Man Severin was lucky. I had a fall involving a similar amount of tomahawking, or so I've been told. Unfortunately mine ended up having to be airlifted off the mountain to a local hospital and then helicoptered again to a bigger hospital. I was out cold for both helicopter trips, and the following 2 weeks. When I woke up from my mandatory nap I'd lost most of my memories, and had to re-learn a lot of coordination - I couldn't even walk down stairs without looking like a giant toddler for about 3-4 months. I'm mostly alright now, but I am definitely more stupid and less coordinated than I used to be. A lot of memories never returned, but you don't know what you don't know, so that's not so bad I guess. I was in the backcountry as well, and the terrain was very steep, but wasn't nearly as steep as here, so all I'm saying is that your brother was super super lucky! I'm glad, because when I saw him tomahawking my stomach did a flip! Keep safe guys.

thats scary as hell glad youre still here & still you 🙏

[@Ryaninja]

@@vinny5638 Thanks Vinny, real nice of you to say. :) Unfortunately, whilst I am ok for the most part, I'm not really me any more, or at least not the version I was before the accident. This is why I believe Severin was super super lucky. I can still ski and snowboard, although I lost some ability a lot of muscle memory was retained, although I don't think I'll ever be able to run down stairs as quickly as I used to - I just can't make my legs move fast enough. I also lost a lot of fine motor control, so I don't enjoy gaming as much anymore because I struggle with the fine co-ordination as well as keeping track of many things at once. This is just the tip of it, there actually aren't many things I enjoy as much anymore and I struggle with depression a lot. I don't form many daily memories any more, and probably 80% of the time someone says to me "Hey man, remember when we..." I don't remember it at all. Thankfully it wasn't as bad as it could have been, the doctors said if I weren't wearing a MIPS helmet, I might not have woken up at all. Despite it being a top of the range helmet and it had no marks on it, my brain was bleeding and pressure had to be released. In the end I had a less serious version of Michael Schumacher injury (TBI), so it definitely could have been much much worse! Anyway, enough of me being depressing, that is just why I believe how lucky he was, because I know first hand how much worse it could have been!

@@Ryaninja Thank you for the information of everything. and I chucked at Michael Schumacher injury haha.

[@ikseras8500]

Hello, that is very scary and sad to be honest, but im very glad that you still woke up and your still here with us. I really appreciate you sharing this story because it shows how strong you are, if you could maybe tell us some more things, i really enjoyed reading this. I love you and i hope you get better and better overtime.

[@Ash3sArt]

Jeez man.. That’s tough; I’m glad that your mostly alright. I hope that you fully recover and your coordination improves. Goodluck!

That was a MIRACLE he wasn’t severely injured in that drop! Thank God !!

[@RandomActsOfMusic1]

Even though your brother took that bale I think it was pretty impressive that he hit that shit with that kind of charge. Mad respect, and all of you got a good run or two in and got to go home safe so really that was a wonderful day. Plus the snow looks like wonderful conditions. Waiting for the snow to fall here in BC, so far we are having way to warm and dry of a season. Hopefully we get some good snow soon! Thank you for the inspiration and general quality of your videos, truly art pieces. Cheers, Some unimportant guy from Canada. Ps. if you ever are in BC and want a boat ride up the coast and someone to hold a camera, I would be so keen.

What a cheeky little edit with the Lyngen Alps sign you really go above and beyond on these videos and it shows. Another 10/10 video awesome lines and your brother killed it despite the tumble.

[@Noarka]

As they say All’s well that ends well… certainly made for a good story! A good reminder of how challenging the lines featured here are - Nikolai and his crew usually just makes things look easy!

So much work and effort into each episode. I love it.

Looked like Jacob almost went off the back of the mountain on that second run

[@ttanke]

I was thinking the same lol my heart stopped for a sec I was like that's just going into the void hahah

For real man he was Ballsy with that drop in but the go pro also shows a very exaggerated POV so it may not have been as close as we see in the video.

What a different way to live your life. I can't imagine the adrenaline felt by these people, and rather envious of it. It just looks scary exciting, and at the end the run, the feeling must be monumental. I mean, you realize few people can actually do what you just did, and that in itself is exhilarating. This was a fun video to watch, and well edited. Thanks.

[@applegatearts]

That was an awesome video!! Thanks very much. I am always amazed at how people like you ski down mountains like that. I used to climb a lot and the fear of falling on mountains could be very consuming. Especially going down. And you ski down!!!! Be careful about going on the news and talking about avalanches. I was going to be a Himalayan climber and took an avalanche course and became an expert. I knew the avalanche conditions were too high on a planned trip to Mt Rainier so we went to the Columbia ice fields in Canada instead where we got caught in an avalanche and I broke my knee into 15 pieces. It gives me the chills to watch you amazing people.

[@stephenclark15]

Nikolai, you know not to base your entire decision from one snowpit. Obviously you're a pro and you know what you're doing. I think it's important that people understand that a snowpit that shows stability in that one area, does not mean you are going to find the same results higher in elevation or different aspect

[@Nikolai_Schirmer]

Yes, you’re right of course. Good observation. That pit just confirmed our understanding of the snowpack as a whole based on our ovservations weeks prior. And yes, we continuously checked the snow as we climbed higher. As we always do

[@stephenclark15]

@@Nikolai_Schirmer Yes of course. I have learned a lot from your videos, and I know other people have as well! Glad your brother is okay. Great video as always 🙏

[@niceride]

I'm happy to see the line selection being skied on this footage - it indicates someone who considers the risk assessment of what they are doing. I don't see too much of that situational awareness anymore living in Reno/Tahoe... makes me miss living in Jackson WY everyone paid attention to and respected the snowpack then.
