Escaping the polar night on skis

- The sun has disappeared for winter, and Finn hasn't been up his home mountain since he finished his cancer treatment, so we make a foolhardy attempt into the storm.

Nice to see all the warm wishes for Joonas! His recovery is going to plan, and he'll be joining us in just a few weeks
Poor Joonas! Hoping his recovery goes well, make sure he does his rehab!
Thanks for making your films Nico. My wife is going through chemotherapy at the moment. I love watching your adventures, these little escapes from reality really help. This one in particular was poignant with your friend Finn overcoming cancer. Loved the kiwi as well, as I'm in NZ.
Oh bummer to hear that. Hope it’s not too hard on her and you two. Stay strong, there’s pink sunrise light at the end of the tunnel :)
Really appreciate Finn's story. I've been in recovery for 3 years, official remission for just over a year. Most days it seems like I'll never quite recover. "I'll go ahead because I'm just gonna go slow anyways so you'll catch up" is pretty much my moto. Wishing Finn a smooth recovery.
What a pity you are no longer with Norrona. You were literally their face. The greatest Scandinavian skier with the best Scandinavian (if not the world's) outdoor brand. Good luck with the crows though
Yeah. I just wonder why? I have no clue about the quality of Black Crows garments but Norrona is pretty much the best you can get
Just editing the gear talk where I go through all that now. Dropping asap
@@Nikolai_Schirmer We are looking forward to it. However, I'm sure your choice is undoubtedly reasoned. Anyway, another amazing video. Thanks ♥️❄️
I would have preferred for him to switch to another ski brand
@@Mecholablewhy?
Sorry to hear about Joonas hope his recovery is full and speedy! I shattered a bone day 2 of my season so it's a write-off, just gotta focus on post-op rehab and coming back stronger to make the most of next year.
Success with your rehab mate, heads up 💪🏼🚀
Love the nail polish!!
Best wishes to our boy Joonas, hope his rehab goes smoothly!
Another amazing video, as always.
The way you tell a story through your videos is unmatched! I love these vids so much!
Hiked my first line a week ago and it was so worth it, think i’m hooked on backcountry skiing thanks to you! Unfortunately my season is already done but next season will be awesome. Can’t wait for the gear video as well!
why is your season over? :/
Fr didn’t the season just start? Maybe he got hurt
Excellent, heartfelt edit Niko! Seeing Finn overcome those serious health issues is a tear-jerker. Thanks for sharing!
BTW, speaking of light- I skied some lines near Andalsnes last March and really struggled with skiing in the flat-light above tree line. Would get spatially disoriented. Goggles didn't help much. How do you do it??
Thanks! Well for this last part we used headlamps which helps a lot, and also the snow was really good so you can just kind of ski by feel. Because you know the ground will be fairly smooth
Absolutey mind blowing video with beautiful footage and a touching subject ! You're killing it, as always ! Keep up the good work !
Man it's crushing to hear Joonas's injury, especially at the beginning of the season. I hope he recovers well, tearing an ACL as any person or athlete, is not easy to come back from and get to full strength again. But Im hoping with how well you bounced back from your Achilles injury, Joonas will recover just as well. His shots to start the season will be sorely missed. Thank you again for another amazing video Niko.
Wonderful pink light you had... Absolutely enjoyed the view❤
Damn! Norway fjalls looks so beautiful, Also very happy for Finn to be back
You're alive! been waiting for this video!
Thanks Nic and best of British to Finn. Sitting in a cabin outside Are, it’s minus 26c and you both made my heart warm
Wow! Great storyline ❤️ wishing all a healthy happy new year! Send some snow to Maine, we have zero!
Your epic photos makes my exiled northern heart beat fast!
Been WAITING FOR A NEW NIKO VIDEO - best late christmas gift ever
I need more Niko !!! great job boys!!
Healing vibes to Joonas! Another wonderful video, can always count on some jaw dropping scenery whenever I see you post a new video!
Another banger! Keep it up! You doing a laidback vlog would be fun to watch. Not sure that you would be interested in making a video showing a typical day in your life, but I think it would be interesting/entertaining. Just thinking of the video of you dealing with your achilles injury and how enjoyable that was to watch (not the injury part obviously hahahaha) but just what you did day to day was cool!
I just love this. Every time. Again and again.
Great work team ❤✌🏼
Thank you so much 😀
so amazing runs and more amzing images😍
What a banger to kick off the new season 😍
Good story!
Another banger as always Niko :)
Great to see Finn back at it. Such a good dude, if you read this Finn I have faith you will be 100% again eventually. Never had cancer but I have had some bad injuries that put me on my ass. It's a crushing feeling for sure.
Nikolai when will the ski equipment video 2024 be uploaded? The ski session is in full swing and I need your opinion!
Just now :D ua-cam.com/video/64GRiFlNODk/v-deo.html
Love watching you flims 👍
So sick!! Epic light!!
Inspiring! Best wishes for Jonas!
damnn, I loved this story! just makes me so motivated to go outside :)
I like you guys somehow very much. Makes me smile .... enjoy it
Get better soon Joonas! Another beautiful movie mate. Just wondering, have you parted ways with Norrona?
such a good video
That Black Crows stash looking fresh 🔥
That is absolutely EPIC!!!!!
Yeeeewww - very enjoyable. Makes me wanna leave my beach and seek empty peaks in the mountains instead of waves.
Definitely a story
Also we need a gear video🥳
Get well soon Joonas!
Another beautiful vid, but I'm amazed that Finn wears eyeglasses while touring! Especially on the uphill and digging pits, I'm impressed that he doesn't fog up his glasses! I started wearing contact lenses for skiing a few years ago specifically to avoid fogging, and especially now that I've started doing sidecountry I can't imagine using glasses again.
Yo! I have a really weak perscription. just slight astigmitism and a little near sighted, so if they fog up i can still see more than good enough to ski. Normally I will where sporty sunglasses if the weather is bad or if it is sunny, but i wear my normal glasses as they are clear when the weather is not to bad, during this polar night season with no sunlight. They usually dont fog until i get back into my house
@@finnhovem4099 Ah, you are lucky you don't need your glasses to ski! And congratulations on your recovery from cancer.
I usually don't have problems with fogging, but yesterday it was warm and foggy and that got the glasses pretty hard. Colder and/or drier conditions, which is what most ppl ski in, are mostly fine
@@finnhovem4099 very happy and moved about your recovery as I was/am going through a similar phase! I know how freaking hard it is to get back into shape... but as you said: just take things easier and enjoy those even more. life is beautiful and avoiding death makes you see that even more. stay safe out there :)
Great video Nikolai! Will there be a training video any time soon? It Instagram it seems you’re a lot more intentional with training this year?
Thank you! There is a big training video in the works, but it will take a while unfortunately. Loads of other videos coming in the more near term though :)
@@Nikolai_Schirmer looking forward to it! And all the others :)
We had booked a cabin right there. Unfortunately, the danger of avalanches was too high for the Storgalten back then. we have to catch up. 😍 Hjertelig hilsen fra Østerrike
thank god you were more careful than in the second avalanche cought us almost
Your skiing and guts are amazing. But one thing where are the back flips in the videos??😉
I would love to do a line in the sun
Oh boy.
Колян красава, как всегда!!!!!!
I’m curious about the story behind the nail paint…
‘A line in the sun’ means something different in Ibiza..
Anytime my buddy or I point it, we call it Nikolaien it. Lordy dorty.
whats the music ?
