We respect you more for your hesitation. Keep doing what you're doing Nikolai, some of the best skiing content out there
The is the best skiing content
Another cinematic, storytelling masterpiece. A tiny detail @ 7:51 that I appreciated was facing the car rearview mirror towards the camera to add interest to the shot. Overall one of my favorite pieces of skiing media.
Joonas is the best
If only it was longer 😂 Such a great channel!
Is the place st.anton where this is filmed? Thinking of going to st.anton/hintertux or lech. Does someone that has skied there have info on which place should I go. St.Anton from my understanding is one of the best places to off piste skiing so I’m thinking that
@@jjjyli686 I would definetely go to st anton, I've been many times although I also really enjoy the zillertal valley. As there are many hotels/apartments for cheap i'd suggest hiring a car or taking a train from innsbruck and do a week in both regions. Theres loads of piste skiing aswell in the zillertal so if snow is rubbish you can still ski something new every day.
@@baby.jingles ok! I looked up zillertal arena and it has gotten like top 3 best ratings. Mayrhofen-hippach looked promising for powder. I think I will buy ski arlberg skipass and maybe visit zillertal after that👍
Great stuff here, normally I go to movie premieres to get that type of content
5:37 those guys look lost... turns out being Sam Anthamatten LOL
Skiing has been the one thing in this world that fulfills me more than anything… your videos bring me doses of the that fulfillment. Thank you Niko! Your content is by far the most beautiful on UA-cam
I'm here for the "your mom-jokes", but the skiing is decent as well.
Been living at the base of Thompson Pass for 25 years, still taking my GF to Austria for her b-day this year. When AK is good, maybe there's no better, but it's not always good and you can be here and not ski for weeks even months at a time! It's not as consistent as it used to be....love your content 🤙
Such high caliber of skiing (ability, conditions, filming), presented casually in a ski vlog style where we get to see some personalities. So good Niko!
Love it! Great movie! Arlberg is my favorite. For those interested. 5:31 is ski resort Sonnenkopf and the lift is "DSB Glattingrat". 8:00 onwards is in Stuben, "Albonabahn II" and then "Albonagrat". The opening scene with the avalanche has no lift access; you have to walk from Stuben or Langen. In all the years, I have NEVER seen a line there though. I can be wrong but it's likely they would have been the first ones on this face. Keep up the great work. Inspiring!
Sure people, who do some research, will find it themselves... but thanks for spreading.
@@mathiaskreuter4506 i was looking fore this secred information, very eazy with this guy :D
Having always skied in Zurs this is amazing watching you there
Amazing as always. As s sound designer I really dig the sound design on the big wide drone shots, when there's just sound design and no music. Like 0:15. Would be great to know more about what sounds you use or how you work with sound design in general. Thanks for epic content.
Thanks Calle! The sound design is done by Charlie Hernández. He’s great
As an Austrian living in Norway that just did their first ski tour yesterday, I approve of this video
as an austrian skiing enthusiast I just wholeheartedly agree
10:44 and everyone is like who didnt..
5:16 it would be nice to see the rest of the way down. Most of your viewers hope to ski something like that after all instead of the stuff you do which while very impressive would be way too dangerous (suicide even) for most of us mortals
Noted🙏
You and Jonas is such a dreamteam. Theese movies are next level, love that you didn't make us wait for long this time 😀
Thanks! Next one dropping tonight :)
By far, the best ski content out there 🤙 thx Niko
Never miss a call from Nikolai! So worth it driving through Switzerland in the middle of the night to catch up with you guys!🙌 I
Thanks for coming out shred papi!
The contrast with Sam's films was hilarious
Im no expert, but that snowpack crossing the traverse was a big red flag and would be a nope from me haha. Glad you guys all seemed to feel an avvy was brewing. Melted and unstable snow in big terrain is not something to mess with. The last few seasons of your recording, have really put a good perspective on risks. I feel like you talk about risks and observations the most. Its a good thing to be cautious in the back country. You're always right, until your wrong ha.
Crazy quality cinematography man you deserve to be bigger
5 Seconds into the video, I'm rewinding more than when watching a matchstick trailer. 1 minute into the video, the story has more layers than a Tarantino movie. Let me get a glass of Chardonnay before i watch the remaining 12 minutes...
Encore du très très lourd. Ski ET editing 👌👌👌
If Alaska had the infrastructure Austria does then I'd it's better, but in terms of ease of access and quality Austria has to be better
Imagine Nikolai going to a place like Kicking Horse or Jackson Hole.... After seeing what he does in Norway, he'd just tear those places up!
Eso es vida, un recorrido espectacular, adrenalina al limite, un gran abrazo para todos desde Perú ✔
The couloir where the avalanche fell down. On the splitting point. Left down, straight through.
I wish "this" Nikolai was a 1000 series long with each having 10 episodes, 1 hour each :'). Always an inspiration. Diolch / Thanks.
Although the focus and filming stresses the downhill, think about the climbing skills, route finding ability and aerobic fitness these men demonstrate on the uphill.
I LOVE the way you integrate avi safety in your vid’s. I really miss that from some of your colleagues
Bro you are scaring me with this drop😨 i can’t even ski a black slope in sweden without breaking 50 bones 😅
You can’t go smaller than you did last time is how people die on Everest
I will say this Nick dude is funny
Yo I go to Zurs every year! Are you going to go back to that face? I have also seen that before and been like wtf (not that I’d ever ski it but it’s cool to see things you know on video)
Just discovered your Channel and got really suprised by how good this video is! Instantly followed! am very excited to watch more of your stuff. Such a great piece of media, loved every second! Makes me want to go skiing right now so bad!
Two videos in a week!? Ooooh the winter stoke is high
The edit ☑ The music ☑ The sessions ☑ I particularly liked the drone footage following the skier at full speed and the music in the beginning that went muffled when the shot changed to you in your car. ✌
Wo san mein Österreicher :D
What is the temperature on the hike up? Wearing all those layers? I would be sweating my ass off in my base layer.
Which one is better? When it comes to skiing mts and making love to women, the comparison game is worthless. It's all good hence no reason to compare them.
Bro they heard a fucking avalanche. Y’all can mountain guide me
this man is simply amazing, the simplicity and at the same time the beauty of his videos is just fantastic
Sick footage, perfect call on the gully! Stay safe dude!
Did you ride the big line and also the 720 entry drop with the Dynamit Rotation 14 without locking them? Still kind of unimaginable for me. How heavy are you and what din setting do you ride them?
Cheers Consti
Thanks! Yep both on the rotation 14 unlocked. Din at 12 and I’m 86kg
Great movie, great work. It a pleasure to watch this 🤘🏼
Niko pumping out content again…We love to see it!
I guess the snow will be fluffy irrespective of charging your kid labour sponsored battery tractor with fake green certified electricity...
Hint: there's only a single energy grid and you're onky always charging with the mix in the grid....
nice skiing though
Thanks!
Nie umiem jeździć na nartach i nie jestem pedałem. To po co ?
what ski is he using? Im not sure what width I should go for Austria. 100, 110 or even 120mm?
Sam and I are on the black crows anima 115. Perfect for those conditions
Yes we love ur content keep up the great work
The most underrated UA-camr out there!!
Nobody is talking about how the “wooohooo” fits the song at 12:14
THis reminds me of how much I used to love (telemark) freeride. Trying to build back resilience in my knees... fingers crossed. ANyhow, great, great great vid. Love the stoke
I wanna go to austria now!
Same
such an underrated channel
Wow, amazing. Incredible skiing, so beautiful. Amazing photography. Love it.
This is great work, I like hearing how you work your way through your decisions! Does anyone know what mountain the spines are on in the last part of the video? Also if you ever want to come check out some spine lines in the Canadian Rockies I could definitely show you around! Servus!
You should definitely replace your skis with stupid carving shape with a stupid wide tip which caused you to stumble by armada arg ii.
Found this channel by chance … I’M HOOKED .. what an adventure !!! BOOM
just one problem..... it is skiing🤣
The lighting of the shot at 2:08?? Insane.
i actually skied that one line before
Your videos get me so excited and i love the AMAZING QUALITY keep up the amazing work :)
Thank you for showing my beautiful country :)
not sure if you'll see this Niko, but is there any chance you could tell me the music used from 11:09~11:20?
That’s some stock music that’s not published unfortunately, but I put together a playlist of all the other music here: open.spotify.com/playlist/5wlcFbqkDmzvg0YgYJyW3z?si=HwE_zslcRoK5WlcT9TrDLw
When is nickel going to get married?
go one time to Mika heliskiing!!!!!
Man, glad you guys were not in that slide. Fact. Good for alternative plan.
sick oida
Silly frog...croaks funny.
Half a winter of rehab is not even close to the amount of time you need to heal your body. To fully seal any breaks in your bones will take around a year. Skiing in that same year is one of the stupidest choices you could possibly make, sad people do shit like this. They're putting everyone around them and themselves in incredibly excessive risk.
I do all my doctor’s appointments by them watching a 13 min ski video I made and doing their assesment based on that. It really is the only proper way :)
Great video! Does anyone know what ski goggles he's wearing at 8:25 ua-cam.com/video/V5l9Ix7yocY/v-deo.html ?
Where do you find your music? Im making my ski playlist for this year and I love the music in these videos!
just stumbled over this. this is insanely high quality content - thanks dude
You’re a legend Nico!!!
I've been watching your videos before bed hoping that they induce ski dreams since that is the closest I will get to the real thing before my local ski hill opens. I can't wait.
А по другому кайфануть слабо!ну например придумать что то подобноебезопасное.❄️
He makes it look like you’ll think you can do it yourself! But little secret… you probably cannot😹💙
Love the content so thanks for the ride! Me I would do a few helli drops and get a few more runs in for your day.
late to the party, but can't believe how well Sprawl II fits a ski film, that last sequence was amazing!
Need to appreciate Sam guide de montagne for rolling the cigarette. Strong dolce vita vibes ❤️
Too much publicity😢
when was this filmed?
it's amazing, every video is so much fun to watch. Great channel!
Screamed during the last run. Epic!
"The Alps Land of the Mountain"... 🤣
He’s on the verge of being reckless which makes him look good.
Stuben Rocks so many good turns there! I miss it ! Better get back this season!
Amazing video
u can't go smaller, hell yea niko!!
Really great videos Nikolai ! Thanks ! So inspiring
I shat myself only twice. Nice video.
Oh god, what a pleasure to see you charging familiar resorts.
another masterpiece, lovely video niko!
Amazing as always, Niko! Getting me pumped for the season.
Wow truly some great shots with the camera, also great music selection !
Awesome stuff
I forgot how good your videos were, always amazing
😮🤯🙌🏽🐾
Just noticed the sound design of the turns in the drone footage. Don't know if it's the sound of the Gopro or if you recreate it but I think it adds a lot to the production quality.
That’s charlie’s sound design🤌
Is it steep?
