How does Nikolai not have a million plus subscribers. The quality of his videos are great and he makes them flow well with good story telling. And the skiing is epic. Thanks!
Sadly similar to the film industry, what sells is 10th remake of a DC comic not a groundbreaking film. UA-cam pushes content for when people are taking a crap on the toilet so the gold like this channel needs to be sought out.
Honestly I really respect the choice of other skiers when they don't feel 100% positive on a line or a summit. It makes me reflect wether I am out of line or if it's just a cold call. Either way, when doubts come up in the team I always go with the most pessimistic team member so everyone feels inside their own boundaries. Create movie. Loved it
Absolutely. I totally agreed when Nikolai said often it is those gut feelings that keep you alive on the slopes. This was a great video to get my head back into ski mode. With fresh snow here in Utah, I'm looking forward to getting out on the mountain with my skis again.
And yet he ignores his partner's gut feeling and pushes on solo? Not a recipe for being a good team player or longevity. I hope Nicolai starts listening alot more to the feelings of his parnters and own gut, I want to keep watching these amazing videos, whether you ski the gnar or not, @nicolai your story telling is top notch.
@@sundaywaflez3109 He respects his friends guts and thus supports and his decision and he trusts his own gut to send it. If he's comfortable doing that run then good for him. He showed he backs off when he feels unsafe with not doing the super crazy shit.
I’ve never regretted turning around. Even if you could have technically skied the line safely it’s always the right call to listen to your gut. Better to only ski part of the line than to be standing on top questioning why you’re there
Niko please never stop making videos. Your content is absolutely top tier. It's entertaining, informative and scenic just to name a few. The visual and the sound experience are so good.
I'm not nearly as good of a skier as you are, but I really understand your "freeride instead of steep skiing" decision. Sure maybe steep skiing is "harder" but I also don't see the fun in edging your way down a cliff instead of enjoying yourself on easier terrain. Oh and amazing video, as always :D
I'm not a pro, but always dreamt of skiing big lines like this. Got rear ended in a car accident this year and don't know if I'll ever get there. Watching your videos gives me inspiration to push for it again. Carry on Niko, you are the man.
The absolute best ski production of the year! Incredible cinematography and editing, and the skiing is unmatched. Another great video from Niko, as always.
Wow, the tension in this video between everyone, especially in the first half. Brilliant as always Nikolai. Inspiring, energetic and thought provoking. Diolch/thanks.
this video was amazing! the quality of the riding, the lines, the style and also let's not forget the amazing film makers that shot it! great job Niko and the team!
Love the vulnerability and your ability to make fun of your breakup a little bit- that's an underrated part of the storytelling for sure! Also the soundtrack choices were great!
Your content is so good. I feel for you with the girlfriend stuff, it is hard when our hearts get broken. Thank you for letting us in to see your life/journey and adventures. You rock!
Incredible video! That cornice at 19:48 😲 I think it's natural that our perspective on life - and the risks we're willing to take - change as we get older, however, it doesn't mean we still can't have fun!
Just bought the new Black Crows Atris 190's mainly because of your videos, and I have to say.....what an unreal ski! Best ski related purchase of the last 10 years at least! :-)
I just watch this video which was in my waiting list since a while. Really good work guys 💪 The trip, the shots, the atmosphere, everything is Amazing ! I'm not into steep skiing or freeriding yet but it really motivates me to dig into it !
Some eulogy Niko! You're talking about retiring from steep-skiing while at the same time saying that this 50degree slope is chill cause the snow is great... I love the mentality of it, but I think that you're much closer to the Kristofer mindset than you think. Fantastic documentary, anyway. It's not often you see such vulnerability on youtube. Keep it up!
Niko, i started for the skiing and I love your films, you also come across as a great guy. You’re reaching that bit of life when things change. But remember, it’s just evolution. It’s still awesome. 99.9% of skiers will never do what you can do. At some point we’ll let you cruise some blues and drink beer with us mortals. Ps sorry about the famous rock star.
"This season he got dump and got even softer".🤣😂 First time here and I enjoy jokes and humour amongst friends. Definitely going to sub and binge the previous videos. Be safe and take care
Makes me so hyped for this next season! Keep putting out more content please. I love that you shared the excitement of the successful run at the end, it had me pumped too! Hands down the best ski content creator on the platform.
I waited to watch this movie for when I started to miss the winter… so now I’m here😅😂. I love what you doing and I hope I can do that to when I’m a little older, maybe even with you!🔥🔥
Two views in a row, I wish I could like this more than once! Phenomenal content. Loved every minute, even the brief 6 hours of mild "suffering" (*cries in Cody Townsend*) that got you there. What a solid crew,
God tier stuff! Plus its funny to see your (freeride) couloir lines are most peoples steep skiing lines XD Massive thanks for all this goodness! Cant wait for the next one
Man I walked past you guys gearing up in Furuflaten on my daily walk and was so jealous! I'm so glad conditions were prime and you all had a good time!
Dank Video Niko! That looked like it was a heck of a trip! Glad you showed the pit test because after that natural avy I was like "uhhhhhh they better be turning around right"
How does Nikolai not have a million plus subscribers. The quality of his videos are great and he makes them flow well with good story telling. And the skiing is epic. Thanks!
insane he's under 100K subs. I shared with my shred crew
Freeride is for few and he also posts just once in a while
Just subbed

Totally agree even if u r not into free ride this content is amazing in so many levels
By far the best skimovie creator on youtube, your content is beyond everything else!
its a good template for young people wanting to get into this game too! drones are really awesome for this sort of camera work!
There is nothing that makes me more excited for the upcoming season than a beautiful movie like this 😍😍
100%
was just thinking this exactly!!
YEP, YEP, YEP legit cant wait
Your films are full of emotion. Sadness, anxiety, hope, triumph. They flow so well. Incredible, a gift to be able to watch this for free.
Honestly I really respect the choice of other skiers when they don't feel 100% positive on a line or a summit. It makes me reflect wether I am out of line or if it's just a cold call.

Really great work Niko. Beautifully shot, great story and fun flick. Keep crushing it.
Thanks Cody!
feeling the loneliness of niko on this trip, as long as you have skiing all is well
“Last year Nikolai got a girlfriend, and he got soft, this year he got dumped and he’s even softer” that killed me
Kristen calling Niko soft and softer was savage… and funny. Brilliant film.
Niko please never stop making videos. Your content is absolutely top tier. It's entertaining, informative and scenic just to name a few. The visual and the sound experience are so good.
Let's gooooo! Another year of making the best ski movies on the internet!
I'm not nearly as good of a skier as you are, but I really understand your "freeride instead of steep skiing" decision. Sure maybe steep skiing is "harder" but I also don't see the fun in edging your way down a cliff instead of enjoying yourself on easier terrain. Oh and amazing video, as always :D
Even more respect for this channel showing that turning around is just fine.
Be safe Nikolai and friends :)
another quality video with a cheeky bit of Sigrid to finish!! brilliant as always
I was just wondering when will Nikolai’s new video drop. Anyways, I can’t wait to watch it!
i wonder if sigrid watched this
keep your head high king, best ski content ive ever seen
I'm not a pro, but always dreamt of skiing big lines like this. Got rear ended in a car accident this year and don't know if I'll ever get there. Watching your videos gives me inspiration to push for it again. Carry on Niko, you are the man.
Feels like I’m getting away with something not paying for these videos, phenomenal stuff keep it up
The absolute best ski production of the year! Incredible cinematography and editing, and the skiing is unmatched. Another great video from Niko, as always.
Never thought a Sigrid song would vibe with a ski video, yet, here we are. This was awesome!!! I appreciate that this would have be n tough to edit
Ah no, always a pleasure to edit to good music🤘✨ glad you like it!
These guys are so good that they make my level of skiing look positively infantile, and I’ve been skiing for over 50 years! Amazing.
One of the few content creators where I can fully watch a long video from beginning to end and be fascinated every minute. Great stuff
Amazing to have the "one and only" back here on UA-cam 🥳
Been itching for another Schirmer ski vid. Awesome as always! Stay safe my friend!
Well worth the wait, Niko. Honest, fun, serious when it needs to be, and vulnerable at times. Great film.
Nikolai for skiing and Magnus for climbing, Norwegian athletes just know how to do UA-cam
Wow, the tension in this video between everyone, especially in the first half. Brilliant as always Nikolai. Inspiring, energetic and thought provoking. Diolch/thanks.
this video was amazing! the quality of the riding, the lines, the style and also let's not forget the amazing film makers that shot it! great job Niko and the team!
so excited to watch this!!! looking forward to all your content this season!
Love the vulnerability and your ability to make fun of your breakup a little bit- that's an underrated part of the storytelling for sure! Also the soundtrack choices were great!
again and again, you set the standard for ski cinematography on youtube. amazing!
Storytelling Always Taken To The Next Level 🙌🏼
Even your "safe" lines look absolutely insane, great movie!
Damn Niko even used Sigrid’s song in this. He really in his feels.
That’s what I’m thinking too lol poor guy
hah, yeah i was about to comment he should probably listen to something else, shit hurts
Respect for putting your ex's music in the video. It get's better, keep on shredding in the meantime!
mate i was looking for this comment
Your content is so good. I feel for you with the girlfriend stuff, it is hard when our hearts get broken. Thank you for letting us in to see your life/journey and adventures. You rock!

UA-cam video's feeling like you're watching a movie! The cinematography and vibes are top tier as always :)
Man. Bumped into your channel last week, can't stop watching your content. Absolute bangers all over.
Absolutely stunning. What an amazing movie. Love your work Nikolai and you as always stomped those lines!
The shots, the editing, this is mind blowing. Absolutely epic.
Absolutely incredible. The quality of these videos is insane. Love following your trips, keep it up & stay safe! 😍
Just bought the new Black Crows Atris 190's mainly because of your videos, and I have to say.....what an unreal ski! Best ski related purchase of the last 10 years at least! :-)
Woho! Glad they work for you too :)
Got so exited when i saw your video in my recommendations again after a long time! Awesome work niko!❤❤
The production quality is insane!!! Wow
HO-LEE-CRAP. That was epic. I miss freeride sooooo much now. THe mountains, the snow, the flow and the camaraderie.
I just watch this video which was in my waiting list since a while.
Really good work guys 💪
The trip, the shots, the atmosphere, everything is Amazing !
I'm not into steep skiing or freeriding yet but it really motivates me to dig into it !

Damn! Epic! Storytelling, cinematography, great lines, the lots! Flappergasted! Thx! Sorry for your heartbreak!
Touching choice of music. That was a nice decision
Masterclass in ski movies! Great story, beautiful cinematography and filming, and awesome skiing
This is seriously one of the coolest channels on UA-cam!
this is honestly TOO GOOD🤤🤤
I've been listening to It Gets Dark non-stop since watching this 2 weeks ago. Epic movie and music to go with it!
I love european ski/snowboarding movies so much more. Such a cool vibe!!!
Fantastisk ! Det er vel ingen andre skikjørere som er i nærheten av å greie å gjengi en slik tur sånn som du gjør det.
This short film was nothing short of beautiful and stunning. Excellent work by everyone involved. Way to send it out there!! 🤙🏻
Makes me so hyped for this next season! Keep putting out more content please. I love that you shared the excitement of the successful run at the end, it had me pumped too!
Hands down the best ski content creator on the platform.
Truly a masterpiece!
Legendary as always, guys! So glad it's the season for these films again
Such quality content and great storytelling to go with the insane lines, thank you Nikolai!
I waited to watch this movie for when I started to miss the winter… so now I’m here😅😂. I love what you doing and I hope I can do that to when I’m a little older, maybe even with you!🔥🔥
I knew Eivind was a strong cool guy.. My favourite character in this video 💪😎
So glad the vids are back
Best Channel for me on UA-cam
Insane vids 🔥
I’ve been waiting for your video so long and eventual I got it! As always it’s the best!
Very funny vid, and dead serious. Great stuff!
Two views in a row, I wish I could like this more than once! Phenomenal content. Loved every minute, even the brief 6 hours of mild "suffering" (*cries in Cody Townsend*) that got you there. What a solid crew,
You are faar faar the best content on a whole youtube !! Loved it
I really loved it. Great shots and dope skiing!

Nikolai, thank you so much for this amazing movie!
You're videos are way too good. This guy needs 3Mil subs.
Thank you Nikolai!! Just amazing!!

Just great! So pumped for winter, thanks Niko!
Super well done and inspiring lines. Just what I needed to get excited for this coming season!

Love this part of Lyngen - great film as always niko :)
Your films are an inspiration.
Keep it pumping Nico!! ✊
Sick! Nice work boys!
"...just come to realize I don't get nearly the same the joy doing slow jump turns over death exposure..." good on yu, my man.
Dank Video Niko! That looked like it was a heck of a trip! Glad you showed the pit test because after that natural avy I was like "uhhhhhh they better be turning around right"
Absolutely incredible as always.
You've convinced me, I'm spending this winter in Norway.
Smashed it again Niko. This is so so so good. Thank you for sharing it with us and inspiring us! 🤙
