- Lyrics: Togwotee Hoedown, Udio AI & Tom M
Gliding fast, I carve a path where no trails dare to lead
Sweeping through the mountain's breath, the crisp air I breathe
[Chorus]
Mountain high, where eagles dare, with spirits flying free
The frosty bite of morning light upon this pure white sea
Trails of laughter echo as my heart feels such delight
In the wonderland of silence, in the snow so white and bright
Skis in rhythm, across the hills, with every powerful stride
Binding nature to my will, with freedom as my guide
[Verse 2]
Branches heavy, dressed in snow, a sight to hold and keep
Motion's dance against the cold, where slopes are vast and steep
[Chorus]
Mountain's crest beneath the azure sky, oh see how far we've come
Each breath a plume of victory, in morning's golden sun
Lyrics: Season's Finale, Udio AI & Tom M
pristine crystals
wonderous fluff
gravity assisted
magical stuff
freeheel in motion
my mind is at ease
a world to explore
no one to please
[chorus]
mountains or valleys
it's all good to me
freeheelings my soul
and makes me whole
Thanks again, Tom. It's hard to imagine that another ski season is over. You really went out on a high note, so to speak, with this video. As always, thanks for the mini-vacation in my day.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It was fun to create and edit. Take care and have a great summer.
Impressive scenery, must visit some day. Quite different to our Scandinavian mountains.
I've never been to Scandinavia but hope to someday. Take care and have a marvelous Summer.
Thanks for a great season of videos!
Thanks for tuning in and have a great week.
Beautiful views. Excellent conditions for skis like 98s. Thank you for video.
I have the 112s and they work great in the deep stuff like this.
@geok9310 Thank you too and have a great weekend.
Thanks for all the videos this winter Tom! I might get out on the sticks another time or two but then it’s on to summer 😎
Sounds great. Have fun and thanks for tuning in.
Beautiful Tom. Definitely looking forward to our Southern hemisphere season with, hopefully, better snow this year.
Cheers
Fingers crossed! All the best from us up North. :)
grazie per i tuoi video!!!
Sei il benvenuto. Grazie per esserti sintonizzato e buona estate. You are very welcome. Thanks for tuning in and have a great summer.
You are doing your own soundtracks now? There is no end to your talent. Quite a variety of music! As for the skiing--I will never tire of these videos, even if you feel they get repetitive. It's always interesting to see recent snow and weather conditions, etc. I did what I believe was just about the same tour, a couple of years ago. I had the idea it was more or less along the CDT, and that snowmobiles were not permitted there...but there were plenty of tracks, anyway. I didn't notice any tracks in your video, so maybe that is an advantage of going later in the season. Sure looked nice! I hope you'll get out skiing a few more times, but have a good summer, too.
I was following the CDT route over Sublette Pass and it is used by snowmobiles. I won't ski this route mid winter for that reason. There were a few groups in the area and I was surprised to see them this late in the year. The fresh snow sure made everything look pristine, but it was very heavy and deep. Not ideal conditions, but a great outing none the less. Thanks for tuning in and have a great off season. :)
So when I thought I was hearing the Mormon Tabernacle Choir I surmised you were getting really nostalgic but reading that you did this with AI... I was astounded. Nice end of season production Maestro!
Thanks @jt3200. Great to hear from you. Looking forward to the next time we can get together. :)
Wow Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
See you next season Tom!
Thanks for tuning in and have a great summer.
Great video Tom! Was curious why you weren’t on your AT skis, but then you mentioned that you probably should have been. Question, were you using the mini skins on your 98’s? Thanks for the cool ski videos!!
I did not use the mini skins on my SBound 98's on this tour, but I did have them along. The traction pattern on these skis works very well on warm wet snow and I just used a lower angle of attack with switchbacks across the slope for the climbs. This particular ski route is a route I used to ski in my youth, last century (1970's), with my brothers, and so I picked the 98's more for nostalgic reasons. It certainly is more of a challenge to ski with lightweight gear than with my plastic boot telemark setup. In hindsight, my Hypervector / Xplore / Alfa Free would have been a better choice for the downhill sections, as the snow was very deep and heavy. I checked the snotel site before I left home and I was expecting a few inches of heavy spring snow on top of a hard consolidated base, but instead there were sections of the trail (away from the snowmobile tracks) where I was sinking 24 inches, and I just couldn't power my turns in the heavy snow. I did make several downhill runs, but they were not very graceful. Just for fun, you might check out this video I posted several years ago, skiing the basic route as this video under June snow conditions, skiing SBound 98's and 3 pin soft leathers. The capability of this setup is similar to what I skied back in the 70's and is similar to the Xplore/Alfa Vista setup in this video. ua-cam.com/video/rT0YKf9_QDs/v-deo.html
Wow beautiful music @ 3:00 - where did you find it?
Both songs in this video were created with the AI software, Udio. It this instance, I provided the lyrics and some specific musical guidance and it was able to generate this song. It is simply amazing.
@@tomm9850 Thanks for the info - bravo!
