      I agree. And also an application so I can live like Danny.

    "We're skiing on rocks" - Danny

      I work as a ski tech in a shop that does AT rentals - I routinely take out the shop's skis on days like these.

    Danny, Thank you, Blake, Christov, Matt, Aaron, ( sorry for misspells ). You and crew have started the " living Vicariously through others" Through the 3 years we've watched, we have expanded our hiking excursions, terrain. Further, You guys are our retreat from the world's B.S. Thank you again, keep it up, Please

    I feel for Christoff. To add insult to injury, Matt made sure your skis had the fun you were missing out on!

    I am old and broken from many decades of adventures. You guys keep me smiling and remembering the steep and deep and the whitewater rivers back when I was young. Power on while you can.

    I have found the best combination of waking up in the morning.
    Hot coffee and the adrenalin rush from watching you all on Mediocre Amateur.
    Oh what a feeling!

    Like everyone else... how does this channel not get more view. I have spent the last month hammering through the entire back catalogue. Great videos, great inspiration. Thanks for all the work you all put in.

    I'm 65 and did 5 miles with 700 ft vertical yesterday and wore myself out! You guys are amazing! I have to scale my expectations way back, but you all inspire me to get out there!

    We all miss when Christoff isnt around but his FOMO almost makes up for it know that he is missing out. Epic trip guys, thanks so much for sharing!

    Gotta ski Humphreys in Flagstaff, you are at 12000+ while looking down into Sedona and the Grand Canyon!

    • @H7B2ify
      @H7B2ify 3 роки тому +1

      But isn't it in a ski resort? Could make it more convenient but less fun. But I do agree, Humphrey's and Tuk probably have the best panoramas in the nation

    About 20 years ago I hiked up and skied that line going down the SW gully on Mt. Tuk. Old pair of Rossignols did just what I needed. Came out at sunset and smiled at the solo.
    Sure beat the drop at Tuckerman's back east in the spring.

    Thank you guys for this awesome post! The moment you are traversing that ridge from Peale to Tuk and then up the final incline to Tuk seems like you are on top of the world, somewhere in the Himalayas! Wow! Got 2 questions: 1) Weren't you scared of avalanches? Living in the Austrian Alps, I've done my fair share of off-piste skiing and I must say in the face of these free, steep slopes I'd have been most worried about avalanches! 2) How did you find your way back from Tuk to your starting point through all these dense aspen groves??
