Absolutely wild how Sammy is still in the upper echelon of the skiing game after all this time. His segment in War blew my mind back in my college dorm, and now this. Keep going, my dude.
I have similar memories - I was still in High School when War came out and his part was my favorite. Watched it over and over. Crazy how he’s become one of the best backcountry skiers in the game, especially when you think of the many skiers from that time you never hear about anymore.
Sammy has always been in my top 10 skiers of all time list. This short film has entered my top 10 list as well. Influential. The way he carves and sees these lines in tight trees is astonishing. He has a style that’s so recognizable, and so perfect. If we’re talking top backcountry skiers of all time, he’s up there with JP and CR. Astounding.
@SammyCarlsonSki the shot that starts at 14:15 is basically the best ski cine I've ever seen. Perfect snow, not a sluff on the whole face. Super Blue. Substantial boost. I don't really understand how PERFECT blower sticks to those steeper faces at 15:03. There is a lot of heavyhitting ski cine out there over the years, but this is full on dream land. Kudos indeed.
Unreal both in terms of the filming and the skiing. The way he rips that line and then stomps a perfect 7 is mind blowing. My jaw was pretty much on the floor the entire video
Absolute madness. After all this time Sammy is STILL on top. THANK YOU to production, filmers, and all the work put in. You dropped a masterclass in ski art. From the soundtrack to Sammy’s signature style, no one does it quite like this.
I’ve been watching Sammy since the old Poor Boyz days when I was a teen - love seeing him still out there pushing the boundaries! We’re about the same age, and these days when I ski it’s usually teaching my young kids. Fun to see someone my age still crushing it.
Normally I would never comment on a YT video, or any post really. This is INSANITY It all marries so well together. Love seeing legends like YU in this Keep dis up
Many thanks to Sammy and everyone who participated in the filming. Your absolutely amazing work is a great motivation to recover from injury and continue training hard. Very beautiful, great shots. 💥
Absolument dément! Moi qui avait un souvenir de Sammy le freestyler il ya quelques années. Et bien niveau de dingue, engagement, vitesse, super bien filmé et le montage est magnifique aussi. Bravo! Ca faisait longtemps que j'avais pas vu un edit comme cela!
Sammy’s fkn phenomenal skiing was the star of the show, but production quality was a close second for me! I had to look in the credits to see who did post production sound: props to Trevor Richardson at Sanctus Audio
KAMASE!!
Enjoy Everyone!
I look forward to your edits every year. Your clips in The Land of The Giants were amazing as well.
Killing it as usual. This part looked so fun to film with incredible locations
keep em coming Sammy! Would love to see some more collaboration with Colby who flew with you in AK, right?
You are wild, brother. Unreal
Stoke level 11/10 after watching this.🤘🏼🔥🤘🏼
Absolutely wild how Sammy is still in the upper echelon of the skiing game after all this time. His segment in War blew my mind back in my college dorm, and now this. Keep going, my dude.
Totally agree! I really enjoy the lane of edits he's created.
(Fyi it's echelon)

So fun working on these projects with Sammy. Huge thanks to the whole team who made this come together.
Congrats ! Its spectacular ! ❤

Just bananas the level of skiing. One of, if not, your best edit yet.
I'm a snowboarder, but sammy's video is what I look forward to most every year.
Absolutely awesome, Sammy continues to amaze! "War Totum" by Hu sounds like a song you'd hear in a Sardukar nightclub.

i agree, that drone shot at 14:15 is unreal

This is without a doubt my favorite ski video. Keep it up!

Unbelievable footage!
My eyes were glued to it and i forgot to blink for 20 minutes

Hell no
I feel like Sammy’s middle name should be “pillows”
Another banger of a film
Smashed the rocket boosters button on the 17:14 BOOTER!! Sammy and Candide are the absolute best ever!
Skiing, editing, cinematography 10/10. Drone shots were insane @13:29
Sammy and everyone crushed it. This film is absurd! that British Columbia edit was so good.

Guy is in his own league! 🔥 me uppp!

Great stuff man !! For real, nice smooth touch you have !
What an exquisite piece of art
Quiksilver the best brand fr. Love your stuff. Bought an outfit just bc of sammy lol
Sammy is the only skier other than CT to have developed an actual individual style. Not just a skill to attain by practice, a real, unique style.

Sammy is insane! The drone operator has got some crazy good skills as well. 14:35
Absolument dément! Moi qui avait un souvenir de Sammy le freestyler il ya quelques années. Et bien niveau de dingue, engagement, vitesse, super bien filmé et le montage est magnifique aussi. Bravo!

Might be the best edit I’ve ever seen.. giving Candide a big run for his money. 😮
Great!!!
