Mount Baker // Skiing the Coleman Deming Route in Winter
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 гру 2020
- Mount Baker is an awesome mountain. The peak is that much more mind blowing when you can scale its heights on a sunny no wind day. You can see a lot of iconic landmarks from the summit of Baker. Glacier peak, Rainier, and Olympic National Park. If, and that’s a big if, you can catch it on a good day like we did. On this episode we climb and ski Mount Baker via the Coleman Deming route. Skiing from the summit to the car provides nearly 8,000 ft of descent. Snow conditions ranged from ice to 6 inches of light powder. Definitely a radical day with a little of everything.
Someone said this before and it's still true, most underrated UA-cam channel.
Shhhhhhh.. Just outstanding.
My favorite part of the video was Christof's 3 mediocre tips that consisted of 4 tips. Now that's some prime Amateur content right there!! ☺️
Ha! I'm glad someone caught that:)
I think they/he should keep this going as a new segment in the films.
No kidding. Christof is awesome. 😂
The holy trinity
People around here do not always do Baker on skis in a day, but when they do - we don't call them Mediocre :)
You can tell it is a fun and leisurely day when no one pukes.
🤣
Am I the only one extremely inspired by these guys? I have goals and aspirations to do pretty much everything they do! (Maybe just a tad bit slower)
Dude same. Hella inspiring.
No you are not. Before I started watching them; my attitude towards running was something to do if someone larger was chasing me. Now I have taken up trail running
You're not alone!
At 71 years old, I can never do the things they do. But saying that , they are still one of my primary inspirations to get outside , hike , work out etc and have fun and make the best of the adventures that I can do !!
I found them after I got ankle surgery hahhahaha
"Just had to pop-tart it." Iconic.
😂
"If you're going to do something that you are never going to do again, make sure it's on the right day."
I need a friend like this, solo hiking is fun but lonely 😕
story of my life
What state are you in?
NEVER SOLO HIKE I HAVE A FRIEND WHO DIED FROM THAT😪
@@JoshHway that sounds not right
If you're in WA I'll be your hiking buddy!
Great video, as always.
I really appreciate the extra details you include. The pre-morning hotel, mcd being closed, trailhead prep, skin track skiing, etc. That stuff is rarely shown on other ski videos - they just focus on the summit and beautiful downhill turns. I watch for all the little non-beautiful turn parts. Keep up the good work - and keep filming the non-sexy parts of your adventures.
100 percent agree. My favorite parts of the vids lol
Honestly..places like Mt. Baker just make me so happy to live here in Washington. I live in Seattle and from our unit, we can step out onto the patio and see the Olympic Mountains and Cascades. We get the clearest view of Mt. Rainier daily and to me? Its perfection. I love this state.
I grew up just north of Bellingham and I had an amazing view of the sun rising over Baker every morning. It makes me grateful to have grown up in such a beautiful area
Sage wisdom from Christof right here
You guys should definitely check out the enchantments in the middle cascades near Leavenworth Washington.
Definitely would like to see the MA crew run the Enchantment hike thru. Plus it can't be more crowded then the trailhead at Mt. Rainier right?
One of the best channels on youtube! Can't click fast enough on the notification.
A year later, I say this again, the most underrated youtube channel!
Mmmm Pizza at chair nine, can't go wrong with that!
Man, the blue of those glaciers looks so pretty on the mountain.
Excellent video of my old stomping grounds. (Mount Vernon) Loved Mt Baker and miss the mountains living in Sydney. Cheers.
Classic, "...we get to that summit and it's windless and sunny, is that too much to ask for?" Happy Birthday Danny! I'm glad for once your "...is that too much to ask?" got answered to your satisfaction :-)
😍😍 so beautiful, can't believe this mountain is in my backyard, did a hike earlier in the year, a ridge walk just under baker. Such a gorgeous mountain ❤
Great to see you guys back in my home state! WA is beautiful and has it all from ski to sea.
Always need to take time to take photos of each other posing majestically. You guys are fun to watch.
I get so darn excited when I see they’ve released a new video! This is probably my favorite channel right now. The Virtual Sherpa is pretty awesome too for mountaineering and hiking.
The mountain in my backyard! I love it when these guys come up to WA!
Christof you are my spirit animal. I too have friends that are willing to sacrifice me to the unknown, claiming they could rescue me. Fun to watch another awesome video.
Happy belated Birthday Danny. Can you gift everyone who comments a sweet Mediocre sticker? 🙏
Since Europe is back in a full lockdown, i ran out of outdoor-things to watch two weeks ago. Then i found you guys and pretty much watched every video there is. Fantastic stuff, thanks for keeping my summit-hunger well fed!
Yeah it's a game changer when you find Mediocre, isn't it?!
Thank you for the beautiful videos, you guys deserve an Oscar or something
You guys continue to prove you all are in a different league than just about everyone else! Great video! Great 👍 work!
livin the life we all want to live. So rad
I am so here for this. Have y'all ever heard of or done the Ptarmigan Traverse? Seems up your alley. Slash I'll take you up there if interested :)
Thanks for the adventure. Great trip and great editing!
You folks offer the full package. Great story, videography and editing, great ski talent and not too much distracting music. Thanks!
Climbed Baker via Roman Wall in 1972 and spent the night on the summit in order to see the sunrise on the summer solstice. We woke up before sunrise and sat there peering east to see the first rays come over the horizon. Finally figured out that we were looking toward the northwest and the sun was already over the horizon. The bottle of excellent scotch we had carried to the summit probably was the cause of our disorientation.
Never the less - felt good about the climb and being 25-years old and "tough" we were proudly starting down the wall when two "OLD GUYS" (maybe 50?) came over the top headed up and carrying skis. They had driven down from Vancouver BC that morning, hiked to the summit and then were going to ski back down. No big deal - they had lost count of how many times they had done that.
love your channel - lived and climbed everything, year round, with B'ham as our base 1970 - 1980.
Epic conditions🎉. Another great video
Congratulations on your 100th Video! Amazing content, you guys are great Inspiration!
You guys are fantastic! No shortage of snow here in our backyard. Clear day at Baker is a huge win!
I always feel better when I know that The Big C (Christof) is there to make sure Danny get's home safe and sound so he can get to his favorite activity....Christmas shopping for his mother-in-law (something from the Dollar Tree would be just fine.)
He's been pestering us constantly to help him find the perfect gift for his favorite Mama Roxanne!
Always love these. But on this one, I'm waiting for the glacier travel critics to start chiming in. I've my popcorn ready.
glad you guys are doing this so I dont have to
One of the best MA vids ever. The scenery is nothing short of spectacular!
And the tips at the end: What a bonus! Now I'm ready! The ultimate truth about everything: Make sure you do it on the right day.

What a great adventure. Awesome weather, view, conditions, and no crevasse rescue. I live in Edmonds, WA and see Mt. Baker every day. I appreciate your vantage point from the top.
Brilliant guys- living vicariously through you. Baker is one of my favourite mountains having grown up in the Fraser Valley.
YES!!! The ski videos are back with an awesome hike! CONGRATS!
You know I busted out the notepad for that final minute.
What an adventure! Thanks for sharing.
Great to see the ski season opener! I especially liked Matt's line that if you are only gonna do something once, wait and pick the right day!
Another fantastic adventure, thank you for taking us along.
I am constantly amazed that these guys continually produce content that looks and feels amazing all the while making the arduous climbs look effortless. Inspiring stuff.
Baker is awesome!

Man I am so Envy these Guys. Really cool video and what a great day you guys had :) Loved it :)
We’re skiers and climbers based in Cordova Bay, BC. Grateful to live in the Saanich territory. We see the sunrise over Shukshan every morning. I’ve summited Baker. Great video … You had me at “Sha-shu-gee”. It happens.
Excellent video and audio record of your day!
So awesome!
So awesome, and what a perfect day to do it
Great content as always.
Happy Birthday Danny, living in PNW these days and love Baker area. Summit is def on my short list and seeing you ski down it makes me want to learn to ski that much more.
I love you guys, this was epic! You really have mastered how to shoot these. I love the view @ 13:55, Lawrence of Arabia in the snow!
Matt's got a new mustache for the climb. Digging it

Happy belated birthday, Danny! I thought I could see you 3 from my house in Van!!! Wasn’t sure until the coolest video was released. 🤪 Good job to all of you. Keep up the good fun.
Best adventure team on the UA-cam, every video release is a holiday! How you don't have many more subs is a mystery to me 🤷♂️ But what a day, pure perfection! 😍 Another epic video guys!
Matt looks like a fire boss with that mustache, I going to have to get use to it. looking good Matt.
Enjoyed the final thoughts commentary! 🤙
Love this channel
Man, these are the most epic birthday gifts I could ever think of. I need to ask for something like this!😅
