Hei Niko! Great video, like always! I can’t wait to see the next episodes.
I thought I would make a short comment to clarify somethings for the viewers commenting on snow safety, etc. Whenever we are talking about “rime” we are a talking about buried surface Hoar. In Norwegian surface hoar is called “overflate rim” though we are speaking English in most everything that is filmed, we do speak a lot Norwegian behind the scenes and sometimes saying rime is just a bad Norenglish translation.
What I really appreciate about your film making Nikolai is how transparent you are in what happens in the mountains. In this case you could have easily cut all the discussion about the snowpack instability and just showed the skiing. This isn’t intended to be an instructional video on how to safely ski steep couloirs or how to avoid being in avalanches, but a documentation of what happens as you try to ski all the cool lines etc.
We did make some risky decisions on this day, but skiing in avalanche terrain always involves risky decision making. This video does not come close to showing all the information we had for making those decisions. This is not a how to video, this is entertainment.
Seek qualified instruction.
P.s. In my opinion the way Eivind and Nikolai skied the couloir just as hazardous if not more so than the avalanche hazard on this day, but damn, are they not good skiers! 😍
The pacing and editing in these videos is FLAWLESS. Just absolute perfect for keeping an audience.
Yes😍
Consistently good content every single time! You should look into setting up some affiliate links in your descriptions - I'm sure tons of people are clicking the links and it'd be an easy way for you to make more money for this cause. Cheers!!
Thanks Cody and Victoria!
And what about a CZcams channel membership, where you pay the creator a monthly sum? Supposedly it's worth a LOT more to the creator than ad revenue. And/or Patreon?
@@Primoz.r yes I second this. I am following a lot of content- cars- food skiing-etc., and this is really the only channel i find motivating enough that i would consider being a patreon. Definitely consider it Nikolai!
Unreal that y'all pointed out your concern of poor bonding between new and old snow, continued up the 50+ degree loaded cooler, had several woomphs and enormous shooting cracks. Lots of us have ignored red flags and have gotten away with things in the mtns. I'm not judging for pushing it but, it is no doubt bad form to be glorrifying this type of behavior because relying on luck isnt sustainable in avy terrain
Nice to see a video where the skiers are shown actually analyzing snow conditions! Nice work guys!
Turned out super good Nikolai! Thanks for another great day in the mountains ❤
Danke danke Eivind
Rad skiing by all for sure! Great job with the Drone shots, you could physically see your relief once Nikolai was beside you and you knew you got the shot haha. Been there!
@@RyandeMilliano Haha, thanks a lot! Absolutely a big relief!
I know nothing about skiing, but damn I love the content. Your combination of epic shots, beautiful nature, being a sympathetic guy and also being mindful of others and the nature. Keep it up :)
Does watching these videos make sitting in my office chair an extreme sport? Sure feels like it from the damn vertigo I get.
I love Nikolai's work so much. You can really tell how much effort he is putting in and I love it. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for all you do Niko!!
So cool to see a group of people who are so talented, yet so humble and appreciative! Love seeing how you do your part to make the world a better place, keep it up! (And amazing video!)
The best ski videos out there, thanks!!
Fantastic. Love the messages you are spreading as well
Avalanche awareness, climate awareness and genuinely good feelings. I love it!
This is real quality content, thanks for the vid! Really enjoy the banter between you guys and the parts with the decision making.
Such great videos. Thank you so much for making these. Loving the cause too. Take it easy
Such a great combo of videography, skiing and caring. Awesome work!
I love this. My family took me skiing when I was young and I have always wanted to return to the sport. Nikolai, your passion for this has reignited my excitement for skiing. I am so thankful to have come across your channel. You are an incredibly inspiring person, i hope to go skiing again soon. Thank you for being you!
Good to see someone skiing this winter. Hopefully I get the chance
these are the people we should all follow so we can truly chance the world to a better place for everyone
Fantastic as always! Thanks!
The quality of the editing and video in general is simply amazing. Definitly one of the very best ski CZcamsrs. Keep going !
It's amazing what you guys doing. Keep it going!
Absolutely love these guys!!!!
Awsome video and series niko love the ideas behind it
Whole channel and this video are on point! I specifically value how you capture the dialogue on snow safety. Powder is never 100% safe, but some instances are better than others and there’s real instruction here for backcountry nubies. Grateful for more future content around how you make real-time decisions on snow safety. Thanks for the inspiration and sending positive vibes from Colorado!
Amazing video and I love the message behind it. Ski on!
Love your videos man!! Greetings from Germany.
great line, deeeep snow, that booting looked brutal.....well done....badass....safe trekking,climbing, riding....Namaste
As always, incredible. Well produced, well shot, very well skied by all. Very inspiring Nikolai!
doing a great job Niko, big fan!
Awesome video as usual, thanks!
Awesome Video and i want to thank you because you showed me the True form of skiing and how to do it without destroing our planet 👍
Lovin this edit Niko. Relationships are so important in good decision making and although I know you take risks, they always seem like calculated risks and the rewards look huge. Finn's comments on this is also responsible and informative. I don't have the skills to ski those lines or if I did I would just pick my way down slowly which is probably way more risky. Speed is your friend. I learn such a lot from your videos and the whole eco and poverty angles show you can live a fun life in and ethical. I look forward to the next one.
Fantastic!
Hi Nikolai. I extremely enojoy your content! Besides the stunning shots and edits of your amazing tours it's so nice to always learn new stuff about touring and snow conditions in each video. Hope I can start touring too this season, so I can use all this information ;)
On top of that I love seeing a sportsman like you spreading such an important and good message concerning our environmental and social problems!! More people need to see this! Cheers from Switzerland🇨🇭✌🏻
I was thinking about how I would ski the top. I'm no free ride monster like you guys.... just an old ski mountaineer. Then Finn takes it like a skimo dude, just how I envisioned. Cool to see different approaches. Awesome footie, as always.
FIRST second, and it is already Amazing
Hats off to you for getting such a rad line. Point of contention, rime and buried surface hoar are different crystals formed by different meteorological processes and in my experience have very different stability outcomes for snowpacks. I can't recall rime ice being a persistent weak layer and the shooting cracks are certainly more akin to a snowpack suffering from a persistent weak layer. Semantics aside, you obviously managed the snowpack correctly for the specific avalanche problem.
My favourite skier and film maker in the game by far! Incredible. You inspire me
This is very kind. Thanks!
Nice man, great video!
This quality is outstanding niko!
I always enjoy watching your great videos. Keep it up :^)
Another banger! Gonna watch this a couple more times at least and get some extra view $$$$ for the good cause ❤️ I know you answered it in other comments but I love hearing/seeing the insight into decision making with regards to terrain and snow and avy conditions and would love to see more detail in future videos! It's a great trend in ski media, long may it continue!
haha thanks Joel! Happy you're that into them
Great video Niko! Love the skiing and this hole idea! Can't wait for the next episode :)
Thanks! 😃
Yet another incredible video Nikolai. As someone who loves skiing, but lives in the Netherlands, I unfortunately don't get to go outdoors much - especially in these weird times. But I live vicariously through your videos. Makes me realize how much I love skiing, touring and steep skiing
Happy to hear that!
Thank you so much for sharing that with all of us !! amazingg edit
Thanks for watching :-)
Getting better... and better..
Lo máximo 🏔🏂🏔 siempre al EXTREMO - Saludos desde PERÚ 🏔🙌 ✔
another absolute BANGER from the kid, love these vids. So much fun to watch, and such epic lines!! You guys look so comfortable being sooo sendy and I am nervous just sitting at my computer watching 😆 keep up the great work! :)))
Thanks Austin😊
Awesome video as always ! Keep it up :)
Just came over this videos today. Damn great videos great skiing.
Really enjoy seeing this and these amazing views.
Keep safe guys 😀❄🎶
Nikolai ekstremt fine videoer, den type skikjøring er bare helt beroliggene å se på. Du har inspirete meg og kompisen min da vi så endless winter. Nå har vi kjøpt kamera utstyr og skal filme våre eventyr. Blir nok ikke like god kvalitet men ingen slår deg! En dag så kommer vi opp til nord så skal vi kjøre sammen :) Ha en fin dag videre Nikolai !
Such an inspiration
Amazing content and approach..!
Niko, been watching you for some time now and love every video you’ve ever produced. I recently got into touring and took an AIARE course here in the states last year. You ski some gnar and encounter a lot of different conditions/terrain. It would be awesome if every so often you took the footage of a day out where you encountered dangerous avy terrain and explained to viewers what you saw, why it was concerning (or not so), and explained your next move in depth. The banter is always playful but you are an experienced outdoorsman. We could learn a lot from your thought process and it could keep us safe when we go out on our own. Keep up the stoke!
Thanks! Honestly I wouldn't really recommend taking any lessons on snow safety from me though. What we do is extremely risky, and yeah. Just don't hehe. If I'd encountered snow like that with my family or any other crew I would've turned around immediately.
In my office, torturing myself with lovely skiing videos.. Will be 2 winters in a row without any skiing :(
Love your videos - am binging them :)
Wohey! Happy you're getting a little bit of a ski fix at least :)
subscribing to you guys was the best choice I've made this month
Epic video, epic cause - keep sending it
Great crew, fun banter. Epic line. Sending it. Really enjoy your films and particularly like how much can be learnt from your mountain awareness. And brilliant supporting the charity.
Thanks Simon. I don't really recommend doing what I do snow wise, it is 100% super risky even if we try to be cautious, but happy you enjoy the films!
Very nice quality ! Amazing footage ! Humble athlete ! Microphone on the jacket ! "Give before to receive" mentality ! What esle do you need ? Thank you Nikolai !
Snyggt!
Such a great video and so excited to see what else this series has to offer. Would love to see a video on your other gear ( ice axes, camera gear, etc) and accessories video maybe aha. Great work dude
Thansk! Will get on the gear vids once the season winds down
Rått Nikko! Skummelt som faen å se på men heilt konge. Bli me på någen bølge adventures i sommer 🤘
Takk Birk😃 keen på surf!
Awesome filmmaking as always!!
top !!!! thank you for the sharing
Hell yeah dude crushing it! Really appreciate how you tie in environmental and social considerations. Feel like those two aspects are vastly overlooked in ski media.
Thanks!
High grade movie quality, one of a kind chanel!
Thanks Fabian!
*You don't have to go the the top. How do you feel?* Words to live by! I just love your professionnalism and how you really got into the decision making on this one. Great job, as always.
best content on youtube
That perspective at 8:32 really messed up my head - it looked like a scene from inception with the mountains folding over one another
Mega fedt!!
Cool editing! :)
Generally love the content. Looks like an amazing place to ski. Old now but maybe I'll get over there sometime. Want to point out that doing a snow profile at the bottom of a slope doesn't really give much useful information for what is happening at the top. Nice to see that at least you are making an effort.
Honestly, I like this more than Warren Miller. Such great content and storytelling
Warren Miller hasn’t been the same for a few years.
So sick! How do you get such good audio on the way up?
Awesome Video! could you do a vid about what equipment you use for filming? what drone? What you use for audio? GoPros? DSLRs? lenses? would be super cool to see! keep it up can't wait to see more
Hey would you mind further elaborating why you kept going after the crack? I think I would have turned back but a Video can never replacing being there, so some insight into the decision process would be much appreciated. Great Video though I love your skiing!
Dammmmmmm thats a cool line
All I want for Christmas is for Nikolai to go viral!!!!!
Hey Nikolai,
I love, love, love the music you put in your videos (also love your videos!) and added so many to my heavy rotation list; but sometimes it is a bit hard to find out which songs you use :)
Would you mind posting them here - eg the song for Eivind's run?
Thank you, really appreciate it!
Very nice
Great video as always. You editing is top notch. A bit of minor criticism: I think it would have been cool to see more first person footage of your run. Drone shots are cool, but imo they're suited more for after the 1st footage has been shown.
Other than that I love it!
Bro I seriously hope I can start touring in college this is so sick
I hope you can too. It's fun
@@Nikolai_Schirmer keep on pumping out the great content. You are my inspiration after all 😀
This could have been called 'Exposing yourself to hoar'. 100x views.
Sjukehus!!!
Any reason why you keep the skins on your skis while booting up? Wouldn't it be easier and possibly safer to pack them away lower down? Another great video too!!
How long did it take you to get from where you are traversing to actually ascending the peak? That's some serious dedication to find a line.
Sun matskut!🙏 parhait
First off, these are easily my favorite ski edits on youtube. Second, I can't find my favorite video of yours. There's a catchy song at the intro (buh duh duh, buh duh duh, buh duuuhh duh) with you and friends in a gondola, followed by sick skiing. Then the song comes back in at the end.. I just want to watch it again, where is it?!
Thanks Blake! You’re looking for this one: czcams.com/video/jYyFzIypk0A/video.html
@@Nikolai_Schirmer Dude yes, thank you. What a great xmas gift. Stoked for another season of dope edits, you inspire me to send it
Nice vid
I always wonder how you get into this kind of skiing. Where do you start to practice those insanly difficult lines and how do you know when you´re ready to get into the real stuff? Great content, keep it up!!
You just start with smaller ones :)
Thanks!
Hey guys, love the aerial shots! Which drone are you using?
Thanks! The Mavic 2 pro
Great video guys !
I'm wondering, do you have 2 remote control for the drone or do you have 2 drones ?
And actually which drone do you use ?
Can't wait to see the other episodes !
I was wondering about the same, I guess they must have two different drones? Looks like DJI Mavic (Air)?
Great video! What do you use to record the sound and as a microphone
Yo Nikolai ! Love you’re videos!! I wanted to ask if you have some tips for the drone to film big lines so the mountain stays attractive ❄️??
Thanks!
Just think of it as regular photography. Find a nice composition and have the rider move through it, as opposed to just following the rider. Also use all the axis on the drone to make the mountain pop. Have foreground elements!
thanks for clarifying which hoar you guys were "looking at" on the way up! not to be nit picky but I'm curious as to why your partners post up at the foot of the couloir in anticipation of the Nikolai machine, wouldn't the day turn upside down if something slid? thanks as always
Hey guys! What is the name of that font you used? Looks really clean. Cheers
im a true believer in the power of 65mm
Incredible video! I wonder what made you guys „feel okay“ and carry on despite the avalanche warning signs?
Finn suspected that it was just an isolated area where the surface hoar hadn't been swept away by the wind, so that the snow above and below us wasn't unstable, just that little pocket. He was right, but of course we could've had worse luck than we did.
Seems to me that Finn brings a great level of avi awareness and judgement to your team. You should invite him back!
@@Nikolai_Schirmer Okay, I see. Well take care out there, that steep couloir looked quite serious on video :)
