[@abekislevitz]

Thanks to Lucas Catania for the inspiration to put this together! And thanks for sharing that late December day with me 👌🏻🤙🏻

[@LucasCatania17]

Here’s to more pow days!

[@Gmonayy189]

Love everything y’all do and the different ways you bring inspiration to others! Stoke squad and Abe unite! Shoutout the Lake Louise video that introduced me!

[@wilmoore5259]

Have you already made a video of what ski gear you use?

[@mr2fyre]

Stoke squad represent.

[@LucasCatania17]

Okay well this whole thing is beautiful! The storytelling is unmatched, the skiing is absolutely ripping and the POV and color is about as perfect as it gets! But that hit through the trees at Baldface was actually next level. Watched on the TV with my sister. Didn’t want it to end! 🙌🏽

[@abekislevitz]

haha yeah that one lined up very nicely! Definitely had a few blind sections where my face was fully white-roomed for a bit! Thanks for watching !

Yooo the legend is here

[@enrol2619]

you and Abe are the only skiers i watch on the tube. good to see you in his comments haha

[@unpickable777]

I'm Japanese, and I'm so happy that your Top 5 skis run includes 2 runs in Japan! Can't wait to go skiing this season!

[@Masa-n2z2w]

今シーズンも楽しんでますか？

[@VictorKaliadin]

I was going to go to Japan for a ski trip but then I saw that the resorts were tiny and Canada was so much better for size but it was farther to get to tho

[@unpickable777]

@@VictorKaliadin Shiga-Kogen ski resort in nagano, japan is such a great and big resort tho. its the biggest in japan. snow conditions and quality is brilliant. powder snow is similar to hakuba in this vid!

[@VictorKaliadin]

@@unpickable777 yeah it’s like 600 hectares and big white in BC is like 1150 and Revelstoke with 1263 I’ll stick with Canada thanks ☺️

[@flowerspires]

me looking at this and asking my japenese mom what wth they are saying

[@Infinite.Light.]

wow the views on that third run were breath taking, we live in the most beautiful creation

[@zman7689]

I can't help but get incredibly jealous every time I watch videos like this. #5 looks like a clip out of my dreams - what a great bluebird POW day.

[@abekislevitz]

One thing that has made even the most mediocre ski days really fun is to pick a zone and challenge yourself to pick out a line top to bottom. Ski that a few times and try to link it all together, ski it faster, send it bigger, or challenge yourself in other ways. Skiing is an epic sport where it's just you vs. you or you vs. the mountain and no one else really matters. Remember that :)

[@BenEllefson]

Absolutely cruising between some narrow tree gaps in there! Amazing footy per usual

[@deedsbeforedeath]

[@AndreasMichalopoulos13]

I love this Μammoth Mountain!! you motivated us hard !! may we all have a perfect Snow season! Greetings from Greece!

[@ronwilson5210]

Lucas Catania brought me. The yellow Montec & fat Armadas are bomb! Great footage! The pow in Japan is unbelievable. Tight glades, and face shots in BC & Hakuba! Sweet!

[@abekislevitz]

Thanks Ron! Thanks for watching !

[@LucasCatania17]

What up Ron!

[@rayrayjj]

Thanks Abe! To me what you and Lucas are doing is the pinnacle of action sports entertainment. You guys take me where I can't go.

[@abekislevitz]

Thanks for the kind words ray ! Appreciate it 🙏🏻

[@Spotzisfun]

Last time I went skiing I watched this guy’s videos non stop that was about a year ago, Here I am doing it again December snow season is gonna be rad!

[@shangerdanger]

sheeesh those trees are narrow

[@JackarooVR]

Why are you here 😂 huge fan lol

[@leviwarr4490]

Dude saw this on Lucas’s story and had to watch! Such a sick video with all the face shots!! I’ve got to take a ski trip to Japan someday! Now I have to go rewatch Lucas’s top 5 runs!

[@D3C]

Heading to Japan next month for my second ski trip! Excited is an understatement, and this time I’m driving from Tokyo to Hokkaido hitting a few resorts north on the mainland. Really wanting to pick up the max to document my own tree lines, but wish there was a Max 2 as the 12+ wide lens looks super nice, especially for social shots! Get to Japan!!

[@joeyjamison5772]

My skiing career ended 10 years ago this past week. What skis do you use? I never got on the 'shaped bandwagon', only renting some a few times. I had (and still have) a pair of Dynastar-195 'straights' which I used for 19 years and were great. I'll be 75 in a few days and really miss the slopes around this time of year!

[@leewinter28]

Well this is just absolutely sick! Mammoth is our home mountain and I know exactly what kind of snow we got during this time. It was measured in daily feet not inches this season. Amazing videography, just the flow alone makes me want to ski right now. Been following Lucas since the start and he always impresses with his dedication each season.

[@alberthbyang]

such EPIC runs brutha!! that last one in Japan omg, love hearing you shouting sounds of joy :D would love to experience that one day!

[@KingSolrac]

Awesome as always!

[@kastormeyer9889]

These views are why I absolutely adore skiing

[@McLaren961-]

I'm pretty jealous, because skiing is my favorite sport, but i only do it for about 2 weeks a year. Seeing you rip these amazing trails reminds me of my love for this sport, and the mountains in general. Where i live, its far from any snow or mountains, but i still enjoy this sport so much. Thanks for the awesome video.

[@1dhewitt]

Sitting at home in Alberta right now wondering if we'll even get snow this year. This makes me so jealous. So easy to tell how much fun you are having here and that makes me happy.

[@Swiss2025]

Blame the Alberta government with fossil fuels ..

[@1dhewitt]

@@Swiss2025 Dude just please educate yourself. I got a little dumber reading that comment.

[@ales1691]

Soooo jealous, congrats for those runs and shots!!

[@Daffy3d]

I haven’t skied for the past 1 and half years and this video just really reminds me of home thank you

[@abekislevitz]

Awesome to hear ! Thanks for sharing. Hope you get out sometime soon! Otherwise I’ll do my best to keep making vids !

[@TheBagOTricks]

So sick Abe! Japan looks like an absolute dream. Jealous is an understatement!

[@JonDraper]

You ought to do a color grading tutorial. You've done so much incredible content - but every time I watch your videos, the way your colors look are phenomenal every time. Always on point.

[@mattsmoments7204]

These are some of the best POV runs I've seen. Those tree runs are to die for! Please, please, please give me some hints how to find that zone in Hakuba! 🙏

[@OFFTHEJAMO]

Video like these get me so excited to get back on the mountain. Awesome video!

Yeah Abe!!! That has been ridiculously good quality in every aspect! I was wondering how you get that crisp skiing and voice sound without any wind noise? Do you use external mics? Greez from Austria! ;)

I missed your videos. I have a gopro 12 and I'm still learning how to use it, so your videos give me inspiration. 🤩☺

[@jovanferdinands1927]

Great skiing. I was wondering what GoPro you have and what settings you use the quality is amazing

[@ardini3089]

Hello Abe! Can you do a video how to reframe a skiing video and the settings of colors?

[@gregorgraschitz]

wow what awesome runs!

[@TeethFallingLaugh]

Great video! I really appreciated your creativity.

Love your content! What brand of winter gear do you wear while skiing?

[@ccpmarch1980]

Soo sick Abe! Looking forward to some LC collaboration this season. You guys make an awesome team. Yeww from the stoke squad 🤙🤙

Where abouts in Hakuba, is it Happo one, my friend and I had the exact same experience skiing through the trees it was the best run I've ever done.

Coming from Massachusetts, this is unreal man!!

[@peterchau19]

It's a good day when Abe uploads again

[@maximeprades6759]

Hello, I bought a GoPro Max but I can't get as beautiful images as you... Do you have any specific settings? By the way, great videos

[@hoopaholicstickum]

Some nice timber-bashing!

[@dbsranchr]

Amazing!! Hope to see some HDR footage soon!!

[@HarryRead]

I'm stunned, it was perfect, that last run was just incredible. The way as humans when we experience joy in it's purest form we can't help ourselves from giggling like children or howling like wolves. There is no other thought in your mind other than "Holy shit" Thank you for sharing

[@abekislevitz]

Thanks for the kind words harry!

[@djjake5798]

Unreal. Was camera mounted chest or helmet for POV shots?

[@Knelson123]

That #1 run was something else

Great video! Where is your ski-outfit from (the yellow-black)?

[@abekislevitz]

Montec

[@Vivianfamilynz]

Great video! What skis are you on?

[@lauriL90]

Nice quality. you use nd filters on gopro and 2x fps shutter speed for motion?

[@abekislevitz]

Nah, that’s a recipe for bad hypersmooth. Most of this was shot with max which you can’t use ND filters so I’ve used post blur plug-in! RSMB

[@lauriL90]

@@abekislevitz thanks, your videos are absolutely top quality in youtube, il watch and learn.

[@athwalvldeos]

Beautiful

[@froznfire9531]

Great video, short question how do you like the montec pants and which model is the one you are wearing for Run 3 at 4:58 ?

[@abekislevitz]

Those are the old fenix 3L pants. They don’t sell them new anymore but have some renewed. Super lightweight, honestly the best they’ve made. Just ordered another pair on the renewed site.

[@AndrewSacchini]

These runs look incredible, super clean!! Did you put a vignette blur on the video or is it just straight from the camera? Thanks!

[@shredwithrobert]

Nice shots 🔥

[@brandonchiu9617]

By any chance can you share the go pro settings you have on. I have a Hero 12 and i know yours is the ProMax and it will be slightly different, but it will help me get a general idea.

[@abekislevitz]

Yeah! This was all shot with 5k30, flat color, WB auto, iso min 100 iso max 800, sharpness low. When I shoot h12 I shoot in natural color and keep iso max at 1600. 👍🏻

[@tractor4313]

Hey Abe. Love the videos. In number 3 are you filming with MAX ?

[@abekislevitz]

Yep, all the POVs are shot on max!

Right on thanks Liam! Nah shot on max ! No ND filters.

amazing video Abe! These are the best locations in the world) How are the Farro brothers ? Do you communicate with them?

Yes! Caleb was in Japan with us on that last run! And we just booked another trip last night :)

Going Hakuba soon, where can I find that last run?

[@SeymoursHuntingDownUnder]

Awesome video. What setting is the gopro on?

[@sanalgerceklikdoktoru]

What were settings for pov shots? ND filters? Shutter speeds? Would like to know, trying to understand nd filter - snow - shutter speed relation in cases.

[@loukevin233]

Great video

Hry man just wondering if you use max lens 2.0 and what gopro are you using?

[@abekislevitz]

Check description ! All the pov in this was shot with max

[@tussbus]

i am new to skiing and now i want to get a gopro because this looks to cool

[@spekatino3229]

how do you mount the go pro on your helmet, like where on the helmet and how do you point it?

[@lonnychen5027]

May I know where is the number 1 run in Hakuba?

[@mume.]

amazing. can you give us your go pro max settings?

[@abekislevitz]

Yeah! No prob! I shoot everything pretty much in 5K30, sharpness low, ev comp -0.5, flat color, WB auto, iso min 100 max 800. For pov I use the hemisphere priority for exposure, And in GoPro player I uncheck horizon lock and world lock for the pov so you don’t need any key frames. For run number 2 and 1 in this video I accidentally shot in 3K60 in max so the quality was not up to my standards but that’s okay :)

[@0xCUBE]

damn how do you make your gopro max footage look so sharp??? It usually is a little bit grainy from the reframing

[@abekislevitz]

good post practices! I use noise reduction and sharpening in davinci resolve which helps clean stuff up a lot !

[@0xCUBE]

@@abekislevitz do you have a video of how you do this and what settings you use for skiing?
