Backcountry Snowboarding In Chile

With 3 feet of fresh we linked up with our friends at Dos Tiempos, grabbed some sleds and headed out into the backcountry for 3 days of insane riding. I highly recommend checking out Chile for some riding in the southern hemisphere. Great mountains, resort riding, sidecountry + backcountry, fun parks and some of the best people to shred with.
I was riding a 159 K2 Antidote in this video. One of my favorite boards I use for all around riding.

I absolutely love your choice not to add music and keep the raw sounds of the snow. Absolute Banger! As always thanks to K2 ~ lets go 23/24!!!

[@SageKotsenburg]

Appreciate it! Love music to snowboarding but it has to be a full edit with a vibe and everything, love hearing the sound of shredding

[@beepbopbeepbop0]

@@SageKotsenburgthank you so much for not adding music to these videos! I literally watch your videos and listen to the sound of the snow to alleviate my anxiety🥹🥹

Chile is sick! I remember when you went to Corralco in 2019

[@SageKotsenburg]

Corralco is unreal! We will be back down in southern chile mtns next season for sure

[@inmotion_snow]

@@SageKotsenburg was there too in 2019 at the same time! got to hike up the lonquimay volcano and do a sunset shred, still the most unreal day to date

[@theodorouandreas1]

Hey Sage! Sick video!! If you don’t mind sharing, what settings were you using for this one in order to get that super crisp image and colors? Thanks in advance!

[@SageKotsenburg]

Yep! A lot of these are in 2.7k 60 with flat or natural color and that’s when you can really hit post and get some good colors. Sharpness low, forget what iso but def low as well

[@MrBlueberry1337]

Insane footage! What size of the Antidote do you ride in these conditions?

[@SageKotsenburg]

Thanks! I ride a 159, i’m 5’ 10 and 175lbs

@@SageKotsenburg Appreciate the reply🙏 Seems like we share similar body comp, so I'm stoked about picking up an Antidote this season

[@rap3099]

Great video. Can you please tell me what is the gopro setup at 4:24? Thanks again for the great vid!

CAMERAMAN , THANK YOU

[@maxsesselmann8136]

what an edit 😍 really gets the stoke going for the coming season! One question: how did you manage to record that raw snow sound without the wind noise? creates a really chill vibe 👌

[@SageKotsenburg]

Thanks for watchin! Honestly think these were just the new GoPros we didn’t have a wind buff or mic on these!

[@maxsesselmann8136]

Wow, that's pretty amazing! thanks for the quick reply

[@itsdezzire5461]

holy crap dude

[@PogoP666]

whens the best time or range to go? i know South America has reverse seasons to North but eager to visit just dont know exactly when ?

[@SageKotsenburg]

August is a great time for Chile! Tres which has Valle Nevado, La Parva and El Colorado are the easiest to get to but then you can go south to Chillan, Corralco y more. All so so epic and close to the coast for waves 🏄‍♂️

[@JosephsSnowboardChannel]

this is dope 🔥

[@abitsi77]

Incredible video without music listening to the pure sounds of powder. @4:00 he is lucky he has all the boards in the world available cause most of us would be crying after hitting such a rock with speed.

[@SageKotsenburg]

Sounds of powder are amazing! Haha that rock got me good, luckily edge didn’t blow put i got some p tex on there and it’s still in my garage ready to rip!

[@WaterdropGirl]

Those rocks at the start looked freaking treacherous in non-nimble boots lol, but the ride looked sick I hope it was as stellar as it looks!

[@SageKotsenburg]

Ended up in such a funny spot in those rocks! Ended up in a little wind slab pocket so line wasn’t too good i backed off riding the face. Chile is rad though! Such fun ripping

[@jameskonikow3968]

Sick edit Curnal Kotsenburg! Makes me want to get back on my board. 🤙

[@funnerprojects]

Absolutely epic! 🤘 I remember ripping it up with Cristian - always a blast. Had the pleasure of visiting Dos Tiempos a while back, and it's genuinely one of the most epic spots to shred. By the way, how are you finding the K2 Antidote for the deep powder there? Heard it is really an epic pow stick. Keep the stoke alive and shred on! 🏂🌨

[@SageKotsenburg]

Yess Dos Tiempos is so rad! Loving the Antidote, really fits how i ride a board whether it’s charging big pow cliffs or buttering around
