genuinely best ski content on the internet and it's not even close - always a pleasure
For sure! and seeing how slow the vet took it, speaks level of Nikolai and Krister
Bro you hit it on the nose, the quality, shots, story telling. its leagues above all others I've been recommended by youtube!
can not upvote enough!!!
Imagine we are allowed to watch this for free... Thanks Niko and Joonas 🤍
Bloody sick channel found it today and can’t stop watching. Pure 🔥
When you hear it from a legend like Abma, you know its true, that “Nikolai you’re an animal, buddy”❤”Wow dude, you’re crazy “🎉
Honestly, having watched both cuts, theres something so much more powerful about having the entire story unfold. What makes your films so special is how much more surrounds each line. Thank you for continuing to create immaculate, narrative driven, ski films.
I realised one little thing that makes your videos so enjoyable: you show the approach and the discussion you're having with your partner extensively and it help grasping the surrounding, the conditions, the mindset to offert a full experience like we were there with you.
Watching legendary skiers ski the runs you fly down is crazy. Incredible, skillfull dudes methodically getting through what you had just STRAIGHTLINED?!? You're a madman. Incredible vid as always.
To be fair Nikolai have ridder the line several times before while for Abma it was a first . Also , Abma well up in his 40's regardless of is fitness has to be a bit more conservative to avoid injuries. What one would Just brush of in the 30's could easily be a month on the couch in the 40's 😅
Mark such a humble, gentleman and SMART skier! We know he can rip it at anytime but he knows when and how! Such a smart downhill!
Classic Niko proving he's gnarlier than just about every other skier in the world
a quick, slightly overly sentimental comment i have come to after seeing this video: i remember seeing you ski with abma in 2018, during schirmer in the field. i found those videos when i became obsessed with skiing around 13 apart from going once or twice a year with my family to spending every waking moment thinking about it. as well as many others, your videos especially helped me find what has become one of my favourite things in the world. a lot has changed over the time since then but i still love and regularly watch your videos as well as ski a lot more. keep putting out the great stuff and i can't wait to still be watching your videos in another 5 years; you are a true inspiration. thanks
Niko going full Amundsen while everyone else is swearing by sleds - pretty freaking awesome.
(also a good illustration of what sled dogs were bred for and why they don't make for good apartment pets)
It’s a good day when Niko posts. Keep up the amazing work, your content is so enjoyable to watch!
The quality of the skiing goes without saying but what sets this apart from everything else is the quality of the story telling and associated filming. A really immersive experience thank you
The legend Mark Abma!
(who isn't very good at kick turns?!)
woof watching abma ski it was good contrast. Having enough time for us to see that the choke is like 4 boots wide. Niko is an animal.
So much love for Mark Abma! His smooth, pillow-popping style is iconic and he always seems to have a great attitude in the mountains...Awesome to see you guys partner up. Niko your couloir prowess is nutty!
Every Niko release = top of the podium…
thank y’all so much from high Colorado….💪🏾🙏🏾
17:11 "What would couch Niko do?". God that quote just hit me so hard. Love you Niko
I skid this chute about a week ago, I imagine about the same time you were there unless your edits take more time! Absolutely great chute, I took the first half a lot like your buddy there Nikolai but after the chute I straight bombed it like you!
I was on my own though, the snow wasn’t as skiable 😜
Great to see 2 completely different styles of skiers taking the chute!
Good to see professional guys skiing professional but safe first. Incredibly narrow line, never seen sth like this before. Enjoyed it, great skiing and moreover film work!
You should have a million quadrillion subscribers. Spread the word folks!! Thank you for bringing us along into the mountains!
Words to live by: "What would Couch Nikko do?" LOL!! 😂Excellent edit as always guys! Thanks.
Everyone is always commenting on the editing and cinematography, but i believe the it is the incredible sound design that really sets Schirmer's content apart, in conjunction with the amazing storytelling of course!
Charlie is the best🤝
This is one of those videos where I just restart it right away and watch it again. SO good.
Love Abma's dialogue!
How sick was that! I loved the Idea of putting the sentence he heared into subtitles first and then clearing up the confustion afterwards
Wow Joonas does such a good job filming these.
Can’t believe the amount of bad ass content Nikolai puts out, him and Abma are both legends!
NIKOLAI SCHIRMER this guy brings everyone down safe with love and passion in his personality and voice ❤️❤️❤️ amazing 🥰
Greetings from Switzerland, Wallis
the "wipe out"/"widen out" was genius haha! one of your best videos yet!
What a pair of legends
Hi mate, I'm unable to ski this season, but just wanna say thanks a bunch for your vids, and for keeping my spirits up 🤙.
The fact you are under 150k subscribers is mind boggling to me.
Can it get any better than having you team up with Mark Abma...!? I guess that's a hard one to beat.
I'm loving these ones where you team up with people clearly less experienced and you take them to these amazing places.
I'm not a skier but I absolutely love your videos and the way you tell them. Always incredible!!
You guys are bringing a lot to the table, stoked I found you. Amazing content

But the last minute of the video, skiing down at sunset with fjord views…that is skiing in Norway ❤

The whole video was absurd but, the final clip was like so relaxing...
When a film evokes emotions in you, you know it's a banger!
I LOVE THIS GUY SO MUCH
insaaane. And killer edit as usual.
Best channel on youtube, incredible. Takk!
Sick-Slick!!!👌👌👌💪💪💪💪
The fear he shows really puts into perspective what you do so casually every video.
HE DOES IT AGAIN, ANOTHER BANGER
hahaha, i was biting my nails, when I heard Joonas saying "he wiped out".
What a mission!
Sick
abma's got such dad energy
great video!
great videos
Dude, I get nervous living vicariously thru your turns... but its the lack of turns that really scares the shit out of me!
First time I've ever seen a dogsled approach!
