Blizzard of Aaah's Coloir Sequence - Greg Stump

[@cdawg9149]

Plake and Schmidt still Iconic legends . Stump made a few of the greatest ski flicks ever. THEY WILL NEVER DIE!!!!!!

[@HeeHawCapital]

die to ski,, live to tell I show my kids non stop on how to ski w these films. I am a good DAD

[@kevinbyrne5037]

I was ski instructing and mountaineering in Germany when I first saw the movie.... I was totally blown away. I’m in my sixty’s now and feel just the same way... Feels like yesterday.

[@boathemian7694]

No kidding. I worked at A Basin in’78 where this started for me lol.

[@weirdbeard1980]

This blew my mind when I was a kid. One of the quintessential "extreme skiing" clips from the 80's.

[@glenndanzig8673]

Best ski movie ever, Plake is legend, guy was nuts!

[@donaldkalinich4323]

best movie ever ! I used to own a ski shop in northern nj, and i had a chance to ski with plake at hidden valley., Great experience!

[@kjsinsaino]

this scene changed my life. 41 years old still ripping dh bikes and snowboard. thank you guys. you started it all.

[@BOULDERGEEK]

I decided when I turned 40 that I would give myself whatever I wanted for my birthday. I moved to the French Alps and rode the grand cols of Tour de France history. The day of my 40th birthday was special. I drove with some friends to Chamonix, and we had Pol Roger Grand Cru on top of the Aiguille du Midi. It was this video clip that put the idea in my head when I was 18. As the tram got close to the entry station, I was shouting in my head "That's it! Plake's couloir!"

[@ronasher18]

The Grand Montets is not on the Aiguille du Midi!

[@BADLANDSx]

Plake is a role model for extreme skiing. remember watching this scene 20 times growing up. i got sponsored out in lake louise and made a career out of it for a few years. all thanks to Plake raising the bar of what seemed impossible.

[@crispee1978]

only 20?, i watched this video so many times it ended up fukin up. every cliff i ever jumped had this soundtrack in my head, lol.

[@jamesdougherty2884]

it looks 30mph, but it still gives goose bumps so many years later

[@jamesdougherty2884]

or maybe there was a split second of 50mph during the free fall

[@jamsgra]

Still gets my heart pumping 30 years after I first saw it! :)

[@Pgd10020]

What a time to be alive

[@LegallyPumped]

Just went to this spot at Grand Montets last week. Scoped this line and it is even sketchier now that snow levels have receded due to climate change or whatever. Rocks everywhere. Seriously doubting anyone will ever hit it again.

[@extreme_ryan_delena]

Legally Pumped dude it’s probably just a bad snow year. Some years are shallow some years are deep. Doesn’t mean it’ll never be skiable again

[@markosterman4974]

@@extreme_ryan_delenaNo, it’s not just a matter of a bad snow year. Since this greatest of all ski movies was filmed, the glaciers and neve in the Chamonix massif have diminished dramatically. The absolute best example of this is the Mer de Glace glacier which has retreated dramatically, to the point where the Montenvers gondola which brings you from the base of the glacier to the train station has in the past forty years or so required the construction of a staircase further down from the bottom of the gondola to the ever receding surface of the glacier. Every few years they have added more steps as the glacier keeps dropping and they have now more than five hundred steps, if I understand correctly. More than a couple of hundred feet! And the couloir skied from the glacier tunnel exit at the Aiguille du Midi probably hasn’t been skied in decades, because it’s just rocks. Climate change is real and it’s ruining skiing!

[@haverhill9]

Schmidt was a fkn MADMAN...PLAKE completely INSANE....TOGETHER = FKN AWESOME !!! 💪💪💪💪💪💪🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

[@IanDarling1]

I am a warren miller fan, but the Blizzard of Ahhhhs is the greatest ski flick of all time.

[@johnmartinsen963]

Groove and StrangeGlove beat any Miller flick as well (IMO)

[@mark-de-leeuw]

This scene is epic. But the look on the dog's face is priceless.

[@skimckay]

Those were the days! I skied with Glen in Argentiere and Mammouth.

[@richthetrashpicker-upper5244]

Badass still to this day

[@richthetrashpicker-upper5244]

Never gets old

[@sfpboy]

Every turn is a sign of weakness 🤣

[@jeffreyhusack2400]

One of my favorites

[@ripabong]

This takes me back to my youth and the fun I had with my mates. I am now married with kids that have no interest at all at doing this. may the ''WARRIORS OF THE WAIST LAND LIVE ON''

[@johnafsoc8929]

I don’t care how many times I see that. When Glen jumps in and clears that crevasse in Plake style it reminds me why my knees ache. Lmao.

[@stevestewart4187]

Epic movie

[@haverhill9]

INSANE

[@SPXclothing]

"But look who's in the starting gate"

[@Atraslin]

Awesome! 🤘🔨

[@TedSwayze]

Glen said if he had his 223’s he’d of nailed it! But glad he didn’t when he turned raised his fists I was hooked on skiing beyond my limits!

[@peterschancel7223]

Loving all the comments . We remember when xtreme was just skiing new harder slopes. This started the X - Games . My friends used to make snowboards when you couldn't buy them . Ski Areas banned them and the Punk attitude / Beastie bOys promoted the New. Come a lomg way all the way to the Oylmpics big air half pie border cross Snow boarding saved skiing. Now we are all riders on the snow.

[@jestermoon]

Take A Moment Been there Looking down from the top I have fond memories 🎉 1:22 Ski Wild Stay Silly Stay Safe and Stay Free 🌐

[@blkcoupequattro]

Today's equipment is 25 years newer also, if you could land any jump back then into 3' + powder on twigs 210cm long you were a stud, make know bones about Glen's time was almost up just a few weeks ago in Tibet...

[@grahammonk8013]

I remember watching the bit just before this. The guide, who was a Kiwi I think, was trying to act all cool. "The Poubelle, garbage chute, maybe we ski that later" and Scott says he wants to try it...."Is that OK Murray?" ...."Ehh, sure, sure" and you can see from his face he's wondering, who the fuck are these nutters?

[@alexspreservationsociety]

Schmidt said this was one of the few jumps that scared him. That’s saying something.

[@JoAvg-ws7qx]

Plake!!!

[@youtubeaccount9058]

Just sorta pointed downward and let nature take its course

[@zakaroonetwork777]

Weakest Stunt Scott didn’t even ride out. Blake Would have ridden it out till the end, and the. To the bottom.

[@1veryreal]

It's crazy that today you see 12 yr olds hitting stuff life that, and throwing rodeos off it! Skiing powder and drops on those long skinny skis was really difficult though. Great shot w the dog and place lol

[@porter4817]

Couple of wild mfer right there LOL

[@AsaTehang]

👍👍👍

[@stevencoardvenice]

God bless america!! These boys took that ass kicking from the mountain well

[@MikeColagrossi]

OG's

[@theatlantean3]

when was this filmed? i loved the first years of extreme skiing..........I modeled my skiing style after Scot (tried to), and gave up racing downhill to jump cornices world-wide :-) Thanks for the inspiration, Scot........beauty.......

[@guldiaight]

today, preschoolers ride this, without crashing.

[@cdawg9149]

They do a backflip and land backwards while drinking a red bull at the same time. That being said , Plake and Schmidt will always be the greatest IMHO.

[@stevemc5326]

Big balls .

[@MrRrully]

IT'S COULOIR

[@chrispykelly]

Watched this clip 100s of times as a kid. I grew up with this as well, but realistically Plake and Schmidt look like freakin gapers. Lucky they did not break thier necks. Today lines like this are routinely dropped by 19 year old rubber astro boys.

[@jonathanmitchell6720]

What is the name of this couloir?

[@leonardbertaux6897]

Poubelle Couloir, French for “trash can”

[@v4ngeloz]

this is the shit!!!

[@CRUCIALMATTERS]

Did Greg Stump give you permission to put this on KZbin?!?

[@andrewdinns1746]

duh

[@TriptoCo]

I've dropped into Corbet's at least 3 dozen times myself over the years. Great chute....

[@thierrylecomte6650]

Mdr. 😂

[@maxwellelder4733]

C a cham frrrr

[@josephastier7421]

Nice going. I could do that and I don't even ski.

[@haverhill9]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@madeinwest-germany1671]

Shaun White would enter the Coloir with a double cork
