Skiing The GNARLIEST Line Of Our Lives At Heavenly! (Mott Canyon)

[@bigslacker666]

I'm a local and I don't like to ride Mott when conditions are like that, it's more of a challenge thing than a fun thing. Props to dropping in and riding it!! Come back on a powder day and it's the best!

[@707Pascal]

any recommendations at heavenly for someone getting into double blacks? havent been to mott or killebrew canyon yet but ive done most of the black slopes as well as gunbarrel & east bowl pretty comfortably

[@bigslacker666]

@@707Pascal If you can ski gunbarrel comfortably I would say go enjoy any of the awesome tree skiing. Any of the trees/glades off of skyline trail, ares woods, dipper woods, trees off of north bowl etc. If you're having fun and in control in there you're fine to go check out mott. Go with a buddy and have fun!

[@707Pascal]

@@bigslacker666 thanks for the recommendations!!

[@esvignettes7592]

I only ride Mott’s in super pow conditions

[@dre3951]

@@707Pascal Mott or Killebrew on a powder day (or shortly after good snow) is easier than Gunbarrel on a normal day. So wait for good conditions and just do it. On Mott, the more shaded portions are easier due to better snow, except up close to gate 1 the steepness rules. But down in the bowl near gates 5 and 6, exposure makes the snow not so good and it can be tougher. Killebrew - the only tougher part is the traverse out at the bottom, especially tough on a snowboard.

[@KenyaBeelar]

Grew up skiing Mott and Killebrew Canyon nearly every Saturday and Sunday for ski school. Made me 1000x a better skier despite how much I hated it at the time lol

[@hunterdegerstrom5855]

Cameras just don't do it justice for how steep it is

[@kylelewis5348]

Much love on the free ride line 🤙 cool to see you push yourself. Lol …the part where you say…idk dude but I gotta go 😂

[@cvn6555]

Been there once years ago. Pretty freaking steep and really tough without actual snow.

[@Skye-JP]

Sure skied that in some good style. 😉 I enjoyed your video. Takes a lot of courage to go there in conditions like that and also courage to post a video of mostly side slipping.

[@adamthecg]

Sick vid! I'm always amazed to see you park guys on the steeps! Nice work

[@77hoolie]

Geez. East coast skiing is less icy than that. Too bad the conditions weren’t more enjoyable - but the views are amazing.

[@TheBagOTricks]

Still had a blast!

[@travisk5589]

On a good powder day, one can ski all the way down to the desert below.

[@natezarate5413]

The good ol’ Minden mile!

[@dwizzle8405]

Farthest East I’ll go on my snowboard in Mott is snake eyes lol. Usually will just lap Gunbarrel. Can’t beat the moguls and the views 😂

[@fsquared64]

Nice work 👍 Mott is not at all easy with snow that hard.

[@MrDan-pf9ge]

Know the mountain well. Was heading to upper Mott gate out of Milky glade's 3 week's back when my season ended. Sitting around missing my Heavenly, been skiing the mountain for 30 year's, first time she won. Killibrew goes harsh, hold back and slow down on the transverse out, look to the top of Olympic upper gate, to the right off lift. Fire Break gate stay high transverse to burn trees. Rare view. Thanks for the ride along.

[@upbreaker7055]

Definetly have to try it on a good day and make a few turns. Thanks for showing where you were heading.

[@ginot990]

Thx for all the vids they have helped me so much

[@streamerwes9439]

Im a boarder. I hit mott once after a powder day, and there was still very little coverage. Logs and sticks and bushes sticking out. I almost went over a cliff, but it was really fun. I want to go back.

[@TashaEvans-g2g]

Haha, here in NZ the snow is always like that. I swear, half the ski fields are rocks covered in snow.

[@stevenalbertwood9090]

Heavenly is just that, Heavenly views, great family skiing area to ski from Nevada into Cali and back again. But for Tahoe Gnarly I'm going with Kirkwood's Wall Or the Fingers at Palisades Tahoe. See you there.

[@a-line2636]

If you're looking for more of a challenge then you should try pipeline or stalling chute in Killebrew. Pipeline is a lot more forgiving but Stateline is no a no fall zone so really steep and narrow.

[@TheBagOTricks]

Next time I go I'm definitely gonna check out Killebrew!

[@jackfrankle]

I can’t tell you how many times I accidentally went outside boundaries at the end of killbrew. That stateline trail hides everytime I come down the mountain. And it is absolutely no fun to be in the middle of nowhere with a damn foot of pow in freestyle skis

[@LordDabz]

Haha you'll find me in my armada gear with my line skis smashing down runs, if you see a green blur thats me ;)

[@shooter7a]

Skied all that back in the day on powder days...and it seemed so basic. But in the crunchy it gets scary as hell....real quick. Does not look like fun.

[@SheriSmith-j7i]

Gotta love that Sierra Cement!

[@turbomike21690]

Freeride is gnarly in hard pack. I was just at snowbird and bombing chutes and cliffs I'm those conditions is sketchy😂

[@TheBagOTricks]

Oh yeah definitely adds a whole other element of sketch hahaha

[@MattBraun]

not a super hard run but maybe I'm jaded coming from the east coast where ice & hard pack is the norm 😕 Glad you had a good day out there...I was there about 2 weeks ago and it was like 20mph wind and 5º mid mountain. Always good views there though!! 😂

[@natezarate5413]

Not a super hard run…? Maybe not so hard on those Busch league hills back east… this here vid was taken in the big boy MOUNTAINS!

[@gabelincoln3608]

Insane wish I could ski

[@michaelespinosa9168]

Shred the gnarnia!

[@gatticusfpv3174]

Heavenly is weird like that. Most of it is fairly flat with the most interesting thing being the views of the lake. Then mott and killebrew are like the exact opposite and cranks the steepness up to 11. Unfortunately its been nothing but dust on crust every time I've visited. =(

[@theanicola3844]

Really . Thinking about working the season there…

[@yeshello3778]

I remember the first time i skied mott i miss it man

[@arjunski]

Yup that's The "Y" for you. I tried this run earlier this season before I'd properly learned how to make jump turns on 40 degree + terrain like this and it was absolute hell trying to get down. This one might even rival some lines in Killebrew! Nice job slaying the chute though! :)

[@TheBagOTricks]

Thanks! I've done Chute 75 at Palisades and Alf's at Alta, but gotta say this was the steepest one yet. Can't wait to get back to check out Killebrew!

[@arjunski]

@@TheBagOTricks woah steeper than Chute 75!? I didn’t realize that, I always thought that chute was steeper than anything at Heavenly! Guess I’ll have to check it out to see for myself next time I’m at Palisades Tahoe

[@TheBagOTricks]

@@arjunski Honestly not sure what each are degrees wise, but I thought the Y overall was much gnarlier than 75.

[@frankramirez4818]

I wish I still had money to go skiing when ever I want! I use to be in college class and would go to Snow Valley or Mountain High after class in the 2000's I have not been to Mammoth even in Years

[@Ericxnugz]

shredded today pretty fun on my board

[@derickboerkoel2898]

good stuff, looking forward to seeing u at brandywine soon!

[@Erik-Soccer-Boardsports-07]

Nice videography. What time of day did you make the run? Looked pretty icey. Thinking after some sun exposure, it might be a little more forgiving.

[@TheBagOTricks]

Yeah it was early morning, not the best time but high winds were forecasted later in the day so we wanted to get it done before any lifts shut down!

[@natezarate5413]

The run is facing East… morning sun.

[@NorthernJack]

Love the content man keep it up

[@ivyripple7695]

Tree skiing is illegal in Michigan because of how my deaths it caused. My friends dad died from tree skiing last year.

My home mountain❄️🌨🌨🌨🌨. How was it ? Havent been up in about a month due to injury

[@entityeko7633]

My friend got a concussion there 2 weeks ago

[@OhNoNotAgain42]

My knees hurt just from the sound

[@eechap3137]

What other resorts do you plan on going to and what day. My home mountain is sugar bowl

[@calebgonzalez5711]

hitting mott in ice is a death wish lol

[@natelandever1354]

That place is sick cool vid

[@directionwood]

The video doesnt to it justice, its really steep at motts canyon

[@TheBagOTricks]

Video never does it justice haha, but yes very very steep

[@kuhnie24]

Saw this video right before we went to heavenly last week and dropped in on this twice on day 1. Needless to say my legs were roasted for the rest of the week lmao

[@3MatthewWright3]

Ima have to hit this up, California isn’t getting any snow right now😒

[@brohammer]

as a snowboarder, I can say with great certainty that my b hole was clenched the entire time watching this and I would never attempt this LOL! props

[@georgecuster527]

Best video ever .

[@TheBagOTricks]

Thank you!!

[@speedsdaddy8600]

You should go back to peak n peak, the park is 🔥

[@TheBagOTricks]

Going back soon don't worry!

[@wumpuswump7842]

Im going to tahoe what are the best runs at northstar/heavenly?

[@TheBagOTricks]

Lookout mountain at NS and Mott Canyon area at Heavenly are the steepest you'll be able to find

[@DavidLee-wj9sp]

I fell once. Kept sliding down mott for a while

[@fritzkreisler2330]

I avoid a crunchy Mott myself

[@davidhatran3160]

When was this recorded? There hasn't been snow there lately, and that part of the mountain is usually very icy - I can hear the sound in the vid lol. Nice techniques, you make the park look easier than it really is!

[@GershonBenYitzhak]

Went to Heavenly this year, stayed out of Mott Canyon lol

[@benei6469]

And I thought the ASP at camelback was hard

[@connor_shredz]

Super beautiful!

[@superskier1812]

How long will you be there for? Im going in 7 days!!!

[@mattm9713]

noti gang :D

[@Weird_guy.shorts]

Try loon mountain

[@volestia3420]

Bro i saw you at brandy wine today

[@kristianbooth1127]

I dare you to ski down kt 22 (Which you jump off cliffs and you have to do the hard way)

[@oompagg7176]

great vid :D noti gang wya?

[@fatamorgana4318]

Just because you're on skis and going down the mountain doesn't mean you're actually skiing. 🤣

[@biba9919]

The V's🙌🙌🙌

[@Biggerm88]

Imagine heavenly on a powder day

[@TheBagOTricks]

It would be a dream come true

[@Venisor21]

I went there at the end of December where it had snowed for two weeks straight. It was so much fun.

[@skiing7149]

Gnarrrr

[@Weird_guy.shorts]

Try loon mouy

[@eipip1ez]

Not my idea of fun skiing. Need the powder to ski this. This is all skied out and icy. Look at all those trees you can hit after you lose control.

[@stevepowell6535]

well I do not really call that skiing Mott but rather sliding Mott. If you watch the experts ski it you will see a huge difference

[@andrewr2859]

Nothing very gnar about Motts Canyon. It's just super steep and fun especially on a powder day.

[@eddieyutub]

Snowboarder would never have this trouble even as an intermediate but I'm a expert so I go down fast

[@matycee]

pretty sure you're supposed to go faster

[@rossbrunson5894]

Lolololol

[@travisk5589]

Boreal has more extreme blacks of your are ever in the area.

[@UncleBucksHat]

Looks like crap snow and not much fun.

[@MOAB-UT]

Instead of skidding down the mountain- try skiing. Carve. Jump turn if it is that steep and icy. You picked up too much speed because you pointed the skis down and glided- even 2 seconds will gain you too much speed, that you then desperately tried to scrub off by skidding. I'm sure you ski good enough to get by but you would be very happy if you treated yourself to some advanced lessons. Having an instructor actually watch you live and critique your technique is invaluable. It can also go a long way to help keep you safe.

[@TheBagOTricks]

Yeah man I have no idea how to ski unfortunately

[@MOAB-UT]

@@TheBagOTricks Don't take my well intended comment the wrong way. I'm just saying there's better technique you could use to slide down the hill. Yes I was a ski instructor out west so I know what I'm talking about. Put the ego aside and seek to improve. I'm skiing over 30 years have been an instructor at top resorts and I still take lessons so chill. But it's still a free country should do whatever you want man.. Nice video thanks for sharing.

[@michaelphillips5263]

Sorry, but that CANNOT be fun . . .

[@natezarate5413]

Sliding down steeps sideways on ice? I’m good off that… floating down balls deep in the POW, now that’s FUN! You all enjoy those jam packed weekends now… I’ll be here enjoying my Monday through Friday’s with the rest of the locals! Hell! Most LONG time locals (second home owners don’t count…) stay away from that mountain all together… the only reason I went there so often was because I worked there for 10 years. Love the mountain. Hate the swarms of “pretty people” with all their shiny new gear… Flat?? It’s a little slow going on the cat track from Cali to Nevada, but the rest of the mountain is far from flat! Of course you think it’s flat when you are traversing the entire run back and forth and getting in everyone’s way!! 🤬Try pointing your ski’s downhill! You can always tell who the real dummies/jerks are by how they like to stop and chill in the middle of the run like they own the place! Gotta thank Vail and all the stupid touron’s for turning the place into Disneyland!🤮

[@tranquilmind8487]

yeah lets stop using the word gnarly

[@eipip1ez]

This person does not know how to ski

[@TheBagOTricks]

Yeah he has no idea what he's doing!
