You can mark me down as absolutely wanting to see some skiing content this off season!

[@halvatek1]

Yes yes yes!! Ski adventures!! Yes yes yes!

[@lisarunsfast7368]

Yes, love ski adventures!

[@Dan-B36]

Definitely in for some skiing videos. I’ve got to drive three hours to get anywhere near a mountain that almost certainly has manmade snow so this is all I’ve got.

[@claudiobarreira9115]

You can't expect to come to any part of Portugal and keep up with the diet!!! You just can't!!! Nice highlights, can't wait for the full video!

[@RachelBurton]

I’m not a skier, but you are so good at storytelling I’d watch any of your films.

[@RuiFrias]

As a local runner (and trail runner, 'cause I also know those trails), I can only say I enjoyed this little preview and it was fun to watch the other local guys who I know very well them all, both from São Miguel and Terceira. Such a shame you were not able to complete the race in its oficial route, it's great with good weather. I will definitly wait for the final film! Thanks for the visit and for the kind words about our islands, a true paradise!

[@andydeal]

Yes, bring on the ski videos! That’s the only thing better than trail running. Love the channel!

[@DarrenYee]

Azores Islands are beautiful, Thanks for sharing, Happy Holidays!

[@brandielewis6599]

Yes to skiing videos!! Thank you for all of the great content in 2022, I always looked forward to your videos, and your UTMB video was fantastic (my favourite). Happy Holidays.

[@raphaelkinney]

Second everyone on the skiing content! Would love to see it as someone from flatland haha. Happy holidays Jeff and Audrée and thank you so much for sharing all that you have experienced in 2022!

[@gerrybesworth7762]

Terrific teaser, I very much look forward the full video. Thanks, as always, Jeff for the films you create. Have a wonderful holiday and I will be watching for all you do in 2023!

[@hotlineoperator]

I appreciate your skills as a filmmaker and storyteller. I just found your channel but I've already watched several episodes. The destinations are epic. Great destinations for future trips could be Iceland and the Nordic countries.

[@nicograf9745]

I'd love to see some skiing adventures. From what I saw on Strava you are off to a good start. Speaking of Strava. I should not have looked at your feed while you were in the Azores. I spoiled it for myself a bit. Still, with that mud, wind, rain and hail that video will be epic.

[@LauraNiemond]

Skiing adventures!!!

[@rafaelhidalgo]

Awesome! Another place I will need to visit!! Great stuff Jeff! Yup backcountry skiing is of interest! Will be hopefully doing some as well!

[@ropersix]

Definitely skiing adventures!

[@stefanoviviani6064]

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to the documentary :)

[@guylainelheureux]

Fantastic teaser! I shall be eager to see more… and yes to skiing content as well. By the way, for your next trip to Pico, you might want to stay on Horta island as it’s also worth exploring for a few days.

[@HaF7110]

Thanks for many hours happily spent watching and learning this year Jeff! Merry Christmas from Australia and can't wait to see your adventures in 2023!

[@linnea5618]

I would love to see skiing adventures! Thank you for the great videos!

[@stevevanbrussel9177]

Man what a beautiful dog and island…..I have rescued Spanish dog my self and they are great running coaches 😁😁 Can’t wait for the complete video and happy holidays 🎄🎄

[@patrikahlqvist1303]

Thanks for all the films in 2022. Yes to ski adventures.

[@jecballou]

Jeff, your videos are so well made that I would definitely enjoy also seeing your skiing content.

[@RivnatZille]

These islands look AMAZING! Damn! Can't wait for the full documentary!

[@sadiariya2034]

I visit your blogs regularly from Bangladesh. I like your presentation very much. You are invited to Bangladesh. Its history, tradition, culture and hospitality will enchant you. There are many beautiful places in this country that will enchant you. Like, (world's longest beach Cox's Bazar, largest mangrove forest Sundarbans, mountain beauty Sajek Valley, famous tea capital Sylhet, Jaflong etc.) Also the rural life here will touch your heart. . And the people of Bangladesh are very hospitable. I hope you will make the next blog about Bangladesh. Wishing you long life and good health.

[@olliemuncaster]

Love ur films and YES to skiing adventures!

[@UltraTrailSteven]

Looks like an awesome trip! Can't wait to see more.

[@Balintrebeka]

This scenery is beyond beautiful! Can't wait to see the series...ski content is very much welcomed too! Happy Holidays from Switzerland!

[@dancingcowgirl85]

Gorgeous part of the world, hope to visit one day. And yes absolutely would love some Ski Touring videos! Have a great Christmas 👍🏻 Cheers.

[@billygoat_bob]

Great content as always Jeff!! Can't wait for the Georgia and Azores videos! Some skiing adventures would be fun as well.

[@nihao4587]

Happy holidays, Jeff! Stay safe and relaxed

[@olegpasz]

I am fun of your videos. And I also run the Epic Azores 60 km at the same time. I enjoyed the horrible weather with the wind and rain. I'm really looking forward to seeing the race movie. Thank you for all your movies.

[@kimgradwell4510]

Thanks for a great year of sharing your adventures. I'd love to see back country skiing videos.

[@cpruns4501]

Looks amazing and can't wait to watch. I couldn't agree more with traveling during off peak times. I will gladly give up on some "features" of a trip to not have crowds. The price is a bonus but crowds will kill a holiday for me. What's the point of going somewhere when you can't get a reservation and you have to wait in line the whole time? No thank you. Very well done on this and it looked like a trip of a lifetime. Good luck with your editing!

[@silverdesk72]

Great video. Looking forward to more.

[@F150hdmma]

Yes skiing would be very nice

[@COMEGETSOME27]

We'd love to see some backcountry skiing adventures!

[@adventures_of_a_dale]

Merry Christmas Jeff, enjoy your downtime 😊

[@UltraReegz]

Merry Christmas Jeff! Congrats on an epic year and thank you for sharing your adventures. Enjoy the recovery time and I look forward to watching your videos next year! Cheers 🍻

Absolute love to see the skiing adventures. Happy holidays

[@donaldpkelley]

It's amazing how much you were able to cover in this beautiful video -- very nice! I found the cycling was rewarding for the awesome vistas but also character-building as all roads begin at the seaside and go up. A 70 km ride takes a good bite out of the day. Thanks for the video, all the best. Donald

[@luismendonca5539]

Congratulations for the fantastic documentary video and your epic adventures, which makes known a little about the Azores islands and shows their beauty.

[@diegogafster]

Thanks for sharing this amazing content in 2022. Absolutely in favor to watch snow activities. You are my role model and inspiration☃️🏂🏔️🏃‍♂️

[@SeeChadRun]

I'm look forward to your running videos! I wouldn't mind some ski videos from you too.

[@carinafang3320]

Enjoy your videos as always, and good to see other adventures you do in winter.

[@davidhayward1261]

Happy 🎉new year. Great video. Keep up the good work.

[@johncooper3171]

Looks absolutely spectacular place. I I've in the UK so not a million miles for me. 👍🏻 Jc🇬🇧

[@magdalenasznigir2018]

so cool, can't wait to see the movie, I had no idea you were there! I was doing Epic110! Unfortunately, I was among the unlucky ones who were stopped at 80km because of the storm :( it was my second time doing this race, so it's fine! :)

[@BBSRFC]

Wow this looks fantastic, can’t wait for the full vid, weather, scenery, and food all look epic! Merry Christmas Jeff (+ A!), thanks for all the wonderful videos this year

[@craigscott5805]

Some skiing missions would be really interesting to see 👍👍👍

[@tylerchartier3015]

Awesome trip - thanks for sharing. Definitely down for skiing adventures and also how skiing can fit into trail runners' fitness. I live in Colorado where some uphill days or backcountry adventures is a welcome joy instead of running in the snow.

[@myndiquirion180]

yes please on the skiing content

[@UniSkibum]

Yes I would love to see ski content.

[@user-qb8dl1kc2e]

It’s true 😞

[@willhogarth9945]

Ski adventures would be great to see :)

[@jamezday]

Man I love the Azores, it such a secret little escape which is why you have to unpublish this video 😁 Much preferred Azores to Madeira but that's just my take, the Azores has a certain forgotten world vibe and the people are so welcoming, I dunno it's just unique and feels like home

[@michaelbfree2run883]

This year, I did the Epic 15k (30k 2019), nice video.

[@rainemalm771]

Big yes for backcountry skiing content. Have you ever been thinking of making a collab video with Mediocre amateurs? That would be awesome..

[@JeffPelletier]

I’d love to go on an adventure with those guys!

[@AndrooJeanPierre]

I'd love to go trail running in the snow. Unfortunately, it almost never snows where I live (South-West of France)

[@zdmmccorkell202]

Yeah, merry Christmas, it’s a Christmas holiday 👍🏼

[@anarosales1428]

Nice!! (: Definitely skiing content

[@56932982]

The Azores are fantastic. For those that can't wait for the Azores I recommend watching the Azores video from the channel "Anton somewhere".

[@JeffPelletier]

His film (and channel) is great!

[@ryanmartin1596]

I miss living on Terceira

[@marjolainefrancoeur9756]

Oui, des vidéos sur le ski hors piste serait interessant. À ce sujet, je me demandais s’il faut avoir une base en ski alpin? Je suis plutôt ski de fond 😊

[@SubtleForces]

Thanks for the preview. Can't wait for the final video. They have 4 seasons in a day like Montreal? I think we can beat them on snowfall height ;-) Pun aside, seeing you run through he snow, I scrapped a run in a park (after sunset) to run on a bike path since the uneven, partly trampled, partly fresh and partly icy path seemed impossible to run (to me) when I could barely see the uneven ground in pretty contrastless light. How do you handled that sort of snowy run? Did you already do a video about that? Fresh is easy and compacted too, icy always tricky but possible, but this odd mix was beyond me to handle.

[@IdRatherBeHiking]

I guess they call that race EPIC for a reason, mother nature isn't messing around.

[@nicolasmachado447]

Thx for sharing. Any advice to run while it’s snowy?

[@JeffPelletier]

I’ve got an older video on my channel about gear for winter running, but I’ll have to work on an update: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJjZhmybYtZlmNk

I was so confused. I don't remember the Azores so blizzardy.

Were you perhaps there in the summer?

[@prathibharanganna2480]

Any idea how the weather is around mid March?

jeff I love your channel plus some videos I can't put subtitles I'm from Brazil my English is bad can you tell me if this is from youtube? thanks

Hey there, I have subtitles for most of my videos but not all of them. This video definitely does have captions though - are they not working for you?

[@afitcouchpotato4014]

SKIS PLEASE

[@TravelsWithTony]

Hey Jeff, great sneak peak. The Azores are amazing. We spent 16 days there back in July 2020. Sete Cidades is a great rim hike with views and the thermal tidal pool just south of it are wonderful. We spent half the trip in the northeast corner. Great AirBNB with a lovely host family. Pineapple jam ! We brought back several jars. A lot of folks don’t realize that it’s only 4 1/2 hours from Boston!! I did my first ever drone flying there and the cliffs are breathtaking! kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2aQnaaEdp2eqq8

[@leocadiarocha8083]

Just letting you know, as an Azorean living in USA, I stopped watching the video after I heard you saying “going back to main island “. There’s no such thing as main island. There’s 9 islands and all of them are different with they’re own beauty and traditions. I don’t know where you got the idea from, but let me say that just because a island may have different size and shape doesn’t make it “main” of anything….that’s all…

[@JeffPelletier]

I’m sorry I offended you. São Miguel is the largest island of course, with the largest population, and the most trails when it comes to hiking/running. It’s the only one with direct flights from Canada which made it the main island for my visit. It seems to be the one that everyone suggests spending the most time on in the guidebooks, and all of my Portuguese friends definitely spoke about it in these terms as well. I realize that I should have simply used the word ‘big’ island though like they do in Hawaii. I’ll be sure to do so in my future documentary, so this feedback was helpful. Thank you!

[@d.williamvitt3869]

Perfect video! I had just finished all the iFit Content about the Azores which left me wanting more. I recently added an Elliptical to my Rowing where I started watching your Content. You Channel is wonderful and I bet you could also string your B-Roll together for longer adventures to be accessed through Patreon creating an “iFit” addition to your offerings.
