hitting anything,
This guy is on an incredibly steep face of hard icy snowpack surrounded by rocks so give him a break for going carefully.
wowowow, at first this didnt look too impressive, then you see how steep it really is he's practically vertical. This needs a headcam.
There's something odd about this video. The man shown climbing up seems to be wearing different clothes from the man skiing down. Did he really change his clothes at the top of that steep slope? Even the skis look to be a different colour. AndEven the climbing helmet changes from white to black.

what do you mean? in speaking or writing or what?
scary stuff. really extreme descent. I would not go.
Name of the guitar song from 2:07 ?
@bjortom The snow conditions in this video are wery diferent to the ones in Alaska, but you wouldent know anithing about that aniway.
its probably too much hard snow and the angle of the slope is ridiculous with that snow, and you can tell he's anticipating every move..
he's obviously focusing more on survival than technique

what a big run! special!!!!!
respect for this guy +1
Davo, ti nisi normalny! :) No, ja misle, sto za tego ismo se stretli. Chvala ti.
You obviously can't differentiate between freeride and extreme skiing. Sorry for wasting 10 minutes on my video though :)
Wow, absolutely hair rising.. And yes, skiing is fun.
@bpressnall
Oh well, I would never in my life do this. Incline always looks so childish on videos but I know this is steep(!). Certain death or lots and lots of broken bones if any mistake.

The best part - the one that REALLY knocks me out - is 7:50 to 7:55...
I know it extremely dangerous, and the snow looks sketchy, but he could have let it rip at least a little bit.
Wow. Awesome. I definitely would have rapped it.
otimo complimenti
put tanner hall on that mountain...then you'll have a video
Andy Burns of person skiing to his death
Ummm, so if you can't ski that stuff, WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING UP THERE? I would never have posted this lackluster performance (of course, I wouldn't have been up there either!)
Well you can ski that stuff, he done it ;)
And performance is really impressive.
my opinion; The climb up looked sketchy as! you wouldnt want to slip without your gear on. but once i got my board strapped i feel so much safer on a mountain. The snow looks shitty too... but c'mon dont say it was hard to come down... if there was a "little" bit less exposure and some more snow aka "powder day!" you wouldnt have looked so sketchy comin down

Its totally mad and skillful but the skiing is not so much skiing as sliding if you know what i mean.
Well I'm sure I could have gotten down much faster.
But probably not alive at least for long.
But is he really skiing or just climbing down the cliffs? It doesn't really look fun.
Škoda ga je... RIP
Just to apologize that I was signed in on my computer and someone else posted that comment while I was still signed in. I would never have said anything like that myself. Sorry. I don't even ski!
Tanner skis faces all the time man...he's a fantastically well rounded skier. I guess you were unaware of this?
I think it should be renamed "Extreme and Fearsome Sideslipping in Europe"...
@silicon605
I am sorry, but getting your as fried on the battle field is exactly the same as getting it fried any place else. The only different thing being, that you are doing it for money under a contract. I do not need a contract to climb and ski nor do I need one to defend my country (should it need defending). And calling Davo a thrill seeker, when he's almost 50 is quite inadequate. If that was all he really was, he'd be dead 30 years ago.
that would be a pretty fun run if there weren't any rocks
OK.. not much skiing in that skiing. People who do it want to do it, thats OK. I used to do it when I was younger. Lived in Tatras (PL) and done most of the faces. Then paragliding, bikes etc. Its just a question what you want to prove. Just like Himalayan Climbers... its only them that know why they do it. I grew up. Now I find it stupid.
On the first stage he needed an ice axe between his teeth and crampons on his helmet...wow that was hairy!
Its definatley "you fall you can die" type of terrain BUT side slipping and hanging on to the traverse aint skiing. He made it up and down but it didnt deserve the film. Just sayin. If it cant be skied then dont slip it. Skiing is turning with your tips in the fall line. I did not see much of that till he hit LA (low angle).
would have been easier (and more fun) to walk down
chriss44 shut up!!!! hes slovenian!!! like me why sould he speak english?
While this slope is steep and is challenging. Sideslipping demonstrates absolutely zero mastery and this can not be counted as an official decent you must actually link turns for it to count. This video does demonstrate how a rookie would approach a slope that is beyond their ability level. Well he finally gets going at the very end on the possibly blue/black run out so credit for that. The title and deception are way over done the music does not mach the skiing. ONE STAR
too bad I didn'[t bring my camera when I skiied down from the top of K2 in the middle of winter.
ok i gotta give him props 4 doin it but he is goin rlly slow and using beginner techniques
bilsrylos do you know the feeling of really shitty snow, the feeling Alaskan free riders with helicopters and rescue crew never experience? Do you know the feeling of getting dangerously high amount of speed with every turn which has to be executed perfectly? I am not saying he is fast. To be fast is not the most important thing here. But he has control. He still skies despite his 50+ years. His children are not orphans despite he is first to ski all 7 summits. They are not orphans even though he was preparing to be first person to ski k2 a mountain in which every 4th person dies.
From 4:09 it looks like someone who is skiing outside of their comfort zone.
took him longer to ski down than to climb up... he made it but im not rly impressed...
YAWN!!!
njam njam
The climb up was more interesting than the crappy line down.
Bad snow, bad line, bad skiing, bad sound track, bad teeth....
Skiing down a concrete car park ramp is extreme... but no point doing that either, cos it's tedious just like this.
If the guy can ski, which by he allegedly can, why doesn't he do it, rather than hacking (sorry, side-slipping) down this chuff. There's no merit in it just for the sake of it.
So Davo Karnicar is not a pro, right? Stop watching people straightlining in alaska, too much Teton Gravity...
Yeah, thanks dman3334. Blah, blah, blah...Cut to the chase 4:15
@mydalies: you have no idea what you're talking about. Oh my... Also: nice charming way of yours - reflects your ignorance
he's probably not the best skier ive seen
this was like a bad spoof
Wow. Pretty exposed place to be.
ok there is no fuckign way this guy has skied the 7 highest mountains in all continents like the video description says bec asue some of these mountains have rock and not ice/snow face. i may have misread this though b/c my english isnt that good
DAMN!! it's a shame this guy climbed all this way just to side slip his way down. Pathetic.. the snow looked great to link good turns in the open spots.. let it RIP dude. LOL>.
Id bomb straight down that ish! hella easy hah j/k...skis don't work well on ice faces, good job though
That hill was extreme, his skiing it was just gay. If you can't make it look good, then you shouldn't be doing it, especially if you're putting your life on the line. Side slipping is never awesome, no matter how steep or dangerous the line is.

That was lame, skip the rocks and the slo-mo traverse and just ski the bottom half
"nab skier i skied seens i whas 3 and is sertenly much better than him " Well dude, if you are upthere shitting your pants prob you won't even move, ofc he doesn't just ski down that would be like smashing your face vs the ground but then from 2000+ meter up, and then hoping you don't break your face while smashing into a rock halfway down!
This dude is pro, and he's got some guts to do this! When your upthere it doesn't look like 60degrees but like 90!
Bolle
:D
If you claim,you are an extraordinary skier, you should learn better skiing first!! Downhill a little bit steeper than an average slope for tourists does not mean it's 'extreme and fearsome'! Descents more extreme and fearsome were done already in the 60ties of last century.
I think he would be really happy if you could give him some advice how to become better skier. He's preparing right now for skiing down from K2 so i guess every advice from experienced skier such as you are, would be really helpful :D
Sure, cause you skiied down from seven summits before him right?!
@anewkindofangel - Do you think that most people around the world go to school? and even then get taught english? Im afriad you are misinformed. Try to think about small towns in obscure poor countries - why would they need to learn english?
2 Billion people live in china, at least 1.1bn of those speak mandarin. With a large amount of south american and south asian countries with high populations of hispanic origin, there are a huge amount (up to 0.5Bn) of spanish speaking people.
i agree man!!!
this was not a decent. it sucked.
