We slept in snow for the first descent of Twin Peaks

Abnormally safe avalanche conditions and a weather window gave us the opportunity to give Twin Peaks a go. A true giant of the north.

Joonas quote killed it even more than his skiing

[@mpkarlin]

Let's go! This was definitely the coolest editing project of last summer. So excited to see the final version ⛄

[@Nikolai_Schirmer]

You killed it🤝🚀

[@everspader]

Congrats! This is a cinema grade production!

[@someusername121]

What was the track 10:55?

[@fabianpeters7077]

Great edit man! Lot's of focus on the actual skiing - makes this one stand out amongst the others!

[@codyandvictoria]

Crushed it!!

[@attemoilanen4848]

Hats off for the decision making in this video. For me this is the most interesting part. We all have our own tolerances for risk, and while the some of the hazards here are obvious and you're probably pushing it further than some others would, it seems that nothing is done without assessment.

[@Nikolai_Schirmer]

Thanks for recognizing that

[@1llski]

It's been amazing to watch how your assessment skills have evolved over the years. Being confident in reading the old crown is something that seemed next level, especially given how terrain trapp-y that looked.

[@vinccentpaul]

sometimes you underestimate just how good nikolai actually is because he makes it look almost easy

[@-palle3971]

Epic work by Joonas as always. Love to see him ride too. Great Video!!!

[@Haushaltsgeraet]

Nice cave :) If you dig the tunnel upwards from the entrance, so that the sleeping area is about half a meter above the opening of the cave, you'll trap the warm air "upstairs" and it'll be a lot cosier during the night. Give it a try next time.

[@chrismccaffrey8109]

Sooo we just gonna ignore that Jonas skied the most goose bump inducing, jelly jiggling, jumping around the kitchen inspiring, gotta go touring tomorrow after watching it line of this video????? That left hand turn over the roller and then that big sweepy right hander under the rocks oh dang! That’s my favorite type of terrain to ski, whole video is phenomenal!

[@Nikolai_Schirmer]

Watch his complete run🙌 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZW0mpSjps-InJosi=BN2bGBqGpJrHOfjM

[@jago2484]

Loved Joonas's skiing, such smooth pleasure cruising.

[@mathiaskreuter4506]

Smooth operator...😁

[@intellectualsemipoeticbullshit]

Niko is the best skier on KZbin rn

[@tannnerrr]

Bro this video and your account deserve so much love. This is so fire it allows me to experience experiences I will only ever get to experience a few other times in life. Thank you

[@homelessrob607]

That drone shot from, 14:17 is so amazingly sick! X

[@nilsfobel8138]

the amount of emotions you convey with these videos is insane!

[@noxhvh]

Sick runs, thank you for the footage. Amazing as always..

[@igk916]

What a treat was already watching cody townsends latest video and got the notification for this, always look forward to another niko masterclass.

[@slimigan]

Smile on my face the whole time...this is just the best

[@gavinopperman73]

You guys are living the dream. Every video just gets better.

[@theozetterberg4591]

i really love your videos. they get me so exited about winter and skiing.

[@michaelholm6884]

Great film as always, also really appreciated the little visual markers highlighting your avalanche risk descriptions. I know when I first started getting into backcountry skiing I sometimes found it difficult to visually parse out indicators of snow conditions and that sort of thing is extremely helpful!

[@louiswodon7775]

huge banger, as usual! already looking forward to next wednesday

[@peterwojnar]

Beauty of a line, and beautifully told story as always. As a backcountry ski filmer myself... fuck yeah Joonas. Making us all look good.

[@Nikolai_Schirmer]

Thanks Wojnar!

[@ondrejschwarz]

That was such a gnarly line Niko! Amazing footage

[@Vercinger]

Amazing as always.. what a great way to hype up the coming season 😄

[@judobear1]

Love your video adventures. Incredible what you do today relative to what was extreme in my day.

[@eliiaaaa]

im so happy its niko posting season again

[@john26razor340]

production quality off the charts

[@paintingsofwaves_mikewoning]

Mate, by far you are my fav skier at the moment. The stoke is so good, you seem to be on your avy game (cutting it waaaaaay closer than I ever have), and riding super nice lines. This is... [searching for words]... pretty much perfect! Just as freeriding should be.

[@lesliewagner100]

Just brilliant!!!! 🔥 wow, a big thank you from the coast on Maine. Stunning work!

[@Forrest_404]

Exited to watch this! You make the best films every time

[@asantucci]

This was such a great film! Congratulations on some epic mountaineering and descents, even if not as planned. Thank you for showcasing avvy decision making as part of it; it's very excellent to see professional skiers turn around when the conditions (don't) call for it.

[@joelparsons608]

"Don't teach your father how to ....... " (Joonas Mattila) HAHAHAHA! Awesome

[@ohchristusername]

What a banger! Impressed by Calum making it down with control in that situation.

[@HANSSAMAA]

Absolute masterpiece on this absolutly beautiful mountain

[@cryx4]

Joonas almost showed you both up with that line. Sooooo smooth

[@itsonlyme4812]

Joonas proving he's the MAN Also, Niko, you shred. M83, classic. And a cool new friend-guest, Calum ! On a titan of a mountain ! What a vid !

[@Snakebite420]

Amazing Job A++++ Stay safe & continue doing what you love! Sending love from the North!

[@matth3903]

This channel and the content you guys are putting out is some of the best I've ever seen. Thank you.

[@akadventures329]

Crazy good video. Production quality

[@georgecurry5560]

You always surprise me! You and your team have amazing talent. What a story and shots!

[@whiskeypissmusic]

I've been loving all of these films. I'm healing from a broken arm so it's an inspiring way to get motivated to get back out there where I live near Lake Tahoe, CA soon! In fact this is my first sentence typed with both hands in two months. Go me. But go you guys... great work, keep it up fellas.

[@callumglass]

My mind is normally blown away, each episode. This?!?! Omfg and Nikolai...Those wees, heees, and wtf on your gorgeous run. Gave me such a smile and giggle! That high cliff edge spine :'). Bravo to all involved as per.

[@pgalbraith2]

Joonas skiing in this video was so good! Too bad the Calum got caught in his own sluff. Thank goodness he was okay and did not get sent into a tomahawk.

[@dougdavis8986]

I wish I had no fear of going fast. Good to see someone that is really tentative do it. I know that feeling!

[@sailingsommeliers]

Best video I’ve seen of yours and I’ve seen them all! I don’t ever comment on videos but wow amazing video, editing, and of course skiing out of you Niko!

[@MarkusJAase]

Stunning video, again! Thanks for sharing your adventure! And man, what a line! And what a beautiful peak🙏

[@matyldatomczyk3974]

That was great! those Snow cornices tho!!!

[@SDLErha]

One of the best ski vidéo i ever seen, thanks Niko and your team ❤

[@MilesKarci]

Really great content on your channel Nikolai! Impressive images from Joonas as always! I'm really interested in knowing Joonas' backpack model :)

[@julianmorgan1933]

Would love to know too if anyone has any hints?

[@welldonegan675]

Stepping up the game hard! *also with the kettle 🤟

[@Surfwr3ck3r]

So beautiful!❤

[@lorenzgasztner4662]

Great video found the soundtrack a lot better than on your last video where the music was quite distracting. Especially loved the shots with you skiing the slope with the sea in the background. Really shows the angle. Really have to travel to see a proper glacier. Every one I have seen until has been on it's death bed. Are you doing another sail to ski adventure?

[@Noarka]

Thanks for transporting us all into a magical world!

[@paulamato7880]

Epic snow! Wonderful edit. I am stoked for the season.

[@pierreolivierbrouard2132]

Ive seen you have some beatiful fubukis. I am tempted to buy them 😂

[@paultrudel9791]

Epic video, Niko you always manage to scare the crap out of me. Keep up the good safe work.

[@miguelalonso9294]

Great effort and great skiing lines!

[@Lasaij]

Wow! Amazing scenery and skiing, I love the adventure part as well!

[@SecretSpots]

W O W !!!!!! That was amazing

[@ewancarter4994]

Amazing content as always! Calum recommended I go on uni exchange in Alaska - great to see him sending it!

[@Epic2k9]

Your videos are so so good. Thank you so much.

[@dinoantoski468]

This video was a rollercoaster of good emotions ! Keep it up !

[@mettflow2648]

one of the best faces and lines I have ever seen, fucking mad

[@mettflow2648]

also since the face is "secret" I am on it to find where this fucking is

[@mrp3980]

Such an incredible video! Thank you

[@MrA1582000]

Such a beautiful adventure

[@kaden697]

Never seen anything like this! Amazing video!

[@JG-pm9ty]

Adrenaline is definitely the elixir to exhaustion. Great riding and filming. Keep up the good work

[@manavparekh6746]

Another amazing video as always, but man that Taj Mahal cut had me rolling lol

[@Ben_Schu]

Absolutly epic, everything very well done!

[@manuCH_]

stunning video!! I have to wait another month to go skiing D: CAN'T WAIT

[@blakerunyan4756]

Be careful of the situations you put yourself in. Feel like given you couldn’t access from the back, probably should have abandoned that mission as going straight under those cornices is such a sketchy gamble. Stay safe man

[@05jpan]

Hey Nicolai, i would love to see a video of you skiing in the tallest mountain range, the himalayas.

[@jamesleakey119]

Scariest Video I’ve ever seen , I’m sat here in a cold sweat , amazing stuff

[@oliverschmid294]

insane shots - crazy lines - 10/10

[@HeySers]

Love your content, let’s always amazing to watch. Maybe you could do a video again about the clothing and equipment you‘re using, would be interesting to watch🤓

[@Nikolai_Schirmer]

Thanks! Working on it :)

[@HugoFry-t9y]

The top section was INSANE. Still not sure how you got up there. Love your films.

[@AldenWeebsta]

That was INSANE. Good work!

[@dziugasvadakojis9303]

Simply stunning 😯

[@LucasGarzon-d8y]

Amazing lanes and amazing spot. Greetings from spain

[@erinb4919]

Amazing footage. Wow

[@SplitPhotography]

Sick!

[@davejanzen_]

Always stoked when I see a new video posted! I love what you boys continue to do & it's me so fired up to adventure in my part of the world. I have a question for you, what brand are those tiny snowshoes you use when climbing the mountains?

[@Nikolai_Schirmer]

Thanks! They are auftriib

[@davejanzen_]

Thanks@@Nikolai_Schirmer!

[@remibausback7603]

everytime i watch your vids i see the 157k subscribers and it makes no sense in my head that only this many people want to watch the content you make haha

[@danubebennett8329]

Wow. Clenching so hard just watching that

[@chazbickel4518]

What the.............!!!! That was awesome!!!!!

[@thesuperduperbros2786]

What are you scanning at 4:22? Keep up the awesome videos! Just found your page and am binge watching. Started skiing this year!

[@Nikolai_Schirmer]

We check that our beacons work, before going into avalanche terrain. Thanks! Have fun with it😄

[@stumpy25lbs]

[@Milesalex]

Niko movies make me happy

[@505Torpedo]

Joonas tearing it up 🤩

[@harlanhegge1306]

😎 simply awesome!

[@JamesBrock80]

Incredible!!

[@glennhalverson1016]

Awesome video, as always! Just for me I would like to see some more speed control and less straight line. You know, old school skiing like Doug Coombs or Cody Townsend. Probably because I’m old, but I think you may have a longer career if slow down a bit.

[@Nikolai_Schirmer]

Thanks! You know Cody used to go fast when he was my age too😉 Speed control isn’t necessarily going slow in my opinion, but knowing where you’ll be able to lose the necessary speed to be able to stay in control. I think of it like a dyno move in climbing. Of course the climber is suspended in the air for a while, but she or he is confident that the hold they’re jumping to is good. To me that’s what separates the ok skiers from the good, and you can really tell on big lines. Look at Lusti’s couloir skiing vs. pretty much any of her female peers. Lusti is great because she dares to freefall for a turn or two (or five), enabling her to flow gracefully through cruxy sections, because she knows she has the skill to regain control lower in the line.
