In this video we're snowboarding in Whistler on the first scary double black diamond of the season. The Alpine chairlifts are still not open so we are hiking to the top. We are all riding all mountain and powder snowboards which are perfect for these conditions!

[@MountainMitchYT]

The runs never look as steep as they actually are on camera.

[@SnowboardProCamp]

It was scary for a moment!

[@freestyledrtbk]

SnowboardProCamp I've only seen a few videos on youtube that give you the magnitude of the slope. It's like trying to going down a snow covered ladder. When was the footage from?

[@Imperial_Sludge]

I know I hate that.

Mitchell Carson looked like a blue with that lens.

[@violetb7004]

This is my fourth day ever snowboarding and this is so inspiring! Yesterday I went an entire green run without falling! I need to practice getting onto my heels though!

[@parker2749]

If you don't fall, you aren't learning

[@dorothynemeth9675]

Good for you! The feeling of progression is the best! Wishing you many pow days in your future. 🏂🤙

[@ChuckyWright]

cameras never do their justice, this run is far steeper in person

[@invective827]

Oh that looks plenty steep lmao

[@bruhbruh8946]

Yeah lmao im boutta say this vid makes it look slightwork but im still too scared to board it myself 😂😂

[@bryceeverage3900]

I wants skied the steepest double black I’ve ever skied and when I looked at the film it didn’t look steep at all, same thing here

[@sonnywright6499]

These guys just make me want to snow board 4ever

[@ithan8069]

Sonny Wright real racing 2 logo?

[@zoolanderist1]

That's What It's ALL About!! Having a Great time on the mountain with the boyyyyys! Great video as always!

[@ellstackeradventures]

Totally

[@brianschweitzer1]

I have never seen a video about a hard run where every comment doesn’t say “Hahahaha are you kidding me that’s the bunny hill at my mountain smh I would bomb that hill”

[@michaeluchida5617]

4:17 says it all. Great video!

[@joe_zupko]

double blacks in North East USA are like ice survival runs hahaha this looks nice though

[@maxwellreck8751]

well it looks nice because its not in the northeast

[@joe_zupko]

@@maxwellreck8751 So true. There was some nice powder after the nor'easters last winter though haha

[@relate97]

Lol funny because I met a couple in CO that said the blacks out there are like blues here lol

[@johncantatore7986]

@@relate97 that highly depends on where you go

[@relate97]

John Cantatore did you watch the winter Olympic last year? There’s a reason every single snowboarder competing for any country lives in CO (besides Shaun white), take a trip out here sometime if you haven’t already lol

[@shadon9183]

I love this guys energy XD 4:18

[@homerthompson6028]

I was pretty deep into snowboarding during my college years and I honestly loved everything about it enough to consider it a passion. But due to life taking its toll (weight gain, depression etc.), I haven't been able to go in over 5 years. I'm not like I used to be. My body aches, nor am I as cheerful as I once was but I'm really going to make the push to go to Big Bear at least one time this season. Sorry for the sob story but I didn't realize how much snowboarding meant to me until the prospects I once had are now gone, or at least seemingly so.

[@bigkyle04]

go snowboarding, then no more depression.

[@scottlatter625]

No excuses!! 'Life taking its toll', take control mate!

[@killerhippo10]

Boarding probably would have helped with your weight issues, regardless its never too late to do anything man. Just get back out there, the only thing stopping you is yourself

[@henryenderson4814]

You only got 1 life my dude. Do what makes you happy, and dont say you dont have time or energy, if you truly love it you can make time and energy! Chin up brotha

[@user-wp9mb5yq5e]

Get out there bud, skiing (for me) is the best anti-depression medicine around. Best thing about the sport is you can do it alone, with friends or meet people every time you hop on the chair.

[@israelperez6277]

This being my first season snowboarding ever at 25 , I am already on my 10th day rocking some blue trails. Hopefully someday soon I can do trails like that. That looks terrifying but sooo fun

[@Rayzax94]

the style TJ rides is so dope

[@ellstackeradventures]

The trees looked so perfect

[@damonbennadryl962]

THOSE DAMN BUTTERFLIES! Anytime it's my first sketchy run of the season i always get butterflies

[@zhiqizhu8310]

3:10 Andreas is so adorable watching Kevin

[@davidshirz4351]

Guys how long is your gopro stick (in cm plss). Great video as always ; )

[@PaulMoody]

Sick video as usual. Makes my day off the mountain mo better 👏👏👏. Tell Andreas to upload more video. That guy knows so awesome runs 🏂🧡

[@lalalabad]

what time of the day is this? whys the mountain so quiet. super early morning? also driest snow ive seen at whistler ever. wow

[@hongyimarkye5708]

I used to think that only skier could ride double black diamond, but you guys........ It’s awesome!

[@londonobeltrannatalia339]

I AM LITERALLY IN LOVE WITH THEIR VIDEOS

[@brallantp.2812]

I love Kevin man. He teaches you everything from what board to buy to double black diamonds

[@kingchris9167]

Me in my head who lives in Texas and has never seen snow before- “I could probably do that”

[@Dylan-ht3zu]

That big grin as your riding down Kev, nothing beats that feeling @4.57

[@Imperial_Sludge]

I want to go to whistler so bad. Its probably my dream vacation.

[@darksaga80]

This is a dumb question, but were you shooting the footage with the new GoPro 7 Black? The footage looks amazing on my 27" monitors.

[@JoseFariaBR]

Sick footage! Great golden hour effect

[@KaloqnBankov]

The camera makes it look like a green run in the East :)

[@tfletch4756]

Bro i thought you were gonna be one of thos people that are like thats a green in my mountain but your cool its cool that people understand

[@brandonbh04]

Awesome, but why did you take the lift down at the end? Doesn't the trails lead to the very bottom?

[@oORaveNOo]

In the last 3 days I ve hiked peak over 7 times, everytime it worth the hike! Shred that pow!

[@eltankos]

Always makes me nervous when Kevin throws his board down on the base, keep thinking it's just going to head off downhill on it's own. Great vid as usual lads, stoked!

[@scs428]

You guys giving me major FOMO! Currently 8 mon pregnant so no snowboarding for me this year so you guys need to shread even harder for me and my little dude. Next year, if hes walking, he's getting strapped to a board haha

[@whimp2720]

Is he strapped already?

[@jonathananderson7990]

Yeah! Get that kid into the Xgames good mama!

[@keykeyscales]

Get em riding while they're learning to walk lol

[@bobbarker142]

I’ve only skied like 4 times, 3 of which were in gatlinberg Tennessee haha. Went to whistler this past week. Sending it off peak express and 7th heaven was nuts. I took it slow on those gnarly runs and definitely learned a lot. Thought I was gonna die dropping in off a massive cornice multiple times. The amount off cliffs in whistler is crazy

[@K_Dog253]

Wonder if that's the same area I went to. There was tons of bare rocks on the steep sections, and we had to find tiny paths of snow around the exposed rock

[@Brunnobortolotto]

I'm super excited waiting for Grouse Mountain. This season will be my first season, I bought everything cuz I checked your videos, so I'm ready to learn day by day. All tips for beginners. Yeah, I can't wait to get there. Next step for next Year season is Whistler. Thanks Kevin, I love your videos. Hope one day to see you guys out there. PEACE

[@ericengelke1133]

My first time doing Whistler bowl was in absolutely no vision and it was one of my scariest experiences ever. We had absolutely no clue were we were going it was just one of those fuck it why not moments.

[@leongaber5308]

Nice edit. Thank you guys for the videos. So hyped to snowboard again!!!!

[@neilbower123]

What's with the ride of shame going down on the chair when there was a line/snow to ride?

[@jordanlewis1124]

Im trying to see if i could head up to whistler in probably around february. Hopefully i can!

[@marcgauthier2368]

Hey im going to whistler at the end on january 2024., I was wondering if you need AV gear when you go to these places since it seems to still be on the resort?

[@cryptoisthefuture5351]

This is amazing, watching this inspires me to get better 🤟🤟🤟

[@skiinggator]

Looks like great powder day. Need to get up to Whistler Blackcomb some time.

[@luketenhundfeld479]

So since that Double Black looked like it led to the middle of nowhere. How do you get back to like the main part of the mountain

[@rancidhotmail]

do you guys use transceivers when you freeride? doesnt look like you have ABS/Shovel/Probe on you guys

[@jdlc903]

Are snowboards smaller than they used to be?breathtaking scenery

[@Jake_Hynds]

Is it open to the bottom of accelerator now ? I boarded to the bottom on Thursday but it was grassy patches and not open bit didn't hit any rocks ..

[@xxbondsxx]

How does a mountain / powder snowboard help in these conditions? More rocker style or wider or what?

[@domcridland1995]

Hey man, what poles are you and Tj using for the GoPros?

[@glassedgrass]

I took my dad down this run last year. He was not happy when once you get into its super steep and you have to traverse. Its not really difficult and if you fall its not bad. Pretty great run though just is a knee burner I think the left side entrance is a lot better than the couloir extreme.

[@prodeddy30.]

Great job! It looks steep and to think that runs don’t look as steep on camer that’s insane. I’ve been skiing for almost two years now and I did my first double black cliff drop today and your vids make me want to ski more even though you snowboard. Good work!

[@davidferreras195]

What are is the screen resolution on your gopros? Especially the guy getting the full body shot? Cool video by the way! I live in NC and dream of conditions like this every season. Gonna need to make another trip out west!

[@shitjezchrist]

That was absolutely beautiful, good music too

[@drob7360]

love the run boys which was it? off spankies?? How is the snow up there is it worth the ticket price and drive from the city?

[@SnowboardProCamp]

Just beside Couloir Extreme!

[@TheCrazyposter]

that goPro 7 footage is really good

[@borjatm2415]

yoooo guys awesome videos!! really getting all of us hiped for the season!! btw next time you need to look for a cool snowboarding destination to do a blog you need to come and visit Sierra Nevada !! Greetings from Spain!

[@Thatdude_Nik]

Just went down my first double black diamond yesterday, Jericho in Jiminy Peak. tbh It was pretty easy, and if you can go down black diamonds, this is a perfect start. In fact, I’m kind of questioning this trail why it IS a double black. It’s really easy.

[@crewanderson7508]

More double blacks! Random question but does Whistler get good snow in April? I’m hoping the Canadian borders open by March and i get back there!

[@tonywong3978]

can u guys make a tutorial to teach how to stand back up when u fall into powder?

[@hankwilson]

Kevin, the video quality looks super great here! Any tips on shooting modes with the GoPro 7? Do you shoot with pro tune mode on and color correct in post? Thanks!

[@christ0ph3rson70]

Love watching these guys snowboard! So relaxing haha

[@coffeephish]

Nice, fun vibe. What cam did you shoot with? Sooo clear.

[@ChiefLunar]

I did this run with my brother last year, fun little slope

[@snowskat3]

How did this run difficultly and steepness rate against Corbet’s at Jackson?

[@hamsterdancer4244]

Honestly Andreas is my spirit animal

[@mylesdurant6108]

@SnowboardProCamp I’m coming up to Whistler for Christmas what should I expect?

[@Dan-hn1lx]

Quick tip hit up double blacks when there powdery and not icey and moguled out by skiers!!!

[@ODAWGO22]

Ok wait I've never heard of riding a mountain down on a chair lift I feel like that's just a waste of a mountain

[@simonbarbarasch7169]

I'm pretty sure the mountain was only open in the middle. You can see the low coverage in the shot on the down lift

[@michaelpedersen181]

How is it going with Chris, with his ACL injury? Is he back om the board this season? And doesnt he have a KZbin channel also? Cant find it :(

[@jshanly1]

What jacket is that? (dark blue). This year or previous year? Looks pretty snazzy haha

[@franceiroca]

I love the Dump truck!!! one of my favorite board!!

[@jaewonlee4000]

Can you tell me what is the double black diamond. And why it is called like it?

[@papafishcake]

Which run is this? I'm coming to Whistler this March, Do you guys work as mountain guides? It would be great for someone who knows the place to show me some of the best spots. I'm dying to hit some of the bowls but I don't know Whistler mountain at al

[@papafishcake]

@@alanamars8898 thanks so much

[@dmac03]

What facemask do you use and how do you like it? Been looking for one that doesn't freeze or fog my goggles, but also isn't overly warm.

[@alexmcwhinney8969]

Dillon MacDonald Kevin uses the Black Strap Hood and Tj uses the Black Strap team hood, definitely thinking about getting one this season

[@clarazapata6867]

I can’t wait until I’m good enough to do my 1st double black run!

[@PlantiPal]

The Marhar board looks sick

[@alphawolf2993]

Why are the lifts not open if the snow is this good?

[@jue5228]

Going up there for a full week starting tomorrow! Would be sick to hit some runs with you guys!

[@deansnipah2895]

If your back hand can touch the snow without bending at the knees too much, then that tells you its a pretty steep run

[@matthewabramson09]

Having skied this run 10 times, harder than it looks!

[@ggstarrr]

That was awesome! I'm heading to Whistler this January. Where can I find that run?

[@wallykramer7566]

They mentioned it in the video. Look for Seventh Heaven lift on the Blackcomb side. See www.whistlerblackcomb.com/explore-the-resort/activities-and-events/summer-activities/peak-2-peak-360-experience/7th-heaven-summit.aspx

[@aaalllen]

Pretty epic. The music added suspense and the editing was fun. TJ w/ the camera under the pole... was that to get the footage even more stable? Otherwise it got it in the way sometimes.

[@SnowboardProCamp]

The GoPro below just gives a unique perspective. May help a bit with stabilization too!

[@linuslundgren3836]

Man you guys are so lucky with snow we don’t have anything here in Sweden

[@jumallifan]

We got snow at night in finland at ikaalinen! Im gonna go snowboard today for my second time!

[@stephenoa5549]

I was there literally there last week and its a lot steeper in person lol

[@GabagoolFool]

What bindings are you using on the thinker

I’m new here and sorry for the ignorance, but why are t your cameras on your helmets?

not sure if this is Whistler Bowl but that is a dope run

[@arnaudsoulignac8929]

Don't you think that a series of vid about avalanche risk and victim research and rescue procedures (using proper equipment) would be great ? You may save/protect several life's by doing it. It's almost a duty... Thank for all your vids from France.

[@wallykramer7566]

Not really a concern in a ski resort in the U.S. and most of Canada. See my comments to Peter Gmelin below.

[@corydeschamps3680]

Andreas looks like a super fan filming Kevin lol

This makes me want to ski again shit i should have never stopped
