You bitch slid down the mountain dude God I'm so tired of these videos like omg I went to this crazy location And skid it, but then in the video you just bitch slide the whole thing Just don't go do it if that's how you're gonna ski it. No one cares!
haha somebody does not understand GoPro effect. This line is hella steep so no need to rush it. One wrong move and you will have a terrible outcome. Let me know when you hit a line like this tho!
@@stephenjacoby4650 You are missing the point.. Not saying the like is not sick or extremely dangerous but sliding side or hoping the entire line is not skiing. It's descending on skies.. If he was at least making turns then that would be skiing.. I hate when people say it's skiing because it truly is not.. I have had my share of lines I probably should not have ever done or attempted. Some will understand and some wont
I clicked on this just to talk sht about how easy the line is but for once a ski video was not clickbait. That was truly a consequential line and an absolute you fall you die line.
Lol at all these arm chair critics that have only seen TGR or Matchstick movies. No concept of the snowpack, navigation, route planning, technique, or anything else. Sick line. However steep it looks on camera it's always way steeper in real life.
You would too if it's only 15 ft wide, 40+ slope angle, and with huge cliffs dropping away on both sides! Talk about a no fall zone - this looked crazy af. I do hope they were able to let 'er rip once they got into that wide open lower section you can see in the 'map view'... the snow really did look super good.
Holy shit, dude! This looks so amazing and terrifying at the same time. Video never does the steepness justice. One wrong move here and it's a long way down. love it...well done!
nicely done. correction though- that line has been skied and ridden many, many times. I personally did it with my budddy TR back in 91, again with another buddy in 96, CMC Davey, who was on a split board and definitely was far from the first. There is nothing in the Telluride area that hasn't been skied or ridden, especially now that speedriding has come to colorado. i'm going to say that the cross couloir on Holy Cross is the sketchiest line i've skied in 28 years of living, skiing and 22 guiding backcountry here.
Hey, thanks for the info! Can you tell me more? I have more questions than answers from this! Lorne and I have heard similar things a few times before only for it to turn out being different...
"Wanna go first on this next pitch?" "..............................................................................................................................................s u r e. "
it always makes me laugh at how much steeper it is than it looks through a camera, like how when you take a picture of the full moon and it still seems small. this is STEEP AS HELL. hat off to you boys, this is no joke.
This is what I was just thinking. This didnt look like skiing or snowboarding. I was thinking "if they are just going to hop and slide like this, why dont they just take off their skis and snowboard and walk done". That being said, it's still very extreme what they did. No way would I try that.
I don't get this stuff. What's the point of going on some ridiculously steep slope just then to essentially step it down? Granted, it is a heck of a cardio workout so respect for that.
@@friderckcougher97 I disagree they made it down totally in control so clearly they have the strength and wit's to be there. Speed adds risk and this run is extremely dangerous, slowly hopping along is a great way to ride here that actually requires far more strength than just flowing it out.
I've ridden similar things like this at abasin, putting myself in your boots on this line gives me chills. These runs are not for the feint of heart, many won't understand but there is no option of falling. Falling, even just on your butt going slow, is a death sentence on runs like this.
@@user-do2rb6rp8z guess you've never ridden Gauthier or the steep gullies. It does indeed rival how steep this run is. Several spots at abasin are just as steep if not steeper. Including several areas of Montezuma bowl and several of the hike up spots riding the face into LoG. Not nearly as risky but definitely as steep if not steeper.
@@christopherhasbrouck3935 lol I have. Go use a slope angle shading feature on any good online topo map. You will see that a majority of the steep gullies are in the 35-45 degree range. Gauthier is the same. Yes - there are certain sections where you could push 50 degrees for a few turns on those runs if you take particular lines. Now look up the north face of S9 (38.02518°N 107.89112°W). You can clearly see that a majority of the weaknesses on the face are 50+ degrees with plenty of 60+ degree shading (aka massive cliffs). You are comparing apples to oranges
Wish there were something really challenging to see that has a lot of moguls and requires skiing without a "death wish." Recommend Wengen area in Switzerland using gondola to top of slope and the run down to Interlaken.
Been to T-Ride, never even saw this run, nor would I attempt it. I skied some narly stuff out West but this is hardcore- reminds me of some runs at Jackson Hole, Snowbird and Aspen Highlands. Exciting yes- worth a second brain injury- no thanks. T-Ride has plenty of thrilling, but relatively much safer in-bound runs. Areas like this are also known for avalanches. There was one the day we were there. I think it was a controlled det. but impressive to watch regardless. Literally go snow on me at the lift life and it was over a mile away. The map graphic you used in this vid. was a very nice visual. More people should do that.
Do you even ride dude? Think about how much steepness gets dulled on camera and how steep that looks still... Not sure how you expect someone to handle this run but these guys look like pros going down it to me and I'm literally a professional skier.
@@tengonadacluewhatsgutsprec1419 I call bullshit, imma hit up this line in january and actually ski it. without any sort of speed they have no control, and are MORE likely to fall on there ass and slide off the edge. also as a "professional skier" have you never heli skied? british columbia heli skiing makes this look tame as hell. *side note: Steepness does not equal difficulty, it usually just makes people unnerved, and make mistakes. now this run is narrow and has a couple blind turns i'll give you that, but it is nowhere near as steep as kant-mak. Nor does it have the moguls, or the trees. because those are what kill people-trees.
The rule is, if it looks scary on GoPro footage then it’s terrifying in person.
Thats so true, i tried taking a pic of a black piste i had done, and the photo looked like nothing, like some green piste.
You bitch slid down the mountain dude
God I'm so tired of these videos like omg I went to this crazy location And skid it, but then in the video you just bitch slide the whole thing
Just don't go do it if that's how you're gonna ski it.
No one cares!
Damn Skippy.
Looks like a lot of fun!
Nothing about that looked like fun
I live here lol
Same lol
That's not skiing.. it's descending on skies.. Jump hopping and sliding is not skiing..Huge difference and people should learn differents

@@Ken-db2hc yeah but you never skied anything this gnarly
@@Ken-db2hc I'm not sure that this line is even safely skiable with the speed that you would generate.

You're right about that! Thanks buddy!
@@austinschneider8996you just brake slid down the whole thing. Who cares
@@John-nk3ejSomebody doesn’t understand extreme exposure technical skiing
Well done boys. The video turned out great really captured the line well. Thanks for putting it out
My guess is the backcountry gate near the top of revelation lift or prospect express.
Wow really gnarly. And you guys bootpacked straight up this as well? I don’t know which is more impressive… well done
Thanks man. Yeah, booted it, with crampons. Arguably scarier on the way up. Tried not to look down.
It's a pretty technical hairy line. Boot packing it a smart option and seems you got it in good safe conditions. Nicely riden as well

@@austinschneider8996do you mind sharing what peak this is off? I live in the area and would love to give this a shot
I do back country snowboarding but I know for a fact I’d be shitting myself cameras never do it justice
Looked it up on google earth. 400m of >55° slope angle is insane.
Adrenaline! Boldly going places this man will never go. 😅
I'm sure in days past you'd a been just fine Joe!
"Wanna go first on this next pitch?"
"..............................................................................................................................................s u r e. "
Skier is making very tight compact jump turns, and the boarder is hugging the mtn at times just to rest. That's serious NFZ
it always makes me laugh at how much steeper it is than it looks through a camera, like how when you take a picture of the full moon and it still seems small. this is STEEP AS HELL. hat off to you boys, this is no joke.
Avalanche danger way too high. I lived, worked, skiied and climbed in these mountains. This is too dangerous!
How stupid, but just a nice day in the mountains sliding down the vertical rock. And, jump turns into oblivion are everyone's favorite.
This is amazing. Well done
Reminiscent of chamonix no fall zone. Sketch!
Thats crazy steep and hats off to you for doing it but id rather have a nice plush flowy ride down some powder than slide sideways down the steep.
Where in Telluride is this? This is not Bear Creek side across from Telluride so where is this ? Thanks . It’s not Seniors either. Thanks
Has Harry Keearny Rode this one yet ?
Not really skiing when your mostly sliding with the plank strapped to both feet.
Question: Is it worth the near death experience just for the "Woooo-who-s"?
while i respect it, simply doesnt look like fun to me personally.
Too steep for clean turns - it's only survival! There was zero flow!
What's the point of doing this with with a board if you're not even gonna go fast?
Yeah I'm good sticking to my groomers
Why? All the jump turns into a death trap? No thanks.
That doesn't strike me as enjoyable.
You might as well hike down. No skiing or snowboarding involved. Just hopping side to side in fear of their lives
This is what I was just thinking. This didnt look like skiing or snowboarding. I was thinking "if they are just going to hop and slide like this, why dont they just take off their skis and snowboard and walk done". That being said, it's still very extreme what they did. No way would I try that.
Big, big balls, but I'm gonna pass.
Wow man!!!! This is so legit!! Actually ridden nicely on the snowboard!!!
Love skiing Telluride, Love that fresh snow.
awesome. how'd you know about this line?
so exposed...
death defying...
I don't get this stuff. What's the point of going on some ridiculously steep slope just then to essentially step it down? Granted, it is a heck of a cardio workout so respect for that.
go pro's do not do it justice
God, that looks awful.
Now that is a fuckin line!!
Doesn’t seem fun
It's more of the type 2 sort of fun
Doesn’t seem fun at all
Well adrenaline is fun maybe the line not so much
They didn't have the strength for it, ok to push your abilities but this was far over their heads
@@friderckcougher97 I disagree they made it down totally in control so clearly they have the strength and wit's to be there. Speed adds risk and this run is extremely dangerous, slowly hopping along is a great way to ride here that actually requires far more strength than just flowing it out.
Great line. Pucker factor super high.
that didn't look fun
Why? So many rocks you’re practically hiking down a chute
wow thats steep
Lord have mercy I could never. My heart is racing and I’m laying in my warm bed!! It’s straight down!!
Steepest ever 😳
I see some brown patches on those pants. Holy cow dudes! Epic!
My feet are sweating. What a line.
How can that be fun?
im assuming you have also hit the SKY Choute's? those are fun as hell!!!
Just squirrel suit into the portal so you don’t miss the dragon next time lol. 🔥
Looks steep! Nice work buddy.
Thanks Max!
Very exposed. Scary, even on youtube. Thanks for sharing.
Why?
Viscerally stunning. So nice I initially watched it twice. I'll be back.
amazing skating on the snow magandang tingnan nakaka amaze talaga idol
my god, insane. talk about ZERO consequence
Fun fact that’s the coors light mountain
Doesn't look like it. Wilson Peak also isn't in Telluride, although it is visible from there
Amazing line. Total respect to the riders in this video. Insane how steep and exposed this looks. Really an impressive run.
Really whats the point if youre gonna just skid your way down
This is incredibly. Absolutely daring.
I wouldn't even walk that. In summer with no snow on it.
unreal boys
Really love Telly. Just wish it averaged more snowfall.
That's a legitimate big mountain line. Nice to se it being done.
Yeah, a fall up as the top of that could be very bad.
Roadrunner is right, it's so steep amazing run
Great skiing/boarding! Well done - and bravely!

Here we slow!
Impressive work
sooo cool

Thanks shawtys
holy shit
Respect.
Sick line
Truly gnarly. Well done.
Crawling down a mountain...when does the skiing start?
Wish there were something really challenging to see that has a lot of moguls and requires skiing without a "death wish." Recommend Wengen area in Switzerland using gondola to top of slope and the run down to Interlaken.
So rad. Did you guys post a trip report anywhere?
Nope, this is it

Who the hell walked all the way up or down that slope lol. U can see footprints in the snow
That’s how they got up…
How did you get up there though?!?! Waaaaat? Great riding guys
Its called skiing, you ride a car
They climbed up
What peak was this
S9 Peak in the San Juans
Both skiers were lucky they didn't catch an edge and die.
I’m wondering why you went up there. You didn’t really ski it; you side-slipped it.
id ski safe like that if falling meant death

@@jkill0993 falling off most trails means death, but people go into trees way more often, be scared of trees not heights.
@@Jrwhar i feel like there are also a lot more ppl falling into trees than off cliffs, since the majority of riders will never do anything like this
You side slipped it. Thats now "skiing". Lame.
man if they fall they die like 100%
Looks really scary. I couldn't do it. RIP Hilaree Nelson my hero
Lol you had no business on that mountain period.
What line/mountain is this?
S9, North Face, Sneffels Range
