The quality of these vids and their skiing is incredible

[@joelbalti2406]

When the things even look that steep in the video, you know that you would shit your pants in real life. Nikolai Schirmer surely is one of the most talented skiers out there.

[@erikfsu1]

Almost shit my pants just watching this.

[@deanlikesknives2354]

I've been there before and can confirm: in real life this shit is STEEP.

*somewhere in mid alps: "Do you remember the knot?" ffs

13:32 "I always have to KZbin it when I'm up here" 😂 "Uhh rocks"

[@Mike-oz4cv]

Just do a European Death Knot. Instead of that double fishermen’s stuff.

[@IIllIllllIIlllIlllll]

@@skierpage Don't get me wrong I love the video and Nikolai but I do feel that putting that in the video kind of promotes recklessness in the backcountry. There are more and more channels trying to teach people to not go into the BC unprepared and this is kind of the exact opposite of that.

[@rythewolf1505]

the knot? uwu (I'm a degenerate)

[@Nikolai_Schirmer]

@@IIllIllllIIlllIlllll Thanks! I get what you're saying, but these videos are in no way scripted, or intending to be anything but entertaining. I cut together the most exciting bits of what happens out there, in a truthful manner. Pretending that we have it all figured out at all times would just be wrong.

Yes, I live in Salt Lake, and the traffic to the resorts is awful on powder days, so I live in constant fear of forgetting some gear.

[@charleshein4477]

i skied Chamonix about five or ten years ago. We got tons of new snow but they had us roped off like cattle. Everywhere I went, it was groomed trail skiing only. Frustrating to say the least. Ducking ropes there is intimidating. These guys are unbelievable!

[@jassonoppenhein3783]

Because they yupps

Man. Your videos are so awesome. I can watch them every morning just to get the kick one can feel when up in the mountains!!!!! Thank you. You guys rock!

[@guillaumel.8610]

That is sick. I love your editing style, really good rhythm. We always miss having more skiing part, which I think is a good sign!

[@CatheLeiper]

Wow. Wow! Solid skiing on amazing terrain. Excellent footage--good balance of action and "personable" moments. Glad you read the snow right: some of those passages looked necky avalanche-wise. Admire your stamina. Oh, to be young again...

[@reed.k.h]

That song hooked me from the start. I've skied my whole life in Vermont (east coast of the US), so skiing rocks and ice is second nature, but the mountains here are small with little exposure. It's my dream to get this rowdy one day. The cinematography on this channel is of epic quality and the commentary is on point. Easiest it has ever been to hit that Subscribe button. You guys have given me inspiration to start making videos again for my own crappy little adventure channel.

[@Nikolai_Schirmer]

Woho, thanks! Stoked you're into it!

[@Thesbone92]

the editing in this video is some of the best i’ve seen from you... keep up the good work!

We went there in summer and looked at the top. And than again the area below. Love watching you guys ski. I'm just an average skiier.

[@privatsergej]

I have never watched a 15 minutes Vlog with so many emotions. Happiness, Fear, Excitement, MORE FEAR... Crazy man. I am a freerider myself but this shit is on another level!

[@brianharder7714]

Another good one, Nikolai. Interesting to see the Cosmique so variable and then you guys get complete blower in the sun on the second lap. High quality bonus. But even with the shitty snow at times, skiing to the valley is pretty sweet. BTW, your exit onto the Bossons was tres sketch balls! I was holding my breath.

[@Nikolai_Schirmer]

It was just too cold for that snow to stick on anything slightly steep. Thanks!

[@bastiian]

This season you're spoiling us with incredable contet Niko! Much prefer this years way of doing videos to last, with that said I still loved what you did last year. Keep it up!

[@Odiskis1]

Great videos! Its awesome to get the adventure as well as the skiing. Personaly I would like the clips from the gopro to be a litlle longer, and also that that you show the lines both from the drone-shot and the gopro. Its cool to see when you can see how it looks from above as well as in the gopro. I feel like i sometimes a part of the rund is cut out. I would love to see full runs or at least larger segments. Only an opinion, and this is really going in detail cause I really enjoy watching now as well.
