- Skiing around with Andrew Pollard I got introduced to a few of his local friends, including the fast and furious Hank Bates, a Snowbird local who grew up in the Salt Lake valley. I could hardly keep up with him, his roots on the race and freeride teams show in his skiing style.
Best skiing content on the TH-cam
Had no idea when i first discovered these that they were going to be a regular occurence...what a gift! Thanks!
hahah "AHHH what have I started?!" just kidding! yeah seemed like a good idea to try and roll them out once a week or so for as long as I can.
this channel is criminally undersubscribed. i found it a while ago from “one run with pep”. but the format of these one run/lap videos is just perfect. no crappy soundtrack. no stupid jumpcuts. just… skiing. as it should be!
Thanks! ive had a channel for a long time but finally working on growing it! Much apreciate the view and feedback
These videos get me more fired up to ski with my buddies than any other ski movie. Thanks Sage!
Awesome. Thats what its all about. 👊
Hells ya! Hank rides his skis like he stole them. I love his style of skiing fast, hard, and go big. Good luck keeping up with him though. Thanks for introducing us to Hank Sage! I love the diverse styles of skiing your buddies display. Your vids are so much fun to watch.
Ahh yea a speed demon. and solid, thanks for the feedback! much appreciate it.
Damn. Great lap. Hank is obviously a complete monster.
thanks! and YES
Great video, love seeing these continue!
Glad you like them! Thanks!!
These are like skiing with the best rippers around, and I'm actually keeping up! Sage, you're the real deal. The guys must be honored to shred with the Legend. Your enthusiasm is infectious!
haha, I'm pretty honored to ski with the new guard!! Thanks for watching!!
The best ski content on youtubes. Never stop these. Please!
Im running em as long as Ive got footage, may pivot to bike follows in the summer!
That snow looked chopped! A real leg burner for sure.. thanks!
it was pretty cut up but soft, the speed probably helped, haha
Having been raised in SLC and learning to ski at Alta in the early 60's. I have so many wonderful memories of both.
Unless you had Look Navada bindings at the time, the tram sucked; it was after all, the early 70's. Then Soloman click in's came along and changed the game changed.
By the 80's it got to the point on a powder day that it was a race to a lot of powder shots. Then you had to jump in or the person behind you was going. So some of us stsrted 3 pinned in the backcountry, but I digress.
The best memories of the early 80's from Snowbird were times on the tram, during a heavy strom, usually in February. The Ski Patrol would say, "if a certain area isn't skied shortly, we will have to close it due to avalanche danger". Those areas were usually Restaurant Row and the Cirque. And it wasn't usually more than a 1 tram wait, if that.
by far the best ski vids on the tube
much thanks!!
Love the guy at the end "Don't worry about the time, get up the chair!"
hahah yeah quality lifty right there!
These videos are so good! So entertaining!! Keep it up!
thanks!
Hank is the best skier you have taken a lap with. Holds his form, keeps his speed doesn’t waste time/energy hucking crap, he just skies and he skies like a boss……best skier on the mountain…
