I could definitely get through that. I’m very confident that the slope is steep enough that at least some of my body parts would make it out the bottom
I could easily get through that too. once
I could get a toe through atleast, I feel very confident about that.
just have to remember "pizza ... french fry. pizza..."
I almost died as I read your comment Tee. My luck I’d break a leg and get wedged in there somewhere. Lol
happy wheels style
The camera angle doesn’t give the steepness any justice. So much crazier than you guys made it look
It never does
True dat! This is a very good example of how helmet-mounted gopro doesnt show the angle right!! Some guys use a gopro mounted on a stick looking down on the skier, and that can have the opposite effect: making it look steeper than it actually is.
This run is actually insane - one mistake in the gauge and hes likely dead...
Line of the Millennium.
He's on skis
Its true, but from the helicopter view we can see that he is almost free falling in the mountain
Just completed my beginner's day course for snowboarding. Think I'm about ready to try this out.
A: not only is it ridiculously steep B: your terrible at it C: go pro doesn't capture depth perception or snow depth
@@llamalukeyt7533 he's 10000% trolling how did you miss that??
@@g_webb21 It's a fortnite kid, what do you expect?
Been snowboarding 18 years and as awesome as that looks you'd never see me do it.
@@llamalukeyt7533 No response? Maybe take the L
Literally a free fall without cohesion. I skied Corbets Collier back in the 70's and thought I arrived. This is a whole new level.
Yep. That's slightly above my skiing skills....
VincentTG just a tad
i could do that on one ski backwards lol
Nah its pretty easy
VincentTG just a bit
@@oldskoolpaul89 stfu
I'm surprised his balls made it through that tight opening at the end...
upvote that guy
r/noContext
He does scream pretty high.
That's what she said
expect major shrinkage at that temperature and attitude.
'The scariest thing I've ever done.'
The understatement of all-time.
I think whats most incredible is how much he is able to slow down with such little room to work with. Anyone who has skied knows slowing down at all with that little of room is impossible for anyone who isn't extremely experienced.
Legs of steel.
Pretty straight forward? No no no... You don't understand how incredibly steep that is. I don't care if the snow is perfectly smooth, that is a treacherous impossible line. There is no turning to slow your speed because its narrow. Absolutely insane
aboctok lol ...he's right though that ski line was beyond insane
You do not turn to slow your speed. You turn to minimize instability. If you want to slow down then you simply break, just like he did trough out most of the line. I guess there was a short part near the end where it was to narrow to really break. That was the only time he was at any level of risk. A miss-carve could have sent him in to the cliff. But with such speed that is quite unlikely. If it did happen his ski would have jumped up an he would have been forced to ride on one ski. Hopefully the other ski wouldn't hit the wall. If it did then it would hopefully fall of an he could have maintained his balance on one ski.
In worst case scenario he would have hurt him self really badly. But that would have mostly been after the end of the rift. The lack of obstacles makes this line far safer than many others. If he would have hade to avoid a rock/cliff at the end then that would have made this line far more dangerous.
@@MegaBanne The fuck are you talking about? Hope that the ski falls of so he can balance on one ski?
@@MegaBanne You, my friend, are hilarious. "Far safer than many others" What a moron.
@@MegaBanne that is an awful lot of presumptions
To put steepness in perspective: when he gets out of the “rock tunnel” the slope seems to get flat; then a few seconds later you realize that “flat” is ridiculously steep compared to real flat at the end of the slope! Crazy!!!
"the real flat at the end" is even too steep for me =P
dude, all i need is to look at 0:41 and i realize this is basically jumping down a hole with two skis mounted on
Obviously the opening view from the helicopter is striking, but if you pause at 0:15, it just looks outrageously steep and narrow. Love this video
This is bananas. My brain thought that the vertical fissures in the rock were horizontal. Absolutely insanely steep.
Everyone in the comments who thinks this looks like a walk in the park; a GoPro has a 160•-180• angle so everything looks wider than it is, he is shooting out of the couloir in about 70MPH (which is fast in a groomed slope and this certainly isn't) and all the sluff at the bottom makes it a huge risk to even attempt, plus the steepness is over 60% of 90• wich is the limit for a ski to hold his edge. This is not something that everyone could do, nor is it anything everybody has done. Travis was first but didn't release the clip because it's feautured in his coming film, but to me it's amazing that two (!!) people thought about doing that line.. Totally insane and awesome!
Btw, they named it the Vigina for obvious reasons ;)
+Casper Stein The wide angle lens of a GoPro makes the centre of the field of view look relatively smaller while making stuff to the sides look bigger. In couloirs GoPros usually make it look more challenging than it actually is, because they make the exit of the couloir look smaller while the rock walls to either side appear bigger and more imposing.
+shredcity this is very true, and I stand corrected. Though, I still stand by my claim that it's damn hard and scary to do 😉👍🏼 all love!
+Casper Stein ahhh I was just being argumentative ;) totally agree with everything else you've said, an amazing line!
another big thing with go pros is that everything looks way less steep than it does in person. This is crazy steep and people are like, "I've skied steeper at my home mountain." no. no you haven't. and for the 1% of you who actually have, it was nowhere near this technical or fast. 1 small mistake and he is 100% dead.
I hate the people who say *i can so do that it looks so easy*
That last section of uncontrolled high speed no fall zone before the quick turn to avoid that wall.. insane
I'm going for my 4th time ever Skiing on this Friday, and I'm trying to learn how to hockey stop. Seeing this gives me such confidence
Absolutely superb! I could feel the rush!
I would be like a damn ping pong ball off those walls and they would rename the crevasse "meat grinder" after my demise.
Trippin off the beat kinda drippin off the meat grinder
You hit those rock sides, and you're shredded!!
Oh the mess
😂😂😂
I'm pretty sure I've done this as well...
At home, on my playstation, while playing steep

If you are going to risk your life, try and get Red Bull to pay for it before you do it. If you are going to do stuff that is borderline suicidal you might as well make some money.
im sure he is sponsored by salomon and other stuff
I bet he earned more money for doing that, vs. what you made last year...
These guys don’t do it for money, they do it for love of the sport. Those who master their crafts do not go into with the intention of making money, hints why they become so good at it and why they can ski lines like this.
@@codyk.8104 Yeah, but if you are going to do it anyway, you might as well make money at it so you can do what you love. It's very expensive to do that stuff.
shut the fuck up

Thumbs up because the comment is just so weird.
Insane! Best run I've ever seen!!
Congratulations man, seriously, well done - Ive been skiing all my life on and off and have done some questionable stuff - but this? - um,,,no - I`d base jump that before I would ski it.
@Sunfeld Jiramhir Hahaha - I’m not as dumb as you look
@@Rockit- damn that might be the best insult I've ever seen
@@Rockit- did he have a profile picture? he took it off lmao
Pretty tubular dude
Areeeeeeeeeaaaaal Nice! CHEAH!
kinda steeper some gootyholes i know of . that mountains name is Mushroom Tip Hill

Totally radical maaan

He wasnt skiing, that was a free fall my dude
He should of bought a parachute instead of skis.
Thumbs up for referring to us as "my dude."
Falling with style!
A physicist would strongly disagree. Even a plain skier would.
Not a free fall since he was making super tight turns to slow his speed and stay in control.
Never seen snow, but this brings me to tears.. seeing someone living a peak life.
Na, I’ve spent most of my 50 years skiing and not until this year did I final find peak life. They put these lounge chairs at the bottom of the solitude mountain resort. They are so comfortable after two mad hits down a green(easy) run, you can just kick back and rest before you tackle some more turns. Now that’s living !
Good for you! Thanks for sharing the ride...was AWESOME!!!!
That "I'm still alive" cheer at the end
0:56 was like that scene from Star Wars ep.1 where Anakin's pod racer just BARELY manages to squeeze through that gap in the canyon, during the big race.
I pissed my pants on both occasions.
Or yknow, the death star trench run in the original one. Why do people still remember episode 1 O.o
darwin poop
Answer to your question....Darth Maul. Only thing cool in the movie.
We don't talk about Star Wars 1. Hush child
^ someone is insecure.
haha damn 0-100 on this thread
It looked like tracks before him,and no blood on the wall good job,at keeping us entertained.
Thank you,and stay safe!!
WOW!!!! What is going through one's mind looking down that chute before you push off. No doubt you have to be an excellent skier but wow you got to have tons of courage. I don't think I could eve stand up there without being tied in to something. Amazing!! Glade you made it.
What would be going through my mind?
"Um guys, I'm going back. I think I need to change my drawers!" 😂
Actually I'm wondering if you even have to be a good skier I mean you just have to do one thing and that's point them down and whether you want to or not you're going to get through to the other side I think the song that comes to mind is break on through to The other side
Have to say that it was an incredible run & very worthy of Line of the Year!
IS it a myth not to scream loudly on these type of mountains to avoid triggering avalanches?
Balls of steel! No margin for error makes this a truly death defying feat!
That should be the title. - Balls of steel.
Its not only about steepness and line... Its also abaut light contrast... Man... when he comes out of tunnel to light... Unbeleivable!
Wow. Thanks for the fantastic visuals
That’s hands down line of the decade. Holy crap. Balls of steel. Nice work.
It's great to see matchstick get this kinda of coverage. Right on keep making insane ski movies. Sip Shane, Jp, and Sarah
A wonderful blend of talent skill and cgi nice work it all looked very real
I return every ski season to watch this and it still gives me chills. Freaking awesome man!
Fantastic View!
seen that run 100x's and my stomach is in knots every time....Cody is a young "GOAT", climbs and looks like one too...Namaste
Next time someone says one of my stunts are crazy, Im just gonna show them this video.
😮
*LIKE A BOSS* 😎
Well done mate, well done !!
Now THAT was way rad
Great run and footage
His impressions are 🔥🔥 no one can understand it unless he tries ... so close,but phenomenal
This dude is a badass! Gave me chills when the first person view cam came up showing how close those rock walls were...props!
that was fun to watch, thanks!
Video makes it look like I could ski it but I know full well this would be a challenging one to actually come through on
its funny, when you see it from the copter you're like OMG thats undoable! but when you see it from his POV camera, its like oh yeah that's actually pretty straight forward, steep, hell yes, extreme, hell yes but it was smooth snow all the way through the gap, no rocks or drop offs.
Have you ever gone skiing? its all soft, and deep, wich as a non-pro skiing person is a HELL.
no way did you just try and lessen how insane this was
You have no idea about freeskiing... He is going about 60mph there, and its super steep, one mistake and his life is over...
At that speed and with the rock walls that tight, a slight mistake in pressuring the skis and you will smash into the rock walls and get your mangled, pulverized body spit out the bottom..
I said it was straight forward, not simple, nowhere did I say simple, get that correct. Maybe "straight forward" was not the right choice of words. I even said it was hell yes steep and hell yes extreme, so dont go putting words in my mouth I never said, I am in awe of this stuff, and your right I have never done anything remotely as insane as this, my kahones are too small, all I meant to say was that once he got going, it was clear snow, no rocks, no drop offs, so "straight forward" in that way, in an *extremely* downhill direction.
I have never seen anything like this before that was impressive and what a beautiful location
I always admire ppl could do this kind of crazy stuff
Amazing. That was quite an accomplishment. That's one for the books.
Congratulations Man! That was the Fastest & Tightest Line ever skied! Balls Of Steel!
"dude I forgot to hit record"
I like anything else that is incredibly difficult you made it look easy
That was utterly AWESOME!!!!!!
What an insane run, so narrow and steep through the chute. I like steep and deep but this is light-years above my abilities!!
The freedom you feel when you ski.
Great work
I can feel the excitement in his cheers
What a coincidence, I'm doing a line right now.
I think they meant Skiing on white powder; not snorting it.
I think you are an idiot.
Watch out for those blacks. They'll beat you up.
Cirris are people on the internet really that stupid? Like you couldnt tell he knew that..?
are you people on the internet really that stupid ? like you could'nt tell that he knew that he knew that he knew that ?

He didn't need skies... he needed a parachute. That being said.
Well done my man. Well done.👊

2022 and this is still gnars to the wall, balls of granite, steel and every other mineral, out and out , the most insane line choice and skiing ....... IN THE WORLD EVER !!!!!!!!
there were numerous other ski tracks in the camera view that were not made in this video so this had been done in multiple takes.
That moment when someone shouts "Avalanche!!!"
I could probably pizza wedge down this.
pizza is a food of the devil. it makes people so fat they can't even get two church.
avoid pizza like the devil, for as teh devil will doom you to hell so will the pizza
Paul Devlin You are wrong sir. You have already been condemned to Hell from the moment of your birth. Read John 3:18.
Why? Because you have not believed (alone) on the name of the only begotten Son of God - Jesus.
That is the one and only reason one gets sent to Hell.
Jacob Becomes Israel Then what's the deal with the 10 Commandments?
Jacob Becomes Israel
Which one of the Jesus do you want us to believe in..the Australian, Korean, Russian etc. LOL
Jacob Becomes Israel
So any tribesmen that you see in documentaries that have no contact with missionaires are condemned because they were born in a different place then you and anyone who was born before 1 A.D. is condemned as well because they didn't have anyone to believe in? Seems fair.
Absolutely insane!!! We can't tell very well the steepness of the slope but must be higher than what is perceived in the video. This makes expert skiers look like amateurs!!!
That made me LOL! That was awesome 🥹
Wow that was unreal !
fantástico, parabéns, você se superou, adorei, amei, você é muito corajoso e determinado..
This is some legendary stuff!
Skill and loads of courage!
As good as I am I would never try that. That's crazy. Barely enough room to carve a tiny turn to control speed....wow.
to be fair the guy in the video was going flat out most the way
Turning is for bots, straight line until the friction from the grass at the bottom of the mountain stops you
Air resistance will slow him down eventually.
@@oblivionjaycee no, he was making a lot of quick, short turns. You can count how many times his skis changed directions.
You're not good enough then

WoooHooo!!!! Awesome!!! That took stones. Love it!
Skied this yesterday, was pretty cool
Wow the new steep game looks awesome, imagine if someone actually did this in real life tho, now that would be impressive
Ya but keep dreaming. This would be impossible in real life.
That was Awesome!!!!! Wow, had to watch a few times, what a rush it must have been :)
what was a rush was George Bush's election. i still remember my families excitement
god bless that man and evrything he did for amarica
Paul Devlin hahahahahahahah
This is just mental!
I named a new slope at Big Boulder in the Poconos: Course Description: Double Black Diamond, 5 meters down to 1.5 meters width... like that, very vertical (forget the details, this was '91) granite walls, and and there was maybe 20 m open at the top the rest was granite walls. Basically, it was a chimney, so my contest entry pointed that out: "CHIM-KNEE SWEEP" was my winning entry!!
Probably did white lines before doing that white line.
Hah! You're a genius
Hahahaha! Funny shit right there!
But imagine the rush!

LMAO!
*What’s the music playing in the background?*
I skied the same line just yesterday, gutted there was no one around to film me.
Never forget that run!!!

Is there another skiing line cooler than this one? There are a couple of videos or shots that come to mind… but as far as single lines I think that is #1 of all time. Congrats
Grandpa how did u go to school in the old times

Also some respect to Travis Rice and Eric Jackson who have ridden the same line before.
Narcis late reply but they were also the ones who made that line possible by digging the hole at the bottom out
That was amazing.
Bad ass Great job!
