11:50 "yeah this looks doable..."
Me an intellectual: "about 7% of that is doable"
about 1%
*somewhere in mid alps: "Do you remember the knot?" ffs
13:32 "I always have to CZcams it when I'm up here" 😂
"Uhh rocks"
Just do a European Death Knot. Instead of that double fishermen’s stuff.
@@skierpage Don't get me wrong I love the video and Nikolai but I do feel that putting that in the video kind of promotes recklessness in the backcountry. There are more and more channels trying to teach people to not go into the BC unprepared and this is kind of the exact opposite of that.
the knot? uwu
(I'm a degenerate)
@@IIllIllllIIlllIlllll Thanks! I get what you're saying, but these videos are in no way scripted, or intending to be anything but entertaining. I cut together the most exciting bits of what happens out there, in a truthful manner. Pretending that we have it all figured out at all times would just be wrong.
When the things even look that steep in the video, you know that you would shit your pants in real life.
Nikolai Schirmer surely is one of the most talented skiers out there.
Almost shit my pants just watching this.
I've been there before and can confirm: in real life this shit is STEEP.
The quality of these vids and their skiing is incredible
7:39
"I feel there's a zero risk o dying a fair change of getting hurt" awesome, you're a legend
"I can live with that."
2 minutes later narrowly escapes an avalanche🤣 love it
Don't be fooled by these idiots. They post their success only. And in two weeks or months they will have a huge accident. Don't fuck with the mountains. They always get you in the end.
The way she dodged the falling ice was amazing. That was life or death and one of the best reactions you could ever hope for.
1:20 - What the... now thats a close call!
Emma with the ninja moves!
How has nobody else been commenting about this?!? She was like 1 second away from being nailed in the head with a chunk of ice
@@Nikolai_Schirmer what route was this? looks pretty!
Good head movement!
the cinematography is just great, storytelling on point, crazy rides. love it guys!!!
The quality of the videos is great I can see so much effort
The ‘forgot boots’ sequence is like a horrible reoccurring nightmare I’ve had for the last 20 years! Amazing footage you guys are nuts!!
Yes, I live in Salt Lake, and the traffic to the resorts is awful on powder days, so I live in constant fear of forgetting some gear.
Phin 42 absolutely.. the shameful drive back down Little Cottonwood Canyon.. not ideal 😂
@@CBonesey Never had it happen to me, but I have had ski bindings malfunction twice, ending the day on the first run, which is also not ideal
Phin 42 That is also not fun! I had the same thing happen to me!!
@@phin422 You don't have ski shops at the station or in the town that could fix stuff or replace it in like 15 minutes?
Imagine being on a ski lift with them and not knowing you're in the presence of such savages
oneindachamberlin - Chamonix everyone is full of people like that, so it’d be nothing remarkable.
@@Benzknees Yeah, but in Chamonix not everyone hikes into such incredible drops. On second thought, nearly No One mountaineers into such epic drops
@@kevinanderson829 - It’s the only ski resort I’ve ever been to where you see more people with climbing harnesses, carabiners, ropes, ice axes, etc. than without!
i skied Chamonix about five or ten years ago. We got tons of new snow but they had us roped off like cattle. Everywhere I went, it was groomed trail skiing only. Frustrating to say the least.
Ducking ropes there is intimidating. These guys are unbelievable!
Because they yupps
This film is Oscar material. Sweeping vistas. Raw humanity. Action. Suspense. Salvos of euphoric transcendence delicately balanced by glimpses of absolute terror. A masterpiece.
" i just found out the snow below is not good either" aka we might die. Niko Laughs...
The cinematography of this project conveying the story is pure profession
Wow this his was gold! thx Nikolai, you’re such a chilled and talented dude :)
13:25 "You really gotta trust your edges here" - cut to downclimbing a nearly vertical wall with ice axe and crampons
Two years later and this short still has the best music and great editing. Thanks for the fun Niko!
I cant find the words to describe the quality of this content, the production quality is amazing, the skill level is amazing, the personalities are amazing. Keep it up!
That dodge at 1:18 was absolutely phenomenal. If she reacted 1 second later, she would've been in a world of pain.
That is sick. I love your editing style, really good rhythm. We always miss having more skiing part, which I think is a good sign!
I cannot believe at how quality this video is thank you guys so much for sharing best of luck with all your future expeditions!
Man. Your videos are so awesome. I can watch them every morning just to get the kick one can feel when up in the mountains!!!!! Thank you. You guys rock!
Happy to hear that!
Wow. Wow! Solid skiing on amazing terrain. Excellent footage--good balance of action and "personable" moments. Glad you read the snow right: some of those passages looked necky avalanche-wise. Admire your stamina. Oh, to be young again...
We went there in summer and looked at the top. And than again the area below. Love watching you guys ski. I'm just an average skiier.
I have never watched a 15 minutes Vlog with so many emotions. Happiness, Fear, Excitement, MORE FEAR... Crazy man. I am a freerider myself but this shit is on another level!
Not click-baity enough
Another epic one! Damn
The ending sequence is this is straight fire!!
this is by far the best 15'40" i've burned at my work-desk in a long time. thank you. Q: what tech binding are you on in this video?
RunSilentRunDeep1 hey thanks for watching. I’m on the G3 zed12
the editing in this video is some of the best i’ve seen from you... keep up the good work!
Thanks!
"Zero risk of dying; fair chance of getting hurt" - words to live by :D
That song hooked me from the start. I've skied my whole life in Vermont (east coast of the US), so skiing rocks and ice is second nature, but the mountains here are small with little exposure. It's my dream to get this rowdy one day. The cinematography on this channel is of epic quality and the commentary is on point. Easiest it has ever been to hit that Subscribe button. You guys have given me inspiration to start making videos again for my own crappy little adventure channel.
Woho, thanks! Stoked you're into it!
Another good one, Nikolai. Interesting to see the Cosmique so variable and then you guys get complete blower in the sun on the second lap. High quality bonus. But even with the shitty snow at times, skiing to the valley is pretty sweet. BTW, your exit onto the Bossons was tres sketch balls! I was holding my breath.
It was just too cold for that snow to stick on anything slightly steep. Thanks!
Such a great video. The cinematic's are incredible.
Can I come ski with you guys !?! What an adventure ! Love it ! Great video making and editing 👏🙌
The best skiing in chamonix video in youtube man, awesome your drone shots!
Great videos! Its awesome to get the adventure as well as the skiing. Personaly I would like the clips from the gopro to be a litlle longer, and also that that you show the lines both from the drone-shot and the gopro. Its cool to see when you can see how it looks from above as well as in the gopro. I feel like i sometimes a part of the rund is cut out. I would love to see full runs or at least larger segments. Only an opinion, and this is really going in detail cause I really enjoy watching now as well.
Beautiful! Everything is beautiful and well put in a very short video! Take care!
Come to Hakkoda, Aomori, Japan someday.
Great video, Nikolai. Your route down from aiguille du midi looked a teeny bit harder than the main drag!
seeing the snow that makes u feel like ur on clouds makes me so desperate to get out there
Unreal. Love the line "zero chance of dying, but a good chance of getting hurt....I can live with that".
RA Kennedy I mean, if there was a chance to die... you wouldn’t...
Seriously deserve way more subscribers with the way these videos are made, excellent stuff!!
Thanks!
Every episode should be diffused in cinemas 🤯
This season you're spoiling us with incredable contet Niko! Much prefer this years way of doing videos to last, with that said I still loved what you did last year. Keep it up!
Thank you! Will try
You guys are absolutely wild. I watched the whole thing and subscribed immediately
Bro you are a Incredible AMAZING Skiier!!! This video is so amazing. Thank you friend. So talented all of u.
Wow, thank you
Man this stuff deserves wayyyy more views. Unreal content man.

I have watched this video like 100 times.Its just amazingggg!!
love your videos! definitely a underrated CZcamsr
this is freaking scary man. amazing cinematography
真正的勇士们，要完成这些高难度的挑战，令人钦佩的勇气和娴熟的技术，二者缺一不可，你们都做到了。谢谢你们，我们才能以第一视角看到这么美丽的风景，如身临其境。
Great edit and sick lines! keep on keeping on!
Whew. For a second there I'd thought I'd get to see a full run but thankfully this is edited by the guy that did the Bourne fight scenes.
how do you only have 22k subscribers this quality is amazing!!!!!!
Wow, amazing content with incredible filming, you've gotten yourself a new subscriber!
Joel Lundqvist thanks!
My favorite video right now everything is on point even the music 😍✨🗻
Hey happy you're into it haha, the music is getting a bit of hate
No way I was feelin that music the whole way through! I'm a tiny bit afraid of heights, when I say a tiny bit I mean I'll watch you do this so I don't have to, but that music kept me sane watching you guys!
such slick editing and riding. Great video!
Really enjoyed this video - thank you. I felt that I was there with you (even though I'm strictly an en piste skier with dodgy knees).
Happy you did!
Fine line between courage and crazy. You’re crushing it.
This 15 minute video felt like a 1hr documentary and I still want more
Well, you've got a new subscriber. How does this not have millions of views? The quality is insane. The riding is insane. YT's suggestion algorithm finally did me right.
Dean Likes Knives thanks for clicking the button! Glad the machine learning did it’s work right
Just exceptional the videos and the adventures. BRAVO
This is officially my all time favorite youtube video.
"Crispy & spicy" - my new favorite adjectives for unskiable terrain!
2:48 I can _hear_ what conditions there are lol, not good, if the skis are light it makes more sense how they're a hard fit.
Also *amazing* shots, especially 2:32!
I'm so glad I subbed, everything about this channel screams pure skiing joy, the kind I grew up with and try to revisit every now and then :D
Thanks for stopping by!
@@Nikolai_Schirmer
Hello, great video.
Which's the boot to use your friend in split board?
I don't know why, but this video is my favourite one on yt like I have watched it like 5 times in the past 2 days. You all are just a vibe
That's facts

Absolute insane video, such an underrated channel
That was spicy! Great skiing and edit!

I'm really glad you guys look like you know what you're doing. This is insane, take good care!
Clicked on your video, subscribed 15'40" after. Sick lines, loved watching this! Stay safe!
karimura01 awesome, thanks!
First time seeing this video, didn't even blink my eyes. Feels like a billion dollar budget Hollywood stunt...you guys are legends !!!
You look very professional in what you doing. Keep it up!
Damn, I just found this channel and that mountain shredding is a dream to me. Don’t have anyone to go that far into back country or to take a trip with
Try a forum!
So dope. Keep it coming!
Man you guys are insane. I enjoyed every second of this video. subscribed!
Thanks man!
this is so insane! I skiied in Chamonix main bit but this is like 100 levels ahead! in some of these there is 100% death chance lol
Hey Nikolai. Great content! Can you tell me what camera and lenses you're using? Keep up the good work!!!
bro this had me on the edge of my seat lmao. Well done!
Your toilet must be pretty messy then
Litterally Amazing theres no way you have only 70k. Thank you for these videos.
You had me dying with the knots :D Awesome quality as usual and holy shit that part around 12:00 looks so damn steep^^
rapidler1801 haha yeah that part was steeper than average
Best ski/snow video of the year till now ;D
You are the single best ski youtuber I have ever come across
Well that's quite the honor. Thanks!
Wow Boys
my heart goes Boom Boom Bang...what a sick crazy session . 🤘🤘💪💪😜 RESPEKT
Y'all are crazy. Stay safe out there!
Such insane quality definitely my ski idol.
Thanks! Pretty crazy to be someone's idol haha. Hope you're having a good winter!
Nikolai Schirmer you are for sure! My winter was great discovered great routes with my friend and only went skiing at places where barely anyone has gone before!!
Wow! Being up there is already crazy but flying the drone from there...🤯
You take editing to the next level. Very entertaining and damn that looks steep even on gopro🙈
Thanks Moritz!
Awesome video and loved the song choice, first time hearing it!!
BOOM!!!! OMG! BEST EVER! thank you from Colorado! head bowed....
Come ski Verbier ! Close to Chamonix. Thumbs up on the quality of the vid and those amazing lines!
Love your vids. Might know from the comments already. Though I got to say the music didn’t do it for me this time around 😂
A few days in: like it now 😂👍
Loved it guys!......
Few videos allow you to feel that tension of ice on steep with consequences below. Excellent videos.
Wow was I surprised by the quality of this video. One of the best ones I have seen in a long time. I would have wished to have more of the music threw the rides, I can see why you stop it at some points to make us here the "struggle", but I feel like it makes the really tense moments less exciting to watch when half of the video is weird voices and the wind blowing. This is just being very nit-picky, but wow this shit was awesome!!!
