Watching this getting crazy excited for the season again. Jimmy your videos were mega helpful last year when I arrived in Vancouver from the UK having never skiid a day in my life. After a few lessons, 30 days on the mountain and obsessively watching your content I was skiing the whole mountain and taking my friends on some of the lesser known runs you put in your vids. My English friends here laugh that all my Skiing lingo clearly comes from your vids e.g. “ripping some groomers”. Your trees vid helped me progressively level up in the glades and I found my love for it there. I rounded off the season with Ruby Bowl and Pakalolo and can’t wait to get back at it. Hope to chug some liquid courage with you on a chairlift this season.

So happy I was part of your ski journey and it sounds like you've made some ridiculously fast progression, can't wait to hear about how much you level up this season. I apologize for all the ridiculous ski terminology that is now etched in your brain 😂😂😂. See ya up there!

Howdy James and Laura, I'm a new subscriber and an old Tahoe guy from the late 80's, Squaw and Alpine Meadows. My short skis were 205cm slaloms, everyday skis my 208 GS skis. It took me awhile to "get" you, nobody can be this frenetically positive and energetic all the time, but you truly are. Keep up the awesome videography while I remember my old days through your "today" lens. You're lucky to have Laura living life with you .. looking forward to more.

Hey Craig! Thanks so much for following along and I'm happy I could bring ya back to the glory days. I'd love to check out Squaw and Alpine one day! I should do a video riding in 208cm skis, y'all were legends back then. We've got it so easy now on our shaped skis hahha. I also feel very lucky to have Laura, many more adventures to come!

@riseandalpine Жыл бұрын
Hey Daniel! It totally depends on what types of runs you like. I'd reccomend watching some of my best tree runs, best groomers and steep skiing videos and see what looks fun to you. If people are different skill levels, I find that Crystal Chair and 7th heaven on Blackcomb and Harmony on Whistler are great places for people of different levels to enjoy a run and meet at the bottom.

Yo Rise! You gotta throw your mount as far forward on your helmet as possible, in my opinion it gets a more realistic POV shot
@riseandalpine Жыл бұрын
I totally agree Cole! My helmet just doesn't have a flat part at the front. I also found that the go pro pushing down on my my goggles bothered me. Might be time to buy a tighter helmet so I can improve the mount setup. How do you like the chest mount view compared to the head mount?
