Mount Sneffels // Skiing Snake Couloir on my New Favorite Colorado 14er

[@beneyssen]

My favorite day of the week is whenever Mediocre posts a video

[@tomylee]

I am with you man

[@ryanmccandlass2995]

“defenitley a no fall zone” -danny on the edge of a snowy abyss

[@vashusan1984]

I felt that. Ones I don't tell the wife about, much less take video of ;-)

[@desviz]

@@vashusan1984 WORD.

[@zulu6ix290]

Great vid

[@TheVirtualsherpa]

Classic Line - always great to see you guys in CO. Great vid as always!

[@MurrayPeeps]

I need a VS/MA collab ASAP!

[@asksteevs]

I LOL'd at "Let's get Chris down, and, em, get his mouth wrapped around a burrito." Too fun, as usual!

[@andrewbarr3378]

This better be good - you’ve been keeping me waiting long enough!

[@MurrayPeeps]

Been patiently waiting for a new episode and it’s in my neck of the woods!

[@christopherarocha92]

I’m ready for the mountain runs again 🙌🏽

[@marcms25]

It would be cool to see some vids of you guys mountain biking!

[@July4.1776]

Most inspirational KZbin channel ever!

[@gardner8388]

Scott Schmidt instructional videos, License to Thrill, epic. Well played!!!

[@jeffarcher69]

love this channel. And now, I can't stop saying 'Mountin'. thank you, Danny.

[@forestdweller512]

Awesome shots as usual 💯. Especially the drone over the gullie

[@capsalltheway32]

This is the best birthday present! Love this area and I'm totally stoked for this video!

[@CBOU1993]

Happy birthday Tom!

[@randilq]

Only Christof can pull off those sunglasses!

[@cnuila]

👊

[@justinbayola]

My favorite mountain in all the land. Thanks for doing this guys!

[@XcessCapital]

That's my daily view! Probably was looking up there as you guys climbed.

[@jeffreyallen1290]

I did that mountain from the other side, Yankee boy basin, many-many years ago. When I looked down the north face from the top I so wanted to climb the couloir. Never did make it back. Thanks for taking us along on the trip.

[@deanpesci2880]

THAT was SICK! Awesome descent on that steep stuff.....Wow!

[@TimothyM]

The music, the shots, the commentary. This is one of the best ones yet! Very well done Sneffels helped bring out the best in the both of you

[@jayfrei]

whaaaat, this came on auto-play and I was like, "these guys didn't do Sneffels yet"...but saw this was uploaded today!! Awesome - can't wait. I summited Sneffels a few years ago - loved it.

[@PaulBeiser]

Very impressive skiing, and PHENOMENAL video, ESP the drone footage - WAY COOL!

[@jeremysearle7634]

Thank you for continuing to put out awesome content. 👌

[@robertthallium6883]

Ayyyy South Slopes route. Gracious- you did that ascent after the saddle with snow in that steep gully. Now I need to do Sneffels again.

[@marissastevens5644]

Bad ass... I was so nervous watching you guys ski down!

[@michaelfitzgerald434]

Y'all are nuts! Thank you, Gentlemen, for another adventure!!

[@atlantasportflyingllc5541]

Great photography liked the survival skiing - been there!

[@christianthompson7155]

Christoph seems deliriously “into thin air” at 10:40 trying to make an escape! Lol. Be careful!

[@bradleydosch8884]

Ahh so excited you posted a new video! Lolll the name on this one is hilarious - those blue lakes are super special in the summer. Looking forward to more of your videos this summer.

[@MrCderwin]

Super jealous -- this is a line I've been eyeing for years, but now I'm on the other side of the country. Sneffels is one of my favorite peaks but the low snow in May is kind of crazy, I remember climbing Sneffels by its standard route in July 2019 with continuous snow from the trailhead. Btw, most people rap into the couloir from the summit block -- that downclimb looked pretty spicy.

[@stihlnz]

Great work, hard conditions, excellent drone footage ... well done.

[@tomylee]

Great seeing some stuff from you again

[@reed3312]

Greatest 14er in CO! Glad you guys had a good time

[@ChrisMillerLite]

Your vids keep getting better. Glad kristoff is still kicking ass

[@robertwynkoop7112]

You guys are f’ing nuts! Great to see a new one posted! Thanks!

[@austinpierson4010]

Why didn't you guys use crampons for the patchy snow spots in lower elevation? I would think that would be faster than taking ski's off and on again. Amazing vid though!

[@exceptionaladventures3939]

So awesome! That mountain is crazy cool. Nice job Snaking Sneffels.

[@pablomarani3799]

I missed your videos! Thanks for posting! At the moment, as I'm not native english speaker, I'm trying to figure out why the name Sneffels is so funny - that's my adventure, LOL!

[@isaiahwilliams3809]

Seeing a new video from you guys is the best

[@mcclungorders]

Great video! Just discovered this channel! So glad!

[@joefish6546]

I tried to eat my lunch at work today while watching this. First bite attempt was around the point you climbed into the couloir. A couple minutes later I realized I was still staring at the screen motionless with my fork hovering over my salad like a weirdo. Hope no one saw me...

[@tashunkawitko5984]

What a great project and perfect footage, boys!

[@nickmarchiando6358]

great job fellas!! love this channel. thanks for putting in the work and sharing your adventures!

[@yungsun6253]

“Skis on skis off skis on”😂😂 that blunt punchin back

[@IdRatherBeHiking]

The Legends are back.

[@localgemskier9410]

Love the videos! Watch your stuff all the time!

[@chasingtrailproductions3689]

You guys have some big balls!!!! In No Fall Zone.

[@victor.randolph]

The return of pucker factor! Also I felt guilty eating my second bowl of fruit loops while listening to Christ of Nutella talk about being out of shape.

[@andygustafson1]

Thank you for another great adventure!

[@xxshaochanxx]

You guys should do Little Bear-Blanca traverse in the summer!

[@summitbid]

I second this

[@edwardo123]

I third this. probably the gnarliest traverse in Colorado

[@eddieplayer7740]

i fourth this

[@ConquerYou]

You guys make everything look easy. Even though I’m postive this is incredibly dangerous and difficult.

[@paddlefaster]

Thanks for another episode. Always entertaining!

[@vashusan1984]

Really cool place. Planning my first 14er this summer, getting stoked for that 12,500 pain cave. LOL

[@fpoturu]

Great video, guys....! :)

[@NathanaelV]

your camera work is incredible

[@Blabheinn]

Greetings from the UK.....Its only my opinion for what its worth but when you booted up for the snake couloir, would it not have been a better option to get the axes out. If you had taken a tumble there you would not be able to arrest the fall down the couloir with ski poles. I really enjoy your video's if only we had mountains in the UK like you guys....... Keep the Vids rollin'😉

[@Nikali90]

I was waiting so long for another video!

[@nickdambrosia2304]

Those glasses Christof is wearing are so dope. Also is it Christof or Christoph? Or other? Haha

[@cnuila]

I’m not sure but I think it’s Christof. Like on The Truman Show.

[@bdjosephson]

Great video fellas

[@codiacstudios]

Thank you for being an inspiration for me

[@WhereKentWent]

Another awesome video guys. Looking forward to many more this summer!

[@TheSavacc]

Always excited to see a new Mediocre and it never disappoints !!! "Snaked the Sneffels"....quote of the week !!!!

[@ticklefritz5406]

Excellent work fellas! I wished you had better footage of that summit pitch, a drone perspective would have been special there. It appears that the mountain biking may have benefitted Christoph?

[@cnuila]

That’s what I’m claiming no matter what Danny says😂

[@traovix5515]

Woooooooooooo! Back with Colorado! Let's gooo!

[@theworldhiker1]

Always inspiring me for future adventures!

[@spicee1000]

Official Counter: Mediocre Amateur videos since Danny's last puke: 7! Great t see Christof back on a 14er. Maybe I need to start a second counter of the number of different headbands Christof wears in an interview: Number of Christof headbands: 3.

[@kjimbo5569]

10 miles! You guys were really taking it easy!

[@joshjones120]

You guys need to do Wetterhorn peak in Colorado. Such an awesome peak

[@EL-mn1pf]

Top shelf work chaps

[@tg9479]

you guys are crazy, love it

[@ormjo940]

Again, so awesome

[@kcalla56]

so sick. curious as to why not scout out the climb with the drone to see when an appropriate time to put on the skis is if you have it?

[@daveg8212]

Cristof's headband selection was definitely ON POINT!

[@cnuila]

🙌

[@wayphun72]

love your videos, great work!

[@mehemerson]

Loving the new soundtracks!

[@myoutdoorhaven8826]

Awesome; new video. Love u guys

[@RTaranto118]

Y’all made me so nervous of getting cliffed out on that descent when Christof went over that small cornice.

[@ronrash5895]

I usually give Christof crap about his fitness. Not this time! I know Mount Sneffels well. Great effort and your turns were great not rusty!!! The conditions at the top were dangerous. Definitely, no fall zone!!!

[@JordanGreenPNW]

It’s ok Christof my jump turns on 50 degree slopes are rusty too

[@comradebangalore]

Have you guys thought about doing Trapper Peak in Montana via the Gem Lake Couloir?

[@chronicstar]

Well done lads!

[@resonantdave]

this is amaaaaaazing!

[@bidenadministrationischina5091]

Oh yeah baby! Bring it on!

[@darren6110]

Best youtubers out there!!!

[@applesauce_0743]

Tried to climb Sneffels last October on a quick road trip passing thru Colorado. Got snowed on, and that shut down all of the roads up to it from Ouray, unfortunately, but I will be back!

[@stavrosTX]

Fantastic video, again! I'd love to know you method of research on these treks.

[@yungsun6253]

Have y’all ever considered summiting kilaminjaro? I’ve heard it’s one of the most beautiful hikes in the world

[@FullSenderson]

Been waiting for another one. Good stuff!

[@aerob1033]

I'm a simple man, I see a new Mediocre Amateur video, I click.

[@bikerdude923]

This is too good, we attempted this exact route on May 22, 2021 and couldn't even make it to Blaine basin the conditions were atrocious and we got thunderstormed on (rain at 10,500ft) and the hard freeze we were counting on to try and make any progress never came so we got skunked. We'll try again some other time though!!

[@steven_porlucas]

the legends are back, enough said

[@ThaneR0248]

I do not ski, but love to hike mountains. Are those pieces you peeled off the skis what allow you to go up hill?

[@at6686]

11’ up, 3’ down. Sounds about right for these guys. For people like me, it’s 20’ to 1’. As always, impressive.

[@spearfish]

I met Christof while hiking in Utah!

[@aaronwittmier7417]

Great video. Thanks guys.

[@OutdoorGold]

"these guys just want to ride mountain bikes" LOL yep, that happened to me! I can see Sneffels from my house!

[@rummie2693]

Is Christof rockin' Smith shades?

[@samanthagrandon7000]

Wow this was kind of nerve wracking (start of the descent wth) but sooooo good

[@Kraken_Meister]

Looks like a lot of fun; glad to see you guys still at it! Did you use a drone at 7:34? How'd you get that smooth shot?

[@stevenette4738]

Oh hey! I can see Sneffels from my front porch right meow! Trivia time: Mt. Sneffels was named after the volcano Snæfell in Iceland. That mountain and its glacier, Snæfellsjökull, which caps the crater like a convex lens, were featured in the Jules Verne novel A Journey to the Center of the Earth. An area on the western flank of Mount Sneffels gives the appearance of volcanic crater

[@rocknharmony]

Thank you for another great vid! BTW I can't find your Mt. Shasta vid, did you delete it? :-( Wish you guys the best & stay safe!
