    The video of the ski descent of the north face of the Pigne d'Arolla is absolutely stunning-thx for these incredible shots! 🌟
    That said, let’s not forget that this face was also descended on a snowboard in 1998 by guide Gilbert Crettaz, a native of the valley, from La Forclaz, Evolène. At the time, it was an extraordinary feat that deserves recognition. This guide has made history in snowboarding with many first descents achieved quietly, without seeking media attention. A true pioneer!

    Amazing video guys. I always love the content you make. I’m not one to comment very often, but having skied in the Evolène and Arolla region my whole life this is amazing to watch. I remember standing at the top of the Pigne while doing the haute route, being in awe of the views and what felt like a huge drop below me. I couldn’t imagine somebody skiing it yet alone taking a break half way to pop out a drone to film their process 😂. Huge respect to you guys and keep it up!

    But if you're about to say that, just know that if humans had no drive for adventure and risk, we would still be living in caves and achieved or discovered anything.
