The La Sals // Skiing White Peaks Above Red Rocks

[@ropehnd]

I would love to an episode where you guys discuss your jobs/career.

[@TheTrey181]

I agree. And also an application so I can live like Danny.

[@ruffrydazz2032]

"We're skiing on rocks" - Danny "So, I borrowed Christoff's skis..." - Matt

[@mball831]

I work as a ski tech in a shop that does AT rentals - I routinely take out the shop's skis on days like these.

[@markwerner7840]

I feel for Christoff. To add insult to injury, Matt made sure your skis had the fun you were missing out on!

[@TheVirtualsherpa]

I have never seen you guys take so many breaks before, Christoff must have some SERIOUS FOMO on this one.

[@rchaser4]

I was sure they didn’t even eat...

[@exceptionaladventures3939]

Seriously, lol

[@dwareagle50]

Danny, Thank you, Blake, Christov, Matt, Aaron, ( sorry for misspells ). You and crew have started the " living Vicariously through others" Through the 3 years we've watched, we have expanded our hiking excursions, terrain. Further, You guys are our retreat from the world's B.S. Thank you again, keep it up, Please

[@whaleshrimp111]

I am old and broken from many decades of adventures. You guys keep me smiling and remembering the steep and deep and the whitewater rivers back when I was young. Power on while you can.

[@UNPAVEDTV]

Well said 👏 enjoying other people’s adventures is still fun to see! Any favorite adventure memories ?

[@andrewstiff494]

Best day of the week when a new Mediocre Amateur is uploaded!

[@harrisonaero]

Nice to have a type 1 fun day every so often.

[@philmanglicmot2528]

I have found the best combination of waking up in the morning. Hot coffee and the adrenalin rush from watching you all on Mediocre Amateur. Oh what a feeling!

[@andyman127]

Like everyone else... how does this channel not get more view. I have spent the last month hammering through the entire back catalogue. Great videos, great inspiration. Thanks for all the work you all put in.

[@wbwylie]

I'm 65 and did 5 miles with 700 ft vertical yesterday and wore myself out! You guys are amazing! I have to scale my expectations way back, but you all inspire me to get out there!

[@BadHikers]

We all miss when Christoff isnt around but his FOMO almost makes up for it know that he is missing out. Epic trip guys, thanks so much for sharing!

[@p2lpark]

Gotta ski Humphreys in Flagstaff, you are at 12000+ while looking down into Sedona and the Grand Canyon!

[@H7B2ify]

But isn't it in a ski resort? Could make it more convenient but less fun. But I do agree, Humphrey's and Tuk probably have the best panoramas in the nation

[@spicee1000]

Official Counter: Mediocre Amateur videos since Danny's last puke: 6! I wasn't holding out much hope for action on this video. I've gotten use to not having Blake on a video, but not have Blake and Christof? Matt is the LAST person I would expect to brown bagging it. See you next video.

[@KevinEassa]

where did Blake go???

[@spicee1000]

That is one of the universe’ s greatest mystery.

[@claytonellington762]

Thanks for the puke counter, you're doing the lord's work out here

[@N7KOM]

Gotta love being on skis in a t shirt. Looks like a great day out.

[@AlwayzPr0]

Lol flying the 787 sounds pretty awesome

[@TheDionBlasterMethod]

Was looking up these mountains after seeing them from I-70. Looks sick!

[@alicion34]

Windy place for sure. I will never forget my trip up those hills.

[@marcohanig176]

Of all the channels I watch, yours is by far the best! The adventures are always interesting, your filming and editing are spectacular, and I love the way you guys are always teasing each other. Thanks for doing this!!!

[@carlblanchet]

I like how these guys don't even flex the helicopter

[@Gigaamped]

Oh schnap I thought the outro shots were from a drone but I see now 👀

[@tompelham4648]

Have looked upon them often enough, heaven on earth! Thanks for that fellas:)

[@griffindeitz850]

I'm honestly blown away that your videos don't have more views. This is my fix during the summer time when I can't go skiing.

[@haydenhastings2017]

Keep up the good work fellas love watching your videos

[@davejohanson4951]

This channel makes me so happy

[@alehax27]

The commentary is great on these vids

[@IanPryor]

You guys make such great video! You have inspired me to make a few of my own so thanks guys!

[@benanderson4639]

The La Sal mountains are some of the coolest I've ever explored.

[@exceptionaladventures3939]

This was a great one! That snow looked dreamy. This video proves you don't need powder to have an awesome time.

[@davidheywood4082]

That area looks awesome. Fun trip!

[@whenopportunitycomes8718]

Woooooh. Thursday morning treat. Missing Christofs action though. May be he flew over you guys just to get part of the action from the top. 😁

[@looperdooper5969]

That skin pull off was clean fire 🔥 🔥

[@jadenstookey7676]

I have wanted you to ski the La Sals for soooo long! I love it!!

[@SupermanJH68]

Christoph flies a 787? There are worse places to be working. Great plane. Great career. Love the La Sals. Great Video.

[@beachcomberkt]

Who is Christof? Just kidding. : ) You guys are all amazingly skilled and I love watching your videos and seeing views I'd never see otherwise. Thanks for posting.

[@DjWheels775]

What a nice day! Most underrated channel on YT!

[@jpickle4982]

Beautiful landscapes plus skiing! Win win

[@manfredseidler1531]

Eye candy, equipment accounted for, no one got hurt....well done.

[@10mileman]

Did Mount Tuk in July after a 100+ degree day in Arches. Awesome to find some relief just 30 minutes away from Moab!

[@thecommission970]

Wonderful video!

[@JB-rt4mx]

Awesome...always a Great View

[@allancowieLM1]

Great to have you back guys missed your vids

[@samanthagrandon7000]

I live 90 miles away in Grand Junction...love having Moab so close by! Gosh this video was PRETTY

[@stephenverchinski409]

About 20 years ago I hiked up and skied that line going down the SW gully on Mt. Tuk. Old pair of Rossignols did just what I needed. Came out at sunset and smiled at the solo. Sure beat the drop at Tuckerman's back east in the spring.

[@bob-fh9pd]

Makes me wanna learn to ski

[@desviz]

Totally Miss Christoff but beyond the morning crust, your downhill footage rocks! Looks very carve-able! GO MA! More Spring BC Skiing! & Thank YOU!

[@connorperkett4613]

I really enjoyed the end shot of your day's tracks- unique & cool to see the whole trip's work. Looks like a great trip!

[@July4.1776]

The flow is growing back... Awesome!

[@jordanPRS89]

Oh come on, guys, this is too good. It makes me miss Utah so bad! Great video, yet again!

[@bauabh]

Your channel is amazing

[@kristinegoodman7534]

Awe poor Christoff. Love this channel!

[@WhereKentWent]

Amazing as always! So cool to bring some visibility to such a unique place like this.

[@lifeofluke]

Awesome to see you guys getting after it - wish we had red rocks like that in Canada!

[@darreneyre]

Another epic video treat. Thanks guys. Challenge: next spring = burro pass skin/ski + MTB porcupine rim.

[@ronl7131]

Nice vid of great sunny outing on the snow

[@ivan82593]

this was sick. love what you guys do !!

[@christinerolle3876]

Awesome!! Good for you both. Always be safe.!!

[@erictrenbeath9680]

PronounceTuk, like too with a k on the end. Or Too-koo-niki-vatz.

[@deanpereza]

Your trips looks amazing as usual. I do the same activities as you guys do but less skilled in the mountain.

[@davidbruce2159]

Nice controlled descents, true art

[@TheSavacc]

Thanks for the great shots from Mount Tuk....that looked spectacular !!!!

[@brianharder7714]

Dueling Whippets.....the sure sign something extreme is about to go down. Great trip. It's a long way from AK but I'd love to get that done one of these years.

[@mandbhomestead]

Love you adventures and videos. I am inquiring what skis and setup do you use to do both cross country and then downhill? Thanks, any info is appreciated. Ken

[@CiroSantilli]

Great music choice/editing, congrats.

[@cnj420]

Such a cool range.

[@markmclain1956]

Magnificent! Oh I wish now I had not played high school football!!

[@kylem9917]

Awesome video! Just climbed both those peaks last summer.

[@herkusr01]

That was so sick! I had the same thought when I went to Moab, the views must've been surreal

[@alexanderbarnett4948]

Mediocre Amateur uploads; my happiness 📈📈📈📈. Learning Christoff is a pilot was also pretty interesting

[@danielrose703]

I am looking forward to the snow melting and seeing some punishing runs leading to throwing up. That nice pale/green look right before you chuck.

[@kenjones4564]

Put his name on his bag lunch, his mom made, you guys are so great, made my day, THANKS

[@maccaldwell7437]

Love y’all’s videos, they excite me to get out and see more of the state!

[@kylelawrence8412]

I'd love to see you guys do the Ptarmigan Traverse in the North Cascades this summer!

[@wetsockoutdoors8538]

Sir - at about the same time during march of 2021 i was backpacking in canyonlands in 80 degree weather . wow

[@JordanGreenPNW]

Another epic adventure! Just got my first pair of touring skis today 😎

[@zacharyennis6543]

Love your videos. You should rip the Presidential Traverse in NH, The Pemi Loop, or the Huts Traverse! Presi Traverse: 20.4 miles, 8000ft elevation gain. Pemi Loop: 30.3 miles, 9500ft elevation gain. Huts Traverse: 45miles, 16000ft elevation gain.

[@FRDOMFGTHR]

Great video as always guys! What camera are you saying for the cinematic wide angle shots? Also how do you manage to get your GoPro footage to look so clean? Is it making sure it’s uploaded in the quality it was shot in? Thanks!

[@jt8251]

I rode a dirt bike over those mountains and into Colorado. Amazing place.

[@benc.8103]

Welcome to the other side of the lens Christoff. Sucks doesn’t it.

[@markusschmied2237]

Thank you guys for this awesome post! The moment you are traversing that ridge from Peale to Tuk and then up the final incline to Tuk seems like you are on top of the world, somewhere in the Himalayas! Wow! Got 2 questions: 1) Weren't you scared of avalanches? Living in the Austrian Alps, I've done my fair share of off-piste skiing and I must say in the face of these free, steep slopes I'd have been most worried about avalanches! 2) How did you find your way back from Tuk to your starting point through all these dense aspen groves??

[@Robowolfcolsin]

"I haven't seen a lunch in a brown bag in a long time I think his mom packed it for him" 😂

[@domesticterrorist483]

Dannys witt is part of the beauty of the MA videos.

[@vpmm2j]

Yay, a new video 📹

[@lcb9807]

I've been waiting for the new one!! Yessss!!

[@kylegriffin7872]

I remember I camped on these mountains for a few nights. I would wake up to elk and mule deer grazing in my campsite every morning

[@benjamingallahue7531]

Missed the first few beautiful spring days on Mount Washington here in NH. I feel for you hard Christoff!

[@cypriano8763]

not bad snow. cool spot

[@MichalOlender]

That looks absolutely gorgeous! What do you guys use for filming? Only GoPros?

[@samvilla6290]

That christoff impersonation is on point 🤣

[@BillWright]

Nice! Can you share details on your route? Maybe a Strava or GPS link?

[@jwhoward182]

In the 90's I'd kick myself for not packing my tele skiis to do this on my annual Moab mountain bike trip. Awesome episode as always!

[@Golfman5]

I love these videos!

[@electricaltimelapsetest5713]

Looks awesome !

[@MurrayPeeps]

You guys are blowing up my spot!!!

[@mudhens4ever]

Beautiful! What tool do you use for navigation?

[@IMP3TIGO]

I love your leathery skin, sign of a true man.

[@pagewhite61]

Amazing views from up there, thanks guys. Tell Cristof he was missed but that his Mediocre Amateur adulting skills have been duly noted.

[@masonmunkey6136]

Always jealous of what you guys get to do in these videos.

[@sjldfilms5126]

Poor Christoff! His skis and skins had more fun than he did!!

[@735outdoor]

I filming my hiking videos in Utah. Do you mention small channels on your channel?

[@markthomasson5077]

Scratches on your bases are like notches in your bed post…be proud

[@superultramuffintime]

Anyone know what Danny does for a living? Trophy husband maybe?

[@eddiej7259]

there's been episodes where he did point to point excursions, and he always mentioned leaving his "work truck" at the other end days prior. I know it's not much, but it would suggest he works in some sort of a trade.

[@superultramuffintime]

@@eddiej7259 Good insight, thanks. I've heard it's seasonal too, someone mentioned on another video he works on an orchard? Not sure if that was sarcasm or not.

[@eddiej7259]

@@superultramuffintime I've seen some comments somewhere talking about how he does work on some sort of a ranch, so maybe an orchard would be part of this ranch? I know Blake and Danny knew each other since they were kids and lived a mile away from each other. Blake is a general contractor who was doing work on matts house and that's how they all met.
