You are so lucky that you did not hit any of those exposed rocks on your way down! Is amazing it only takes one bad decision and it can change our life! Sometimes skiing something you already have can also be dangerous as it gives you a false sense of confidence and one is not as alert as the first time!
I once reverse tomahawked the entire distance of that same run. No injuries but I can speak of that fall for twenty minutes. Spinning so hard I had not idea where down even was. Good stuff. You ain’t been there done that till you went down on that run. Now I ski a lot more bumps and a thrash them like no one else.
That would have been the wise decision - I keep my bindings a bit looser b/c of a previous knee injury. there were lots of hidden rocks, and I thought I could dodge the exposed ones. It takes a lot of snow to cover that run.
That's ROCKY mountain skiing for ya, it's so much easier to find steep AND skiable terrain in the Sierras. Places like Mammoth and Tahoe get twice the snow and it sticks to the steeps twice as well.
Great slide control, though. You clearly know your way around a crash, this was about as good as it can be done. If you can control a crash down this hill, you can control a crash anywhere.
Didn't last long on that, but the conditions look absolute dogshit anyway. Honestly falling probably kept you from ruining your skis on all those rocks (not that I'd recommend that method). Super lucky you didn't tumble.
You can see when his body leans back, isn’t squared with the slope and how hard the snow looked. Either way unless those are Rick skis you don’t care about I would never enter that shit unless it was completely covered
Your mistake was not picking up you left foot and hopping, because of that the downward momentum kept going downward. I hate moguls, they’re exhausting
The way I ski now from greens to double blacks is I ask myself what are the odds of getting hurt? If they feel significantly higher than usual I ski away to hopefully ski another day.
I think the flying ski give a raal goo indication how steep it was. Seems like a good challenge but hats off to you for doing tough conditions.
One word, OUCH! That had to hurt with all the hard tracked bumps
+MisterE103 it was so steep that I just slid on my back with my feet up, and was lucky not to tumble
Great video! You have bigger balls than me to hit that in those conditions. Props!
no he just had no brain
Could you not have wiped your lens off while falling??
Thank you for your service

+Claudio Lichtenthal Indeed - my first ski popped on a rock that was just below a thin layer of snow
Bro. This really shows how steep that shit is. God damn.

On a positive note, I think you now old the record for the fastest time down Rambo.
Watching both your skis eject hard in front of you made it funny.
Common question for CB Patrol, "How do you rescue injured guests?
Patrol, "They always end up at the bottom."
A hidden rock? Hidden snow maybe! I ski some sketchy shit, but I wouldnt have dropped in that with coverage so thin.

Rambo has tons of hidden rocks
Scraped almost as much snow as a snowboarder!
Holy balls Batman.
That’s one way to hit it!
you're killing me
Bravo!!!!!
Lmao of course its Jerry on the rental ski's
Very grateful - learned to turn softly on shallow snow that thinly hides rocks!

@Fola the Wizard of Sound that's because it's crappy wet snow. I still wouldn't wanna ski that
@@veganpotterthevegan sounds like someone’s jealous about the 3-5x deeper snowbase out here
@@robertquinn5548 not at all dumbdumb. I live very close to Snowbird and Alta🤷

KOM on the strava segment now...
lol that's all that matters
Confirmed KOM on Strava
I say you did pretty well.
Ive put my ski tips over that and instantly said nope
RAAAMMMMM-Booooooooo!
Last time I went on Rambo I had an extremely similar fall but bounced off a tree at the end. Two broken ribs and a bruised lung later
ouch, sorry to hear that. I've done that too unfortunately - trees don't bend
Looks like pretty crappy conditions to be making the run in the first place.
U French fried when u should have pizzad your gonna have a bad time
Definitely way too steep to stop yourself! Dang

Thats steep as hell. Thr slow mo was cool
Why did your ski pop off on the first turn?
Learning self-arrest is important.
Since I like my equipment being reusable at the end of the day....I would have unstrapped and walked back to the top.
HE NEEDS SOME MILK!
Lol
Just dig your boots in the snow or grab something!
I tried that - too much pitch and too fast
Looks like this run could be fun if skiing on snow is not your thing.

rule #1 dont ski this shit when its that bare, fuck everything about that lol
Yikes... word of advice: don't put your hands through the ski pole loops.
Ive done the lake chutes at breck. Im sure I can handle this

Maybe stick to the bunny hills with the rest of the gapers. #gobacktotexas

That area looked like total trash. Why would anyone want to ski it? Steep doesn't bother me but steep ice rocks and moguls? Hard pass.
