I paddled across a lake to go skiing in July

This week, we're getting even weirder on the hunt for snow. Hopefully my ski edges don't put any holes in my cheap old inflatable kayak.

It is just spectacular around there summer or winter. I keep telling everyone if there is a snow line to be skied then our spicey Master Mountain Touring Powder Skiing Extrodinaire Mr. James WILL find it and slay it. Props to the Family and a special props to the little? sis making it to the Lake. Powder on campers only a few more months till ski season!!!!!! Mucho appreciado my friend!

[@riseandalpine]

Thanks so much brother. Helping keep the dream alive during the summer snow drought 🙏. Not long at all until that glorious fresh is falling again.

[@stephen-he4iw]

ski videos in July hit so good

[@riseandalpine]

Ayyyeee!!! Turns in July hit even better! So glad you’re still tuning in

[@Birch.Ridge.Backcountry]

This was great to watch as i lay in my AC after working in 38 degree weather all day. Thanks

[@riseandalpine]

Working outside in 38 is not joke. Stay cool tomorrow my dude. Thanks for watching.

[@TheBigHeavyKevy]

Heck ya. He freaking did it.

[@riseandalpine]

You bet! So worth it.

[@Coasterpostalt]

Yeah, you tell that rock field!!! Can't wait to see more summer content!

[@riseandalpine]

That rock field is going to have some serious trauma!

[@chillinginny4490]

Wow! Totally worth the hike. Thanks for taking us with you.🙌🤘

[@riseandalpine]

Thanks for coming along!

[@TheNewGreenIsBlue]

Wow, you did it! Was up there July 1 a few years and a couple of guys were doing the same thing. I think they traversed around the other side of the bowl to get a few in. I imagine the camp area was pretty full if it was a weekend.

[@riseandalpine]

All because of you! Thanks for the wicked idea.

[@shayneknox6247]

So good. I had to stop 🛑 obsessing about skiing over two months ago on Vancouver Island and here you are racing laps 😂

[@riseandalpine]

I bet you could still find snow up on 5040 or Cain if you were feeling the itch LOL

[@chriskutlina5743]

That was awesome! I cant wait to click back into my skis. You have such good content man.

[@riseandalpine]

Thanks Chris. Nothing beats clicking in.

[@flapjackson6077]

Lmao! Bro, you’re definitely a committed skier! I’m starting to think you might he able to ski every month of the year! Oh them Canadian Rockies! Lol.

[@riseandalpine]

Every month of the year!

[@paulcentineo4174]

You’re a beast James, way 2 go! Your Family had a great time?! Lol

[@riseandalpine]

Thanks Paul. Family had a good time especially my little sis😂😂😂

[@slydogy41]

Hey the sad fact about watching this is that there is still more snow there than there is in Oz at the moment. We have had about 20 cm of natural snow this season so far 😢😢. If it wasn't for snow making we wouldn't be skiing at all.

[@riseandalpine]

Damn! Hopefully the storms have picked up since you wrote this comment!

[@choisam20]

Great to see you!!

[@riseandalpine]

Great seeing ya too!

[@jacksheehan2033]

[@FritzFrank]

My wife was concerned you were leaving Charlotte behind in the wilderness since she didn't have skis with her. 😆

[@riseandalpine]

I would never! Fam was right behind us and we were all linked with radios

[@AxeIx]

better conditions then Australia 😂 have a good summer though it’s gone before it even starts there

[@riseandalpine]

You're right LOL - maybe time for a few summer adventures :)

[@tskk_NMSL]

Now that is hardcore

[@riseandalpine]

Can't stop skiing!

[@Subalpinism]

Way to get after it buddy! This one looked a little type 2 hahaha

[@riseandalpine]

This was edging towards type 2 for sure hahaha. Should we go back to Ronayne?

[@Subalpinism]

@@riseandalpine Nah we all need a little type 2 in our lives to keep it spicy!

[@joshuacartermusic]

"if you fall in that you would die!" that is how you describe cold so that everyone can understand.

[@riseandalpine]

You can't be too careful with cold water

[@src248]

The trail reports are still saying waist deep snow on a lot of the hikes here in Ab, it's been a weird spring/summer. There's probably some great skiing to be had, but I'll stick to mountain biking :P

[@riseandalpine]

For the slow start it's shocking how long the snow is taking to melt!

[@KZ-yu4jz]

Dude, you are insane and awesome.

[@riseandalpine]

Thanks dude!

[@brettbrocoff6955]

You are the best. Crazy, but the best

[@riseandalpine]

Thanks Brett 🤟

[@RG-xi3rd]

Diehard skier for sure. Nice to see you had some turns at least.

[@riseandalpine]

Every turn counts! Would have been a bummer to not link any together 😂

[@cliang001]

This is what addiction looks like. I love it.

[@riseandalpine]

I have a problem

[@ilikeoldelpaso]

Callaghan lake I believe. Had the same idea last year.

[@riseandalpine]

Yup - great spot all season round

[@tankhistoryfordummies]

Fun fact: You can ski down in late August or September if you go up Wedge Mountain and ski down the wide couloir to the right of the arête.

[@riseandalpine]

Great tip! That is on the bucket list!

[@reybrooks7339]

Still so much snow!

[@riseandalpine]

It's holding on!

[@SenseiDecay]

Bro you're crazy. Love the videos.

[@riseandalpine]

Thanks dude!

[@lightly_weathered_chicken]

It’s insane that there is still snow in July

[@riseandalpine]

Gotta love British Columbia

[@lightly_weathered_chicken]

Where snow can be anywhere

[@vorex7139]

I love these videos bro

[@riseandalpine]

Thanks brother

[@ryane2047]

[@riseandalpine]

hahahhaa - that was so painful man. Are you sneaking in any summer turns?

[@FoundPonds]

Sharp edges in an inflatable? What could go wrong? lmao (I'm just jelly you are skiing and I'm dying in 34C humidity, ugh!)

[@riseandalpine]

My walmart kayak never fails!!

You should go grass skiing

[@riseandalpine]

I saw those ones with the wheels? I will once the snow really runs out!

Which mountain is it and when did you do it?

This is Cirque Lake and this was a few weeks ago now
