Woah it looks like there wasn’t a lot of snow out there at this time! Glad there was quite a good base.

Thanks for the video! The trail looks nice. How long do you think it is? And why do you say the "only real green trail"? Is the rest of the green pretty much bunny slopes with carpet access only?

1:35 how long did you waited ?

Tahum!

Had a crash about 6 years ago that resulted in 2 broken ribs, a fractured femur, and a concussion leaving me with double vision for 6-8 weeks. Had I not been wearing a helmet, the damage could have been permanent, or possibly fatal. I kept the dented helmet and will show it to anyone who's interested, saying "that could have been my skull".

Helmets on the slope are so common now, seeing someone without one is more taboo than riding a motorcycle without one. Pure stupidity.

As a ski patroller myself, I will say thank you for stopping to help her. Even if you didn’t feel calm you did excellent. 👍🏻👍🏻 You did fantastic!

They just lay snow out on the track? How’s there snow just on the track but everywhere else is no snow ?

Black Diamond run 🤣

I fell so many times this winter (on midwestern ice) and slammed my helmet because i was trying to learn snowboarding. So much so i got whiplash (from my masseur) in my neck and he told me to lay it off for a few weeks. It would have been me laying there had i not been wearing a helmet. Even a basic one wirhout MIPS. Wear your helmet folks. You only have one head and it does not regenerate (unlike a bone fracture).

Question; why is there no snow on the ground anywhere else? So strange?

Don't see any reason why you should not wear a helmet and also carry a whistle with you in the event of an emergency. An Avalung and Avalanche transceiver is also good if you are in BackCountry or where Avalanches can happen or you can get stuck in tree wells. There's a good chance any ski patrol in the area will have one active. Don't really need the Avalung or transceiver if you're just doing normal groomed runs like this. On the helmet, you should have one at all times. And if you don't think you look 'cool', get over it. All the pros wear them, so who are you trying to fool with your backwards cap or cool hair style, lol? Always chuckled that skateboarders wouldn't wear helmets because they thought it wasn't cool, when the best skateboarder of all time (Tony Hawk) always wore one with pads (even when he did Jackass stunts).

Love Jack Frost. But there is a way to ride that place to avoid the weekend crazies on weekends.

In Europe we all wear helmets. Everyone except ski patrol sometimes

I wear a helmet when doing any fast sport. I fractured my skull skateboarding without a helmet. I lost my sense of smell forever from that injury. I also still get vertigo years later. A helmet probably would have decreased the chances of getting TBI. I feel for this girl. It really sucks to be in that position. Hope she recovers fully

If this is called a black run in the US.. here in Europe we call this a blue slope, very easy. Black starts at 45% gradiënt here 😂

Y’all need to wear helmets. Damn. Being “cool” is not worth this shit.

I will never do anything moving over 10-15 miles an hour without a helmet .... people want to wear a beanie when they ski to look cool, and that's the dumbest decision you could ever make . interpersonal collisions or colliding with a tree can be the end of your able bodied life

Typical east coast snow. Don't miss it.

Omg that’s me and my friend in the white and yellow! Thanks for helping us out! Glad we got that skier to safety

Helmets are not mandatory?

you did well. thanks for helping her!

We call those blacks greens in wyoming

Thankfully most of the people I see out East in NC/WV are wearing them now. You're kind of looked at like the odd one out if you don't have a helmet these days, when before people looked at you funny if you were wearing one. I took a pretty nasty fall a month ago and broke my tailbone, hit my head as the second part of the impact, but with the MIPS helmet I was completely fine and it probably saved me from a concussion. Good on you for stopping, I see a lot of people yard sale and everyone just keeps going by them. Always good to check on people, can at least help them collect their skis if they slid far away, and worst case scenario you can assist if they are injured.

But you lose cool points for wearing a helmet! /s

I couldn’t believe my eyes, an obviously fake strip of snow down a mountain? Where is this? What is the temperature outside?

I mean it’s not easy to stay calm, for many reasons. I was a mountain guide for a while, it wasn’t my profession, it was really just in name, I had a guy lacerate his hand all the way across, fully to the bone as well as a laceration on the forearm down to the bone, his helmet was cracked all the way around, slurring his word and such. It was my first incident, calling it in I was probably talking a bit faster than I should have, luckily we got the guy stabilized, they brought a helicopter in and took him out. My heart was definitely pounding though, I had no idea if he had any internal hemorrhaging or what, I just wanted him to make it out without anymore issues. You did a good job though.

I would like to further the argument that helmets are extremely important by giving you an example: There are kids that bike on my street daily (middle school to high school aged kids) who bike at night, wear zero reflective gear, and no helmet or lights. My road is busy. Not super busy, but like 40mph and near a lot of stores that people are coming out of. A few years ago there was a girl literally just coming out of the community entrance, next to the fence, when a drunk driver hit her on the side and she FLEW off her bike. Guess what she was wearing? Dark colored clothes, shorts and a t shirt, no lights, no helmet, no reflectors. You know what else is crazy? She died. She was 27 years old. There is now a shrine in front of the entrance of my neighborhood there for roughly three years now because of it. All because some kid didn’t wear the right gear. You know what else happened recently? Another crash. And it was in an INTERSECTION near me. Like one with a light and 45mph roads. Another kid got slammed into when someone was doing a u turn over there last week. But he survived with minor injuries and only two breaks, one to his wrist and one to his ribs. Guess what he was wearing? A helmet. Yes I’m aware that the visibility clothing like lights and reflectors will not protect you in the event of a crash, but they GREATLY reduce the chances. Prevention is better than treatment. And in this case, the driver was able to swerve because he saw this kid because of the lights. If he’d seen nothing but black, the kid would have been run over full on and still probably would’ve died. But he wore the right stuff. Moral of the story: but a goddamn helmet

Lifeline is a classic.

Im effed. I have a Size 8, yes, 8, head. Man did they give me crap at Basic Training. They had them, but had to go to the warehouse. I was doing pushups for 20 minutes with NCOs taking turns yelling at me. Motorcycle helmets, full face, I can find, I found a bicycle helmet once, lost it.

backflip b anay b😁

Good job! Looks cold

Niceeee

Nicee

I could see this as a learning lesson for patrol. Need to have resourcing coming as soon as the first responder arrives. There is a lot of waiting time That could have be organized at the first phone call.

01:18 !!! I too love the images from the lift! I shot similar footage in Nozawa Onsen! I sympathize!

In Colorado we call those the strips of death.

cool

Those look like artificial snow 🧐

bro u are actually so underrated you need more subs with these good quality vids! first one ive watched to far but it is great! keep going buddy. just earned a sub!

Listen kids, you may think helmets arent cool; you know whats not cool? Being a vegetable.

Jack Frost is a great mtn with great people. They just need a better park.

This is why if you are willing to stop for injured skiers, there is no reason to not get some first aid training. You did well to tell her to hold still, but direct pressure to stop the bleeding (gentle in case of skull fracture) could be vital.

natural selection. that s what you call skiing without a helmet.

Buddy that a green trail frost is a joke

Those are what we call Blue Runs in the Rockies.

Just did Sunday river Maine last Thursday so icy and fast. I was on 12th day out after a week in aspen and slid thirty yards head first had to bend a pole to stop from going in the woods. My wife’s uncle with fifty years experience did same and went across a busy trail . Our friend ended up with two broken legs rod insertion surgeries still hospitalized. East snowfall and temperature fluctuations are way dangerous this season

Helmets are tested to hold in one piece when dropped with an artificial head inside onto an anvil, at about 12-14mph. In two separate studies, the average skier was found to travel at 27-33mph. Force increases exponentially with speed. And the thing that causes concussion & potentially death is the brain slowing down rapidly inside the skull. There is no test for this with helmets & no manufacturers make such a claim. You'd need car sized crumple zones & air bags for such. There is simply no way for a thin plastic & EPP helmet to prevent a brain injury. Any claim to the contrary is just mixing up a small number of random events, and correlating these into causation.

Yes, sadly, this is a black run in PA. This is why I live in PA but almost never ski in PA. Wear a helmet, people. It is really easy and cheap ones are available online. They also rent them at the ski area. Get a MIPS helmet if you can.

A nice video, thanks for sharing. Always great to see conditions at Jack Frost - you'll get the stitching issue figured out sometime I'm sure (this is why I don't use 360° cameras in my videos). All the best and God Bless. 🙏❤🇺🇸
