The crew at TNF is really killing it support videos like these. Integrating the cell phone clips and other natural moments is absolutely killer. Rather than just creating story-boarded scenes from the get go, the crew is adding emotion and connection to real moments that we can then appreciate. Love'em. This video and Pulp are awesome. Thanks for the inspiration!

fucking truth!

Hell yeah!

yea, if they only would know NOT to film vertically!

Wow amazing Video! Leanne riding away from that Avalanche looked so gnarly! Glad noone got hurt.

[@tomek4776]

Whenever The North Face upload a video it brings a smile to my face and a rush of adrenaline in my body

[@dprfail]

why? they're all the same... seen one seem them all

[@ethanschalekamp8986]

The cinematography in this is crazy. Next level stuff.

[@TheNorthFace]

Appreciate it! 👌

[@FaithandActiondotnet]

Finally, Sherpas Cinema is back in the pow' with some snowboards! Welcome back.

[@Findlines]

Epic! They where a couple big avalanches, stay safe out there. Good to see some boarding from The North Face.

[@Outlaw0Immortal]

The avalanche part had me shook, great cinematography!

[@RRP3168]

Great video! Loved it! Living on the edge!

[@HardwareAddiction]

I seen these big mountain videos, but this, this is just new level of spectacular.

[@FRUGALZZZ1]

Breathtaking photography and skills - more please!

[@edoardomutti392]

Always great videos 🤙🏻

[@imtoolazyyyy]

ah man usually i like watching these vids high but man i was too high for this lol. glad everyone was ok.

[@nutwaffle2913]

glad I'm the right amount of high, then. come back next time, it's worth it.

[@PhelpsontheFly]

I don't understand why Victor made the decision to drop in right after he saw Leanne set off a slide. The dangers were very obvious.

[@ubipsowak9981]

Very good short-movie !! The avalanche scene was horrifying but the transition scene between the three snowboarders and the credits was also very cool !!!

[@Towerzs]

[@Antox68]

The best snowboarding video I've seen in a while.

[@no_name-gj5gg]

that avalance animations reminded me on SSX On Tour. This game was epic!

I don't know what to say... You guys are awesome!!! Great crews!! But damn man... Not gonna lie, all I could think about in the end was Craig man... I could put this a hundred ways but I'm not gonna. Live, love, learn... Yeah

[@woutbreuer9571]

Holy shit that avalanche moment at 6:13. That hit like some sort of trip. Speechless, sick work

That’s the craziest thing I’ve ever seen.

[@MenandMountain]

Amazing skills from Leanne, Jake and Victor. Not sure if I like the style of the video though, maybe I've got to watch it a few times more to really get in tune with it. Anyway, thumbs up.

[@garthrules5979]

Men and Mountain 100% agree. This video felt boring to me and i was struggling to even follow along. The only word that comes to mind to describe this video is.. pointless

[@imogencoote4925]

I agree, but it hits different watching it in a cinema, watching it there was amazing and does not compare to on the phone

[@jbaby007]

Epic 💜

[@kaiserbacote8984]

Wow! Aside from being amazed of this sport, the creator of this video used a Filipino song 😍 🇵🇭

[@darrenlamb5640]

Sounds really 60s style. Never heard them before. Didn't know there was much of a music scene in the Philippines. We live and learn.

[@kaiserbacote8984]

@@darrenlamb5640 There’s actually a lot. Every month of August, there’s a celebration in schools we call it Buwan ng Wika (Language Month) where all of the traditional activities from singing to dancing and preparing foods are still being practiced.

[@darrenlamb5640]

@@kaiserbacote8984 that's what countries should do... keep alive their cultures. Here in England they are trying to destroy all traditional culture in the name of multiculturalism... that's all other cultures except our own which doesnt seem good enough anymore.

[@kaiserbacote8984]

@@darrenlamb5640 that’s a bit sad. At least once in a year the traditions (for each state/province) should be kept alive and practiced (being deeply rooted).

[@cherie6970]

... I'm honestly Stunned by this Sport! (By any chance,us this near "Grey Rocks"? My Father used to Ski competitively there). He's in Spirit form now, I'd really love to know+hear more about it from him or anyone who extreme skis for enjoyment. If it wasn't extremely difficult+ adrenaline filled-it wasn't worth his free time. ⭐He was an amazing man. He was French-Canadian.) This video is Astounding! So Inspiring! Thank-you for Sharing it!🌎

British Columbia is the most beautiful area on planet Earth

[@maximeferre6903]

The North Face should glorify the mountain skills to avoid being traped in an avalanche, not the other way around... Weird message

[@vaughnsigal4560]

The message I got was that it can be all fun and games until shit gets real, and when it gets real it gets life threatening in a blink

[@PetrVejchoda]

This video has Avalanche airbags screaming all over it. From the beginning it looks like you are trying to start one. Sickos! But it's awesome and beautiful.

[@Gleebi]

TNF knows how to market their products. Human + fun + bruh moments

[@XMLMaestro]

Definitely death defying jumping off the cliffs and not to mention triggering Avalanche(s)!

wahhh keren nih kontennya disalju

[@pnwmotocross]

That was a massive break.

[@SENZACLUB]

[@janecull]

Why was the snow not tested at the top of the lines that avalanched? Avalanche risk would have been avoided. Its not like these boarders dont know what they are doing. Very scary stuff and they should know better. Its a very stupid risk!

[@0fg4]

Maybe it was tested. Snow pack test is not a guarantee. Avalanches happen to everyone.

[@hobmarg]

They have professional guides on most shoots especially for bigger productions like this. Guide/pro assessment doesn't guarantee anything though, it's still just risk assessment.

[@gorillaking37]

@@hobmarg bruh the girl causes several avalanches prior to the big one...any better guarantee that there isn't safe enough conditions to continue boarding?

[@2enjoihsu]

That butter tho

[@reesevanbalen6662]

What’s that sweet jam song in most of the video? I don’t think it’s mentioned in the credits

[@jorge4763]

OhSees, Enrique el Cobrador

[@jacobverdesi6593]

Yea Thee Oh Sees is a fucking amazing band and you should listen to there most recent 5 albums , absolutely killing it along with gizzard

[@jpmmustonen]

That band is pure dynamite

[@doug.mitchell.106ID]

What were they doing running helo lines on such a sketchy mountainside...? Anybody do any pit work before they started dropping lines? Anybody who's ever worked Patrol, MSR or similar is probably a little angry (myself included) after watching this one. Seems like an excellent opportunity to do some valuable teaching -- but instead it's "we're lucky" and a beat...

[@Federico-eh9ki]

MAMMA MIA!

That move at 3:03...

[@hecto95]

What is the music that starts playing at 5:40?

[@animatronikki]

Seems to be called "What Sleep" by Chris Wong and Chuck Bucket. Wong is a keyboardist/bassist and Bucket is a drummer. But that's all the info I can find on it anywhere, and I couldn't find any places where it's available online either. Such a bummer, I would love to have this tune in my library.

[@NRGundy]

Might be a dumb question, but do they have any indicators of those slopes being liable for avalanche? Seems like there would be no way to tell. Great video regardless.

[@lifeofluke]

There are ways to tell a slope's stability by digging a snow pit and examining the snowpack layers

[@petematic]

@@lifeofluke And many many many other factors.You dig a pit in an area unaffected by the wind and it might be completely different 3000ft up. I don't see them digging pits on skinny ridges or stupid steep faces.

[@SuperAversion]

Lots but it's tricky. Flutuactions in weather, degree of slope and snow pack assessment are some of the indicators.

[@gurkofable]

What the song is at 6:18?

[@kevind.cornwell5424]

Steph Copeland - What Sleep (I can't find it for download/stream anywhere 😢)

[@misterfunnybones]

Big mountain skills or hospital bills.

[@blackhole4]

Damn that was a nasty wipeout, thankfully their ok.

[@CallMeAGansterOfLove]

loling at you all who think you can make better decisions than this crew. You're in the comments section for a reason, stay in your lane. if you've ever taken an Aiare 1 course the book literally opens with two facts: 1. Avalanche risk is always present 2. Don't assume just because you didn't get in an avalanche that you made all the right decisions and likewise don't assume you made the wrong decisions because you did set one off. That pigeon holes the learning process into false dichotomy. and if you haven't taken an Aiare course, again, stay in your lane

a lot of comments saying things like "amazing skills", well that doesn't out weigh the stupidity of deciding to continue making runs in bad conditions, even though there were plenty of warning signs of danger throughout this video.

3:02 wanna be able to butter like this)

[@nicolaslater4174]

I’m disgusted at the glorification of triggering several avalanches and just about surviving them. What sort of example is this to set North Face?? There will be people watching this assuming they could probably just outrun an avalanche or simply swim to the top of it. Unbelievable. Very disappointing.

[@SwedeenXBL]

Nicola Slater How is it glorification? When they are not only using horrifying music but also cinematography. If anyone thinks avalanches are cool because of this video not only do you need a reality check but so do the people that think that. Such a stupid way of looking at this video from your point of view. Its cinematography, grow up.
