It's A Good Feeling - Snowboarding at Mt Baker

[@coltondobson4019]

so sick man! im a lifty their sad i didnt see you! ryan is the homie! you and johnathon buckhouse are the reasons i started riding! first season about done

[@denondebonde]

Ive only been to Mt Baker once, and it was epic (It had snowed for 7 days stright for over 8feet) Ive never tried anything like it. Love your videos.

[@inmotion_snow]

What a vlog, great vibes and super pow lines

[@VenturaIT]

Baker looks fun to ride with a group.

[@hawkwind769]

Tomorrow starts dumping up there.. Going up Sunday and Friday🤙🏽❤️

[@SnowboardProCamp]

Baker! Wish I was there!

[@davidbenitez949]

Love your videos. I was at Baker around the same time! I struggle riding when it’s overcast and foggy because of the lack of visibility. Any tips?

[@wyldcanuck]

Everyone struggles in those conditions. Make sure you have a good low light lens for your goggles. But most importantly, the better you know the resort, the better you’ll know your way around on low visibility days. Nothing else you can really do.

[@AlanLamb11]

Low light lenses, good anti-fog, take your time. I skied off a 50 foot cliff in fog at a resort I knew. Was just off the chute I thought I was at by 30 feet and what I thought was a landmark cliff was a bank of trees. Luckily it was POW almost as deep as this stuff at Baker but when you are airborne and can't see the bottom the surge of adrenaline is pretty intense.

[@dreadiedude]

Generally there's abit more definition near the trees on foggy days, so hanging out next to or in the trees can help when you can't see the snow elsewhere.

[@blaxmith64]

Embrace the vertigo and stay light on your feet

[@BoardsBikesAndHikes]

Love the longer videos! The more snowboard pro camp the better!!

[@BoardsBikesAndHikes]

Absolutely loving all the Baker footage! It looks like the place to be this season for sure

[@brianlewis2384]

KP back with the banger vid!

[@mnorton4952]

So glad I picked up that jacket it looks sick in action

[@AstralsYoutube]

Absolutely beautiful man. I'm super jealous that I haven't gotten to ride in some nice pow yet. One day I hope to have an amazing adventure like the one you shared with us!

[@maufacini]

Hey Kevin! I love your videos. I appreciate if you do a video telling tricks using you go pro for shooting and also tips for getting ready with you gear for beginning of season. Well, i live in New Zealand and it’s far to be able to go to the mountains again, but I really appreciate how to prepare my board (how apply wax etc) when time comes. Cheers

[@nicklebac6753]

I’m in northern montana and it was my resorts last weekend of the season and it dumped this past weekend it was an awesome way to end it

[@ggentlemanw]

Heyyy , long time, first time lol. My home mountain right there! .. and I only just saw that you posted this now, a year later. Come back for some spring backcountry and I’ll see you out there!

[@matthewcheung5136]

Do you think the Burton Hometown hero would be a good board for these conditions or would you rather have a pow board?

[@hokkaidoshred]

That looks so sick!🔥

[@wacomtexas]

Noice. My first ever day on a snowboard was at Mt Baker in similar conditions (but strictly on-piste as a beginner obvs). This vid reminds me I need to revisit this amazing mountain..

[@apryl111]

Surprised to see the few comments which are negative towards Mt Baker. I’m an Aussie and lived in Washington for a few years back around 2017 and it was my local mountain, and also where I first got on a snowboard (with the help of Kevin’s basic how-to videos!) This video was so nostalgic for me and took me back to such awesome memories of powder days at Baker. Maybe if you visit with high expectations you’ll be disappointed by things such as the car park etc… but the terrain is awesome and there’s so much variety. Great video Kevin 😊

[@nicklebac6753]

You should make a video of a good progression into tree riding or back country I think it would help people aiming to be able to rip through those black diamond tree routes

[@tannerk3732]

Mt Baker never gets snow, I'd stick to other resorts further south. 🙄

[@SnowboardProCamp]

True!

[@penelocent]

Yeah DO NOT come to baker 😉😉😉😉

[@wrinkle66]

Great scenes. For some reason your 360 camera was causing a line distortion across the center of the frame. Are you using the One X2 or an earlier version?

[@MinamiX3]

Nah that's kinda normal on a 360, stitching errors. The "center" of the frame would be the side of the camera where software magic stitches two of the videos together from two different cameras lenses on the 360.

[@ChrisMason.333]

Where are you from Kevin? I live in Vernon. Silver star my home mountain. Just got back into boarding this year after about a ten year gap just racing motocross and snow biking. Also just happened to break my scaphoid on my second pre season day last weekend. Fricken bummer bro. Find out how long I’m out when I see hand surgeon on 13th next week.

[@LoamerMTB]

Yeah bro so sick. Baker is da bomb.

[@Strugacz]

Awesome video. Kevin will you make a video about your comm system?

[@andysimpson4257]

Also interested in this - which radios do you use Kevin? Would you recommend?

[@Bad_Riders]

Kev made a 30 min vid!? So sick!!!!! What vid were you filming with kev, you are getting a weird stitch line :/ and how many times did you change the battery?

[@bhank07]

just ended my season yesterday! enjoy the powder!

[@artiemuse]

I still watch this video when I need to calm down from a meltdown.

[@SnowboardProCamp]

Baker brings those vibes for sure!

[@aleksaloum750]

Me and my fiance spent two days up at timberline. We could miss the chance for some great days!!!!

[@Shred1904]

April dump! Insane amount of snow

[@Bad_Riders]

You left the world tour too soon! Look what you’re missing!!!!

[@Shred1904]

@@Bad_Riders 😩😭

[@benjaminandre9897]

You should have a little subtitle that shows what type of angle you’re working with on the go pro just for us video enthusiasts. I think it’s 4k 120fr and wide angle?

[@ellstackeradventures]

Spc movie let's gooooo

[@SnowboardProCamp]

Haha! Movie mode!

[@SidinSeattle]

I'm in the market to buy 360 camera. But does that line where 2 videos meet always there? Bcoz its kinda bothersome tbh Also what camera is it?

[@racheljemmett7159]

is it hard to keep the camera steady while riding?

[@georgedaswani9155]

Are those tree runs to the left of Chair 8?

[@SnowboardProCamp]

I’m not exactly sure. But some runs are near chair 8

[@AlanLamb11]

I have caught 1 day at Baker that DEEP. So niiice. That system that hit the Cascades is moving west so I think we will get 2 days of pow in the Rockies but 2-5 inches, not what y'all were enjoying in this vlog.

[@surfersparadise5533]

Hey dude, another awesome vid. How was Big White? Hopefully it turned on for you. My Partner is from Kelowna and Big White is our second home when we aren't back in OZ (Surfers Paradise.) Oh and Australia has finally opened up to Canadians. So see you down at Perisher or Thredbo buddy. Mid to late August is the best time for down here. Been hitting Perisher for over 25 years and have heaps of awesome places to score some good runs.

[@Outlawed1]

Baker is notorious for lots of rain and long lift lines. No cell service and the wet heavy snow is always bogging your riding down and fogging goggles is a consistent thing. It’s not a good place to vacation and or take a trip to. Locals there are hardcore. Dudes wear trash bags and people are used to the rain so there’s a lot of people parked in their cars (waiting the rain out) which usually ends up with a full parking lot and no room for parking. It’s so far away from anything (hotels, restaurant and resort type accommodations) further south Stevens Pass and Snoqualamie pass have it all and rail and terrain parks. Head to those resorts and ride better snow. Baker is a bust 9 out of 10 times. Not worth the trip.

[@ellstackeradventures]

Yooo

[@Bo_in_Seattle]

😉😉😉😉😉😉

[@imghost3964]

Very true, you a local

[@penelocent]

I’m a local and I think if you live fairly close then baker is totally worth the trip! The lift tickets are also really cheap compared to a lot resorts , but yeah if you live super far than you probably won’t want to come all the way to baker

[@ClayTJohnson]

It is super low in elevation too. Skip Baker and head to Steven's or Whistler.

[@tanthalasschoech7183]

What are the songs played in this video?

[@imghost3964]

I'm a local at baker and I didnt know people categorize it as like really gnarly

[@kurisutofarm5244]

Yewwww!!!!!! Pow in April!?!?!! Jealous!!!!! Enjoy!

[@DopamineAddiction]

Is this a GoPro Max?

[@respectvibes]

Song name?? starts at 19:30 ends 24:36???

[@CarleyPrice-s5d]

Dont those chair lift seats have safety bars

[@robertyeo2643]

Hey Kevin, u think Baker is doable day trip from Vancouver? Long time following your videos, great distraction from work!! See you in Whistler!

[@andrewtompkins9522]

Easy

[@Outlawed1]

It’s 1 hour 15 mins from Bellingham Washington so depending what part of Vancouver BC you’re coming from add another hour so 2.5hrs give or take a few mins haha. Definitely doable!

[@dreadiedude]

This looks so sick! Looked like such a fun day :) what 360 camera are you using?

[@simonsays2089]

siiiiick!

[@MrWeeprab]

another banger. if you want to split id be happy to show you around

[@vgfan100]

NO WAY! I was just there at the beginning of April! Man, I missed you guys. If you went up Saturday April 2nd, then I may have passed by you. :) EDIT: I also got some video footage as well. It was snowing in the morning and the clouds disappeared in the afternoon. It was an AMAZING experience to say the least.

[@joshwebster357]

You're definitely better than me at riding, and i probably do the same thing. But i feel like you should bend your knees more.

[@aidandonaldson4776]

Right in them tree wells eh

[@julianeichenberger4449]

Dont go to mt baker its flat and never snows

[@ОльгаГудкова-ю8ы]

👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

[@MumsTx]

why dont you use the safety bar? just to look like a badass????

[@Negentropy369]

Most people don't. Maybe it's different where you live but in my experience in the U.S. I'd say maybe 35% of people use the safety bar. That's probably a high estimate. Personally it often feels like more of a hazard than a safety feature because you have to rely on everyone being attentive. I've had my arm crushed and head hit multiple times by people pulling it down without any warning or communication of any kind, and also people who weren't ready to put it up at the end. I don't feel any risk of falling with it up, even when the chair stops suddenly. Not to mention some of them don't work well with snowboards, especially a full chair of them, and even more so if there's a mix of goofy and regular riders. So yeah, your reductive and judgemental "just to look like a badass" is pretty short sighted, there are many legitimate reasons people dont use it.

[@MumsTx]

​@@Negentropy369 🤣🤣🤣 that's make my day... you really belive in what you saying? The risk of falling 20m or 30m is better than a hit in the head (that should be protect with the helmet)? I'm in Portugal, and one of the places i ride is in Andorra, maybe one of the biggest places in the world, and the people maybe knows how to comunnicate better, and everybody uses the safety bar... 🤣🤣🤣 "There are many legitimate reasons people dont use it." 🤣🤣🤣 comme on

[@WreckedAuthority]

​@MumsTx only new riders and kids use the safety bar at baker. No one ever falls from the lift. The old chairs don't have bars, give me a break lol I feel 0 risk without a bar

[@MumsTx]

@@WreckedAuthority Hey genius: "The old chairs don't have bars" Some things are evolving... Others not really... 🤣🤣🤣 You use the safety belt on your car?

[@WreckedAuthority]

@MumsTx You don't know what you're doing if you're at risk of falling off and yes you should use the kiddie bar, genius.

[@jayalabdullah5677]

Love the videos but i'd rather hear the original audio when you snowboard rather than the annoying music! it's the only thing stopping me from watching the videos.

[@creekertodd]

Muast be wierd to not care about the people who live in the areas you exploit for $$$. Your missing the core of snowboarding.

[@VenturaIT]

What's 40cm in inches, asking for a friend...

[@k-lub9627]

About 15.5", but it ended up being 25" on this day
