[@choisam20]

This was sick! Sick footage too!! Perfect video day. The weather god has spoken on this one!

[@riseandalpine]

Literally zero wind. It was simply unbelievable.

[@dash5879]

Your the only KZbin I routinely watch, always love seeing a new video even being on the opposite side of the world 🔥

[@riseandalpine]

Thanks Dash! I still can't believe that people tune in weekly from across the globe. Gets me so fired up!

[@dash5879]

@@riseandalpine watching your channel literally was one of the sole reasons I’m trying to go skiing as much as possible, looking forward to Whistler next year already!

[@ergogenicsTV]

Epic!!! Sweet run down the mountain and what a beautiful day to be doing it!

[@riseandalpine]

The perfect day! Huge thanks for sponsoring this video! Gotta love those greens 🤙

[@Logannn789]

@@riseandalpine congrats on the sponsor

[@jdawg1808]

That's sick dude! love ur videos my fav KZbinr by far hell of a day you guys had! keep on grinding brotha hope to see you again in whistler (saw u on new years day this year going down school marn) love you, bro, keep up the hard ass work!

[@riseandalpine]

Thanks for all the support bro. It's definitely a grind but I love it. Hoping the algorithm gives me a little nudge one of these days. See ya up there!

[@j1mmy69_]

Looks like an amazing day minus the sketchy log slide. Stoked you got a sponsor, things are getting pretty serious around here. Stoke filled video as always 🤙

[@riseandalpine]

Thanks Jimmy! Super stoked about having a really cool sponsor support the channel. That log crossing was absolutely ridiculous LOL

[@KCLU]

3:53 🤩

[@riseandalpine]

So gorgeous! Still thinking about this day :)

[@grumpyone5963]

Perfect timing. This dropped just as I sat down for dinner! Amazing picturesque views. I had to keep pausing to avoid missing any! I was wondering where the hell is this bringing you guys out? Thanks for your time and trouble putting these out James.

[@riseandalpine]

Glad you had something good to watch while having a bite. Thanks for always commenting!

[@solomonburda]

Is there service up there wondering if I could use Gaia without the subscription

[@riseandalpine]

There wasn't service to my knowledge - but you never know with different carriers. I'd bring a map just in case.

[@oscarbarraclough434]

what a good day

[@riseandalpine]

It was so breathtaking!

[@graemebrown7715]

Was this recently? How filled in is anniversary glacier? Did anyone at the hut mention conditions on matier? Thanks

[@riseandalpine]

Hey Graeme, this was 2 weeks ago. We did this as a day trip and didn't climb anything glaciated. We saw a group go up anniversary and a friend of a friend did Matier last weekend. They were roped up but I didn't really get any deeper intel.

[@JeffGirard]

See ya Wed on Blackcomb!

[@riseandalpine]

Yeehaw!

[@jean-francoiscloutier7361]

Great video, again. You make it so easy. Full of information. Maybe I miss it, but what are you holding there at the end ? Amazing...

[@riseandalpine]

Such an amazing day! At the end It was actually just a part of my pole mount that the 360 camera picked up. Had the camera on my pole instead of the proper stick so it looked funny.

[@dannenjohnstone1627]

Great vid as always. Really makes me want to pick up back country/touring! I have some 111 touring skis waiting to be mounted. Think that's overkill to start with for whistler/pemby area?

[@riseandalpine]

Hey Dannen, You're totally chilling! I love a big heavy ski. I run 115 underfoot in the backcountry. Unless you're doing some crazy ski-mo racing it doesn't matter too much. I'd trade a better ride down for a few extra calories burned any day.

[@tarfeef101]

Man I used frame bindings once and did not repeat the process. Props to suffering through the uptrack with em, I know how heavy that is :D worse than snowshoes IMO

[@riseandalpine]

Thanks bro! The frame bindings are indeed a slog. Finally got some Duke PT's. Super stoked to try my first uphill with pins.

[@sslaskowski]

What kind of bindings do you use for your backcountry stuff? Shift or pin? Great content man!

[@riseandalpine]

In this video I was running Solomon Guardian frame binding with resort boots. Currently, I run Marker Duke PT's on Nordica enforcer 115's. They are pin on the uphill and convert to a full alpine certified toe piece for the downhill. Really liking this setup!

[@sslaskowski]

@@riseandalpine Thanks for the info. I feel like people are very divided on setups. "Don't get shifts, they suck!" and then "Pins aren't as stable for downhill!" haha. Still doing my research. I did get Scarpa Maestrales, so those are nice and light...

[@jeffmartin8249]

love your vids..... whats that tune at 1:20??

[@riseandalpine]

Hey Jeff, It's some no-copyright music from epidemic sound. Unfortunately I cannot remember the name. Sorry.

[@will3057]

Second. On you website you should put raw footage on how to find some of the non marked trails.

[@riseandalpine]

Hey Will thanks for commenting! That would be a sweet addition to the site but I just wouldn't have time to string that all together.

[@bradenmcgill9657]

First

[@riseandalpine]

Yooo thanks for commenting Braden. Every comment helps 🤙

[@rattusrodney]

13:28 That was idiotic and dangerous of you to get that close. You are legally liable and ethically to maintain a safe distance when you are the upper skier. WTF?

[@riseandalpine]

Are you being sarcastic LOL?

[@ConstantineKanarios]

More people need to see your videos, insane!

[@riseandalpine]

Wow thank you! Please feel free to share with anyone who would enjoy.
