In this video we're the first snowboarders on the mountain on a 30 centimeter powder day in Whistler. It's been snowboarding almost non stop this past week making for some of the best powder snowboarding you can get. I'm up snowboarding with my friends Chris and Andreas and between the three of us we're finding some of the best powder and tree runs on the mountain. We're all up with our powder snowboarders as well which help to make it a bit easier to navigate the deep powder snow. Thanks for watching!
Life is so much easier when you take the “must haves” out and just add snow😍😍😍
I cant be more thankful for your channel man. I started snowboarding at the end of last month and by just watching and slowly applying your instructions on beginner slopes I’m finally hitting jumps and grabs surpassing some my friends. I must admit though skateboarding and free time to be able to snowboard was on my side. Still your teachings are so clear and precise that anyone who can observe then imitate a move almost immediately can learn easily
That's some fast progression my guy, rails are also quite easy on a snowboard
@@justasnowball thank you. They are especially when taking them straight on. Turning for a front or back board slide though is harder.
How much I'd love to be there right now, UK lockdown part 3😂... Great video btw
2:42 mark...MOST AMAZING MAGIC TRICK EVER!
Awesome man. Unreal conditions. Sick little drop Chris did towards the end. Praying for more powder days at hood.
Kev's out with a new pow video.. Me: Drops everything (except popcorn)😍😍😍
The Kevin Woods!? ..... Nice! I've started a new trend where we just re name the entire mountain after ourselves! I had to work that morning so I could only session a few laps..... What a bomber day though! So deep!
Hahaha! Why not?
"The Andreas cliffs"
I've got the Chris Wood's now too, it's a take over
@@ChrisEyres where the "Eyre" is clear and crisp and the flora shines deep in crimson locks open at golden hour.
@@chuck__van beautiful
So nice to have such a huge mountain with so many zone to explore.
I wish I saw your beginner videos before snowboarding today. I had a lesson and still fell 20 times after 😂
Day 2 is much easier!
@12:04 Chris looking like a ginger chewbacca, and yes that's a compliment 😂
Haha💯
Living vicariously through your videos man... you’re living the dream! All our resorts are closed, high COVID#s, this years a bust when it comes to snowboarding. Looking forward to the better and brighter days coming ahead for next season. Keep up the good content 👍
Closed? Where do you live, Soviet Russia?
@@dont4get2wipe most european ones are down, and ur banned if you come in from another country
This is edit is so dreamy. The deep snow and gliding through it, the music, and more snow just made this video a dream in my mind. Any chance you'd be doing powder day gear? Thanks and keep up the good work!
Agree completely with your statement.
Sweet! That looked amazing!
Incredible footage!
Man, just got home from my first Whistler trip today. Missed all that good powder this last week but the best snowboarding I've ever experienced in my life! Can't wait to go back
Oh man, so awesome...never got first chair myself and you guys are making want to try it if I get a pow day next time I'm at a mountain!!
These first track vids are so good!!
By far my favorite vid in the last week, and they have all been awesome! Kevin the edits have been amazing! Us Alberta boys be jealous right now bro
Love the vids man
Thanking the most high for creating you! And I’m thanking you for bring me along your epic snowboarding adventures, much love Kevin!
Yoo! Man I love ur vids so much, you have no idea!
i snowboarded for the first time yesterday and now im gonna trade my rental skies in for a snowboard. snowboarding is fun
snowboarding is my favorite thing ever
Welcome to the gang!
Especially when you get confident enough to hit the groomed runs full speed carving. Oh man that is nice. Oh and rails are also fun and quite easy once you get the basics of edge control and turning down. I'd recommend skipping the box rails and start with the normal rails that you don't have to jump on, easiest way to get confident on rails. Just get some speed and stay in a solid position through out. I'd also recommend a back protector, mine has saved my back from breaking atleast 2 times.
I'm a skier, but I gotta say snowboarding always entices me
Yo that looks like so much fun.
Blackcomb blesses us! LA NINA is brewing up another pot of delicious in-your-face pow.
POW is funny in a way cause it's like free money - You can't say no! Nice to run into you all at Jersey Chair today! Keep up the powwow content!
Great video, keep it up! It's our first season ever on the mountain after emigrating and we're so fortunate to be doing it in Whistler. Also, thanks for all the tutorials, it's been really helpful for us noobs.
Re watching some of the old powder day videos and getting hyped for the mountain to open in 3 weeks! 🤘🏻 So stoked!
Homies killing it though amazing videos
Yoo that run was INSANEEEEE!!!
By far my one of my favourite videos! 🤘🤘
Thank you Mike!
That first tree hallway looked insanely fun!
I live for days like this
You should do a video with all your boards!!!
That lineup looks terrifying.
supernice, love it..
Love these videos, man! Keeps me excited for the ski trips to come!
Yaaas let's gooooo
All resorts are closed here in europe, and I can't even put into words how jealous I am
In Slovakia you can still go
yesterday was the last day of the season in bulgaria
Where did andres go he was in like the first 20 seconds but then we’re did he go??
Maybe he went to get a jacket with a zipper lol 😂
He went to a different zone on the mountain to explore
@@laurenluedtke7034 he actually went to a different universe within the snowboardology realm
Freaking Awesome!!!!
Idk why but I find Chris to be so funny lmao this guys just living life
Great stuff! By the way, what settings do you use for selfie shot?
Lucky, wish we would get a storm that big in the Colorado central mountains. Been a bit of a pitiful year so far here. That said I've had a few really good pow laps in places.
Love the videos. I just had my first experience in fresh powder and it was amazing, but I had a good fall and struggled to get out of 3ft of deep powder. What's the best way to get up and out? It took forever to even get to my bindings to unbuckle out. Thanks!
Thanks for all of the videos! I’m in Breck with ZERO snow...Is there any way that you could please compare the Tree Hunter to the Orca??? Thanks!
I guess there are too many trees in Whistler. Nice vid guys, looks awesome.
Epic tree bombing!!!
Could you share the GoPro settings when filming overhead? Awesome video 👌🏼
So jealous of that Whistler pow!
Im jealous, here in Manitoba we seem to not be getting any snow and the weather has been so warm.
i cannot wait till i can go snowboarding again when the borders open again
Mw3 was the shit
STACCATO GLADES
please do a vid shredding through the pow over the creek near Staccato/Glissando. You have to duck a rope but its one of the best on Whistler. (IMO)
I miss WB sooo much, thanks for the vids!
Sick footage - what was this filmed on?
Good video
Which helmet mount are you using? Have a link? Thanks in advance.
Insane lines! :O:O:O
Hey Kev nice butter at 1:45 where can I learn this trick?
It’s dumping in Whistler. WOW
How did your go pro stay on, just a little contact with snow and it turns off until it gets warm enough
WOW!!!!!!!!!
Awesome footage! Well jel,,, Did you lose Andreas?
Do you have any tips on how to ride in deep powder in treees?
🔥🔥🔥
Shit which hour your gondola opens? such a fun to snowboard before work ..
Hey are you rocking two go pro hero 9s or one hero 9 and a go pro max? Thanks!
Damee daniel! Chris is fast u know
Can you do a video on Piccolo, pleaassse!! 🙏
I was there on friday. Fucking amazing. Going up this Friday once again should be the best day ever
Hey Kevin, is the treehunter your favourite powder board? You not really riding the bataleon. HOw does the ultra mind expander compare to the treehunter vs Orca ??? Review Soon?
Pow Bomb Forest... the sequel!
The mystery of the disappearing Andreas!
I noticed u have the gopro max, u know if u use that on your selfie stick but keep it dead straight instead of angling it, you won't see ur stick in the shot. Swap ur 9 to ur helmet cam, turn on 360 mod and use ur max on the stick. It'll make everything look a lot better.
i watched the vid on his channel when he posted it like a few days ago had no idea it was you lol
Ever ridden a Burton 3d board?
what board do you have
Guessing u were on crystal chair that’s where I would be the whole day just send the line under the chair it’s amazing
Seems like all the snow missed Colorado
I tell Andreas all the time that the different perspectives of the videos when all if you guys ride together is just mint. Your video didn't do you justice for how far you were in that Tree Well compared to Chris's. You looked Like R2-D2 buried in the snow in Chris's video @ 5:32 . If your Gopro stick and arm was not exposed you could have easily been passed up. Glad Chris was there to make fun of you LOL as a good buddy would.
What settings do you use on the GoPro?
Latest video goes into my GoPro setup
Scoring!
How do you keep getting so much snow?! Utah resorts have had nothing for powder this season.
Hey dude, I just moved upto ogden, just north of slc. Would you recommend powder mtn or snow basin for a first timer?
@@kevinr1051 I’m pretty new to the scene but I would say go for snow basin. I’m from Logan area and Snowbasin seems to be the go to resort. I would download skiutah it’s an app that shows snowfall at each resort so you could see what it looks this year and then use that info for next year.
What time is it??
Its game time
@@Shred1904 let's gooooo
Aw i can`t go snowboarding this year cuz of the virus😣
yeah I'm with you. It really sucks. Hopefully everything will be back to normal by the end of 2021
bro just go... its a fake pandemic anyways less people died in 2020 world wide than previous years. its 100x less deadly than the flu and thats for people over 65. its 300k x less deadly people our age. go live your life.
www.westernjournal.com/cdc-now-says-94-covid-deaths-underlying-condition/ even though people die from heart disease, diabetes, heart attacks or even dying in a car crash. ect they are still labeled covid deaths.
@@jimmyjangles4286 It is important to note that, as COVID-19 has no direct fatality method, no deaths are caused by the virus itself. This is not the same, however, as saying that COVID-19 did not “trigger the series of events leading to the patient’s death. In many cases patients with comorbidities would not have died at that time,” according to Science Feedback. (from the article you posted)
@@jimmyjangles4286 people like you are the reason for the still ongoing pandemic
Is it okay to start snowboarding without a good board?
looking at your videos, @Blaine cox, I think it's fair to say your board is fine for a casual/moderate slope in one's backyard. But for both you and @It's Peanuts, I think a solid, secure board is the best when going on legitimate slopes for the sake of both mobility and, most importantly, safety.
Yes
Yes
Good doesn't have to mean expensive though. You could buy second hand! That's what I did for my first board.
If you have metal edges that's probably good enough. Don't need new/expensive gear to ride, and often beginners can't tell the difference
sliding thumb of Chris... lol... nice touch.. about 3 min in...Sorry Kev.. I lost focus .. that thumb I missed every word.. lol
recently found this channel and fell in love. Never had the chance or money to snowboard when I was lil due to location and money. Now that I make enough and have a better/steadier source of income. Does anyone have recommendations on starter gear/a budget amount? For example I know not to dump money on the expensive stuff since I wont need it but would it be better to invest like 1k total or 2k total? Thanks for any help/tips :D
1k is fine for now
I would suggest doing weeks of research when you first get started. It may be daunting but it will help you tremendously. What type of board to get? What conditions does each board excel in? Do I want softer bindings or harder ones? There a bunch of variables. You can also find some nice starter gear that'll last you a few seasons and you can upgrade a piece or two every season as per what you need/want... and watch hella youtube videos
Don't buy a 2k setup out of the gate man, seriously not worth it. Imho get a good used board/binding setup, clap it out, and then buy new after a couple seasons when you have a better idea of what you want. I myself didn't move to a 2k setup until more than 10 years on the hill lol. Also if you're including outerwear skip the goretex unless you're like Kevin and boarding on the coast, only time I get wet is when it's raining or I forget to clean off the chairlift
Go to alyeska Alaska
What’s powder? Never seen it. (I Live on the east coast btw)
Ice coast
So jealous, stuck in the UK, don't think we'll be able to get away thid season with all that's going on ☹️
UK is so bad right now :( we can't go anywhere
your friend looks like Tormund from game of thrones...
I wish I could snowboard all the places where I am are closed
Where do you even go after you get to the bottom after going under the peak 2 peak
emerald
@@qwertygerty is that another run or a road
@@endurogod5230 peak 2 peak run finishes at sidewinder, which takes you back to emerald chair. check out ullr maps and fatmap 👍🏻
Just got into snowboarding. Is it worth buying new gear or should I just get used
I would just get used if you can ,except for boots ,I think its better to get new ones so the liner molds to your foot etc. And as far as board sizing I wouldn't get anything to big, smaller is easier to control when you are just getting into it.
If you're sure you want to do snowboarding for the long haul, I would buy new gear - that is on sale. Shop around, check all the websites - even look at what the other hemisphere is offering. Don't buy the most expensive product in the line. Buy what's comfortable and will last you for a few seasons. Beware the second hand snowboard. Many are old, beaten-up and just not right for you. I would buy your first snowboard from a reputable shop, in person, where they will find a board that is the right size in proportion to your height and weight, and the right flex, and also not too hard on your wallet. Get a board that is easy riding, but won't limit you in your progression. I would recommend an all-mountain board.
@@WantonMyth actually just purchased off of level 9 sports have rented a few times so had a decent size range to pick from felt pretty comfortable on all sizes I got the rossignol angus that was on sale and then level 9s entry level durable but cheap g1 bindings and then rodeo boa boots
@@parker_messick Very well done. Enjoy it :)
@@WantonMyth thanks man! Hoping the boots and bindings last at least 2 seasons I know the board was a good buy but not sure about the package bindings 😬
Man but the gopro view from the helmet is just too good of a view.
When are you coming to Minnesota or Wisconsin
Hey kev!!! Your vidéo’s are so good (making of, vews, clip...) Next your are pretty active in your chanel so is a BIG plus!! Even is you don’t have a lot of like you’re very persévérant. SUSCRIBE GOGOGOG
Hey Kevin you should look up Onecutmedia on TH-cam, he skis Whistler Blackcomb and is really cool. If your down for it, he's good at skiing and could show you guys some cool spots on whistler. You guys could collaborate and send some love his way, he deserves it. :)
His channel is great
Only 30 cms? That's what we usually get
How come you guys would rather use classic bindings rather than step ons???
Are Canada 🇨🇦 boarders open yo the USA ???
No, only if you're proceeding direct to Alaska. Our covid restrictions are quite tight right now.
@@th3oryO man. I want to ride some Canadian mountains 🏔
I don’t know. I’m enjoying my icy moguls....no I’m not, tears ;(
east coast slander
Just like every week in Sheregesh, Russia
That line does NOT look very covid safe
Idk i did 120cm in Japan last week. 30 is whatever
