Here I am studying at midnight and boom... rise and alpine uploads... time to close the books and have some fun! Would you say that over the last years the snow fall has gone down out in BC? I am really scared about the future of skiing. I hope we still have long seasons with plenty of snow. But it seems like that may be fading away.
@riseandalpineКүн бұрын
I honestly haven't been alive long enough and focused on skiing and snow to give you a decent answer. I think a reduction in snow is inevitable with climate change. I can see the glaciers disappearing every year. I bet we've got many good years, but the long term future of skiing for my grandkids will be bleak, especially at lower elevation resorts.

Weak western infrastructure LOL. -22 at the base was like -30 up top before windchill. Pretty moist compared to other places cold weather. Chairlift cables ice up and Pipe's all blew in the chalet and gondola. Also probably unsafe for lifties at -40 after windchill. But mainly, western resorts are weaker than the East.

youtube is his lifestyle, in the summer he worked as a Garbage man part time tho. ikon and epic pass is a great way to ski wherever you want all season long for a lot less. he gets sent gear to wear because it helps sponsor the brands when they see him wear it in his vids.
@riseandalpineКүн бұрын
I don't own a jeep (friends cars). I drive a truck. I worked full-time as a salesman before taking the channel full-time in winter last year. The channel makes me enough money to get through winter but I work in the summer as a garbage man. I've bought my gear over the years because I'm a skier and now I have lots of sponsored and discounted gear because of the KZbin channel. I have an Epic pass and because of the channel mountains hook me up with lift tickets if I ski there. Running a KZbin channel is harder than any corporate job I ever worked. When the camera's aren't rolling I'm pulling 14 hour work days. Life is amazing though. It's not rich parents, it's hard work and making your lifestyle work around skiing. If skiing is your first priority in life you can easily pull 50+ day seasons all while working a full-time job.

@@riseandalpine guess I missed the part where you ate it. kinda strange to try and cook a whole fish on a pan tho. heres how to filet one. Start at the backbone above the pectoral fin. Press your knife down until you can feel the spine, then make a downward cut that extends behind the pectoral fin and ends at the belly. Don't cut too deeply, since you want to avoid damaging the organs. Gently lift the meat to make sure it is detached from the head area.
