7 ай бұрынAfter a harrowing incident leads to a critical rescue on his first day in AK, Dakine team skier Karl Fostvedt seeks out further education to expand his skills in big mountain terrain. With the goal of becoming the best mountain man and backcountry partner he can be, Karl blends his high octane ski skills with the calm and patient mindset of a guide and throws down on some of AK's most daunting terrain.

This guy is better than any skier or boarder I've ever seen. Effortlessly finding lines on such extreme terrain!

Lets goooo! Love seeing athletes turning a focus to safety, avalanche education, and mountain skills beyond skiing, and then telling stories about doing that is just the cherry on top. Setting a solid example Karl, thank you!

The way he leapt out and hugged Karl as soon as he was dug out ... solid rescue.

Beautiful skier. Spends almost as much time in the air as on the snow!

That was the coolest downhill action I've seen since Ramón said "Oh, I love gravity" in the original Happy Feet (2006).

Ohh shit! The other guy with snowboard was lucky indeed. Not to die on Avalance. Bit more snow, and... Looks fun but very dangerous. Been once in avalance in Val d'isere off piste (with local guide and a group of 4 skiers). Then there was only pipers in the neck, no airbags. That was my last run in off piste. Life won over adrenaline.

Wise one there. Looking at the bigger picture after his body can't take the abuse of a professional athlete, but still committed to the mountains

Crazy - far out man! Probably only a handful of people in the world can ski this - at least like that!

With all due respect, the snowboarder's line sucked, and he carried no speed and slid into a crevasse looking like a kook way over his head. Literally.. The rest of the video was epic.
