A good rule of thumb with heady skiing is always be humble, don’t overthink the run, and with a run like this one, don’t frickin push your comfort zone cause you fall on this and you’re gonna get messed up.
People don’t understand how committing some of the inbounds terrain is there. I lived in bozo for a number of years. Some great skiing there. Glad it’s finally getting the recognition it deserves, mostly because I don’t live there anymore😂 Edit:love the tallt sticker
@@Nicks_Colorado_Channel It was my first trip out west. I have grown up skiing the Northeast. I hired a Tram guide for the day (Brian) was just an awesome guy! I remember we checked in with the patrol in the shack and picked up a couple locals for our group before we dropped into North Summit. The two locals could not believe I was about to ski the snowfields on my first trip to Big Sky and my first trip out west. I skied the shit out of it down into the chutes and out through the trees below. Best run of my life!! After that day I spent the rest of the trip skiing with the kiddos and brining my 8-year-old son down any blacks he could handle. We go lucky and skied right by the local mountain goat!! I am just about bursting at the seams waiting for the snow to start dropping!! Have a great season.
@@Powderhound-cb8pb that's awesome to hear! Us east coasters know how to rip! Snowfields off the tram is a proud ascent and an epic first run for your western skiing. If you can ski east coast ice you can ski anything. I'm stoked for the season too let's have a great one this year!!

Double triple quadruple all looks the same. Three ladies ⛷️ in front of me and my son on Lake Louise Whitehorn Gully D, she fell not even 1/4 the way down, she fell all the way to the bottom…badly bleeding nose…was lucky…anyways…to anyone going down these runs, ski responsibly and don’t fall!
those dont appear to be powder skis... they look to thin and you can tell they are dippint toes into the real deal because they dont have the hop turn down yet
I lived there on and off in the early 90’s and powder skis were thin, straight 203-207 GS skis. I switched pretty quickly to a 163 Craig Kelly board and mountaineering boots and that allowed for more direct, big turns down the south face. Can’t wait to go back, a few of my Lenin and Marx runs still stand out as some of the few things in my life too great for words. Whatever level folks are at, it’s all about having fun. Thanks for sharing!
who am i to talk tho because i refuse to take risk of being buried alive with snow hahaha but if i did take those risk i would want the skis that get the most bite in snow and if it all started to avalanche i need skis that can float so well i can outrun it with a prayer
Thanks g! I feel ya I'm not sure anything on this trail really warranted the triple black rating, but it was dope for sure. We sampled some of the crazier lines at big sky too some of those are gnar gnar
@@Phoebeconfused yeah it's always gnarlier irl. Especially those chutes we peeked over in the beginning we skies those the next day. And northeast totally has some gnarly stuff don't let your guard down out there
Late comment but, I’ve been seeing a lot of people saying “this doesn’t look like a triple black” but here’s the thing; they rate it a triple black because if you fall you have a good risk of serious injury or death…. (I think lol)
Triples are a thing, lots of mountains have them, they just don’t mark them on the trail maps. Whistler and Blackcomb for instance, have six and twelve (named) triples respectively, none of which are listed on the map but are absolutely there.
@@Nicks_Colorado_Channel This isn't my original idea. There was a guidebook that was made for all the lines at Squaw Valley about twenty years called "Squallywood". The GNAR scale is the scale that the author, Rob Gaffney used (Gaffney's Numerical Assesment of Radness).

I have a strange fear of heights where the hiking scares me but once my skis are on and I make that first turn it's go time! Good stuff!
Yeah I know what you mean. It's a powerful feeling to click into your skis
Yep definitely
That peak over the edge got me!
That hike looked insane! Run looked great! Nice shreddin!
Thanks Tony!

Word big sky rocks! Gotta rep the tall t local Denver small biz
I was at there a week prior to your days on the mountain. Had the best week of my life!! Skied some chutes and the snowfields. Just an epic adventure.
That's awesome I believe it! Truly a spectacular mountain there. Glad you scored!

@@Nicks_Colorado_Channel Right on brother!! Killington opens up tomorrow!!
@@Powderhound-cb8pbnice! Shred the 802 good for me! I haven't skied VT in years but it's awesome
Man, Big Sky's gotta be my favorite place to ski; I miss the days when I could afford to go there
Big sky rocks for sure
awesome stuff mate!! keep it up
Thx will do!

headwaters nd lone peak some of the best in bounds skkng I've ever skied
Agreed it's radical terrain up there
those dont appear to be powder skis... they look to thin and you can tell they are dippint toes into the real deal because they dont have the hop turn down yet
Agreed I've started skiing the k2 pettitors for a pow ski and it's been a game changer

@@paratrooperz1 heck yeah
Will reach that level one day
Stay at it and you will for sure!
Dude I’m going here in a week and I’ve skied over here, not the triples but the doubles on the other side.
Nice! You're gonna have a blast, they're having a great season at big sky!
This video deserves more upvotes.
That’s a Blue in Colorado 💪🏻
@@Demstaal yes let's gooo
The rocks from afar away looks like orangish/brown but when your up close they are grey
Big sky's known for mysterious rocks I found out
Rad!
this lowkey looks kinda easy i dunno if i can say anything tho but still super amazing keep it up
Thanks g! I feel ya I'm not sure anything on this trail really warranted the triple black rating, but it was dope for sure. We sampled some of the crazier lines at big sky too some of those are gnar gnar
That's how I felt. Like if this was east coast then I'd say yeah this is a triple black. But with all that powder it's barely a black.
@@cccEngineer I feel ya the craziest part of this run was just ridge hiking over to it
@@cccEngineerits triple black bc its essentially a double black with high risk of death if you fall
On camera: Black
Irl: Triple Black
Thinking off of northeast skiing btw
@@Phoebeconfused yeah it's always gnarlier irl. Especially those chutes we peeked over in the beginning we skies those the next day. And northeast totally has some gnarly stuff don't let your guard down out there
What music is playing?
I think it's "mood groove" but I'm not sure, it was built into my free HP video editor but I can't use that program anymore with windows 11

no such rating exists. Big Sky invented it as a marketing scheme.
Triples are a thing, lots of mountains have them, they just don’t mark them on the trail maps. Whistler and Blackcomb for instance, have six and twelve (named) triples respectively, none of which are listed on the map but are absolutely there.
Well looks more like one of my double blacks in the Rockies- It’s still hard nevertheless and the camera makes it look less steep
@@strubs16 It's so strange that some cameras make a slope look way leds steep.
And other angles make soft slopes look near verticle
@@drebk fr
didn;t straight-line down the couloir...lightweight
what's next a quadruple black diamond a quintuple black diamond? 😂
Hepta black
No such thing as a triple diamond. The Gnar scale goes from 1-10 and starts at 1 past double diamond.
@@torreyintahoe I like that! This one wasnt actually too high on the gnar scale, but those other chutes at the start of the video are pretty gnar

@torreyintahoe amazing
These guys are definitely not experts.
The music in the background ruins this entire video.
You mean you don't like porn music? 😅
@@Alienated80 hahaha no! Wanna hear the snow crunch and the fresh air zing.
Buddy that was the slowest skiing I’ve ever seen - my mom skiis faster
It’s a triple black diamond
More children aggrandizing themselves as if anybody cares
No such thing as a triple black. Just a weak ski area trying to get props and cred. Weak.
