In this video I'm heading up Whistler mountain to snowboard with Andreas from Comor. Andreas has Nitro Squash Quiver snowboard to test out. I'm looking for a new powder snowboard to bring on my trip to Japan. We're snowboarding today in an out of bounds area of the mountain called Khybers Pass. I'm excited to test out the Nitro snowboard in the pow and on the groomers and see if it's the right snowboard for Japan. I'm following Andreas through the trees today. He's very familiar with the Khybers Pass area and the best ways to maneuver through terrain. Any time you head out of bounds its important to stick with your crew, know where you're going and know all the risks with going out of bounds. It turned out to be a great day for snowboarding thought the tree and we found some good powder. I decided in the end to go for the Nitro Pow Quiver snowboard for the Japan trip! Thanks for watching!
Simple request ride more with Andreas when you home please, the dude gets it.
"The mountains and the trees...they heal you."-
Well said, Andreas.
I love how andres just appreciates and enjoys snowboarding so much
lil pump same 😂
Andreas is so dope. Love his out look on the mountain
Indeed. He's clearly at one with the universe.
He’s one with the trees, the mountain, and the universe
Ok this andres guys vibes and mindframe are awesome and contagious. Hope he's in more videos to come!
You should ride it as your normal board!
David, you diabolical!
DAVID!!!!
no u can only ride the quiver as ur daily driver if u are knut eliassen or u euro carve down duh mountain all the time
It looks fun
Yo David your vids are dopw
I struggled for years to be confident on a snowboard and I couldn’t get down a green run with out falling. This summer I would watch your videos almost everyday and now I am riding black diamonds and shooting down tree runs! Thanks so much dude you really helped me
Amazing! Happy to hear the vids helped! Keep it up!
Andres rips the mountain and life. A complete character. Love his vibe.
Just came back from a very snowy month in Hakuba. I rode my Poler+Nitro Treehugger almost every day. It's awesome through the trees and deep pow!
It’s so dope that you have Davidsjones subbed to you! You guys are both awesome snowboarders!!
Thanks for keeping me entertained on the ski lifts!
Andreas is so chill. You can tell he lives and breathes snowboarding.
I'm glad you mentioned having the proper safety gear and training when you go out of bounds.
A helmet would also be a good idea lmaoo
Hi Kevin, I’m debating between Nitro Pow and Squash. any suggestions? How does the Pow ride on a non-powder day? Still okay?
I brought my boots from Andreas! Knows his stuff and is hilariously chilled out.
Haha, Andreas is the man!
Andreas is the man
That zone is awesome. The girlfriend and I were lapping that one day last season with no one else around. Enjoy Japan!
Ride Japow last week. It was unreal. Non stop faceshots chest deep snow was incredible!!
Stoked to see you try out a Nitro. I've never rode one of their quiver boards, but there normal shapes and their bindings are top of the line. Always had the best luck with Nitro snowboard co. Plus beefed up "rail killer" edges, you can't beat that.
The pow here in Japan has been amazing this year!! Come down to Fukushima prefecture!🙌🏽
You know when a guy appreciates his Evergladed Meadows
Went to Japan. With this board. Awesome, to the max!!
Another board? How many do you have now? Those Nitro boards look so cool
Love the board bud. I just got a 2018 ride bizerker 158 and I can proudly say that it’s money well spent. Super snappy and light. Wasn’t sure about the slime walls at first but can also proudly say that my next board will also have the same feature.
Khybers!!!! I miss Whistler so much for the epic tree runs and steeper terrain. Japow is sick for consistent snow and night time riding though. Tough choice of where to go for the 2018/19 season...
Awesome video, The trees and mountains defiantly heal you. unless you nail one then your screwed! haha =]
Excelente video !!! Relax and beauty !!! ❤️👀👏😱
The Yes 420 you have will rip in Japan. Short and fat = ideal to float and manoeuvre through the trees. The board has a level of pop in it as well. I rode a few powder boards in Japan and the 420 topped it.
Kev, if you want some sick powder runs through trees in Japan... go to Hakkoda!
Great vibes from that guy! I'd ride with him anyday!
hello, I will start a lesson on snowboarding and I'm a complete beginner, my question is regarding the boots, can you spend a day walking on the snowboard shoes or is advisable to have secondary snow boots for walking around when your not snowboarding?
7:50 daaamnnn jelly. can't wait for the japan trip
Great video Kevin-san, happy shredding in Japan!
Thank you! Can’t wait!
I love the videos man I just recently got into snowboarding and was wondering what places would you recommend a beginner snowboarder to go to on a budget? I used to skateboard and currently longboard so I feel like I'll pick up on snowboarding quickly
2:32 couldn’t relate more
i like Andreas mountain guru vibe a lot
Brah I hit da like button before even viewing!! I support u guys keep up the sick edits coming!! Aloha from Hawaii see you in March!! Yew!!
Damn andreas is my dude. Seem like a cool guy to snowboard and hang out with
Love the Andreas Style !!!
When are you heading to Japan? If you're near Niseko definitely check out the Gentemstick showroom. Most beautiful snowboards I've ever seen. Maybe get a demo board for the day?
Thanks for the tip. Will definitely do that!
more Andreas!! :D great video
Starting snowboarding tomorrow on whistler mt any advice on where to?
Stay on the Whistler side vs Blackcomb as there are more green & blue runs. Take the gondola to the Roundhouse on top. Ride mostly the Emerald Chair if you're a beginner. Have fun.
I have to live vicariously through you guys. Your videos both keep me in love with boarding, but hate that I can't do it more often. I'm in the Northeast and conditions are just horrid. Especially this week since we are getting rain and 40-60 degrees!!! SMH!!!!
It's worse in the Mideast and much smaller 😞
Ethan Dennis yeah I’m thankful to live in Massachusetts but the weather is just......drunk......it needs to go home.
Your my boy blue. Looks epic out there man. Not as good as when we came out in jan but still solid. Cant wait to come ride with you again.
I really like that guy pls more videos with ihm awsome Video
that quiver pow looks so nice i kinda just want it for how it looks haha
Andreas IS majestic
Andreas quoting Kendrick "contemplate n meditate" lmao
as an ontario skiier this is my life goal to do some skiing like this.. at the same time i would like t not get lost on the mountain. are guided trips offered through the off bounds stuff? or should i just keep doing my research and hope to find some locals to take me down when i get there lol. also great channel keep it up!
Gotta test all the quiver boards. I think you would be impressed
Andreas talks a lot of dribble but that small monologue going up the first chair was beautiful
Sweet buildup to Japan! So excited for you
Japan?!?! You lucky SOB!!! :) Can't wait for those JaPow videos!
WHEN ARE YOU COMING TO JAPAN? This year is LITT here in Japan with Tons of snow!
Andreas your the man!
Try out the Burton Skeleton Key. Board rips!
Hi thanks for inspiring me
Love my nitro squash rips everything!
Is it possible to take boards like these on jumps and grinds ?
You guys kick so much ass!
Guys come to Smithers bc there's a really good mountain Called Hudson Bay mountain!
Inspired to try snowboarding one day
excited to see the japan vids, loads of vlogs! 😆
Such a cool Video! Keep it up!
So I have a beginner question, to set bindings in a regular stance should there be more space on the nose or tail of the board?
Canon Campbell if your board is a twin you’re better off setting your bindings the same on either side instead of offset.
Canon Campbell I would say if you are going to be riding switch or going into the park, you would be best setting up your stance in the middle of the board, with +12 and -12 degrees. However, if you won’t be riding switch and just want to ride the whole mountain, I would recommend setting your stance closer back to the tail for more responsive turning and more float if it does snow. Also, most boards come with a reference stance so that is always a good place to start! Good luck man
Thanks I don’t do much park YET right now I like to ride the whole mountain
Which bike park run did you guys go on?? Have fun in Japan!
I’m not sure if it’s part of the bike park, but it leads to Creekside.
Yoo dude you gonna visit Japan next ? I’m from Japan!! Hope I’ll see you guys at Japan!!!!
Kevin when are you guys coming out here to Japan? Would love to ride with you!
lool , thought you picked up a japanese prisoner of war board xD. . finally understood it at the end of the video
love this channel, these quiver vids are always great
Omg I love Andreas!
Yo guys I'm living here in Hokkaido, Japan, would love to meet you and ride!
You guys are so lucky -18 isnt even cold where i ride
Buy the pow board in Japan! Gentemstick!
"Majestical" lol
Love the bored ..keep it up love u guys for sure subscribing
andreas is rad, helped me a ton last year when I lived up in whis last year
Heyy have you ever ridden at Cypress mountain or grouse mountain? I live really close to them
Kevin, why didn’t you use your yes powder board for the Japan trip , is the nitro your new powder board at home or was the nitro just more suited to the conditions in Japan, love all your vids by the way, you’ve renewed my love of riding
I have the quiver pow and its a bomb
Well one snowboard anyway. Just give me that with two noses so I can switch. I'll provide the spray anyway.
The Nitro quiver series are really insane...
The Trice will suffice!!
Since Aaron Kyro kind of taught you to skate, teach him to snowboard! I love both channels
Colin Burnett he can already ride better than Kevin watch he's season edits from many years ago
It’s true, he’s a really good snowboarder! He taught me to skateboard. Would be fun to collaborate with him sometime!
SnowboardProCamp That would be awesome to see!!!
Andreas definitely smokes
Get down on some diggity dank in that beach location
love your channel
I have the Nitro Quiver Pow . Best board i never ride !!!!! Enjoy ;)
Amazing! Can’t wait to try it!
Well since your kinda doing a tour you should come to Australia and check out our not so great snow...
Maybe in August!
No way! Which Mountains were you thinking of?
Andreas sounds like he smokes a lot of weed. My man haha
