All that hesitation is everything they should have all paid attention to. A little anxiety is good, but that level is an indicator that a person is out of their element. Glad she wasn't physically hurt.
Yeah, her body was so tight and stiff, she could barely move. I've seen it a lot. I've even been her! When our bodies do that as a response to anxiety it's called "armoring".
Was gonna say the same thing. If you are that apprehensive about a run it’s not going to end well. Great to push the limit but this is just asking for hurt.
As soon as I saw her you can tell she's out of her league. I did the same thing. knew I shouldn't take it due to icing but listened to a friend who went before me. I went after him over a hill and saw him down and hanging on for dear life. Hit the ice and proceeded to cartwheel down and off a cliff half way down. Broke my skis, tore my jacket to shreds and beat the hell out of me getting wedged into an ice boulder field. Never skied anything tough again.
As a skier for many years I hated seeing people trying to ski beyond their ability level. Not only are they putting themselves at risk but also the patrollers often required to rescue them. And I had absolutely no time for more experienced skiers who take them into these situations.
@@cameronbooker445 Do you honestly think Scott Long meant to leave the skis on and point them downhill? No, you side step or side slip. At least that way you can control your descent. If you fall you have a good chance of being able to use the edges of your skis to get stopped. If you don’t have skis there is little chance to dig boots in and get stopped. Without skis on you are sure to become an out of control missile as she did. If there are trees, and hit one, you are screwed. So, no, never take your skis off to get down a hill...
@@cameronbooker445 so dumb XD wonder if any student got hurt. Escpeciali that this coluoir was not steeo nor technical. Looked pretty safe to walk down
In the "old days"... after the Peak Chair was first built there used to be a snowcat operator who used to push that cornice into the couloir at EVERY new snowfall....a very "exciting" procedure (for the operator)...that eventually increased the coverage and also reduced the height of the initial drop-off.
any experienced skier should know not to jump into something without your skis on because then there is no stopping if you fall. :) luckily shes ok tho.
That is called the toboggan maneuver, easiest way down. A lot of people use the toboggan maneuver because it is fun, and technically if you still have your skis on, it is skiing.
Please Joe Wallace. She wasn't terrified. She did what she thought she needed to do and is a better person for it today I'm sure. As a wise rugger once said, that which does not kill us makes us stronger.
@@coldgrowthfarm doesn't make you stronger if you break your leg and do permanent damage. It's irresponsible to encourage someone to do something beyond their skill level
@@coldgrowthfarm I hate that saying. It's lame. Does a car accident that leaves someone a paraplegic make them stronger? No, it makes them unable to walk for the rest of their lives. That she's in over her head is belied by the way she's clinging to the snow and her hesitation.
I cant believe buddy just left her up there by herself when she was clearly uncomfortable going down, which almost always ends bad. I get that you fall when learning, but that drop is deadly if you make a mistake.
Agree! I went to vacation to a friend in France and she took me to Alps and took me with her and her boyfriend to a blue level (i think it was 12 km long) with a crazy drop in the beginning. But it was only my second time skiing and first time in real mountains 😑 let's just say that i had a lot of bruises, thanks God i know how to fall. Also some mountains instructor saw me and explained about colors and the rest of the day i was enjoying skiing on green slope without falling ⛷️
@@owtena A blue run isn't usually dangerous so they may have thought it would be a good teaching to you. a steeper slope (in the limit of what's doable obviously) usually make you learn faster. but it all depend on the person it's just no luck it only made you have a bad time
Pull the chute Jerry! She gone...gone down...down fast : first at the bottom... Like a rocket...head first...the wrong way...sketchy from the get go...downward spiral into the abyss afterward...hard to watch but satisfying at the same time...Keep them coming jErry!
This is crazy this girl should not be on it I Ski it but it is only for very advanced skiers so you’ve got to make sure you can really ski it or it can be dangerous
@@BCmtb i cant sat for certain but i think this is either one of the chutes around Stefans or it might be the cirque or The Couloir up at the prak of Whistler. Ill be there up there on saturday and revisit to confirm.
I'd say that the conditions seem to be more than perfect for this ride... The quality of the snow is very good as well the weather conditions... So why not trying it that day? The fact that she was scared is ok, fear is always respectful, and her choice walking - sliding down finally seemed to be much safer than skiing down and just crashing somewhere... The only point is that the guy should stay last for safety reasons. If she had an accident at the top, it would have been much easier for him to approach her! However I am pretty sure that next time she might try it!
Probably safe to assume that if you’re taking your skis off in that situation, you’ve got no business dropping in on that line. Not a group I’d want to be pushing boundaries with.
That was extremely nice of the guy to help her out sometime to get skiing up on the high mountains avalanche style skiing and people flyby without stopping !!!
If you can't handle that level of difficulties alone, you are the one in wrong environment, not others. Remember, even superwomenz has to deal with the consequences of their choices ...
Was at that same spot with 3 buddy’s and you all clearly had much better snow than we did. And it was not fun! Basically one wrong move and you would be comin down like she did and the nasty snow we were on would have killed somebody. Friend was a local and were all great skiers and snowboarders but should’ve gone after fresh snowfall. She’s lucky she had some speed
Now I'm not a skier... but just what exactly did the genius who tried to put himself in the path of her slide think he was gonna do? Arrest the fall of an adult human who was travelling at high speed down a mountainside? Do his ski poles also function as magic wands?
Just a bunch of gorbs stopped, hanging out in the middle of couloir for some reason, side slipping the snow down it. That’s a run that when you drop in, you ride through it and get out so someone else can try to enjoy the snow you’ve now scraped off it weirdly. Etiquette.
I tomahawked backwards down this after my ski dug into the snowpack on a mandatory 10' drop in one year. I've been skiing Whistler all my life and the mountain reminded me who is boss - the fall cracked my ankle. It's steep, more than 45 if not 50 degrees some years at the top. This looks doable. Some years it is a real horrorshow with that cornice.
I did that on Excitation about 10 years ago. I was riding demo skis and one popped off when I dropped in. Things did not go as planned but fortunately no injuries.
I just did the run a week ago and the camera doesn’t do it justice. Standing up there on the edge is a crazy feeling. I went down the extreme one at black comb.
Not the funnest way to the bottom, but then again in the words of Wayne Gretzky, you'll miss 100% of the shots you don't take. At least she tried and didn't get hurt. I never got to be a good skier by not pushing myself.
She was not skiing as she was holding her skis in her hands... I think she just practice falling off a cornice...or maybe she was practising how to become an emergency department customer...
This is honestly hard to watch. With that much snow, I would jump right into that. These people need to take advantage of their powder. Maybe by whistler standards that isn't good, but by Vermont standards that is a powder day
The girl in the video is a East Coaster, the way she talks it's easy to know she's from Quebec. She was just not experienced enough to do that couloir.
So this was originally filmed in black and white? How old is the footage? Feels more modern than that. Regarding the title, I think it's spelt 'colour'.
not as steep as it looks. I fell only once there cause my ski binding decided to release during my first turn. I laughed all the way down. It's not the kind of place that if you fall you die. I know it looks pretty steep on the video but it is really not bad at all.
My friend's mom fell down the entire run and ended up with a terrible concussion. You can definitely hurt yourself pretty bad on it if you go up when the snow is lackluster, but other than that this run is a breeze. Confused as to why she went down the run without her skis on. Doesn't seem like a great idea on any run, let alone the steepest one on blackcomb.
Hello edudikstno, is it possible to contact you regarding this video (i.e. via email)? We would be interested to discuss a license to use this video if this is generally possible to discuss? :) Cheers, Felix
If you cant do a solid jump turn on 135cm skis, stay well away from couliors. That said, I use to jump turn 216s and get stuck sideways between rocks 🤣.
Was in the days of 'longer is better' Glen Plake was using 208s in the bumps so i thought 'bugger it ill get 216s n power down big alpine lines. Trees and tight spots were far from ideal but at 40 degrees plus gradient you can near jump turn anything.
I wouldn’t mind trying this run someday…..I have been skiing for 40 years and have always tried to challenge myself a little more each time I ski. I would need to work my way up to this slope for sure and definitely NOT do it on the first or last run of the day. Glad to see she made it down ok, people have suffered far worse. Paying $$$ for a day with an experienced instrctor is money well spent IMO, especially when trying tackle a run like this.
I've been there, its a lot tougher now cuz Whistler peak is on a glacier and the ice has melted a lot so its rocky and steeper. Still possible 100% but a lot more sketch
@bjbhehir I'm not a big fan of people being where they shouldn't be, but getting in over your head every once in a while is the only way to push your limits...and I don't see that she really put anybody else in danger
@@johns3106..... but if she got hurt now about 3 ski patrol have to save her and that puts them in danger because of her stupidity! I agree with testing your limits but she was in way over her head, clueless!
@bjbhehir Yep...if I was standing there waiting on her, I would probably be pissed at the delay, and muttering under my breath that she shouldn't be there...but hey, we're entering a slippery slope when we start saying who should and shouldn't be in spots like this, because when you really get down to it: should any of us be jumping into a steep couloir?! Wouldn't it be safer for everyone if we just stayed on the couch?! As far as patrol being in potential danger on a rescue...THAT'S THEIR JOB! If they don't like it, they can always find something else to do. As someone who works a dangerous job (when I'm not skiing) I have very little tolerance for people working potentially hazardous jobs whining about the fact that they may have to put themselves in danger. If the danger aspect of your job really bothers you, you need to find another career!
While I admire that guy's noble attempt to stop her from sliding, it was better that he missed. At the speed she was going down head first, if she had hit him in the legs, not only could she have severely injured his legs, knees or ankles, she could have gotten injured as well. Head, neck and shoulder injuries were a very real possibility is she hit him. At the rate she was sliding down that slope, she was just a 120lbs cannon ball. Now instead of just one person sliding down the mountain, you have two and both with possible serious injuries. She wasn't sliding towards rocks or a cliff and had a better chance of survival the further down she went since the incline was less severe below them.
Honestly, growing up skiing, this looks terrible but it is a rite of passage. We may have gone down them on our bottoms but we had bragging rights that we made it!

As a former instructor, one of the first things I taught was to NEVER take your skis off. Skis have edges, boots do not!

@@ezpznoob8092 you're right
Everyone in this vid is out of their depth, playing at being advanced expert level. Good way to meet a pretty nurse.
She sent it.
She was haulin ass. Wow.
That was wonderful!
While I admire that guy's noble attempt to stop her from sliding, it was better that he missed. At the speed she was going down head first, if she had hit him in the legs, not only could she have severely injured his legs, knees or ankles, she could have gotten injured as well. Head, neck and shoulder injuries were a very real possibility is she hit him. At the rate she was sliding down that slope, she was just a 120lbs cannon ball.
Now instead of just one person sliding down the mountain, you have two and both with possible serious injuries. She wasn't sliding towards rocks or a cliff and had a better chance of survival the further down she went since the incline was less severe below them.
1:32 "you going to go down?" 2:35 "I think she's got a touch of common sense."
She's not experienced enough I could tell in 5 seconds of this vid
‘Looked like quite a ride eh’
"I think she has a touch of common sense"...
Honestly, growing up skiing, this looks terrible but it is a rite of passage. We may have gone down them on our bottoms but we had bragging rights that we made it!
I'm glad common sense just touched her, and not kick her into another blood type, like it normally does when it's so blatantly ignored.
They're called 'arresting devices' for a reason.
buddy shoulda walked his board up with him wth lmaoooo
Skiers!
Take up the board and ride it like a toboggan, when it gets too much! Boarders perogative!
What goes up, must come down!
If you're hesitating that much its above your skill level. Also not cool of her friends to just leave her lol.
Its odd the way people are determined to go on a slope they don't have the ability for ,some strange compulsion there .
