It's an Insta360R. Thanks for the nice words!

Ha - we call them mini golf lines! They are still quite fun.

I think January this year - one of the weekends we had a fairly strong warm event that lead to corn like snow on south facing slopes.

Thanks for the nice comment! I'll be posting more cool backcountry lines from the zones I ski as well, Tahoe is amazing in the winter!

Thanks for the nice comment! We've had some nice powder days this year and this zone is really fun!

Hi - we booked through our guide Klaus Tscherrig. He was able to book the helicopter and lead us on the tour. He's great - if you google him you'll find his website.

Thanks!!!

Yeah, just forgot to post it. Spring 2023 (I think i said in description but I'll check).

Thank you!

Yeah - we didn't have much snow until a few days later. Thanks for the beta on the line.

Thanks!

Yep, that was this morning.

nice! it was really good monday afternoon as well. Surprised I haven't run into you up there...or maybe we have crossed skintracks and just dont know it. Anyways fun vids, thx for posting.@@barronernst

@@BryanManning Do you ever ski in the mornings - I'm usually up there before work around 6/630 on weekdays.

no, Im generally a weekend warrior(am). I work in the const. industry, so Im pretty much 7-3/m-f @@barronernst

Yeah - check the description, I believe it was Chassoure into col de la Mouche according to Fatmap. But please let me know if I've got that wrong!

Yeah you were right about the big black rock you were looking for @@barronernst. But at one point you both slid underneath a rock where you should have gone over to follow the traverse a little bit further towards that rock. Than the skis on the backpack or sholder for the short climb towards the terras where you put the skis back on. Continue for a little bit on the south face till you are on the ridge above Chassoure. Pass the gastank on your way, and a little further you have the entry into la Banane-la Mouche or if you continue to follow the ridge up for the line into super Mouche-Gentianes. What you did on the video was the descent from Mt. Gele towards Chassoure liftstation.

This zone is so much fun - hopefully we get a bit more snow. I looked at it from Houghton last weekend and it looks really bony this year!

Thanks!

Agreed - it was a really really nice day with awesome conditions to ski that couloir. I also love La Grave!

Not sure why you think we're lost? This was probably my 5-6th time skiing from the top of Grand Montets down to Argentiere Glacier. This was a variant by the rock that was new for me, but also because there was some decent snow hidden in there. We ended up on Argentiere glacier and one of the members of our crew would not have done well with the longer exit couloirs farther down. All said, thanks for watching the video - just wondering why you thought that? Pas de Chevre is a great descent as well!

@@barronernst Don't worry chum, I must be losing it. I'll no doubt be in a home this time next year, chuntering about the time i did Tourtain. Thanks for the vid!

Thanks - happy new year!

Yeah, these are deathwish tours 190. Highly recommended - they are a great ski.

He's a great guide, highly recommended!

3 main pairs and 1 crappy pair for early season at resorts. The green ones (Navis) are really good for corn and my lightest setup. They are easy to handle but they also get thrown around a lot in chop. The blue/red ones are definitely chargers even though it's a touring ski (Moment Deathwish). That's probably my favorite pair of skis, but these videos are when I just got them so I definitely had a few moments when I was still understanding that ski - as I skied them more I definitely learned how to handle them significantly better. Last are my soul 7s, which are more of of the resort setup now, but I have shifts on them because sometimes they are fun to take out in to the backcountry as well.

There is an attachment insta360 offers to attach to the backpack. In my case, I had it attached to the selfie stick, and secured in my backpack basically so that it was over my shoulder. This only was discovered because the helmet mount sticker fell off and I was experimenting until I got another helmet sticker on there. But it created some interesting opportunities.

Enjoy!

Insta360R, which is one of their older models. It's a great camera, highly recommends and their editing software makes it really easy to put together decent shots.

Thanks for the nice comment!

HAHA, they are still a fun setup, but I've added to the Backcountry quiver this year with some Moment Deathwish Tours and Navis Freebirds.

what don't ya believe?

@@yettimannettii2039 the amount of snow still there. It's holding up so well. I was up mid May

@@NSMO647 It was just an incredible year snow wise. I'll take an average year this year, ha.

They just need to get the gondola to the top rebuilt. For now, touring is the only way to get up here, but in a weird way, that keeps the crowds away. I've done it both ways, and I sort of prefer having to tour to get to the top.

The other option is that elevator shaft entrance you see to the right of the cliff. So I guess this is the mellow option, even though I'm pretty sure it was in the 45 degree range. HA

They are all on the trail map. No longer there - this was earlier in the season. Enjoy, it was a great time!

@@barronernst , thank you!

Take an AIARE course and find good partners to ski with who know what they are doing and don't take unncessary risk!
