  • When Sogndal-based snowboarder Calum Macintyre invited me to come ski the Ryssenipa South ramp in central Norway on a cold February day, I said yes without hesitation. He has a keen eye for spectacular lines, and this one is no exception. With over a thousand meters of vertical drop, most of which is spent above an absolute monster of a cliff wall, this hanging ramp is about as exposed as it gets - yet it turned out to be a very enjoyable experience!

      @@JacobWesterSki 🤘for what it's worth my local ski area is in a national park and back in my day you could buy a single ride lift ticket for five bucks and take a wild ride down the backside of the mountain they cut for the world cup back in the thirties( I'm sure you still can, but not for five bucks). The front side is tiny it's the most east coast mountain in the whole Sierra Nevada. Guess my mountian? Also it's a national park so you can show up and hike it and they can't say shit cause you own it.

    Well done on the line and well done on the patience and filming Sofia.
    So, how many kick turns was it?

      Cheers! I think it ended up being around 150 but can’t remember!

    Great video!
    Was surprised at how far away Sofia stayed to shoot it. Somehow would have expected her to stay closer to the face.
    And don't know how she does nothing for 4,5 h without just sleeping (I would then just oversleep and miss the shot ^^).
    When ski touring in Lyngen, the group wanted to do an additional face in the light. But my fitness in general is pretty bad. So after the first 1200m and 400m descent i let them go since they returned the same way around. I brought my DSLR with a 28-300mm lens and just did some pictures of Zastrugis and snow being blown across them etc. until they reached the still lit part of that face. So i photographed them. One of those photos is still hanging on my wall... So there I only had to wait for ~1h before getting to shoot them. But 4.5h - no chance...
    Short side note:
    Do you use the same edit across different platforms and different uses?
    Just thought that if you place the recommended video in the end card always in the bottom left corner, that the sponsor logo probably should be moved up a bit for the youtube videos. This might mean that you need to make 2 different versions if you use those for other purposes aswell.

      Thank you! Sofia usually comes with us a lot closer to the line or even up the opposite side of the valley to get a better view, but in this case the valley was so tight and the sides so steep, that had she been any closer we wouldn't have been able to talk on the radio due to the cliff being in the way. I agree that so many hours just waiting is pretty wild, and i'm always impressed by her patience, haha!
      thanks for that sidenote, I changed the end screen :)

    Här är ett tips: Ändra textfärgen till gul för att göra texten lättare att läsa. Eftersom snön är vit och texten också är vit kan det vara svårt att urskilja orden.
    Grym video iallafall! 👌💥💯

    • @JacobWesterSki
      @JacobWesterSki  6 місяців тому +1

      Tack, ingen dålig idé! Tycker vitt är snyggare och att det funkade på de flesta ställen ändå. Sen funkar ju ändå youtubes autotexter hyggligt bra om man vill ha det ännu tydligare 🙏🏻
