  • What up 2020, we back!
    Ski-touring from the road, through a forest and up a mountain bowl, to the top of a steep French peak, from which we climb, ski and laugh our way down. Welcome to the first episode of Mountain Vlogs, where I bring you along for the ride on typical mountain days! In this one, I join Slovenian park skier turned mountaineer Bine Zalohar, and my Finnish friend André Dalkarl for a big day a short drive from home. No superstar snow, but all in all a fun day in a beautiful place!
    Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe!

    Dang, you guys are so freaking calm and chill in those precarious locations. I definitely don't have the nerve to take the skis OFF and change to crampons on a 60 degree pitch with a cliff below me. Glad you guys appear prepared for everything and have the skills to do it. Be safe.

    Well done gentlemen!. We got shut down from skiing since the middle of March. I miss it. We usually drive to the mountains every 2 weeks. Jasper or Banff. I am old so it was close to 20 years ago I first went to the cleavage at Banff. You guys make the cleavage look like a green run.At the time I was really just learning to ski so it was outstanding in the fear factor. You guys go to great effort to get that fear factor. Great job!

    I would be to worried about an avalanche with this snow. Looks like fun though. I used to ski in crazy stuff in the 70’s and 80’s when we had longer skis. But things change when you get older and have a family. I so miss skiing with my friends at Mammoth and Lake Tahoe. These guys seem like a good group that watches out for each other and they enjoyed their climb and skiing down the mountain as their reward.

    Nice vid, looks like a great day, like how you don't edit out the sketchy bits and just include the cool looking parts. Do you use shorter skis/higher edge bevels than usual for chutes like that? Stay safe out there.

    • @JacobWesterSki
      @JacobWesterSki  4 роки тому +1

      Thanks! I usually stay around the 185-190cm length for all my skiing, if I go shorter its to save weight for really big days, with 1500m+ of vert. I always feel more comfortable on big skis :)

  • @WaechterDerNacht
    @WaechterDerNacht 4 роки тому +1

    Great video! Definitely the kind of skiing i like to watch but probably never will ski myself. Not a good enough skier to imagine myself riding down stuff like this.
    If you could have only one (width of) ski for everything, pow, slope, crust and park... What would you take?

    • @JacobWesterSki
      @JacobWesterSki  4 роки тому +2

      Good thing most of the peaks around here (including the one in the video), have easier descents to pick from. The views are still the same ☺️
      I would pick something around 106 waist, with a turning radius of 19-21 meters. The Rossignol Sender TI that I'm skiing in this video ticks most boxes, I can't recommend it enough!

    The game is , because there is so much competition to get their vids out, people will climb to get a video. Hoping to attract a sponsor. Rather than having a sponsor that will pay for a heli or track mobile. Tough job!

    • @JacobWesterSki
      @JacobWesterSki  4 роки тому +2

      You sir, seem uninformed on some crucial details. 1. Ski-mountaineering is about so much more than the skiing. The endurance training to the top. The airy ridge traverse with the beautiful views. The suspense and engagement of skiing something steep and exposed. The route finding and problem solving. The camaraderie at the bottom. Those who love being in the mountains, not only the skiing part, will know what I mean.
      2. Neither heli skiing nor "track mobiling" is allowed in France, so there would be no skiing these lines unless people walk up. Any questions?

    • @JacobWesterSki
      @JacobWesterSki  4 роки тому +1

      Yes thats correct! I use both, the elite has a bit of a different flex and works best for freeride, the pro is a bit better for ski mountaineering. They are very similar however and I dont think you will notice a difference tbh.
