    Nicely done! I summited and skied the Fuhrer finger on June 21st. Kautz looks like such a fun line though, will likely be the goal next year.

    Nice ski.. nice video. snow looked good, The camera POV makes it look 15 - 20 deg slope when in fact, it is not. And thanks for the new tunes.. very David Byrne, Talking Heads-esque.

      It's true, there's always a tradeoff between recreating the experience in the most realistic way possible, vs creating a video that people will actually enjoy watching. I film in 360 mode so I could theoretically use any angle for creating these videos. Adjusting the view downwards makes it look steeper, but quality suffers. Most ski videos that use this technique are borderline unwatchable.

    How heavy was your pack on the descent - estimating

      I have no idea, but we did it as a day trip with lightweight glacier gear. The real question is, what's the minimum amount of stuff I need in order to do this safely?

    Are those vintage skis?

      I'm not sure what counts as "vintage" these days, but I'm on Scott Superguide 88s from 2020 or thereabouts.
