I genuinely can't remember the last time I went skiing, and yet here I am religiously watching your newest uploads and rewatching your old videos frequently. The editing, camera work, commentary and amazing chemistry you and your companions share just creates this amazing viewing experience! Very cool!

Krister is way more excited when he is in a video with you. Thanks for showing the judgements you go through when deciding what to ski. I think it is useful to share your experience (especially for us less experienced) and all the decision making that goes in before making the call to drop.

Can't stress how much credit should go to any and all camera work and cinematography. I honestly don't think the fifty holds a candle to these videos based purely on the story told through the camera work alone. Truly an exemplary piece of filmmaking

Man I got to get my ass over to Rivne’s looks so much fun, Niko I got a question when your not skiing with a guide do you just go somewhere and pick something to ski? And how do you know if the snowpack is safe?

@Nikolai_Schirmer Жыл бұрын

Yep. We just do the work that the guide does (having learnt that over decades in the mountain with great mentors). Checking what the snow is doing. It’s a complex evolving science, but the basics are pretty easy to understand. Essentially you can know whether the snow is very dangerous and very safe, but then there’s a whole grey area that’s more tricky. Even the best get it wrong sometimes, so you need to accept that if you choose to go into avalanche terrain. With our without a guide.

@thomasmoll8822 Жыл бұрын

If I’m being brutally honest: The warm-up lap looks like way more fun in terms of skiing than going down these couloirs more or less in a straight line…

@attemoilanen4848 Жыл бұрын

@Nikolai Any pieces of wisdom to share with us what on went wrong in your decision making process, or was it just bad luck with the (wind?) slab release? Apparently the other skier in the gully/couloir to the skier's left did manage to get to the bottom before Krister dropped and did not have an avalanche hit him/her from behind.

@Nikolai_Schirmer Жыл бұрын

Well it didn’t really go wrong hehe, just not very smooth. When you do a ski cut the aim is to release any slabs that might be there. That’s that whole conversation we had up top. We waited for there to not be anyone below. We agreed that if he had entered from the other side it would have been more elegant though :)

@craigmccallum2202 Жыл бұрын

Love watching these things. Amazing shots and riding. Glad it worked out, cause that little slab release at the top could have gone so wrong. That was the worst ski cut I have ever seen. Also I notice you guys have a habit of digging snow pits at the bottom of 1000 M slopes you are going to ride. Any information gained from these profiles is pretty much useless since the conditions in the start zones will be completely different. Stay safe out there so you can keep these coming.
