Helicopter Skiing and a Small Rescue
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 жов 2024
- Last March I was invited along to guide some skiers on a Helicopter ski tour of the Wasatch. In the middle of the day someone in the helicopter got a call from a friend who had broken his leg while skiing by himself in the backcountry. We flew to his rescue, plucked him off the mountain, and delivered him to his car. Then we resumed our powder filled day. I shoot about 5-10 videos every year that never make it to the channel. This was one of those videos. It seemed out of place for Mediocre but after recently watching my insta version of this video I decided to finish it, which wasn't hard since I had completed about 80% of it last march.
"Cool as we get"... Flying in a matte black heli while skiing sweet lines. I'll take being that cool.
Where's the suffering?? It doesn't feel right to watch one of your vids without someone hating life. Apparently, I enjoy your pain.
oliver krell hilarious!!!
Somebody broke their leg so it’s ok.
This is by far my favorite channel on UA-cam
Channel is getting some traction lately. Great to see, your content is superb. Come to Arizona and make some vids.
I wish that mediocre meant that I had friends with a helicopter too. Awesome vid!
I’ve always loved Utah. You guys are living the dream. Never change.
I was working hard, and watch you guys fly around to a few spots, recognized the red helicopter from all your vids, figured it was you having some fun up there!
"We did a lot of vert, all of it mechanized..." Pretty new to the channel, gotta say I love the humour.
I met the curly haired all in black helo pilot flying the Airbus once in Port Angeles WA...very exotic and impressive fella. He exuded adventure!
Good deed done for the day... one lucky skier that you guys were there to help. Nice video
Love it as always guys!! AND your flying with the Savage!!!! How cool is that, wicked heli pilot and all round cool dude. I love how he has the thing nosed in to the snow!!! Cheers!!
That black heli is so badass
Its Batmans ..... ; )
21K subs CONGRATS. I remember when it was less than a thousand. You earned it
Looks like a lot of fun playing in the snowfall in Utah and I hope the guy who got hurt is okay now, nice viewing now.
You guys get me so stoked. I finally just got some used skins and can't wait to be making some fresh tracks.
Top quality as always. Adding MM is awesome, dudes a beast!
The one thumbs down is from somebody who doesn’t like mountains and fun.
Actually it was someone who thinks Marshall Miller is kind of a douche.
Thanks for the mechanized interlude Danny
Walking downhill towards that rotor sketches me out
Great video. For April fools they should summit the most treacherous peak in the US: Florida's highest point...
Love the choice of music on this video
What Is the music called????
That was epic! Glad you decided to share the video! It was awesome 👌🏻
4:23 the smoothest walk in ski boots since Yetti
I think this is what happened here :
Danny thought that the content might be little meh, vibes of just another heli-skiing video. He looked at the group and said, "I need a volunteer to jump out of the heli 40 feet up and then we film a cool rescue". One of the base jumpers probably went "Sure son, that sounds like the shit....here, hold my phone"
Win / Win. Danny gets some spicy content and the base jumper gets his gravity fix without dying.
I'm a big fan of Marshall Millers stoke level! haha great video Danny!
That looked like so much fun!
Just in time for ski season yeow!
i love the smell of utah pow in the morning. it smells like... victory..
You guys have so much fun - nice! (Jealous)
I feel like eventually I'll run into you guys, but you guys do much crazier stuff than I do lol and i'm still really younger (26). You guys need to go to Canada!
Have you heard of Telescope Peak in Death Valley NP? Its the tallest peak in the park and it is climbable from Badwater Bason/Lake Manly, which is the lowest point in the USA 11k up. I have planned the route twice but always had to scrape it due to weather in the area while I was in Death Valley
What could be better than having a helicopter?
Two helicopters of course...
Hey.. nice ‘merch’ there! Great skiing video.
Apparently Kenny G flies around Utah in a matte black helicopter these days, cool!
you dropped him off at... his car? i hope it's the left leg that's broken
This is super sweet!!
Would you consider making a playlist/channel for the more pure adrenaline-oriented adventures? I know I'd love to see them.
You guys should do the 7 Devils in Riggins Idaho and summit all 7 Devils!
Mechanized Vert for the win!
Glad the guy you rescued was ok, but that’s why you always ski with a partner.
Or the phone number of your friend with a helicopter.
Love the content man, keep it up!!
2:30 Does this type of hovering have some special name? I am always curious how a pilot can know in advance that he has enough gap between the main rotor and the slope surface which is used as pivot point, hovering in this way.
anyone know the name of that last song? found the first one (stood our grounds and danced by nylonia, for those that are curious) but couldn't find the second one. groovy beats
Thanks 4 sharing that😉✌👍
"I dont know how many thousands of feet we skied."
All of them :-p
Random question: What are the crampons that they wear on their running shoes in past episodes? My microspikes just weren't cutting it up the bowl on Mt Baldy here in socal and really need to upgrade. Thanks!
ProfessorPepper not sure what they use but the kahtoolah minis work well with my running shoes
@@bend6799 Thanks! Will research them
Great to see such a fun day! As much as I enjoy watching your suffering...
Rickey as in Rickey Gates with almost no beard?
Rad!
TYPE 1 baby!
So how much snow did this recent storm drop on them slopes
What? No exercise in this one?
God damn 🔥
well SOMEONE has money
Such a "mediocre" day.
Mediocre Mo’s
Widen your stance
You're not doing any favors about how people in the community perceive you....
Not psyched about heliskiing. Walk or go to the resort IMO.
