Outstanding. Loved the way you picked your route down, avoided the hard rocky bits and maxed out on the snow ridges. The helicopter at the end was a nice touch too - how many skiers can it carry?

@kurtschmid 10 ай бұрын

Thanks man! The helicopter can fit 5 plus the pilot, since the Andes are so high , you need to do some split drops on peaks over 13,500 feet high 🏔️

@@andrewrivera4029 This is pretty low grade bait if its clickbait. It didn't look like corn or hardpack to me (was barely even variable)...not deep but he didn't say bottomless. 'Endless' was used and 4k continuous vert sure feels endless to most non-pros. Ive just grown tired of watching a video, reading through the comments and finding so many people more willing to offer critique than something positive.
