Scared! At Whistler with Nick McNutt, and Craig Murray

Flat light made it pretty tricky to see and it had been a little while since Id been in the steeps, especially with firm snow and skiing around exposure. But Rolling into Whistler with Nick and Craig, we got right back into it! While I was repeatedly scared, it felt good to get into that place of uncomfortably and push through. The light was pretty bad all day, but we made the best of it and got into some really fun terrain and even found some powder stashed away in the nooks and cranny's of the mountain.

The best raw skiing on KZbin. Nothing compares to these videos

[@sagePerspective]

Thanks!👊👊

[@johndarby4503]

The Nathan Florence of snow!

[@aljacobs3922]

My favorite ski videos. So real. I liked how you show some falls in this series. Even you immortals occasionally fall. I can't imagine the skill it takes to ski these conditions and this terrain in flat light. Bravo!

[@sagePerspective]

Thanks! Appreciate the stoke. Skiing is so fun, and can be hard no matter who you are! Haha

[@classick466]

dude please never stop with content like this!!! great video, way to get tech bro😂

[@sagePerspective]

You bet!! Haha

[@jahkneeboi]

thanks for sharing! i love mcnutt man and your laugh is amazing! bet it brightens up anyone’s day.

[@sagePerspective]

Haha, thanks, and thanks for watching!!👊

[@shawneggers4484]

So glad to see you are human and actually fall sometimes lol. Glad you’re ok! Incredible tech

[@sagePerspective]

Thanks man, gotta keep it real! Was a classic combo, loss of control, confidence, and not reading terrain!

[@shawneggers4484]

@ the flat light didn’t help your cause either lol!

[@matthewrobb2853]

Hell ya! Commenting before I watch. Stoked to get into this one!!

[@sagePerspective]

Hope you enjoy!👊👊

[@matthewrobb2853]

@@sagePerspective Apparently I got distracted for 3 days. Just watched it now. Killer video dude!

[@JudePhilipp]

Another great one sage. You’re the best. I love whistler. I’ll probably see you some time.

[@sagePerspective]

Thanks! Much appreciated !

[@catskills7791]

Great video - Really impressive the way you guys work through those technical sections on firm snow! Never been to Whistler - looks amazing

[@sagePerspective]

Thanks. And Yeah that place is wild for sure! As I mentioned I hadn’t been there is a super long time and the place is both humbling and super fun.

[@marklambert8111]

Love these vids, keep it up 🔥

[@sagePerspective]

Thanks for the support, much appreciated!

[@CoryRea-x9e]

Sage you've got the absolute best skiing videos on the planet. It would be cool to hear what sticks people ride on. Just a thought haha. I was searching for what skis Apoll rides and thought of it. Was just curious what they ride in Utah powder I guess. Anyway, keep doing what you do man. You're a legend!

[@CoryRea-x9e]

Even McNutt in this vid. Ive been trying to figure out what he is riding. They look like my Reckoner 124s but it isn't Reckoner 124 snow conditions so I also don't think so 😂

[@sagePerspective]

Thanks! Yeah I usually don’t even know. Apoll rides faction, and he’s prob on something around a 115-120 width

[@sagePerspective]

McNut on the new Bentchetler 110s for 25/26 weazy on the 25/26 maverick 115 cti. I’m on the same just in the current 23/24 version. Same just different graphics

[@CoryRea-x9e]

@sagePerspective appreciate the reply man. I sincerely think that you have the best video concept that could exist for skiing. The follow behind videos are the absolute best. I may be bias because I absolutely love following people who are good skiers. It's fun to see their line selection and other little things they do that maybe I just hadn't thought of or whatever. The gear thing was something I kept catching myself wondering about so I thought I'd toss it out there. Also, if you can't get out to ride with a pro you should have a friend just follow you to put out more content. You're a dope skier too and I've gone through all of the ski vids. THE AUDIENCE WANTS MORE SAGE! 😂 Keep up the great work and if you're ever in WA let's take a lap man!

[@Lloydski]

I just got back from Colorado and the flat and hard pack was SO bad I don't know how and the hell he rails thru that with such ease in the steeps... I felt every hit people just don't know what its like until they been there its mind blowing and just amazing talent in that kind of light and conditions ripping it like that.. Definitely a hot tub day after that one huh...

[@sagePerspective]

I’m with ya!

[@KennethDuda]

McNutt's skiing is next level. Super impressive that you can keep up with him ... That'd be my dream

[@sagePerspective]

For real! One of my favorite friends to ski with

[@earthroamer9907]

Good stuff gents!… It’s actually rather encouraging that you also at times have to remind yourself not to hold your breath when things get a bit special.

[@sagePerspective]

Thanks! and hahha funny how that happens!

[@LB-kg2xh]

Mcnutt is the one bud that hasn't slowed down a bit that you realize you need to ski with more often

[@sagePerspective]

Exactly! Hahah!

[@oskar.lighthiser]

Sick video homie! Stoked to see you up at whistler! I would love to ski there sometime 🔥🔥🔥

[@sagePerspective]

It's definitely on the bucket list! Super fun even when conditions are marginal.

[@avonchalksdale]

Looked like some super techy laps!

[@sagePerspective]

For sure! That place is wild, better vis would have made things a little less tech

[@Duffys_life]

“Welcome to Whistler” 😂

[@sagePerspective]

That was my favorite quote too😂😂

[@ezpznoob8092]

yhup that was elevator. your a much braver man than me, kudos

[@sagePerspective]

Yeah that thing was pre wild. With better vis, would have been more fun!

[@patchcuratolo5201]

When did you guys? Snow is so bare I’m surprised you’d be up there during those conditions

[@sagePerspective]

Was the 7th of January. Over all conditions were pretty good snowpack wise. If just hadn’t snowed in a while

[@rainmaker3700]

McNutt is pretty good at skiing.

[@sagePerspective]

I’ll say! Good to get some time with him.

[@MrGriff4256]

Like pizza, even when it's bad, it's good.

[@sagePerspective]

Hahaha that’s right!!!you know what’s up :)

[@delriv5238]

Great for the soul but tough on the equipment

[@sagePerspective]

Haha yeah lots of rocks but surprisingly not too much damage other than some edge burring. Snow is so firm you don’t hit much with the bases.

[@africanbatmann286]

Is It possible to turn down the exposure so we can see the terrain a bit better? These raw videos are sweet, they are a great accompaniment to meal time. much love Sage! 🫡

[@sagePerspective]

The light was really bad and I did my best to adjust the color correction/ exposure to each clip to try and bring out the terrain, that’s why it changes throughout… with that bad of light it was pretty tricky to get much to show up. But I thought it was still compelling enough to put out the episode despite the bad light.

[@andyhoban-nx1yz]

Super compelling. These whistler vids have been sick. Awesome skiing.

[@sagePerspective]

@@andyhoban-nx1yzthanks

[@onecutmedia]

Welcome to I can’t see squat whistler with bad conditions 😂

[@sagePerspective]

Hahaha it’s rowdy!!

[@onecutmedia]

@ we have dual sport weather now. The Mtn biking is on point!

[@Tanner731]

flat light without clear or almost clear lenses is the worst

[@sagePerspective]

Yeah I like the lightly tinted rose color the most for flat light. But sometime clear is kinda the best

[@Tanner731]

​@@sagePerspective I really like my pink tinted ones right now, kinda a shame most brands dont do a clear lens with their contrast enhancing stuff, think oakley is the only one ive seen

[@Simon-Simon-Simon]

KICKING HORSE n REVY

[@sagePerspective]

Would love to get a session in up there.
