The Ski Season Started Early - My first turns of 2024!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 чер 2024
- The recent storm in the West missed Whistler Blackcomb but 30cm of glorious fresh fell in Vancouver's North Shore. I busted my balls too Cypress and climbed up Strachan before it melted. This is the earliest I’ve ever been on my skis in my life and I couldn’t be more stoked to be skiing again in the sea to sky. Honestly, I am shocked with how good the turns actually were. I somehow managed to ski a few hundred metres of untouched pow. I can't believe it's October. Sorry ski bases, it was worth it!

This is what the best day all season in New England looks like.
😂😂😂
I don't know about that, but it's certainly what backcountry skiing in Massachusetts typically sounds like.
Yeah at Martock or Wentworth (Nova Scotia) this would definitely be one of the best days all season. Just pathetic LOL
More snow then Pennsylvania gets all year
More than I’ve ever seen on Mount Washington
Without the crowds cypress is actually such a dope mountain. Stoked for this season!
Cypress has lots of great terrain. I'm keen to give it a real ski when it opens up. I haven't skied it since 2011.
@@riseandalpine it's been my go to for the last couple of years, though I've gone sporadically since I was a kid. Honestly, the weekends aren't even worth it anymore unless you love skiing with screaming children and families. Lol. That being said once you get to some of the more advanced terrain, there is virtually no one so that's always nice, but the lift lines have rivalled Whistler on weekends at times.
The night skiing on weekends (or any day) is still well.worth it though. Weekdays are also bliss on a nice bluebird.
I was both surprised and not surprised by this video -- surprised that people had actually tried to ski on just the 12 cm dump Cypress got this week, and not surprised that Rise and Alpine made a video about it, haha! I've skinned up Cypress in late November, after they've opened up one run but most of the mountain is still closed, and even at that later date I've _still_ gouged my ski bases, so I knew this was going to end up being a shark surfing video... But we are entertained!
Somebody had to try :). Glad you enjoyed it, I had a blast... can't say the same for my skis 😂😂.
You absolute madman, I love the enthusiasm, I am hyped for the upcoming season!
Let's goo Jeff!! Big season this year!
Just love the guts and the enthousiasme you have for the plaisir of skiing. Just like you once said " you are a little boy in a candy store " . I was almost crying to ear your new skis screeming at each turn you make. Just wait and be patien Nov 23 is arround the corner . So Amazing...
For skiers, the sound of rocks is the most cringe sound in the world hahhaa! No damage to the core :). Nothing a little p-tex can't fix.
Third first tracks! Welcome back; hope you have a great ski season - looking forward to following your humorous exploits.
Thanks! Hope you have a great season as well.
Love the first turns of the year cannot wait for some more of the best ski content. Love the vids ❤
Thanks Jaden!! Only a few more weeks then the ski content will be coming in HOT!
@@riseandalpine you should adventure down to baker for a day this year it is full of awesome terrain and I love it!
Sooooo siiiiick! Saw the snow two days ago and got stoked! Didn't realize someone would actually go up too hahaha I'm glad someone has my home mountain up!
Glad I could scope it out for everyone staring from the city!
As always, super rad and fun video. Sitting on the couch drinking coffee in Victoria waiting for opening day in whistler. By far the best channel I'm subscribes to. Keep up the rad work. Nov 23rd can't come soon enough.
I'll give ya a coffee cheers to that. See ya on the 23rd!
I really don't know how long it took you to walk up the mountain, insane respect for doing that... can't wait for chair lifts to open again
Riding the chairlift is going to feel much better LOL!
Wow, talk about motivated . . . I'm impressed. Wish I had the energy this guy has.
Some people call me a border collie... maybe that's just cause of my hair... not sure hahhaha
And so it begins! New poles look great!
So glad I snuck out :). I saw some snow blowers going to work on 7th heaven this morning. It's -10 up there!
My guy you are a straight vibe. Keep rockin
Thanks brother!
Stellar work
Thanks Mike!
Looking forward to your videos this season !!
Thanks Matias! So excited to get making new videos again.
Love this!
I love this too!
Bro I love the excitement your spreading! Man I miss Canada! Greetings from Germany.
Thanks brother! Stoked you're tuning in from Germany!
Love it! Great vid
Thanks Shayne!!
Nice effort. Thanks for sharing my friend.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the effort and amazing views, but man, the joy of carving fresh pow ..... you capture it very well. @12:06 fluffy reminded me of the same giggles I had from last season hahaha
Powder giggles make life so good!
Let the season begin. Welcome back.
Thanks Stuart! This was a very very premature start to the season but I'm thrilled about it. Unfortunately yesterdays dusting is already melting... a few more weeks before we get at it for real!
Upcoming ski season hype!!!! Saw the early season dump on the mountains and wondered if anyone was up there riding some early pow-Sick vid!
You couldn't see my hair from the city when you were looking up?
@@riseandalpine haha apparently not😂
lets goooooo! looking forward to all of your content this year! Those are some heavy skis for shift bindings lol
I love heavy skis! And suffering apparently hahaha. Hoping we got some new snow soon, this round is already melting LOL
those aren't shifts...
James that was halarious, rocks, rocks, rocks, rocks, where am I goin'. Nice lines today! (on the bottom of yer skies)
It absolutely rocked....
love ur energy
Cheers dude!
Love it
Well I wasn't expecting to see my first video of skiing in this season just yet, but congratulations of getting some early skiing in! Think I'll wait for the lifts to open though... 🙂
Thanks Nigel! Probably a good call to save those bases and those ACL's when the snow base gets a little deeper :)
As a seasons pass holder at Cypress this puts a smile on my face.
I'll be back for some real chairlift turns this year. Cypress rocks (no pun intended).
So sick!
That would be super fun!
Bro really dove in on that boot sniff 😂🤣 Epic video, epic stoke!!
Lil bit of Ptex goes a long way!!
Who need smelling salts when you have stale gear!
He even went back for round 2 haha
dude insane stoke, also crazy 50k view in like 2 days you are really blowing up stoked to see the content this season
Thanks brother! Really happy to see so many people enjoying a video. I'm really psyched for more snow to fall so we can really get the videos rolling :).
@@riseandalpine yesss the stoke for the season is real, got the ikon this year so im trying to hit most of the Canadian ones definatley LL/SSV and sun peaks and revy and red, panorama is iffy idk yet but if you had to move to one interior bc town instead of travelling from ontario 30+days a year what would you pick?
After seeing your videos I've booked a 7 nights at the Fairmount 2nd week in April. Can't wait.
Love your videos. Even more your comments like: this is my rock skiis now 😂
Yoooo Tommy! That's sick. April rocks! Lot's of sunshine and snow.
Awesome!🔥
Yewwww!!!!
the ENERGY! Awesome! :-D
Thanks brother. Love the tache!
never disappoint 👐
Ayyeee thanks!!
Man stoked for you, I wish I could of got it in, but I had to work!
Save up those SICK days. The season is here :)
How cool james. Living the skiers dream. How crazy is the weather. It should be 25 here in oz now and it’s windy and rain max 18. Big cyclone in the pacific. One day love to say high up in whistler
Were starting early... A cyclone? That sounds interesting!
Legend
Rock On!
This got me stoked for the season lo!! Can't wait!
Johnny Utah. Let's go brother!!!!!
Sick 🔥🔥🔥
So psyched!!
Yeah boiiii... he's back!!
Yeehaw!!!!
You lucky bastard! Have to wait for December here in the Pyrenees, if we’re lucky snow will be waiting.
Blessed to be on the West Coast!
Lets go!!!! Ski season is here!!
We're back baby... well maybe a few more weeks because this snows already melting hahaha
Nicely done, we just got a good dump across the way on the Vancouver Island, can't wait for a great season here on the coast!
Unreal! I'm hoping to come your way for Cain and Washington this winter!
You're a beaut dude!
Ayyee Thanks!
It's definitely something I would do especially jonesing all summer
Us skiers... we just can't help ourselves!
Damn! How did I not not jist discover this channel?
Greta vibes and looking forward to seeing more 🤙
Yo!!! super stoked you found my channel. Looks like you're doing some super sick work as well. You still out in Japan?
😂 yeh was watching Lucas Catania video and he mentioned your hot sauce! And I was like who this hot sauce guy? Searched your channel and I’m like damn! How I didn’t know this sooner? Love you style, super random and great vlogging 🤙
Yeh I been living in Japan nearly 10 years now so if you ever make it over here reach out 🤙
Grinding the gnar bro
All grinding no skiing hahaha
Woohoo! If it's looking good this early, I'm gonna totally be a glass-half-full guy and say by March it'll be EPIC 😎
El Nino be damned.
Glass half full always! Heck if 30cm feels this good, all we need is a base of 90 right?
Skiing in October is definitely a dream. Can't wait for another season of pow
Hell ya! Will you be skiing Whistler again?
@@riseandalpine wish so. We're headed over to Colorado this year to meet up with some family
Just hit October turns at Apex. 205 months of earned ski turns. My hometown is North Vancouver. Great area. Cool feeling skiing in October. Seek and Enjoy.
Mike! Sick to hear you slashed in a few turns at Apex. Is it worth the drive out or is it just as barren?
So grateful to live in Washington where we have big volcanoes to ski this time of year
those same volcanos stretch from the southern tip of south america all the way to the end of the aleutian islands in alaska.
Want to go for pre-season volcano climb?
@@riseandalpine hell yea!
@@riseandalpine shoot me a time and a place and we can get after it my dude🤙
Haha the stoke is real!! Doing the same over here in northern Sweden, just all we get is a big ice sheet over our mountains for now but stoke is still the same. Peace from the other side of the pond ✌️
Doesn't matter what form the snow is in if the skis are sliding. So stoked to that you're tuning in from Sweden. Would love to visit one day!
Sick video. Love how many people were heading up!
Can't believe your skis are wrecked already - is that just one season you got out of them??? whats next? I'm looking at bent 120s... some sick deals on last years model (which is the same but different graphic) at the moment...
Yo Tristan! Hilarious to see all the stoke from everyone trying to sneak some goofy turns in. The Nordica's cracked because I slash landed at speed on a shark. Pretty unlucky but they stayed together for an entire season and I'm sure they'd still last for life. I'm lucky to be getting hooked up with another set of twigs so have the privledge of phasing the 115's out, even though I love them. Bents are a sick ski for powder. I find them a little to soft for harder days, but you can't beat their powder performance.
We got same here but here in Koots is Dry Snow. Champagne season is about too hit here in Rossland BC.
Viva Ross Vegas, the champagne is on it's way!
Great video, if I was lucky enough to live in Vancouver I would have done the same thing - just not so well 🙂
Thanks Paul! Wish I had ya out here with me.
Hahaha I only hit like 1 rock the whole time, you had some interesting terrain choices 😂😂
You must know how to gravitate!
canadian rock! awsome coating of powder! on your runs', who cares about rocks', put on the band rush ' and rock on! peace
Rock On!
sick
Thanks Thomas!
My first time I tore my first ACL was on a Rock off trail openning season at Snow Summit. My 2nd ACL was because of that.
Sorry to hear that Frank. Rocks surfing is sketchy as hell, there is no doubt about that.
Love it. Have to get some skis. Any tipps on where to get some cheap (or used) touring skis that I could use for such shallow pow, here in vancouver?
Your best bet is to find some old skis with (frame) touring bindings on them on facebook marketplace or craigslist!
Norquay opens on the 3rd, one week to go! Stoked!
Should I drive out there... Twist my arm!
@@riseandalpine A 10 hour drive to shred the Cascade chair? Absolutely! Sunshine and Louise open on the 10th too, bring the rock skis if you make the trip to those hills!
I must say Vancouver looks like a superb big city for a skier.
It's the ideal ski/life balance if you need to be in a city!
Hoping it dumps on Whistler all szn. Need that good snowpack by the time I get there in March
I hope it dumps too! March is a great time to visit.
I might have to get out there because yeah I've been noticing the amount of snow on the mountains recently.
Because of the sun it's even more shallow than it already was. But, one or two more snowfalls and we should be rocking and rolling.
@riseandalpine yeah and also it's a whole lot nicer if the lifts are running!
Stoke level 10, getting me fired up! 2 weeks I’m catching my flight from Toronto to rossland for the winter 🤙🏼
A winter in Rossland!!!! So sick dude. Hopefully I'll see you out there.
Hell yeah dude
#respect - Abasin opens on Sunday. Bring on the hordes.
Right on! Wish I was closer to Abasin so I could join in the chaos!
so sweeeet
Still stoked!
i bet
@@riseandalpine
Skiing in October is nuts
Way too ridiculous hahaha
Hilarious. Surfin' when the tide is Out.
Hit the tides just right hahaha
Rocktober
Viva Rock Vegas!!!
Wow I'm SO jealous we just got small dusting here in Tahoe Cal -- I'd honestly never heard of Cypress looks sweet - dig u r style dude Only change I'd make is Id washed that nice Hott sauce (I too love hot sauce) down w/ a swig of hazy brew or ta kill ya (Taquilla) cheers bro happy turnz
Yooo Goldy! Love that you're tuning in from Tahoe. I've always wanted to get out skiing your way. Hazy brew or Ta Kill Ya.... you seem like my kind of ski partner!
LETS GOOOO!
I'm still buzzing!!!!
This looks awesome, I'm also waiting for the beginning of the season!
UPD: the ski base is better than i expected after rock skiing....
These always feel like the longest weeks of the year!
too bad its going to melt this weekend
It was already melting on my way down Yesterday hahaha
listen if we cant change your pessimistic outlook after some runs in the sun then there is no hope for you brother.. hey at least it is melting completely instead of faceting up and screwing us for the rest of the year...
@@justinbayola true. I’m just jealous because I’m sitting at home just after surgery and I’m told I can’t do anything for 6 weeks or I could break my shoulder again
first turn fever
MAD POW DISEASE
This video just makes me wish i lived out west 😂
I'm so lucky to be out here!
A GOOD STONE GRIND TO TEXTURE THE BASE FOR THAT AWESOME WEST COAST CEMENT
'This man is putting west coast ski techs out of business'
hes back
Rockin' and Rolling... But mainly 'Rock'ing
Oh brother!
Loose cannon!
Those rock skis. They are now
Shockingly, no damage to the core. I cracked them last year in a chute and they can't be fixed, they are living their destiny!
Word !
🤘
♥♥
Thanks for tuning in ❤️❤️
I feel like you just say all the stuff we’re thinking out loud as we’re skinning and skiing 😂
I'm glad I'm not unhinged :)... Just unfiltered!
Had to sub for the KP in the car (Cierra + party rock)
Ayyyeee glad you're familiar with 1-2 step hahaha. Total bangers!
Yes
Yes Yes Yes!
ALREADY! I should have went I live 5 minutes from cypress. I'm there rn
How was it today?
@@riseandalpine Sadly not skiing but im there 5 times a week:)
We are in 2023!
Time Travel!
Love it! Was considering doing this myself. Obviously not as committed as you!
Can I ask how you find those Marker Duke bindings? I've heard many bad stories about the shifts and looking for an alternative, maybe the Dukes are the way to go. Thanks!
Hey Harrison,
Dukes have been kick ass for me. Obviously taking off the toe piece can be a hassle. But it's super quick and easy and I've never had snow problems getting them on and off. Biggest concern for me is my backpack opening up while I'm climbing and losing a toe piece LOL. But I triple check everything is zipped and secure.
I'd totally recommend them as they are the perfect daily driver for the resort and just what you need for the odd uphill day. No release or icing problems like those shifts.
@@riseandalpine thanks for the reply. Super helpful info. Have a great season. Hopefully bump into you on the mountain one of these days.
ur energy is awesome. trying to get to this level of human lol
Thanks Matt... I run off pure raw stoke & a few boot sniffs here and there :)
Awesome…. Hopefully the sign of a good winter for everyone! If the skiing doesn’t work out reckon you could make a career as a Katy Perry cover act
Simon... I think you just helped me find my true calling 🤣🤣🤣
@@riseandalpine you are welcome. Just send tickets to your first show 😂
Awesome first turns video but I have to ask what settings you are using on your Insta360. I have the insta360x3 and no matter what settings I use I can't seem to get a video as clear as yours.
Hey Ryan, I actually was just running the stock setting 4k/30 and downloaded it on my iPhone in the insta360 app. Sometimes I find it's just the sun hitting the right way off the snow that makes it look really crisp.
Hey man love the vids! If these are your rock skis now, what are you going to replace them with? I'm looking at buying either these or the Declivity 102 Ti, what do you recon (for skiing in Europe)
Hey! I've got some new skis on the way for this season. I'll have to surprise everyone with a review when I take them out. The Nordica 104's and Declivity's are both hard charging skis. Personally, I've never been on the Declivity's but I can tell you all about the Nordica Enforcer Free 104... It's my favourite all round ski in whatever conditions and has shockingly good performance on the hard pack. You gotta ski them hard but man are they fun.
You can't go wrong with either choice!
apprciate it man, getting lost in the sauce looking at all the new skis coming out this season.. the unforcer 104 unlimted now has my attention just swing that puppy around with lighter weight as well as the faction prodigy 3s
@@riseandalpine
iiiit's heeaar❄️😳😲🤪👍❄️
That's what rock skis are for. I own a pair. Rossignol Roc 550's which if you can remember those, you're old.... like me.
I've got to be honest, I've never heard of those skis, sound like they've seen a few rocks though. Gotta love it!
YO! So stoked to see my beta was useful! You're welcome for the skin track ;)
I got so hyped when I saw you made this, would def love to ski together sometime!
Feel free to shoutout my channel haha
For anyone wondering - this was the legendary facebook poster and first skier of the 23/34 season on Cypress mountain!!!
0:19 i feal you bro!
Glad I'm not the only one
let me know if you ever want to get to know cypress better. from your videos I can tell we like similar terrain ;) (and deep pow)
I'd love to ski a cypress day with someone who could show me around once it opens up all the terrain!
Greetings from europe! we still have no snow and its constantly raining :(
Hey Hey! Glad to have a European in the comments! Hopefully that rain turns to snow soon :)
Hey, that's me! Kinda
I got banned from SCT apparently but I broke trail to Black Mountain yesterday morning 😂
Also you brought the enforcers? Damn, I definitely used my rock skis :D
No way! How was black mountain? SCT FB group never lets me post. Tried to share this video with everyone but I think the Admins always auto reject anything I share lol. Maybe we should start a new group of some sort.
Enforcer 115's are actually broken. Cracked them through the bottom last year. Got something special for this season though once there's enough snow :)
@@riseandalpineit was about 10% sharks, 60% scratching/scraping, and 30% turns 😂. Figured the north aspect would be better, and also I had to get a peak in, and I already had the others in cypress
Lol yeah that group is weird. I just post in SWBC peakbaggers primary. Not touring focused but still they appreciate beta and provide plenty.
Nice, new skis are always exciting
@@tarfeef101 30% turns is better than 0% hahaha. Maybe they don't let me post in SCT since I wear a Helly Hansen Jacket and not Arc'teryx LOL!
