I would be the worst ski patroller 😂... I did hear him say yep as I passed by and the camera didn't pick it up... If I didn't hear anything I would have stopped.
Dude is so f'n stoked! It reminds me of a buddy that said that 'Skiing fresh, steep, big mountain pow is better than sex!' ...I said he was full of it, and asked him just what kind of 'sex' he'd been having... So, he asked what kind of 'pow' I'd been riding! Lol. Either way, this looked like a (metric) fuck-ton of fun! Always love the opening day stoke. (@5:42-6:02... 'What better time than the present'- that was a GREAT little line!)
Haha. Winter ain’t back. And it ain’t coming back. The conditions look awful. But gotta love the enthusiasm and positivity. Enjoy it. Be gone tomorrow. No winter for bc this year unfortunately 🍺🇨🇦
Clear Sky & Sunshine... It's shocking that I even have sun lenses.. Great thing is they are always scratch free given how little I use them at WHistler hahaha
Glad Whistler got some snow, most places are struggling. Need to see a clip of the skis at the end of each day... You can hear a lot of rock in the video... You certainly make the best out of what you get!
Duude that one video a week or a few weeks ago with all the exposed rock and ice was so depressing....but this video was epic the first few runs conditions were sick! Good for you guys up there because you needed the snow.! Please send some snow down to Jackson Hole
I am going to o he skiing Whistler for the first time this Saturday. From the island spend all my time at Mount Washington, really looking forward to checking out your house. Always amazing videos!
It's sooo good. I've never actually skied it fully groomed top to bottom. Hopefully one of these years I'll get it. Always sunshine and a kick ass view when the sky is bluebird.
Awesome vid. Dunno how you ski that shit. I just see hazards, shit for my ski to hang up on and variable edge pressure/ throbbing thighs and knees when I imagine skiing that.
Thanks! It's def variable out there and requires some back seat driving. Definitely feeling it in my knees this season and longing for the days where I can commit to forward pressure every turn in the pow.
@@riseandalpine that's good to know. I always try to ride like I'm in a lesson. Maybe I need to switch it up a bit more. How do you avoid skiing over your own ski? I hear them hit each other all the time.
I'm really loving them, the grip is a touch wider than what I'm used too but love the long neck for touring and climbing. The most important thing for me is that a pole is bombproof and the clip adjusters don't fail. So far they are checking all the boxes!
Ayy glad you got some snow over there finally 💪 We just had a storm start to roll through the UK so will be hitting up the nevis range in scotland in the next couple days to take advantage of the snow!
😅Finally some ok skiing. Still have to watch out for all those rocks just under the surface. Going to need a number of large dumps of snow to get all the couloir open. Still lots of rocks showing on 7th heaven.
All the guys around me were my buddies... It's a free for all on Shale slope, it's part of the Whistler magic. For backcountry and other lines I totally agree you should let the first person there ride the line.
I started editing using the insta360 studio desktop. It takes more time but allows you to export in much higher resolution. I had a secondary camera on my chest which captures audio with much less wind muffling.
That’s amazing! Which day was this? We are here this week and haven’t seen the peak running at all, and harmony was only running for like two hours so far. Is there a trick to knowing when it’s open?
Hey! Peak opened on the 23rd and I just got lucky. Harmony was great for the two hours that it opened yesterday. My trick is usually to check the winds and see if chairs will realistically open (maybe under 80kph) and then the easiest way is to see if the chairs are on the lift line and if bombing has stopped.
@@riseandalpine thanks! Looks like we missed a small window today too but with the snow at the peak tomorrow might be a solid day. Keep up the great content! You’ve been a huge help in our planning of the trip here.
So when you came off the Peak Express lift, did you go off the back side? Or just wrap around the peak and come out the front? Im trying to figure out which runs you hit when you came off the Peak Express lift? Ill be there next month and am planning my routes :)
The first run he did was Whistler Bowl followed by Shale Slope. It's a fun run! Just the entrance can be a little bit tricky especially if there's a crowd of people at the top.
@@belowtwentyAhh, thank you. Look like the way he went just missed the double black drop in. Im not a huge double guy, so the route he showed on his video is probably what I would hit. Whistler Bowl looks fun!
Both of those options are great. Bent is more playful in the 120 size. Enforcer is a damper harder charging ski. My preference is Nordica but can't go wrong with either
LOL i love the "are you alright?" while flying by with no intention of stopping or hearing his response
I would be the worst ski patroller 😂... I did hear him say yep as I passed by and the camera didn't pick it up... If I didn't hear anything I would have stopped.
love this guy
Agreed
Thanks Sterling!
Great to see whistler finally filling in, as always stay safe out there homie! Keep the gnar coming
Thanks dude - same to you! The season will slowly shape up.
Always great to see unedited Whistler clips that show how much traversing needs to done to get Those Goods.
soooo true... that is a small mission lol
Whistler has the least direct fall line of any mountain 😂😂. Gives it it's character...
Alta..........@@riseandalpine
It will be skied off in a day!
Without a reset Whistler always gets skied out in a day
@@riseandalpine all popular ski resorts get skied off after a snow event.
Heck yes!!! Nothing gets me more stoked for the hill than hearing that ”WHOOOOOO!!! YEAH BABY!!!” 😍😍😍
My lack of cardio adds some suspense eh 😂
With those prices, and those crowds, makes me not miss W&B. I will say, your hill ski lap management is on point! I'd love to follow you for a day! :)
I was in the same line as you and I was just as pumped to see that winter is back!!!
Ayyyee!!! Glad you got some of the goods. Turned out to be such a good afternoon for those that just so happened to be there.
Totally!!
Dude is so f'n stoked!
It reminds me of a buddy that said that 'Skiing fresh, steep, big mountain pow is better than sex!'
...I said he was full of it, and asked him just what kind of 'sex' he'd been having...
So, he asked what kind of 'pow' I'd been riding!
Lol. Either way, this looked like a (metric) fuck-ton of fun! Always love the opening day stoke. (@5:42-6:02... 'What better time than the present'- that was a GREAT little line!)
Depends on how accessible sex is in one's life I guess...
"What kind of 'pow' have you been riding" 😂... I'm dying laughing. One of my favourite comments of all time.
You know you look good when you got a wild Stan Rey eyeing you down. @4:21
Holy smokes! Had no idea he was behind me hahaha. I've always wanted to chase him around the mountain but I'd stand no chance LOL. That man can ski!
looks like you are having a good ole time out there. love watching the shenanigans
Thanks for always tuning in. Best day yet!
Haha. Winter ain’t back. And it ain’t coming back. The conditions look awful. But gotta love the enthusiasm and positivity. Enjoy it. Be gone tomorrow. No winter for bc this year unfortunately 🍺🇨🇦
Gotta enjoy the pockets when we get them!
Crazy Lines my guy, I really enjoy watching your videos! Hopefully I can do these lines one day, keep up the work!!!
Thanks Phil! I hope you get to tear up these lines one day as well :)
The "you alright" as he's flying by at 3:21 😂
LOL - good thing I'm not ski patrol
That second lap what mayhem 😮
I've never seen anything like it 😂😂 a total mad house 😂
Looks nice up there !
New snow, sun lenses on....
The PNW dream.
Yeeeewww!!
Clear Sky & Sunshine... It's shocking that I even have sun lenses.. Great thing is they are always scratch free given how little I use them at WHistler hahaha
Hallelujah!
Epic as usual! Beautiful blue bird day! Livin' the dream my man! BTW your sauce is amazing!
That was great vid. I miss that day of powder. Glad you enjoyed it. Hope they will be more to come....
I hope so too. Snuck in some good fresh turns on Harmony Yesterday but the wet stuff came back with vengeance today :(
Finally!! GO GET IT BABY!!!
Feels good to get some real turns again!
This weekend was so good, finally had cold snow. 4 days of skiing/touring/hiking has totally cooked my legs tho 🤣
Glad you took advantage of the cold weather before the warm temps came back
Can’t wait, I’ll be there in 2 days
Yeehaw!
So glad whis is finally getting some snow
It's slowly but surely accumulating in the Alpine. Mid/Lower mountain is still super barren.
I got my first ride of the season at my local resort (very small in sweden) last weekend, felt great
What resort?
Sick!!! Glad you're back on the planks again.
😮😮😮 great powder whistler is back
It feels so much better than East Coast Whistler 😂
This is the Year That Rise and Shine broke the Whistler internet.
To the moon!
hes back
Glad Whistler got some snow, most places are struggling. Need to see a clip of the skis at the end of each day... You can hear a lot of rock in the video... You certainly make the best out of what you get!
I'll add on some ski base updates in future videos
James you get yourself into a hell of a jam sometimes 😂😂
Tell me about it 😂
Can feel the panic on that first run hahaha
Can hear it in my heavy breathing eh 😂
Looks like you had a great time! Nice to see that the resort is fully open now with some epic powder.
Great to have some more terrain open! We still need snow, but it's a solid start
Sunsine and pow..... you lucky duck....keep m' coming.
Best combo in the world!
Looking great. Glad you got some pow! Thanks for posting👍🇬🇧
Felt good to be on some decent snow again! Glad you enjoyed this one.
Coming up next week from California and I’m very happy to see things are looking better!
If I see you up there I’m getting a hot sauce shot!!
Yeehaw! Hopefully the alpine can stay solid
You’re still going to be disappointed. Warm weather and rain still continue….but luckily it’s also still choked with people.
@@riseandalpine 🙏
@@sdot5389 any day on the snow is better than one not. My side hit optimism is high
My son and I are heading to Whistler the end of January. Can’t wait
Love the videos keep up the good work
Thanks so much!
I've never seen so many rocks in west cirque in my life!
I felt too many of those under my skis 😂
Mans getting me hyped to use my 2-Day Edge card up!!!
Ayyeee - Worth waiting until mid winter for sure!
Duude that one video a week or a few weeks ago with all the exposed rock and ice was so depressing....but this video was epic the first few runs conditions were sick! Good for you guys up there because you needed the snow.! Please send some snow down to Jackson Hole
Such a good first few laps.. It's looking grim down low for us but the first 300m of the alpine is skiing good. We gotta ski what we can right now!
Sick dude! So glad to see some snow!
My Pacific Northwest mountain looks like this 🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨❄️🪨🪨🪨🪨…way more rocks than snow still. Glad your mountain 🏔️ looks better 👍
THE GOAT

Thanks!

Good luck. Your experience will likely be awful.
Go to big white ski resort (BC Canada) please
Peak To Creek One Of My Favorites
It's sooo good. I've never actually skied it fully groomed top to bottom. Hopefully one of these years I'll get it. Always sunshine and a kick ass view when the sky is bluebird.
Glad to see you getting the goods 🤙🏻
Thanks dude. Feels good to be riding some softer snow!
amaazing
Missing the west coast. Been back east for 3 seasons now. Bout to head back. I miss it. Nice video. Cheers!!
Glad to hear you're coming back to town!
yeah baby
My two favourite words in the english language
If Austin Powers was a ski bro 😎 glad it’s good up top!
GROOVY BABY
sick
Some epic turns in there!🔥
Feels good to be on some real snow again!
You should put a speed and gradient tracker up in the top corner of the video. Thanks for the video.
That would be a super cool addition. I'll see if my camera supports something like that.
Awesome vid. Dunno how you ski that shit. I just see hazards, shit for my ski to hang up on and variable edge pressure/ throbbing thighs and knees when I imagine skiing that.

@@riseandalpine that's good to know. I always try to ride like I'm in a lesson. Maybe I need to switch it up a bit more.
How do you avoid skiing over your own ski? I hear them hit each other all the time.
Watching jealously from Ontario where we still have no snow and none on the forecast
Amazing get there on the 31st praying alpine will be open with the snow fall tonight
Hopefully they get the chairs spinning for you!
How do you like the Deorum poles? My favorite adjustables right now are the 4FRNT Uptrack!
I'm really loving them, the grip is a touch wider than what I'm used too but love the long neck for touring and climbing. The most important thing for me is that a pole is bombproof and the clip adjusters don't fail. So far they are checking all the boxes!
This is snowboarders hell lol the moguls just from the 2nd run is crazy
Whistler bowl gets skied out nearly immediately on a Pow day
Ayy glad you got some snow over there finally 💪 We just had a storm start to roll through the UK so will be hitting up the nevis range in scotland in the next couple days to take advantage of the
snow!
Glad you'll be hunting the snow too. You'll have to let me know how it goes.
@@riseandalpine Will do m8, All the best
Well on your way to 20K mate !! .
It feels crazy to say that. Feeling super blessed to be growing with such an awesome community of skiers.
😅Finally some ok skiing. Still have to watch out for all those rocks just under the surface. Going to need a number of large dumps of snow to get all the couloir open. Still lots of rocks showing on 7th heaven.
Totally! 7th is still a ways away which sucks. Once that chair is spinning it opens up so much fun terrain access that we've been missing.
I'm glad you don't ski behind me. so much for the skiers code.
All the guys around me were my buddies... It's a free for all on Shale slope, it's part of the Whistler magic. For backcountry and other lines I totally agree you should let the first person there ride the line.
What is the song you play when drinking the hot sauce?
Lords of the land - Xavy Rusan
You are the man! Best show on UA-cam!!!
5:59 WUAAUAHAUHAAUH
:) :)
So James, mid season mentality with early season sharks still lurking? You got some great lines there Pal. Peace Out
The Rocks are still under the snow
You can hear em' hiding!
So jealous right now!
Picked one lucky day to go up Whistler!
Be careful out there. Tore my mcl on a rock fall there last week.
Oh no.. Sorry to hear that. Hope the recovery is fast!
Beautiful wish I could be there
The day turned out so sweet!
Used to work on whistler. Peak chair allways scared the shit outta me 😂😂😂
Blows my mind that they engineered a chair over that rock.
Ayyyyy
Yeehaww!
I want to go to whistler for a season or two after school
You totally should!
Peanut butter and Jealous right now
😂
yk when i looked at the whistler bowl entrance when I went there, I nearly shit my pants
Whistler bowl entrance can look gnarly
more like rain!
It ain't rain if you're high enough!
Winter is gone again this week. Rain up to halfway on Jersey Cream. Pretty busted even up high.
Somebody, anybody, spin Glacier.
We had sweet turns on Harmony Yesterday (26th)... Looks like the rain made another visit today unfortunately
the video and audio quality from the insta360 x3 are looking much better... what did you change?
I started editing using the insta360 studio desktop. It takes more time but allows you to export in much higher resolution. I had a secondary camera on my chest which captures audio with much less wind muffling.
The creepy predator breathing is a nice touch.
😂😂😂
That’s amazing! Which day was this? We are here this week and haven’t seen the peak running at all, and harmony was only running for like two hours so far. Is there a trick to knowing when it’s open?
Peak opened Saturday I believe.
Hey! Peak opened on the 23rd and I just got lucky. Harmony was great for the two hours that it opened yesterday. My trick is usually to check the winds and see if chairs will realistically open (maybe under 80kph) and then the easiest way is to see if the chairs are on the lift line and if bombing has stopped.

Looks awesome. So that was before the new rains came?
After
This was on December 23rd. The snow was also great yesterday but I can't speak for the Alpine today because it didn't open.
Thanks, heading there on Tuesday for a long planned trip. Needed a little hope! What's the latest update on the conditions?
Yesterday Blackcomb opened the alpine and it was freaking awesome!
Finally some snow in Whistler?
It's getting better!
Sick!! What day was this? Killer conditions.
This was the 23rd! Was also solid on Harmony on the 26th as well!
I left 1 week ago and i didnt get to ski at all because there was no snow… now theres a lot of snow what the heck
Dang.. sorry to hear that. It hasn't changed all that much TBH. The upper chairs haven't opened enough.
So when you came off the Peak Express lift, did you go off the back side? Or just wrap around the peak and come out the front? Im trying to figure out which runs you hit when you came off the Peak Express lift? Ill be there next month and am planning my routes :)

@belowtwenty has the deets. It was Whistler Bowl and Shale slope right off the front of the chair!
@@riseandalpine Whistler better get some snow damn it :) Coming a long way, staying for a week. Need some good snow :)
Count down is on.. booked to leave Sydney 22 Jan. Let the snow goods drink hot sauce and let it dump please.
Sauce Sipping and Powder are closely correlated!
A bit misleading…it’s raining again and there’s nothing but warm weather in the near forecast.
🥰⛄️🇨🇦🎉
This guy whistlers
just a little bit 😂
Keep in mind, everyone is out of shape right now. So they're pushing it....
I was the 696th person to like this video
Unbelievable hahaha. Can we get to 6969??
I've been wondering for awhile, what jacket do you wear? I'd love to get one.
I wear a 5 year old Helly Hansen Ridge Infinity... It's barely holding on but I love it. Not sure they even make the model I have anymore
@@riseandalpine eBay it is
any all mountain skis you recommend trying, thinking of the Nord enforcer n atomic bent at the moment ??
Both of those options are great. Bent is more playful in the 120 size. Enforcer is a damper harder charging ski.
My preference is Nordica but can't go wrong with either
@@riseandalpine great gonna demo some then see which I prefer
It's like a fine dinner...however not so tasty when you eat too fast. slow down, do a little hiking in Flute
Flute has been real nice lately and was one of the nicest runs of the day. It's always great to slow it down!
Could you please tell me the model and size of your skis? Thank you
These are Nordica enforcer 115 Free's at the 191 length. Nordica doesn't sell them anymore, they sell the Unleashed
Its actually sad asf my ski hill is still not open they have pushed their opening 3 times the world is getting destroyed
So disappointing. What's your home hill?
Alas, there is no hope this season for Cypress. The North Shore is a complete bust.
SO dissapointing
Why is there no date the video was recorded?
dec 23
There is a date. Dec 23rd.
sweating like a chicken at KFC
...aaand it's gone
It was still around yesterday... Today.. not so much :(
