Wholeheartedly agree. Nikolai’s production quality makes GoPro/Red Bull/Teton gravity look like amateur hour

[@unknowablerootvegetable]

A very underrated aspect of these videos is the sound design. The music choices, mic's, environmental sound etc... are all absolutely perfect

[@Bluepig138]

Your videos are a breathe of fresh air Nikolai. Here's a pre-congratulation for the 1,000,000 subs coming your way soon and the impact that ad revenue can have. Thanks man

best skiing youtuber no question, such a good role model and inspiration.

I don't understand how I ended up on your channel a few weeks back and why you have only 50k. subscribers as of now. The content is genuine, funny, with amazing views and great production.

Watching these is making me miss the slopes more and more every day, I cant wait to get back out there once all this is over with, I love what you're doing man, content is unreal and your skill and balls are unmatched. Thanks for these videos Nikolai.

[@baileyevans121]

This channel deserves more love. It has better content than the big boys out there and blows me away with every video.

[@AndreiKucharavy]

4:45-6:30 - Thanks for the good example and explaining what you were doing as well as why you were doing - both here and in the past rides! Also, the video is awesome and the couloir is absolutely mind-boggling (not sure how it got the "Difficult" and not "Extreme" or even "Severe" rating) - thanks!

[@SkonrokkenTV]

Props to drone pilot too, nice footage! Props too to the filmmaker who went up with him, the editing team for making such slick footage, etc! Know that Nikolai also is a pilot of course. Amazing what you can do with a few gopros, a mavic 2 pro, and a mirrorless camera...and a lot of cojones!

The production quality is out of this world, seriously underrated channel!

[@ghpjerry]

You do in a day most don't do in a lifetime...That is living life to it's fullest. As a 40 sumthing lifelong skier, competitive mogul skier & ski instructor, I have ridden some of the steepest "resort" lines in N. America & not 1, aside from maybe Corbet's, compare to what you climb and ride. You deserve every successful turn & I hope thousands more. Respects!

[@EyesofZoey]

The only thing I have to complain about.... I need more content 😂 already watched everything and cant get enough. You and your buddys doing amazing. Enjoying every second of these awesome productions.

[@Nikolai_Schirmer]

haha thanks! More to come!

[@keithstone7930]

Always heart stopping stuff guys, the landscape, the skiing, the cinematography, the music, as several people say this has to be one of the most underrated channels on KZbin. Thanks for keeping our dreams alive during COVID .

[@cayden-]

i hate seeing the ironic comments about liking before watching videos but you're literally the only channel i do this with bc you manage to always deliver crazy quality

[@jeanmichel4746]

I was so hyped when I saw that you uploaded a new video! And you didn't dissapoint me! I was probably as nervous as you were just watching the video, keepup the good stuff!

[@jacobmchenry3431]

Joonas did not make his mamma proud with that language 😂😂😂

[@cryx4]

this is one of the first ski tour vids where you've really captured how absolutely TERRIFYING this terrain is. the scale, steepness and relief of reaching the bottom is incredible.

[@RandomActsOfMusic1]

I love your channel very much. Your cinematography and the lines you take are awesome. Lots of respect from the mountains in British Columbia, Canada.

[@abseitsfilm]

This is a stellar performance! The skiing, filming, editing and score, all is so good.

[@SCDC-Channel]

[@SavvasHiker]

Just excellent video in every aspect! Photography, narration, etc. BTW, I do not know but, this video reminded me the "The Heroes of Telemark" 1965 movie, having also to do with Norway.

[@mibk2238]

Hi Nikolai! First of all I have to say that you're doing great stuff in the mountains and those are badass videos. I'm a skier from the austrian alps and I really admire your skiing and skitouring. The message you deliver trying to save our winters and environment is super cool and you trying to reduce your ecological footprint is inspiring. But I'm a whitewater kayaker also and from that perspective I know a lot about river protection and the harm hydroplants do to our environment. Those dams kill everything you're trying to save as do fossil powerplants. Just in a different way. There's lots of information about it if you're interested. Maybe you wanna take a look. It's heartbreaking when you kayak a river and see all the untouched nature from the middel of it and the next year it's shut down by a powerplant and all the animals are gone... So please don't get this in a negative way. I don't intend to citicize you. In fact I think you are a really cool guy and great skier but hydropower is NOT green energy. People like you just with another sports backgound fight for our rivers and against hydropower with all their heart. Just like you fight for our winters. Thank you! riverwatch.eu/en/general/videos/blue-heart

[@Nikolai_Schirmer]

Heyhey, I hear you. I know dams can be really bad, and we have lots of debate about what kind of green energy sources we should develop here in Norway. Wind is meeting massive resistance for the habitat loss it causes, and solar is not really an option this far north. The EU has issued guidelines for how you can do hydro in a way that doesn’t harm the rivers too bad. Basically you can divert a section of the river for energy and still leave most of it intact. Put in «stairs» for the fish, and a few other measures. But yeah. Not perfect. I agree. 100%. We shouldn’t build more, but rather focus on getting the most out of everything that’s already there, and work to make that less harmful.

[@Tantech10]

Thank you taking us into your adventures. Fabulous content as always

[@hayatomasuo6111]

This makes me wanna ski really bad!! so much fun to watch and the video quality is 10/10

[@nathan_aus]

The first four seconds was good enough for a like from me. Another great video. I have no idea if there are drones out there that have dual cameras (for 3D content) but some of those scenes in 3D would be a whole another level of amazing - not to take away how good it looks in 2D.

[@peterhyperman]

The scenery is insane.

[@martinboyer4395]
