    This genuinely looks like a red bull production, keep it up

    The subscriber/view count and the production value doesn't check out. Hella underrated.

    Merrick literally almost falls to her death
    Nikolai: woho Merrick, very nice!

    These videos are absolute professional. You deserve so much more attention, both as a skier and as a film maker

    Seriously great work, Nikolai. I met Merrick many years ago while guiding Denali. We've since reconnected through IG and in Anchorage. Such fun watching you guys tromp around in that amazing play ground. Doesn't feel like another bro-fest like so many other films. More like a day out with friends. That's how I like it.

    1:30 Wow merrick is the youngest person to ever climb Denali at TWELVE?! I’m 23 and would die if I tried man that picture of her is the definition of badass.

    @Cdosvirusexe Před 3 lety +11

    Mate I just found your channel the fact you don’t have millions of subscribers blew my mind. This is genuinely cinematic stuff, honestly some of the highest production value I’ve seen on CZcams. Keep on the grind and I’m sure you’ll get what you deserve 💪

    @WattWireNet Před 3 lety +3

    Niko's calm, cheery, and confident demeanor really helped out everyone. I'm sure it was contagious...having a good mindset is so important when doing something like this. Really enjoyed this nice production.

  • @jeepmor
    @jeepmor Před 3 lety +2

    The drone footage really brings it all together in regards to the scale. Then you you drop in and people can see how bloddy steep it is.

  • @aseon3

  • @gary999t
    @gary999t Před 3 lety +1

    Excellent video, the view count should be in the millions. Haha, literally every part of this video is stuff most people will never do, and comments like ,"it's just a bit choky at first, and then it opens up." are pure gold. That's what mortals say at the start of a black run, not after an insane rope descent, and then about to ski a steep couloir.

    The production value of your stuff is amazing. Bra jobbat! I really like that you don't just focus on the downhill skiing, like a lot of commercial ski movies, but also show the less glamorous bits, like the sketchy rappel on the too-short rope! Keep up the good work!

    GRAN REPORTAJE.

  • @malachev
    @malachev Před 3 lety +6

    This video was pretty scary. There were a number of bad decisions that were made with consequences that could have resulted in death. The ladies were skiing conditions that were really pushing their limits, questionable when the consequences of falling are so high. Merrick's ski release, only the heel released, did she forget to switch the toe into ski mode? The mountains will still be there tomorrow. Old mountaineers are the ones that listen to the voice inside that says "today is not the day".

    • @nickclifford9390
