25 minutes of fast POV Skiing at Telluride | no music, no talking
Telluride Ski Resort POV skiing tour. I focused on the longer and faster blue runs of Telluride or the runs to get you around. This was my first time to Telluride so many of these POVs are first time runs. I ended up putting 60k vertical feet over two days as I wanted to learn the resort on this trip. I now feel confident with my understanding of the terrain now so if you have questions, ask in the comments.
Colorado Plankers: When I first started youtube I made skiing videos and offroad videos. The offroad content took off so that became an offroad/overland channel (Colorado Mallcrawlers). However, I love skiing as much as I love exploring Colorado in my Jeeps. Colorado Plankers is my attempt to bring my skiing knowledge and my love of videomaking to an audience that is into skiing. If that's you, please subscribe! This channel only needs an audience to let me know there are people out there that want ski vids. Eventually I want to make insider skiing guides (see Keystone guides on Colorado Mallcrawlers), High Quality POVs, and I'd love to film abandoned colorado ski resorts/backcountry skiing cinematically. -Dewie

A Basin POV skiing tour | No Music, No Talking
Переглядів 1,1 тис.10 місяців тому
Arapahoe Basin is a resort I use to ski a lot, but this is the first time I cruised there. Unpopular opinion, but the greatest resort in Colorado would be Keystone and ABasin connected together. Anyway, the Legend is a fun place, especially if you’re in hiking shape. Colorado Plankers: When I first started youtube I made skiing videos and offroad videos.

A POV skiing tour of Winter Park | no talking, no music

A POV skiing tour of Winter Park Ski Area. Winter Park was looking especially scenic on this day (is it more scenic than Keystone, Crested Butte, Telluride, Aspens? well, we could debate that endlessly). We’ll start in the Winter Park area, then we will move on to Vasquez Ridge, followed by Mary Jane, and finally to the Panoramic Express/Parsenn Bowl. We will cover the Cirque, Eagle Wind, and t...

A Copper Mountain POV skiing tour. I will take you on the longer runs from the Copper Mountain side. Figured it can be used for pre-trip intel or just as some calm skiing ambiance. I'm working on getting these right and will continue to film them at different mountains and of different lengths. Run data was taken from the Slopes app using my iphone for the GPS data.

Steamboat Ski Resort’s Easiest Trail | Why Not Top to Bottom
Переглядів 4,6 тис.11 місяців тому
A skiing POV of Steamboat Ski Resort's Why Not trail. A 3.2 mile easy trail that meanders around the mountain. This long trail is perfect for beginners as it doesn't have any steep slopes to worry about (made skiing it fast tougher). Why Not also has lots of wildlife educational signs and I promise you will see a real moose in this video (filmed by me and a bit too close for comfort). Anyway, t...
New to skiing this season and nice to have a "tour" video like this for Colorado because I want to do my scouting before I go places, like avoiding terrain and long runs
Making more this season for sure
Meaning I like long runs* and can't wait I've started at Eldora and Snowy Range in WY
Great video, thank you. First visit to Steamboot in a couple of weeks and this video made the trail map make sense.
Glad I could be of service!
oH MAN!!! this ws awesome! loved no music and no talking!! you are a very good skier! dang! thank you for this! watched it twice!!! heading to copper soon!
Thank you! Got more coming… soon will figure out how to get the harder run footage documented better.
I’ve never been to Telluride. Thanks for taking me somewhere new
Of course! I hope to take you to more this season!
Awesome video!!! Watched it start to finish on the big screen! Thanks for including our runs together! Was nice to meet you!!!
Same buddy! I still really can’t believe that happened.
Looked like an amazing day to go skiing.
Yeah it was a great two days! Hoping they get some snow for the trees tho… but the main runs were perfect!
Great video, thank you. I just had my hip replaced. So I'm watching videos to motivate me to be in shape for next winter. Can't wait!
Heck yeah! You got this… I’m wishing you a speedy recovery!
@@coloradoplankers thank you
POV with no wide angle. Perfect.
I keep trying new stuff to get it right… the one I’m uploading now might be my best one yet (Telluride). I was able to use the full censor and adjust to the right field of view in editing.
Would be nice if you started with the whole map then a zoomed in perspective of the map for each map shot. And made clearer where you got off the lift and got on the lift on the map each time
I think this is the first one, but I believe I did that on other POVs. I at least did it on the one I’m uploading now. I also have written data about the lifts and base areas as I start the runs. Thanks for the feedback tho!
wish there were more videos like this. thanks dude.
I appreciate it! Uploading a new one of Telluride right now… probably needs a few hours for 4K to render.
Awesome! Love this format. Perfect for the pre trip intel.
Glad it was helpful! In telluride to make some more tomorrow
I'm sitting in Granby getting ready for my first time skiing in the West. If I said I was nervous I wouldn't be lying. I'm from New Hampshire and I drove across the coutry to do this. Your video was so helpful in building my confidence by seeing what I was getting myself into. You have a real talent for this and I enjoyed the no music no voice track, it allows me to absorb the details and the heading regarding the trails were also very helpful. Stay and ski well
I’m glad it helped, have an awesome time in Colorado! Thank you… I’m heading to Telluride tomorrow to film some more POVs. Video making has been something I have always enjoyed.
Super excited to be going in two weeks! Can't wait to shred some glades. Has anyone chugged champagne while skiing on champagne powder??
Lol, it has definitely been done! I’m in a hotel in that area right now and there is fresh snow on it.
Great video!
Thanks for watching!
Do you teach lessons because I lived in Denver for ten years and driving in snow is very scary for me.
Unfortunately I’m a full time railroader and that is what pays my bills. However, one day I hope to offer guided offroad trips as well as skiing guiding. I could offer snow driving instruction at that time, BUT I believe you have it. Next snow storm, go practice in a snowy parking lot.
Great video !
Thanks for watching!
So happy I found this video. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
??????.....rules of the road apply to ALL drivers....in every state.....colorado is not special or different.....left lane is considered the HAMMER lane....😮
Not all states enforce this like Colorado does. It’s that simple.
Can you explain downshifting on I70 descents? I drive an automatic and have never downshifted but don't want to wear out my brakes, especially driving in snow on the descents. Can you downshift while driving on the highway, and do you suggest just going down one from D?
You’re likely fine with what the automatic does in D. This is more of a manual driver thing.
Love this style of video man, no frills
Thank you!
love it. thank you-- using it to do my leg exercises to get in shape for a jan and march trip to Steamboat- great motivation- love the natural sounds of skis.... thanks for the scissor legs--🤠
I hope it helps you get ready for the trip!
Love this, especially the highlighted map before each run, making my way to Steamboat in a couple weeks, super helpful way to get around the whole mountain!
Glad it was helpful, Steamboat is awesome!
I love this content! No music, no nonsense. I feel like I’m right there with you. Great work. I’m using this video to map out our Jan 2025 trip to Steamboat.
Thanks for watching! I hope you have a great trip!
Great footage of a beautiful day! I’ll be there Christmas Day and I can’t wait!
Enjoy, it’s an awesome resort!
Are you for hire?
Winter is slower for me, but I have so much editing to do for the offroad channel (and filming/editing vids for this channel) as well as doing my normal job. It’s pretty tough for me to get time to do other things at this time, but I think you have it! Just go in good conditions and you’ll be fine!
I have to dri e to co from utah this winter to look at houses and I am terrified. Can u give me some advice?
This video is mostly what I do that works. CO does take care of the roads so watch the weather and take your time!
Awesome vid! Im going to colorado from florida to snowboard winter park in a few weeks. Thanks for getting this out there.
Have an amazing trip!
OK, then you might know…. I don’t do well with the altitude.. they say driving instead of flying might help. but I can’t figure out where the altitude starts ,,,coming from Nevada.
Nevada near Vegas is around 2000ft, through Utah you’ll gain 2-3k in elevation, in Colorado, you’ll gain a lot of elevation past Grand Junction. Drink lots of water, but the gradual increase while driving may help. Good luck!
Hey there, I’m from Houston Tx and me and my family are planning to go to frisco for the week of Christmas. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
That’s awesome! Be sure to check the weather and road conditions before heading out!
This was great.. really helps get your head back into the skiing mindframe... looking forward to seeing more :)
I'm glad it helps, I'll be working on new videos soon… just switched the Jeep from offroad to skiing mode.
Said it before, love the no talk, no music vids. Just POV letting me feel like I'm there on those skis. Thanx
Will do the Epic resorts this season… couldn’t afford both passes
I love the POV with No music or talking, and No wasted time showing your highway drive time. Just the sound of the wind and skis on snow. Makes people that can't be there feel like they're actually skiing. Thanx
Glad you like it! I’ll keep making them, but eventually I also want to make cinematic guides as I’m trying to make better videos.
Great footage. Offers great terrain recon for groomers. And yes, smooth is much better if you want people to watch. No one likes to get motion sickness
Thanks, I’m an offroad youtuber so I have good trail cams… stabilization has gotten so good. Thanks for watching!
I just became ware of your videos on 10/25/2024. They’re really great! Very informative, no annoying music, great sound and they really give the viewer a great skier’s perspective of each of the trails that you capture. I also like how you show the viewer in advance, the route that you’re about to take. You have nothing to apologize for about the quality of any of the videos that I’ve seen so far. Keep making great videos like the ones that you’ve done so far!
Thanks so much for the kind words!
Great job filming, I love these wide frame shots going down the hills you get a real good feel for the runs and the resort. Too many other videos makes you feel nauseous with close-ups and movement. And showing what run you’re on is awesome. Thanks for what you do.
I’m glad you like the format!
This video got me so pumped for ski season to start 🙌 🔥
Heck yeah!
I watch a fair number of DIY ski videos. Yours are amazing. I love the no music, smooth footage, and great editing. Soooo relaxing...thank you for doing these.
Wow, thank you! My offroad channel has been very busy, but I hope to keep refining these ski vids this winter. Mostly povs since I don’t have time to edit the guides i want to bring to the channel (35 offroad vids to edit right now).
Thank you for skiing safe and respecting all your fellow riders. Great example of how to have FUN!!!
I'm glad you noticed the safe riding!
Man i hate the slow signs the offen pose more of a hazard than they avoid lol 😂 😂 especially on icy days all the good snow gets swept off..,
Lol, I get that, but there’s no slow signs on the steeper stuff 😉
Thanks for this video ! I am from the UK and looking for next years destination, me and my son are both boarders , 60 and 25 years young and long cruiser blues hit the spot for us ! We were in Park City last year which was great but not so many cruisers there , Steamboat looks to fit the bill and your video confirms this to us 🤠 🏂 🎉
Glad it was helpful! I’m getting so far behind on the offroad/overland channel that I may need to focus on that this winter, but we will have guides on here one day. Thanks for watching!
Love how smooth and clear this is! I can't get out much from health issues so I'm really happy you're doing this.
I’ll have more next winter! Thanks for watching!
Why (the fuqk) Not is a trail indeed... forget about width here, a service road it is. SBS 2003 - 2015 😊
Yeah, I was a snow maker briefly and made good use of those service roads!
I am thinking about going to Steamboat with a ski club in January 2025. Never skiied out west before. This gave me a very good insight into what I might expect to encounter. At my age blues and groomed blacks are about as adventurous as I want to go. Excellent video! Thanks!!
You’ll have a great time!
Just the video I was looking for. Thanks for sharing! Like the trail name and stats,.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the tips! They'll definetly help me get back in the saddle. The new channel looks awesome and I can tell you're having a great time both skiing and filming. Keep up the great work!
Thanks buddy! I’m so glad you’re an awesome editor that makes poorly filmed 4WD videos easily watchable! Might need you over here on ski vids one day 😉
is the elevation too much for someone who has never been to colorado, or is that true for any resort in CO?
Copper ranges from 9700ft to 12300ft. You would need to adjust to it if you’re coming from a low elevation state. You’d probably have better luck at steamboat which is at a lower elevation.
Have the BOA on my new anon helmet and its great. Not a fan of BOA on ski or snowboard boots, had issues with my first set of ThirtyTwo BOA snowboard boots, the mechanism only lasted 2 season. Purchased Vans with normal laces and still using them 5 years later with no issues.
I get that, we’ll see how my BOA boots hold up. Day 35 so far… no issues.
Another like here for your format. Gives me a great feel for what to expect - well done!
Thank you! I’m glad people like them. Next year, I’ll start doing top to bottom difficult runs too.
