YETI Presents: John Shocklee | A Fairy Tale

[@oesutro]

This might be the best ski film I've ever watched. Beautiful.

[@nathanielmarron6218]

"This sink is pretty sweet" "I found it" I love that

[@joeroganofficial5433]

I went to the comments hoping someone would acknowledge it

[@Portugal.TheMan]

he certainly figured it out.

[@catonhlee]

He sure has

[@heathermcmaster2149]

Just got off a rafting trip on the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon with John. His spirit is infectious and his love of the Colorado River and rafting the Grand Canyon seems to be rivaled only by his love of skiing. I had no idea he was in his 50s! You'd never know it to be with him. He is an inspiration on many levels--a great teacher, patient, kind and passionate. Wish we could have spent more time hanging with him. Check out YETI presents "In Current" to see him again with some other fantastic river guides.

[@d33f15h]

Where do I sign up for that trip ??

[@austint1321]

"I like skiing... more than anyone here" Does anyone else feel like this when you go with a group of friends

[@pkoerner6]

Maybe my fav yeti film yet. Great scenery, wild characters, awesome music. These 7 minutes would look awesome in IMAX

[@austinkingsley6605]

John Shocklee continues to be my hero. I watch this every week for an escape from my linear world. Some day I will be like JS

[@HBCrigs]

:) Only in this moment can you ever be like js

[@alexmorg5029]

Just got off a rafting trip down the Grand Canyon today with John. He’s the Funniest and most down to earth guys I’ve ever met. This video just is so amazing when you know the guy and that he’s not just acting in this. This is who he is and this is how he lives

[@davidrosner5126]

amazing short film. depicts the true spirit of people who love skiing. Much respect for this dude's life choices.

[@AS_caterpillars]

Would love to watch an hour special about this guy

[@MrMack201]

It's 6:30am East Coast Time, and the first thing I do every morning is listen to inspirational and motivational videos everyday. This by far speaks to me clear and loud. You need to make more videos like this. You need to interview John again. His life story resinates with me and probably everyone that loves YETI.

[@d33f15h]

John is my hero. I watch this video a few times a year to remind myself

[@jbchalk]

Awesome video, Shocklee! You will be guiding for another 100 yrs. Looking forward to seeing you in early march with Gavin, Jake, and the gang.

[@25northcenter]

Your work is first class. Please keep them coming.

[@joannaberska4593]

I will call this movie “Real freedom - but not for everyone”. Freedom, as showed us John, means not only living without money, phone or credit card but, what is more important, doing perfectly what you really love. The mountains looked dangerous for me but also amazing and marvelous. Only professional skier is brave and forceful enough to cope with height, wind and cold. We could see in John’s eyes that the impressive mountains are also mysterious and inspiring. His lonely journey through the white snowy space, where no one had been before, shows that freedom means possibility of free choice. There, in the mountains, it was the choice of safe way. For me, here in Krakow, it is independent choice of the correct way of life.

[@BelgianBeats]

John Shocklee is my spirit animal

[@muamerkapetanovic7940]

i just watch this video..end by far it's the most inspirational ski film ever👍👍👍👍i wish there is 2 hour movie about his winter pashion..We all can learn so much from this person..atleast how to stay humble and down to earth..👏👏i wish him all the best and meny amazing winters in his life⛷⛷🙂🙂

[@larskumpfert6890]

The last couple Telemark-butter-scenes are just expressing perfectly what backcountry means to me. I love these pictures, so beautiful.

[@GavinChapman]

Yeah Shocklee!! See you again in March buddy!

[@2treese]

This man is the embodiment of his own existence.

[@stefsterp]

Absolute beautiful cinematography and story! Age doesn't define the youthfulness of our heart.

[@Bernadettemckeevercoaching]

another epic one, guys. Shocklee - True spirit, character and real.

[@chrisgibson9033]

Easily one of my favorite youtube videos....

[@ryanboeding1318]

I forget when I started watching this but I watch it a few times every winter, what a life!! Plus we're both from Ohio!

[@epiphonesherton92]

Is this the same guy who is like an expert dory boat guide in the Grand Canyon?

[@yeticoolers]

Yep, you can also see him in 'In Current' kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5ykoXWNZqx2bpI

[@mikehooper4359]

Its gotta be - can there be two people with that look? That smile and eyes, attitude.

[@annlouisedelgado5354]

Yes this is my uncle he’s amazing and has the heart of my grandma and grandpa Shocklee all in one! Love you uncle John

[@larskumpfert6890]

He's my hero. That's pure harmony.

Nice footage and awesome skiing, OMG! So this is how John spends his winter months when he isn't running and rowing Rapids. Greeting from Montana.

[@MikeSiemens88]

Nice to see the gentleman rockin' the teles. Wonder if he knows ScottyBob in Silverton?

[@blkcoupequattro]

Without a doubt best ski film of our time Gen X or so, realizing the current facade everyone else is locked into...

[@japhyvansan]

Yup. Sounds familiar... creativity, inspiration, connection makes for a timeless adventure of life

[@grskier]

John is a ton of fun to ski with.

[@ghettojohnny]

what type of skiing is it when he lowers his knees down while coming down the mountain? special setup?

[@drewj50]

Doesn't come off as a guy that likes rap music for the beats and rhythms... Just like me!! Loved that part. Genuine dude.

[@Furnace_w]

Yeti needs to make one of these videos in Pointe Aux Chene Louisiana. Very beautiful place
