The Scariest Thing I've Done On Skis

Getting into a scary situation at Whistler Blackcomb
0:00 Warm up
0:52 Into the gnar
4:23 Made it out alive
4:32 Enjoying being alive

[@bradensmith22]

i think its just the gopro hiding the steepness of the situation but im pretty sure I'd prefer an icy tree filled chute to the gnarly rock lines you're always skiing lol. it was especially funny to watch you ski through the sharkiest terrain i've probably ever seen in a section of the video titled "enjoying being alive". you're a sicko dude keep it up and please make sure you stay safe!

[@tylerehlers6192]

I'll share a word of advice from a 37 year old aggressive skier. Ski too the conditions if you want to ski another day. Single best advice you'll ever receive from a skier.

[@corneliusblackwood9014]

Ski to your ability, don’t be afraid to push it but know your limits. If there’s snow on the ground you can ski it.

[@Colbyobrien378]

Some of the best vids on KZbin

[@harryhorn104]

The fact he says that was the sketchiest shit he's ever skied and then drops down a 20foot+ cliff with pillows right after 😂

[@jdp6127]

Nice skiing...I like the look backs with the camera to see what you came down, lots of Blackcomb lines in there!

[@kennethhamilton5323]

Hey bro for reals you are a great channel to watch! We want to see you ride for many more years, be careful out there man

[@Bigboybacob]

your videos make me realize no matter how good i am at park i will never be able to this kinda gnarly shit. major props great vid

[@corneliusblackwood9014]

ANYONE can ski what he’s going down, it’s pretty standard intermediate skiing. I was crushing Jackson Hole, Vail, Snowmass, Steamboat etc when I was 10 years old. If you can ski the park you can ski big mountain and backcountry. Don’t sell yourself short!

[@rasvankhandro4563]

brother , ur insane , today i was watching ur vids and was like man i miss his uploads and BANG he strikes again ! keep it up ur skill is through the roof !!

[@BCmtb]

Thanks! Glad you enjoy. More coming soon

[@patohara175]

Another insane vid, the lines you ski are just stupid impressive! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@deepskis]

I just can’t get enough of your skiing videos I watch every single video on my school computer at school lol

[@BCmtb]

Thanks! Love to hear it

[@mountainman8129]

Definitely survival skiing. No room for error. I felt that. Good shit!

[@jerrybuck9236]

This entire video gave me anxiety...you're a mad man!

[@alexanderosherow2064]

excellent "survival" skiing !! steep and exposed with ice always makes for some heavy breathing and careful, methodical movements. good shit!!!

[@chriskutlina5743]

Skied WB for the first time a month ago. Absolutely amazing ski area! Soooooooooooo sick!!!!!

[@craigversheck7835]

I was gonna say that this is awesome and that's what it's all about. Scaring the shit out of yourself and ripping the day away.... Until about 2 minutes in!!!! 😧 I'm a northeast guy and been the Whistler quite a few times. Had the same snow conditions. Dropped into a steep bowl that was rather narrow compared to Whistler bowl, to traverse over the next ridge to hit a narrow rock wall chute. On the traverse there was already a narrow track made from previous skiers/boarders. We couldn't make our own because of the snow conditions. The lead guy (riding with both skiers and boarders) ended up stopping and jamming us all up 2/3 way through the bowl. I board, I was facing forward towards the bottom of the slope. I had to unstrap to walk the rest. If I bent over my ass would hit the slope and push me forward almost sliding down. I wouldn't care if it was powder, but it was that same snow. No ending would be good if I fell and slid. Needless to say, we made it to the chute. Nothing but ice left after previous people had been there. The entire experience was nerve wracking and a big lesson. But we got ourselves through it together. Keep ripping and stay safe out there man! ❤

[@BCmtb]

That sounds like a wild time! I’ve definitely had more moments like that than I’d like haha. Thanks for watching

[@wutsgudbud]

You're absoutely nuts man, my goodness bro!!! 😳🔥

[@RedBerylFTW]

Between the dense fog, the narrow drops and the avalanche this is both crazy and awesome

[@ajsorensen2585]

I remember being at Whistler and thinking damn who the F skied that line, now I know haha So many sick lines, just absolutely great skiing and one of the best places to ski and mtb!!

[@johncarr2333]

I love it! Chasing that pucker factor.

[@hopnglo680]

The coffin looked nasty. Wow. Incredible the way you handled that. Just full of rocks and firm conditions too.

[@BCmtb]

That was actually 2m gully in spankys. They look very similar though

[@hopnglo680]

Ahhh, yes. The top was really bare. I didn’t recognize it!

[@MartinBrehovsky]

Love your content bro, I really hope I can get to your skill level one day

[@thomaspanos]

Your ability to find and read lines on W/BC is off the charts. Really enjoy watching your reels. Thanks for posting. PS. Where is the location of the sketchy first part of the video?

I was wondering If you know some good bindings for skis. Ive been looking to get some actual good skis but i dont know what bindings to look for.Thanks!

[@BCmtb]

I use pivots for downhill and shifts for touring. Don’t have experience with many others. The pivots are quite nice

Sketch! Is this CBC? I stick to the one route I know to avoid places like this.

[@p33p_show]

around the 2 min mark I know exactly that feeling xD Had a similar thing happen years ago and ended up going down instead of hiking out and blew out my knee for the season after falling down a 10ft cliff right on a rock 🤣

[@BCsJonathanTM]

The poles tho 😍

The things you can get away with out west due to 'so much snow' haha Have you seen East Coast gnar, bro? ;) Seriously though, given how steep this looks on video, damn dude.

There was a time in my life that I aspired to do trails like that and that I indeed did some sketchy stuff... (but never as well as you) that time has passed. Too fat for that now. Gimme some nice groomers and moguls... I'll leave the heart pounding adrenaline rushes as but a memory and a thing for you youngsters now.

[@jgames1364]

[@BCmtb]

Off of Crystal. Far cbc trees I believe

[@person7587]

Why do all of your videos look yellow-ish?

[@BCmtb]

If you make the snow actual white it will tend to get blown out in the bright spots. I’m sure I could make it look closer to real life if I really tried but I’d have to adjust settings for every day. Also on cloudy days like that the snow tends to have a yellowish look in person too

That was the scariest thing you’ve ever done on skis? Keep at it though, you’ll get there! And invest in a transponder or some sort of back country tech gadget to make sure you can be found! I’ve had some close calls with avalanches.

[@douglascoleman1252]

This fellow is skiing a needlessly difficult line through the trees and rocks on an otherwise pretty negotiable pitch that serves neither him nor the observer in any useful, explanatory way.

[@BCmtb]

That was literally the only way through impassable cliffs and I didn’t wanna hike back out. Pretty much had no option. If you don’t think the video is useful then don’t watch it

[@MrDogonjon]

Mandatory tree hugs between side stepping is not skiing... it's freaking out.

[@tod5098]

while i love skiing trees, that shit just does not look fun. youre basically climbing down the hill on skis. not even skiing. great for you but no interest here,

[@nickv3085]

Can you explain more what was so sketchy about that part? I mean I get the obvious, but when I consider most of what you’re skiing in these videos, it didn’t seem as scary as you were acting. I guess bad conditions in that spot make it extra spicy. I’m genuinely asking btw.

[@BCmtb]

This is a good question. What made it so skechy is all the trees and sharp branches in the runout which meant you couldn’t have any speed out of it. Then it was this super curved chute so only your tips and tails are on the ice while your underfoot is floating over rock. If I slipped at any time I probably would have gotten injured. I found the consequence of messing up that even more than messing up something like air jordan. Also the snow was bad. Those are some factors that made it terrifying. Also the overhead risk was pretty sketchy In that spot because it was warming up after fresh snow so an avalanche or pillow could have come down at any time

[@nickv3085]

@@BCmtb thanks for the reply! That helps me understand much better. Cheers
