"Must Be Nice"

John Spriggs has heard it a million times: “You’re a pro skier, must be nice.” What people don’t understand is the work, risk, pain, and reward that comes with dedicating one’s life to backcountry skiing. Come on a journey with Spriggs, McRae Williams, Taylor Seaton, Ben Moxham, Wiley Miller and more as they make their way through winter in the Rockies and show not only breathtaking action, but the other, darker sides of being a professional skier.

What a breath of fresh air this is. That ending tho

[@connortinker6637]

Spriggs absolutely snapped and especially after recovery

[@tmmsplace]

Good short flick, no doubt impactful to the over 35 crowd and makes me grateful as much and hard as I’ve skied I’ve never blown a knee or torn an ACL.

[@Bingjobb]

That edit with highway gave me goosebumps...well done tgr, I'll be watching this on repeat

[@TheFirstBubbaBong]

This one was a slap in the face kinda. I see some of these guys are not perfect like we normally see in TGR videos by showing several of them eat snow which we normally don't get to see and then we get the reality that some are not immortal. RIP all you ski bums who have fallen way before your time. Psyching us up for this years ski season. Gotta love it!

[@AllEgoSports]

TGR, you guys just rock. You capture the back country skiing and snowmachining (if you’ve ridden in Alaska you love this term) perfectly… Thank you for putting this together

[@burkeylynnadventures]

Soooo good! Video, scenery, skiing, story, music, pace ... I'm not a skier but will be watching again and again. You captured, so well, the passion and drive and commitment and love required to pursue excellence in anything. Bully good!

[@AArchitect12]

y’all never disappoint with the content you put out.

[@alpinemotel7974]

Thanks for the clip, guys. You'll always have a place to stay with us!!!!

[@hype1218]

[@shaunraugust9835]

Wow that was excellent

[@huntress2u4life68]

OMG! It amazes me how they go over the side of a perfectly good Mt,

[@DanielDunn]

Some really beautiful big mountain lines in this film, especially considering they are not in AK. Nice job by all. Dr. Black has done some work on me as well.

[@Ocass06]

Must be nice to have snow lol

[@jjd445]

ANOTHER killer vid by TGR.

[@K-FOREST_Original]

Hi! How are you? Tomorrow is already the weekend this week. I hope you have good health and good things on weekends and holidays. ^^

[@samsappleton8381]

Part of this video answered a question for me - pro skiers use snowmobiles for the path up and don't skin!

[@knight2988]

im tryna get like you, my boy

[@jackwakefield1807]

It must be nice

[@miles9294]

must be

[@rafi54mariner]

It is

[@K2K721]

👍

[@jhonnygringo1514]

nugget busters for life!!!

[@hfolkedahl]

What is the speech at the beginning of the song "jungle" I can't find it anywhere

[@bigeasyphoto]

That's an Alan Watts speech!

[@TowerSaloppy]

Showing this on a projector to a class full of high schoolers as they work on their projects. It's muted - sorry if stated but anyone know what state(s) this is filmed in? Thanks

[@bigeasyphoto]

Hey man sorry for the late reply! this is mostly filmed in Montana, with a bit in Utah and Wyoming!

[@jimmyqlo1231]

20:45 must be nice

[@jacksonattwood2509]

Any chance someone has the Alan Watts x tash sultana edit? It was epic.

[@bigeasyphoto]

Made it myself, feel free to use it yourself!

[@fudgicles1000]

What was the song used that started right on ben Moxhams run right after they said they were staying in gods country?

[@bigeasyphoto]

Wicked and Riled tribal seeds!

[@jwj8201]

I was talking crap on here about how you shouldn't complain like this, then blew out my acl a few months later. Any suggestions on how I can appease the Ski Gods for my transgressions?

[@bigeasyphoto]

Recover and get back to skiing! And now you can complain too!

[@themaster_0000]

That’s because they didn’t have enough good shots so they had to use the wrecks

[@scotteinarj]

Skiing ruined…flyfishing ruined…back deck still sweeeet…..

[@goodson77784]

1:34 where is this?

[@bigeasyphoto]

Mount Hood!

[@markastroNL]

Doesn't 'just' apply to skiing ;)

[@wobbema88]

Great film. Can't stand the advertisements though. They totally take away the vibe.

[@Bobarino142]

That $2.70 a gallon would be pretty sick right about now. Let’s go Brandon!

[@bigeasyphoto]

$2.87 in Montana again 🤣

[@JoshP81]

It really "must be nice" to live the life thousands of kids would love to live, to travel the world while being paid to create content and promote products, to ski places others only dream of. Please spare the sob story of the challenges that come with professional skiing and the need to create content that people will watch.

[@outfitr9703]

Great skiing and scenery, terrible music or whatever you call that noise.

[@themaster_0000]

Nope. Check out few words that’s a movie

[@Ericxnugz]

eww

[@sharkiesgirl8929]

Music sucks. Rap skiing dont belong together.

[@SolaceEasy]

Iterative. Uninspired Music, Theme and Skiing. BTW, I've been filmed by TGR Grand Targhee sidecountry.

[@SolaceEasy]

I haven't skied in a decade and I still have pain from my ski years.

[@levirichardson8505]

didn't ask, don't care.

[@chuckjackson8457]

What a gay soundtrack for the skiing, very distracting to me. So much music out there, your choice didn't fit, but the skiing was awesome.

[@themaster_0000]

Lame

[@nickolsen4338]

Skiers can never come up with an original idea…what a joke! The original must be nice was released in 2012 by DC Snowboarding. Skiing and roller blading…same dump shit
