These are the type of people who after skiing and a couple beers in the bar will be proclaiming a little too loud "we did chute 3 and it was awesome", you can't claim you did it when you side slip most of it.
looks very tricky. In those conditions it is a great time to let it go as a fall will be OK. Also, learn a jump turn. It will make those tight chutes skiable and it gives you a split second, while in the air, to "plan" your next move.
i skiied chute 2 on wednesday and the snow wasn't this good. had been searching for a clip that someone may have taken with footage as nice as this vid. i only found one where a guy talks to someone dropping in, turns to the left and gives solid advice to drop in from the ledge on the left and head to the right. as he does that, the first dude wipes out and skids to the bottom 🤣 then he says "Yesss!... I hope he's ok" haha... i think you captured the extreme nature of the chutes really well. nicely done! Your comment about survival skiing is spot on. i was calling it more billygoating than skiing until you drop in and ski it out. beautiful back there.
All skiers have had a “survival “ section… better to not get injured and learn from it. All the pro skiers that crack on this are so very amazing they can ski anything, any conditions, any day. Us mortals can only try to get better.
I skiied this and thought I was going to die fun times haha. I love the Christmas tree bowl though if you go to the right of the sign there's a super fun wood run.
Thanks for posting that. That felt very realistic. I know that feeling when you’re right on the edge. I definitely felt the adrenaline. You don’t need to see somebody flying off a cliff to get that. I enjoyed this more than watching some pro who did stuff like this all the time. Thanks.
I love all the comments that bash side slipping 😂 however, I would be willing to bet that none of those people could actually ski that run anyway. Most that even venture there do the best that they can. It is survival, but we all want to do some turns. First thing I thought was thanks for pushing all the snow down the hill, but then I realized how steep and narrow it is. Been there, done that. Nice job all four of you for trying.😎
I grew up racing at Taos, skied about 5 days a week sometimes, always at least 3. And, in those days, I was skiing ‘chutes’ … narrow and steeper than this one… on 204 cm skis. My other skis were 212 and 220, for giant slalom and downhill. 204’s were for slalom.
I'm surprised all the hardos in the comments have time to watch this with all their other backcountry shenanigans. Y'all are tearing it up, sounds very exhilarating. Point those tips down baby
Don't listen to the comments that tell you you're not good at the Chutes. I did this when I was 13, a good skier, and I even struggled with this. It's a lot steeper in person and really hurts the knees. Going fast on this is not an option.
I was there last week and I am not sure if I skied chute 2 or 3. The one I did was really narrow and had trees to either side. Probably about only 8 feet across from one side to the other so I’m thinking it was two but does anyone know if that is 2 or 3?
if you really want the snow and the turns, you have to go outside the boundary/under the ropes. In some places in the US you are not allowed to but in Canada you sign a waiver before going up, saying that the resort takes no responsibility for your safety, including your potential death (true)..and you can go anywhere you want..
❤😂😂 A-ha boys! If you had learned to ski on 2 meters long skis....nothing would ever surprise you!! But we are old people but still practising and not so bad!!!
These guys on hill, 1 pm: “this is crazy, unskiable, survival mode only..” Same guys at bar in lodge 4 pm (loudly): “we totally crushed the chutes today bro”.
"the chutes" at steamboat are just gullies in the trees, about 500 of bumps and then you pole out for 10 minutes. nothing to survive here. or anywhere in routt county for that matter.
That's bullsht. This is how you progress, by reaching past your comfort zone. Maybe they use this as the impetus to get in better skiing shape and take a lesson or two. Nobody rips this kind of thing the first time. It is an activity that we all share together at all levels of ability.
The snow was really good (lol)! That is OK, we have all been there and that is part of learning to ski. Wait until you get on something really steep and narrow!
Survival skiing... only because the participants have not bothered to learn to a sufficient level of technical ability before going off piste and into tight areas that are marginally steep..... get a few full ski seasons of lessons and coaching and this is not going to be survival.
I don't know what makes me laugh louder... you calling this "survival skiing" or the fact that your girlfriend or the girl you are skiing with, is waiting down at the bottom taking pictures. However, well done skiing above your comfort and hopefully extending your confidence and ability. Well done.
Lovely scenery, and I guess there is a certain sort of, um, plucky go-for-it attitude here, but honestly, this terrain is WAY beyond your skiing ability. It's dangerous to you, and in the meantime you're just ruining the terrain for skiers who have the ability to actually ski this.
“I can’t even ski this, really” “I know thats the first turn I Got”. Jerry’s like you ruin the mountain. If you have to slide down like a heelside stuck snowboarder, you need to learn to proficiently ski easier pitches before being “extreme”. Smh!
@@holymeto9981Wrong, that was horrible, and I'd bet when they tell the story about "skiing chute 3" it will sound a lot different than it looked, side slipping all the snow off isn't skiing.
@@holymeto9981 Never said it was the east coast, the thumbnail even said it was Colorado, is that even considered west cost? But where it was isn't even relevant they didn't really "ski" it and screwed it up by scraping a lot of the soft snow off the run.
ok whatever you say but thats barely a hill, look at the angle of their body to the hill and all they did was push the good snow off, go back to the blue runs and ski, making real turns @@holymeto9981
@@holymeto9981 whats the shame. People who ski that stuff want the people who slide down pushing the snow off to stay away, go ski the regular runs if you dont know how to actually ski a run like that, its a fairly simple concept.
Nice job scraping everything off. Your skiing level ability You should not be there. I used to hate this. Go there on a big powder day. Other than that stay out of that area.
Yells "Dropping" then side slips the next 3 bumps......LOL
Bro single handedly nust wrecked that whole run for everyone else for the rest of the day 😂☠️😂☠️😂
Looks like amazing snow. Great day to start practicing jump turns
Always a good idea to leave some SNOW on the trail!!!
Welcome to the west, where snow is endless. This isn't the east coast…
These are the type of people who after skiing and a couple beers in the bar will be proclaiming a little too loud "we did chute 3 and it was awesome", you can't claim you did it when you side slip most of it.
Don't people get tired, after a hard day of skiing?
Good video. That’s how we learn. I remember that, every turn gives you the more confidence, and always slow down when you start a new track.
Take a lesson from a PSIA Pro. It would make these runs more fun.

Wearing a Go-Pro on your helmet is like wearing white socks and an Armani suit.

I did this with my ski school when I was 13 or so! This run is no joke! XD

Wow really? I would much rather watch someone actually ski the thing instead of just side slip it.
We need more people like you in this cruel world. God bless you. Best of wishes to you and your family.

Most of us cannot ski it well, BUT, we also know to just move on and to not destroy the run and the snow for the rest of those who could ski it well.

Sphincter Factor high! Work on connecting your turns to keep your legs from freezing up with lactic acid.
Nice snow.
Jeez, you're sluffing off all the fluff! All that sideslipping ruins it for everyone who follows...
These guys on hill, 1 pm: “this is crazy, unskiable, survival mode only..” Same guys at bar in lodge 4 pm (loudly): “we totally crushed the chutes today bro”.
Nah bro, i'm crushed after a ski day. No more energy. I'm too tired to do anything, and I fall asleep by 8.
and then my 8 year old daughter flies by, always a fun ride.
Snow squeegee
Think I'll just invent a traverse to get over the the tree patch you're showing at the beginning.
When you go on trails that you have no business on. What really is bs is when you are coming down these trails and you run into people like this.
Your name has no business + at least he's careful + I bet that, if it were your first time, you'd ski like he did.
why is everyone skiing on supper slider snow skates now ?
That would only be "survival skiing" if the snow wasn't good! :)
Does it make any sense ?
Id be rippin the shit out of yhat lol. Hop turn hop turn double. Blue square.
Great job scrapping off the snow in the chute. The snow "was" good. Like that she acknowledged she's not even skiing.
Exactly!
Where is this place???
Plz tell me that's in Europe!...
No it's in america. If it were in europe, the snow would not have been so good and it would not have been a glade.
Steamboat
Bro you ski like my old ass dad 😂😂😂
please stick to the greens until you learn how to turn.
I knoooow bro! I was waiting for some speed action… jump.. something.
Watch out everyone, we got a badass over here
Don't be a dick. Worth trying these things
Hero.
I stopped watching at :26
How to ruin juicy pow...
Please!
The next trail was a groomer
Nice area but next time point them down and go for it
So you're not really skiing you're surviving.
Ski much ?
Your scraping all the good snow off. That’s why I only ski in the backcountry.
Yup, ruining it for those that know how to ski it.
There's plenty of snow for everybody, and this is the west coast after all, right?
I can do this on a board lmao
Send it
...And end up in the hospital

If I were you, i'd definitely not post this hate comment. Shame on you.
Steamboat and extreme shouldn’t be used in the same sentence
You got enough bad comments, I won’t leave one. Maybe post videos after you guys can ski
Leave the guy alone. This run is extremely difficult, and it's completely ok to take your time.
Probably the most unnecessary 'dropping' call of all time
Probably the most unnecessary comment of all time.
if you cant do it, dont...
just go have some real fun on the blues...
Nah, this is how you get better. As long as you aren't an outrageous risk to yourself or endangering others, this is how you improve.

It's very fun.
Learn to ski first and then go to such a slope, not a single correct swing. safet first !
Wonderful! A video of 3 or 4 idiots who don't know how to ski; and on a slope they have no business being on.
Ever heard the saying: "If you have something bad to say, then don't say it at all." quote?
This is hard to watch. Side slipping is not really skiing.
