SKIING Every Lift at WHISTLER BLACKCOMB in a DAY

[@brianbenson7595]

That was me with you on Big Red express!! Loving your channel. Stay well. I got in 39,274 vertical feet that day. What a ride.

[@riseandalpine]

Brian!!! Thanks for checking out my videos. It was such a pleasure chatting with you on the chair. 40k vertical is HUGE. I'm glad you made the most of such a delightful day! Hopefully I'll see ya on the mountain again at some point .

[@edjcambridge]

Very cool! Thanks for the tour Whistler is on the bucket list!

[@riseandalpine]

Thanks! You've got to get out here at some point it's the best!

[@jdgmoneyyy5947]

Lovin the content! I went to whistler in the winter and it was awesome:) keep up the good work!!

[@riseandalpine]

Thanks!!!

[@bradleyengel1225]

What a sick video! I've never been to whistler, but I had the trail map open on another tab so I could follow along. Also a really impressive feat, unfortunate so many lifts were closed though.

[@riseandalpine]

Thanks! The lifts that were closed are usually always closed most days. Haven't seen a day with every weird little lift running in years!

[@chrisbizcoach]

Going to miss you in the off season buddy, thanks for all the vids and shredding. Great vid today. You got skills.

[@riseandalpine]

Thanks for always tuning in Chris! Skiing videos until June and then I'll be filming my other outdoor antics off the snow :)

[@aleafgod-kd3vj]

Love whistler

[@riseandalpine]

It's unbeatable!

[@michaelcurtis4302]

Awesome video bro. If I catch you on the mountain in a week, I'll try the hot sauce LOL.😅

[@riseandalpine]

Thanks Michael!

[@sorenjones]

Woah! I was there the same day! I might have been doing the Flute Bowl hike while you were skiing Symphony! So crazy. I enjoyed the grooming as well.

[@riseandalpine]

Such a nice day!! How was Flute?

[@sorenjones]

@@riseandalpine Absolutely stunning views! Snow was definitely more dust on crust, but nice to get the turns in on untouched snow, The skied-out sections were pretty choppy.

[@ezski4688]

Another challenge that would be cool is to ski all the alpine bowls(West, Glacier, Flute, Gemstones etc.) might be a little too hard though. Whistler had pow for like 4 of the 5 days I skied, unreal place.

[@riseandalpine]

That sounds like my kind of day!

[@jimmyho1983]

Awesome run, bet you can’t do that on the peak season😂. Nothing beats when there’s no line up for chair lift

[@riseandalpine]

Peak season/weekends would make this nearly impossible.

[@JackZeroZ]

Good vid! You know when you film with the camera stick holding it in front and above you? You can adjust it on the fly to film yourself from behind and above by changing the grip: instead of having the long end of the stick coming out of the thumb side of your palm, it comes out at the pinkie end. It's like switching from holding ski pole as a sword to normal ski pole hold but pointed behind you and towards the sky.

[@riseandalpine]

Thanks for the tip, that sounds like it will capture a really cool angle!

[@jean-francoiscloutier7361]

Wow, I've been wanting to do that since I started skiing at Whistler but never had the courage to do so. If you do not mine, whit your permission, I will follow your quide the same way you did it. I quest I have to wait untill next year. I'll stick to Blackcomb. Thanks for this wonderfull journey. Your's amazing....

[@riseandalpine]

100% you should do it next year! It's super fun :)

[@itsdavidpurcell]

James, yer a beauty. Salad, hot sauce, Salad, skillz, salad..... Next season, we're either setting the peak to creek lap record in a day, or maybe every horseshoe 3 times? Keep up the awesome work. This series is gonna be HUGE!!!!!

[@riseandalpine]

Mr Purcell! I'd love to race with you up and down Peak to Creek all day long. I'm not certain they even groomed it once this year...

[@gingy5580]

It was amazing seeing you on catskinner this year

[@riseandalpine]

🤙 🤙 🤙

[@zipperboy2008]

It can only be truly done over Christmas when Franz chair is open.

[@riseandalpine]

Very True. But I would dare not try with the lines at Christmas hahah

[@zipperboy2008]

@@riseandalpine good point.

That Hot Sauce Will Do It 💥

It's a staple in my diet.

Thanks Courtney! Such a fun way to spend a day at Whistler Blackcomb 🤙🤙🤙

[@angelabirt8038]

Was skiing all last week wish I could've met you

[@riseandalpine]

Next Time!

[@izakvisser5610]

Missed the last 6weeks of Whistler... Kibda bummed about not getting to ski those pow days but at least I get to watch some videos and get to kinda feel like I am out there.

[@riseandalpine]

Pow FOMO is the worst. I know that pain! I've got two big pow videos coming next week to help fill that powder void!

[@krisgrey5555]

Yolo...and you are! Well doing!

[@tylerbates8198]

Jesus that peak to peak would scare the shit out of me

[@riseandalpine]

It is 100% spooky. Ridiculously high!

[@riseandalpine]

This might be my favourite comment of the year 😂😂😂

[@theroadnottakentravel]

I agree lol-your videos are great to watch while eating😂

[@AlleineDragonfyre]

Can't ski anymore (knees expired lol) but this was a nice view!

[@riseandalpine]

Your poor knees :( Happy I could take you for a ride with me!

[@Kirbey]

if you had every single lift and t-bar open, how would your route of changed if at all?

[@riseandalpine]

Probably wouldn't have changed the route too much since they connect back to most of the chairs. Would have had to start or finish on the magic chair though

[@skippylegrandgourou2069]

Nice video man, I am from the French/Swiss Alps and i lived in BC for 7 years. It is so expensive to ski in Whistler $200 day and their chairlift are so outdated. I ski 3-4 times in Canada and 10-20 times in Europe per season. I pay 20-30 euros ($30-45 per day) in Savoie for a day pass, sometimes it is free or super cheap. Whistler is good for MTB but sadly this season Creekside is shut down.

[@riseandalpine]

A season/epic/edge card is the only reasonable option. Paying for a lift ticket is so ludicrous. I always hear Europeans commenting about the chairs... What makes the lifts so outdated? They are high speed quads not 2 seaters like most of the province. Do you guys have full service bars or something on those Euro chairs?? Creekside shutdown is a bummer for MTB season, but it will greatly improve the flow on the Whistler side for next winter.

[@sangodan3031]

@riseandalpine can't comment for all of Europe, but skiing in Austria you have a few bubble (the restraining bar had a windshield basically) chairlifts, most being 6 or 8 seater for smaller queue lines, with a few even having heated seats and practically all lifts have piste maps. That may be what people mean by outdated for whistler lol

[@TradeFav444]

As someone who loves to ski but lives in Florida , this almost hurts to watch

[@riseandalpine]

I feel for you man... Florida is far far away from the mountains :(

[@robclark6114]

You must have done this on the one day Vail had all the lifts running! Almost all the days this year they could not run their lifts!!

[@riseandalpine]

😂😂😂😂 I checked the board for 132 days straight until I saw everything ticked green.

[@robclark6114]

@@riseandalpine You are committed! Well done sir!

[@SkiBikeBoys]

i’m gonna try this with palisades tahoe instead of whistler 🤣

[@riseandalpine]

Heck ya! Excited to hear about it.

[@GolfMessiah2005]

he spikes his hotsauce with molly

[@eugenionavarro4092]

Hey bro nice vid! I just wanted to ask, what camera did you used to record the video?

[@riseandalpine]

Hey dude! I use a mix of the insta 360 one x2 and a go pro hero 7. Just upgraded to the go pro 11. Filming in 360 is pretty clutch in after production because you can reframe everything however you want!

[@multiversityx]

Did you just take a shot of hot sauce? What is that? :D

[@riseandalpine]

My secret blend of skiing Hot Sauce. The spice gets me stoked!

[@dominicpenalosa5277]

If the snow is mediocre this is always true: the top of spanky’s is good, not the bottom

[@riseandalpine]

The glory at the top makes the suffering near the bottom worth it!!

[@normferguson2769]

How many camera and drone batteries did you carry that day?

[@riseandalpine]

One battery for each camera. I didn't even have to recharge.

i want to go to whistler on my mountain bike but wanna try skiing there aswell

You gotta try skiing at Whistler Rory! You'll love it!!!

lol im new here did he take a hot sauce shot

You bet I did! Liquid Courage baby.... Better than redbull :) Thanks for tuning in!

@@riseandalpine Busy with school dude :/ Learning how to contribute to society, whatever that means 😂

[@JexelD]

You missed the Olympic chair

[@riseandalpine]

I know :(... it was closed that day sadly. Maybe it's time for me to do it again. Also, I'll have to get in touch with lift ops and make sure Franz chair is running too LOL

[@ritazhao7705]

3rd

[@sauce729]

You missed Magic Chair 😅

[@riseandalpine]

It was closed that day... Too late in the season hahah. Gonna have to try this again

[@Useitupapp]

How long does Whistler stay open till usually?

[@riseandalpine]

Blackcomb is open this year until May 24th. It just snowed about 30-40cm today and the coverage in the Alpine is the best it's been all year!

[@Mrseriousdude]

Sadly no Franz Chair, It's barely ever open anyways. And No Magic Chair and T-bars.

[@riseandalpine]

Guess I'm a cheater

[@Mrseriousdude]

@@riseandalpineits fine, You got most of the lifts

[@lukeroney7091]

Try this at big sky. I dare you!

[@riseandalpine]

I'd love to. Except I'd probably end up skiing the lone peak tram all day. That terrain looks so awesome!

[@adlevitt]

You missed Olympic and Magic chairs.

[@riseandalpine]

I know! They were closed for the season. Would have been the most fun chairs tho!

[@EzPzz]

No Olympic or Magic chair, my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

[@riseandalpine]

😂😂😂 My Friend. I share in the same disappointment. Planned this video out and got up there to find out both were closed for the season.... GARBAGE hahaha

[@chosonnow630]

Do you believe in using your ski polls? All you do is drag them along lol. Beyound that nice vid

[@riseandalpine]

When you are carving hard it is actually better to drag/tap your poles. Watch some videos on ski racers and very good carving skiers and you'll see what I mean. Off-Piste pole planting is more integral. It's important to keep pole plants light because over planting can mess up the body position. So YES I believe in using poles all the time, but they have different applications depending on the terrain and ski style. Also - if I'm holing a selfie stick I never plant in order to keep the camera more stable for viewers.

[@chosonnow630]

@@riseandalpine Intersting, I raced for over 10 years and never did we drag our polls when tighter turns were being used, such as GS, SL, the carves I was looking at were not at high speed and more like a lazy GS type turn. Only time you would ever drag is Super-G and Down Hill at high speeds

[@florianburtscher6647]

wtf

surprised?
