Fulfilling a Lifelong Ski Fantasy

[@choisam20]

I think you mastered a KZbin vlog. And, I watch a lot of KZbin videos, many different kinds. Rob’s guest appearance was perfect too.

[@riseandalpine]

Thanks Sam! I decided to keep this one super natural so I could capture the vibe of the day. I always enjoy shaking up the videos and editing style to keep things fresh.

[@choisam20]

I’m viewing on my phone as always. I can tell you from my end that I thought all the camera settings (different mm(s)) in this video were perfect. And, I also thought that some of the shots were taken from a DSLR (like Sony or something) because it was so good.

[@GumpterCrayon]

that ending clip was mad satisfying even for someone that didn't hike for 7 hours

[@riseandalpine]

Best tasting beer EVER

Honestly one of my favourites too. My favourite part was Rob and I singing while eating pie... So ridiculous hahahaah

This looks like a dream. You've been killing it lately with each video.

It was a dream. Thanks so much!

Beautifully said!

[@AitchYXE]

Awesome video, dude. Such a good experience as a viewer. So many ski and snowboard videos out there, but few capture the actual experience like this did. Bravo.

So stoked that the emotion translated well through the video!

Damn walking that ridge was terrifying on video haha

[@riseandalpine]

The first part was a little dicey for sure! Lucky the snow was low enough that I could probe down and find ground.

[@josiahsimmons9866]

I really love that you didn't edit out the avalanche safety protocols you guys were doing. Oooo! and that clip from Rob's perspective of you just zooming down that slope... dang sexy lookin!

[@grumpyone5963]

Wow, thanks for sharing those awesome views without me having to break a sweat! Several areas in the Alps go over 3200metres, and that’s lifts up to that height. One or two around 3400 to the top lift. If you’re not feeling great you can feel a little light headed. Thanks again for another great video👍🇬🇧
