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

[@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

[@beneyssen]

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

[@tomylee]

I am with you man

[@asksteevs]

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

[@TheVirtualsherpa]

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

[@MurrayPeeps]

I need a VS/MA collab ASAP!

[@marcms25]

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

[@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 🙌🏽

[@jeffarcher69]

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

[@justinbayola]

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

[@gardner8388]

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

[@XcessCapital]

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

[@JordanGreenPNW]

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

[@July4.1776]

Most inspirational KZbin channel ever!

[@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.

[@randilq]

Only Christof can pull off those sunglasses!

[@cnuila]

👊

[@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!

[@capsalltheway32]

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

[@CBOU1993]

Happy birthday Tom!

[@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

[@deanpesci2880]

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

[@forestdweller512]

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

[@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.

[@ConquerYou]

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

[@michaelfitzgerald434]

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

[@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.

[@jeremysearle7634]

Thank you for continuing to put out awesome content. 👌

[@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

[@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.

[@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!!!

[@rummie2693]

Is Christof rockin' Smith shades?

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@stihlnz]

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

[@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.

[@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...

[@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😂

[@exceptionaladventures3939]

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

[@reed3312]

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

[@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?

[@nickmarchiando6358]

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

[@isaiahwilliams3809]

Seeing a new video from you guys is the best

[@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'😉

[@aerob1033]

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

[@ChrisMillerLite]

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

[@connergiven89]

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

[@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?

[@IdRatherBeHiking]

The Legends are back.

[@WhereKentWent]

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

[@ryanrainville1041]

Do you guys ever use verts for booting up that soft stuff?

[@tomylee]

Great seeing some stuff from you again

[@manfredseidler1531]

We, who are about to die, salute you. Hail Ceasar! Just wondering how many guardian angels you guys keep occupied at any given time?

[@tashunkawitko5984]

What a great project and perfect footage, boys!

[@vashusan1984]

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

[@marissastevens5644]

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

[@paddlefaster]

Thanks for another episode. Always entertaining!

[@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!

[@andygustafson1]

Thank you for another great adventure!

[@robertwynkoop7112]

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

[@theworldhiker1]

Always inspiring me for future adventures!

[@codiacstudios]

Thank you for being an inspiration for me

[@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!

[@kylewilkison1208]

What song is in the background as the begin the booter? That song is awesome

[@SoundMrBrown]

How do you like that shiny new pair of Black Crows?

[@at6686]

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

[@joshjones120]

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

[@kjimbo5569]

10 miles! You guys were really taking it easy!

[@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!!

[@yungsun6253]

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

[@mcclungorders]

Great video! Just discovered this channel! So glad!

[@hartdaniel224]

What's the metal contraption on Christof's backpack shoulder-strap?

[@yungsun6253]

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

[@localgemskier9410]

Love the videos! Watch your stuff all the time!

[@traovix5515]

Woooooooooooo! Back with Colorado! Let's gooo!

[@ChadLubinski]

Love it guys!!! Question: how do you do the recording of the route you’re taking on cal topo for the video??

[@cauthoncrazy]

Also curious! It would be cool to get more behind the scenes stuff.

[@PaulBeiser]

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

[@chasingtrailproductions3689]

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

[@daveg8212]

Cristof's headband selection was definitely ON POINT!

[@cnuila]

🙌

[@RTaranto118]

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

[@spearfish]

I met Christof while hiking in Utah!

[@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!

[@Nikali90]

I was waiting so long for another video!

[@stavrosTX]

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

[@OutdoorGold]

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

[@bdjosephson]

Great video fellas

[@fpoturu]

Great video, guys....! :)

[@NickGuyFski]

Have you all checked out Go Fast Campers for your trailhead slumbering needs?

[@gabrielmarias972]

nice video as usual!! what model off camera do you use? great quality! thx

[@bowlerballer6852]

You guys should check out Glacier Peak in Washington if you get the chance

[@aaronwittmier7417]

Great video. Thanks guys.

[@ryands9597]

Can another California 14er possibly be on the horizon (middle palisade/ Williamson??)

[@mehemerson]

Loving the new soundtracks!

[@TheSavacc]

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

[@gleneverett9728]

So just how many outfits packs and different colored helmets does Kristoff own??

[@sjldfilms5126]

Danny, are you not a fan of mountain biking or are you a snow lover?

[@eddiej7259]

he is just a "suffer fest" kind of guy and kind of looks down upon "frolicking an having fun" as if that's beneath him lol. Its truly amusing. And makes for great content!

[@tg9479]

you guys are crazy, love it
