GoPro RAW POV at Eagle Pass Heli

[@Extralarse]

My kind of paradise! I'll pick this over a sunny beach day anytime.

FAXSSSS

[@elivil]

same, if only I knew how to snowboard lol

[@samvalenziano3312]

Best part is, this is in a way a sunny beach day 😂😂😂

[@samvalenziano3312]

It can’t not be topped 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@aquib72]

Snowboarding >>>> Surfing.

[@jtscully83]

I don’t get jealous often, but when I do, it’s when I’m watching videos like this from my desk at work!

[@ElitistIntellectual]

This and watching real estate / car videos

[@brianbishoptv]

This is the coolest thing I've ever seen in my whole life.

[@XxMrWilsonxX]

that was absolute magical, the views were amazing too, the sound of the board gliding the snow sounds so therapeutic

[@The-Man-On-The-Mountain]

There's nothing better than raw footage of pow fun. No crazy stuff, just 100% relatable runs. You should do a compilation like this every end of season. Sick video! 👍🏻

[@SageKotsenburg]

Yeah we will 100%!

[@joeswanson3294]

I love watching this dude coz he picks the lines where my eyes are going

[@hunterdunn2610]

I have never snowboarded before but have always wanted to. Recently I have been watching so many videos of people snowboarding and skiing and all it does is make me want to do it more. It seems so peaceful yet such a rush of adrenaline at the same time. Definitely number 1 thing on my bucket list right now is to learn how to snowboard

[@shy4949]

Yess same

[@DeadheadInABed]

DO IT! It's the best feeling... started this year after skateboarding my whole life and I feel I've opened a new door to endless possibilities.

[@BARF_FACE_9000]

Go for it! Give yourself some time to get your feet under you, it might take a few times going before you're able to turn confidently. If I could give one big tip starting out it's to not put your hands out instinctively to catch or break your fall, as that often can lead to a bad sprain of your wrist. It's better to try to absorb the fall otherwise (ie with your forearms / elbows, but not your palms / hands flat) Hope that makes sense. GLHF!

[@ethanhuynh7139]

I started snowboarding 2 years ago and whenever im able to have a giant trail to just do whatever, the feeling is amaazing

[@jameslangridge1674]

I highly recommend wrist guards and a helmet initially. And one of the best ways to do it is to see if you can work at the ski resort for a season. That will give you loads of time to truly learn slowly and properly, and to experiment at your own pace. One of my all-time best experiences was doing 6 months at Beaver Creek in Colorado (USA) working as a liftie and having an all access pass to all Vail-owned Resorts. I had never snowboarded in my life (never even been in proper snow until then), but grew up surfing and skating, so the basic understanding was there, luckily. It still took me a few days to adjust though. Have fun and go for it.

[@Xaviercarter1874]

this is my favourite snowboarding video of all time. That scenery is just *stunning!*

[@SageKotsenburg]

Sick! Thanks for watching, it truly is a special place

[@Xaviercarter1874]

@SageKotsenburg and by the way, your the Goat!!!!

[@renjamun]

Yo dude I love watching you shred. Especially since you ride pimp style your tricks and line choice are so much more relatable. Thank you

[@SageKotsenburg]

Thanks a lot i appreciate that!

[@KING-ko9ls]

Pimp Style is the best style.

[@elijahbuscho7715]

What is pimp style?

[@mv4937]

Pimpstyle means he rides goofy, right foot in front

[@Biohazord360]

snowboarding is my therapy I'm still learning how to toe-edge and such I think it's harder for me because I was born with clubbed feet and the docs worked on my feet a lot as a toddler so it's harder but honestly I think that is all in my mind. I love snowboarding it's so much fun but I'm still just learning basic turning and such with how my ankles work haha good footage man.

[@trippinsoul930]

man...this just puts a smile on my face.

[@hojunder]

That looks so much fun and exhilarating! Sick video!

[@daethedeva8055]

This + some DrumnBase playing in the background is a true second-hand experience bro! It helps a lot while I'm at work and in Florida where mountains don't exist lol!

[@Ryan-td3td]

somehow watching some of this just before and after my icy day on the mountain made the day better. Maybe it was just the reminder that there's runs like these out there. Hopefully I can do Eagle's Pass one day.

[@jasonallen3678]

I would never attempt to do this,but respect of you all that do..

[@camerondarnbrough3916]

Best snowboarding video I've ever watched!

[@HoStevie]

What dreams are made of

[@justin6604]

Amazing view, the mountains of snow just looks never ending. I wish to see this in real life one day and also snowboard for the first time.

[@SageKotsenburg]

Hope you get a chance to ride someday!

[@fredtaylor1205]

Amazing views and the lines you can choose are endless.

[@donnyb-adventures7063]

Dude this is the pow surfing I dream of at night!!! Love it!!!

[@choppa1345]

could sit and watch these videos all day long. I went snowboarding for the first time in july (im in aus) at Mt. Blue Cow and i picked it up really quickly, watching these videos is like feeding me. I miss it, so thank you hahaha

[@SageKotsenburg]

Epic, i love Aus and the shredding there. Congrats on first days shredding, welcome!

[@ADbe-z5h]

Finally a goofy pov I can watch while waiting for winter to come, so I can hop on my board and ride

[@SageKotsenburg]

[@thomasrohleder4281]

Amazing upload. Great riding and location. Thx for all the good work. Watching sage ride goofy in first person makes everything scarier for me since I suck at switch.

[@SageKotsenburg]

Hahaha i always think the same thing when i watch Regular POVs

[@videosibueno]

brilliant footage, i just picked up a gopro 11 myself specifically for the snowboard season. hope it turns out as nice as this!

[@SageKotsenburg]

Sick! You’ll be stoked

[@tristanwolske8201]

That is insanely awesome!!

[@JoshBlaylockRocks]

Sick vid! You guys scored. Well worth the price!!!

[@TIm_Bugge]

I'm watching this at half-speed while listening to the OST for The Last Temptation of Christ: Peter Gabriel. The light and terrain are fantastic. I would love to see some HD in camera slo-mo follow-drone footage.

[@SageKotsenburg]

Sounds great!

[@thepurplesunhat]

Awesome. Personally I am from SC so I don't get whole lotta snow and mountains but soon I am going snow tubing with my friends up in NC.

[@ynot0714]

Been skiing my whole life but this vid makes me want try boarding, is it to late for a guy 59 and it great shape? Haha. Thanks for sharing!

[@djtjpain]

Learning for me involved falling repeatedly for days lol bet you could do better with an actual teacher though. Never know unless you try.

[@casualarrogance]

@@djtjpainA couple of days of lessons to stand up and turn, then after that you need friends that snowboard very well to challenge you on any terrain. Hard at first but you will improve quickly. After a full season you can def ride powder and intermediate lines like in this video.

[@itsdezzire5461]

damn dude you got some skills and those views are spectacular

[@SageKotsenburg]

🙌

[@valera993]

Amazing video . Got my heart pumping like I was the one standing on that snowboard 🤟

[@SageKotsenburg]

Thanks, that’s what’s up! I felt similar when i was younger watching vids

[@Blackirish__]

That’s probably the best footage and terrain I have seen, Scott newsome told me that it was amazing where he is when I was talking about how good Japan was

[@deeemm979]

What a dreamland.🤤

[@MR1977.]

That’s called living the dream right there.

[@omarmuhyar2005]

How much vert are you getting per run here? My guess would be like 3-4k, at least? Looks amazing. Would love to do a bucket list trip like this and have considered cheaper cat skiing options, but it doesn't seem like you get the same vert. This looks way better.

[@danielajavgureanu5011]

really cool watching this during the summer. really missing the shreddd

[@SageKotsenburg]

Can’t wait to shred!

I can feel the softness!

Hi Sage, What mountain did you ride? Looks like Alaska. Looking forward to encounter such conditions. I am from Germany…

[@SageKotsenburg]

This was at Eagle Pass Heli super closr to Revelstoke!

[@ChristophRossi]

@@SageKotsenburg thanks for the quick response. Your movie is great. I did spent one week at panorama with RK heliskiing this winter. Also a great experience. Also we had not that much snow at the end of January. Looking forward the get such poudercontitions like you did. Greetings for Germany, Christoph

[@zipery333]

powder part is awesomeeeeeee!!!!!😇😇😇

[@Victormca97]

just getting into the sport and i’m not familiar with back county riding, do you hike the mountain or on snowmobiles, sorry don’t know how it works, only been a handful of times at resorts.

[@SageKotsenburg]

For me i do it all. Resorts, splitboard, hike out, snowmobile, heli. Different experiences with each one, here we were on a heli trip 👌

[@GazerBeam420]

how do you know how deep the snow is? insane

[@Joseph-zi7bc]

What GoPro are you using or this?? The angle is amazing! I am never able to get something like this!

[@yj0902]

Sick stuff. Mind sharing details on the yellow pack?

[@SageKotsenburg]

Yellow pack is from DB they just dropped and my colorway of it! It’s 34L so you can fit a ton in it if you hike split or tour a lot it’s really rad!

[@Rodarte_]

Love your raw videos. What FOV are you using to get your board in tbe frame? Thanks in advance. 🤙

[@SageKotsenburg]

Thanks! We filmed this at 8:7 2.7k 60… so fun!

[@TitansManiac83]

Sage, what was your thought process in choosing the Antidote vs Alchemist each day? Is there a specific reason you switched it up, or are you like me and just like to ride a variety of boards?

[@SageKotsenburg]

Good question. So I rode the Antidote the first day and it was -20F and it judt wasn’t riding that fun. So i switched to the Alchemist the next day as it was super deep and i have less tail on that board so it didn’t feel like i had to push my back leg down as far. Alchemist is great for riding but not as good for tricks so if i’m just shredding i prefer the Alchemist

[@andrea_amorese]

Wow great video! What settings are use for pov?

[@TheOriginal1234]

I love powder but whenever I ski in it I completely die. Hopefully I'll be like you someday!

[@pendejo312]

Yo!! That’s how I just broke my arm! Did a gnarly scorpion in the powder on a turn. Seeing him ride in it is insane to me!

клевые покатушки, приятный уклон, много снега, редкие деревья

Yeah so much fun 🙌

[@itwasfresh5261]

Question, What procedures did you have to go through to do this ride? Like making sure there is little threats for an avalanche, the safety gear and preparations leading up to the ride. I'd like to do this one day, but I have no Idea what is needed to do something at this measure. Anyways sick riding, I hope I have a chance to do this at least once in my life.

[@SageKotsenburg]

You should do an Avalanche Safety Class first and foremost and just start there. So many things to learn but that is a great start. At this Op we were at though we had a Guide who led us through the terrain. Always have the right gear as well! Enjoy the turns

[@itwasfresh5261]

Can I ask you what kind of board (Name/ model) your riding in this video? I keep buying powder boards that float, but can't stick landings because the TAILS on powder boards are weird or too short.

[@SageKotsenburg]

Yep! I was on the K2 Antidote the first bit then switched to the Alchemist cause it was actually so cold the snow was a lil sticky and my Alchemist has less tail so it was easier to ride. My brother was riding the K2 Passport which is a friendlier version of the Alchemist. Hope this helps 🙌
