The Aemmer Couloir - An Unlikely Score On A Canadian Rockies Classic
After skiing the Spearhead Traverse in fantastic conditions, Brennan and I drove 8 hours on the famous 'powder highway' to Banff National Park, where we posted up for a window on The Aemmer. Splitting a gash down the left side of the otherwise impenetrable north face of Mount Temple, The Aemmer is easily one of the most aesthetic lines in the Canadian Rockies, and sporting a steep and sustained pitch throughout, it's an exciting ski!
Starting at 5:00am and skinning up to Lake Annette on mostly rotten, isothermal snow, we felt our optimism fade, but as soon as we reached the base of the line, everything changed! Watch along and see how we went from a likely turnaround, to an epic pow line i...

Spearhead Traverse - Skiing A Coast Range Classic In Reverse
Просмотров 3702 месяца назад
The Spearhead Traverse is a classic ski traverse in the Coast Range of British Columbia. It crosses 10 glaciers, skiing over 6k vertical feet, connecting Blackcomb to Whistler, well... usually. With only a late season window to work with, and Blackcomb closed early this year, we opted to do the traverse in Reverse. Starting at Whistler, ending at Blackcomb. Follow along to see this 3 day advent...
Silver Couloir - Party Skiing A Colorado Classic
Просмотров 8033 месяца назад
Silver Couloir is a 3000 foot continuous ski descent off the iconic Buffalo Mountain, and one of the 50 Classic Ski Descents. I drove out to Colorado with the idea I would boulder for a few days, then fly to Vancouver for a strike mission, then back to CO for my Alpine Guide Course. When I arrived I saw plenty snow still plastered the mountain tops. Lacking a ski partner, my friend Ian connecte...

With rain coming in heavy on the approach, Lucas, Graham and I didn't have high expectations for the day. However, an unexpected change in weather allowed us to ski Lobster Claw and Dodge's, all while observing some of the most interesting weather I've seen in the White Mountains.
Spring Shenanigans - Skiing Oakes Gulf and Mount Franklin.
Просмотров 1 тыс.3 месяца назад
With only two lines left in the entire Southern Presi, and the clock ticking on our snow depth, I really wanted to make sure I at least attempted Right Buttress and Bifocal Gully before the season ended. To our luck, both lines were still in. However, they wouldn't come without some spring shenanigans. In this episode, we negotiate adventurous creek crossings, free solo a moss gully, grass ski,...
Mount Franklin Cirque - Skiing New Hampshire's Forgotten Ravine
Просмотров 9084 месяца назад
Just beyond Oakes Gulf lies Mount Franklin Cirque, a zone that sees very few visits each year. Rumors of long walks and complex terrain keep most people away, but this zone holds some fantastic skiing. The day after the solar eclipse, I awoke at 4:00am feeling charged up and full of energy, for a solo tour in the White Mountains. With temps just above freezing and wind at summit elevations, I o...

This is a clip from my recent video "Great Gulf Adventures - Solo Ski Mountaineering on Rare Mount Washington Lines". I figured people might want a video of this line that's not as long and easier to find for beta researching purposes. If you want to see 4 other incredible and spicy lines, do check out the full video. If not, well, enjoy this one!
Great Gulf Adventures - Solo Ski Mountaineering on Rare Mount Washington Lines

I had 5 lines left in the Great Gulf for the Presidential Ski Project, Carousel Gully, Stinkbug, Turkey Feather, Junebug and Mother In Law. The idea was to do them in a single tour. With spicy traverses, ice climbing, rappels, and all sorts of steep skiing involved, this proved to be one of my most epic ski tours ever. And with each line having its own unique flare, I felt my stoke for the expe...
Totality - Skiing With The Solar Eclipse on Mount Mansfield
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.4 месяца назад
On April 8th, a moment I always hoped I'd get the chance to enjoy came to fruition, skiing during a solar eclipse. The path of totality was perfectly over the mountains of the northeast, and during spring ski season. We could've chosen a variety of mountains, but we ultimately settled on Mount Mansfield. Equipped with huge backpacks, and an appetite for shenanigans, we posted up on the summit t...
A Run At Sugarloaf: Powder Keg, Can't Hook Glade, Broccoli Garden, Stub's Glade.
Просмотров 2984 месяца назад
This was my first time skiing Sugarloaf in top notch conditions, and with all the glades open, I was almost overwhelmed by all the different things we could ski! Looking at the map for one of our runs, I crafted a linkup for Joe and I to shred. Starting on the Snowfields with Powder Keg, then down to Can't Hook Glade, progressing to Upper Boomauger, swinging right to Upper Buckboard. Then dippi...
The Essential Ski Skill That No One Is Talking About
Просмотров 2,2 тыс.4 месяца назад
There is a lot of education available for skiers out there. From AIARE, to the PSIA, to the various ski mountaineering courses that different guides offer. Yet I haven't heard anyone talk about this concept, that many seasoned backcountry skiers use to get through less than ideal snow. I decided to make a video on it. Here's the art of skiing light.

Whoever your editor is, is really fucking bad lol this video should have a million views if it was cut and edited properly
There should be more views on your vids. awesome
Very fun run.
Sweet! Thanks for sharing your adventure!
Did this a few years ago, i was 72, ledthe whole thing, didn't need headlamp, descent is brutal
Amazing! Thanks for taking us on your awesome adventures! So cool!
Did BC have a pretty typical snowpack this year? In Montana is was a lot lower than normal until the end
Same thing. We almost canceled due to how low the snow was but they had a couple really good late season storms! I think a few came in as rain down low, hence the dirt walking, despite skiing pow up high
Great ski, love the Smurf gloves
Thank you haha. Gotta keep the eyeballs safe
That was the best video thus far. Thanks for sharing.
Omg thank you! I’m really glad you liked it.
So epic. The White Mountains are truly incredible. Idk if I’ll ever do Damnation Gully but I’ve done Tuckerman and it’s an insane place.
It’s mega. Tucks still never loses that intimating vibe when you’re in there for the first time of the season! Damnation is a great line and if some day you change your mind, it’ll be there!
@@extreme_ryan_delena That’s what’s great, the mountains are always there. All about skill, that’s it. I’ll do anything, so long as I know I’m able. I snowboard and I’m pretty good, but I’d want to get some more experience in the backcountry first.
Excuse my stupid question (I ski out of PA) but is there any sort of map for this stuff? Or at least some sort of navigation to use to find these trails?
Check out Fatmap, search Mount Mansfield and turn on freeride skiing/ backcountry skiing. They should show up in blue.
Awesome world; empty.
Don't forget; mountains are walls. And can eventually, get in your way. People who climb Mount Everest are looking for more than a trophy. They die up there looking for a world they don't fit into vibrationally.
Seems like an endless place or leads to an endless place.
I say other worlds are on Earth beyond the circles and walls and mountains from the ground up. And way up. That's why we have star gates to THE GREAT UNKNOWN.
Baffin Island looks like another world secluded.
I have a birth mark on my finger that looks like Baffin Island map.
You’re doing some cool stuff dude, keep it up. Your subs should be going wayyyy up!
Thank you!
Looks like a great climb. Did Black Orpheus years ago and it was quite the adventure. And if anyone put sticks on my hood and car like that, they hide!
When did you ride this?
May 14th
You are so talented and gifted in so many ways!! I look forward to hopefully seeing you in AK, ! I look forward to more of your adventures!! Hugs to you and your amazing dad!
Thank you !
Looks firm.
It was actually pretty nice corn. Only firm in the shade.
I thought this was tuck's for a moment there
He found 2 partners for Rainier btw!
My mindset while climbing at lesser places like rock rimmon. Still a great place to climb even if its "dirty" and "ghetto"
There was some neat rock over there. I tried to solo it in sneakers which was an interesting choice.
You just kind of learn this automatically when you grow up skiing in ohio lol
Haha
I have the same philosophy which came from travel to places like Oklahoma and Kansas which are not often thought of as scenic states. Thanks for sharing!
Anytime! Glad you can relate
That’s an actual trail on the map? Holy crap!
Not technically on the map but inbounds, lift accessed and open to public.
Great run!!! Seems u had a great time dispite the weather.
Sure did!
thanks for your videos man, always enjoy watching
Thank you! Glad you enjoy!
Nice video. What day was this? Recent conditions?
April 28th. Unfortunately it takes me a while to edit these
In those conditions, rope not necessary. Those landings were wider and cleaner than the entry you had already skied.
I don’t know if you could tell in the video but I was right at the ends of my rope so it was a 30m rappel. The landing was also on a spine above another small ice bulge and the gully curves. Yes it could be dropped, but if I fell I could’ve died, so too much risk for me. Maybe someone else.
Enjoy your videos a lot. I would enjoy them more if you'd stop dropping F bombs. It really isn't necessary to express your excitement.
Totally fair feedback. It’s a bad habit of mine I’m working to improve
Great video with a great message. Must’ve been cool running into fans-you and Drummond have inspired so many of us.
Always so happy to hear that
Do you know where the other side entrances end up on Tomba? Seems like there is one next to the waterfall trail, one of the middle of tombas and waterfall, and one that goes to the side right at the entrance of tombas.
They all kinda go out to Perry Merrill. Though the first one right next to waterfall kinda goes through a weird valley under the zip line
What fun!
Hell yeah boys, this is some primo subalpinism right here ❤🔥
Haha. New term unlocked. I love it
Casual tucks send
It’s funny when you start out and tucks is like a huge epic. Everyone has an interesting first time in Tucks story. Then years later you start doing multi ravine tours and it just becomes the icing on the cake run back to the parking lot.
I think the horrendous noises coming from my shattered camera lens definitely adds character to a few of those clips
Haha yup
Another banger of a video. Stoked to check out some new lines with you!!
Hell yeah, stoked you joined for this one.
Oi! This one needs a new thumbnail, it shows as the 3-dots image of like a broken or missing thumnail. Just a heads up. 🤜🤛
I’ve tried twice! I don’t know how to fix it
@@extreme_ryan_delena The thumbnail is NOT IN! 🤣
It would be cool to hear about your risk management process on deciding to go for this line solo. Maybe that's in the full film?
Yes I have a little blurb in there of me talking about it in the full version.
Love all the videos! I just did Tucks for the first time on the same day you made this video. Mt Washington summit down snow fields then right gully. Thanks for the inspiration, Im really excited to explore this area more! Do you expect to finish your project this year?
Hell. Yeah. Nice work on your first tucks line, sounds like you picked a good one! As for my project, I have 7 lines left, and unfortunately they’re all toast by now. Next season it should all come together
@@extreme_ryan_delena ruclips.net/video/yn56Ht6Wxiw/видео.html
What incredible snow and weather conditions you were blessed with! As a retired NE climber and skier, I can almost promise you that you'll be savoring the golden memories of this day for the rest of your life, and doing so even more fondly with every passing decade, for the stoke never dies! 😛🤩 Nicely done, man! 💪⛏
Love to hear it 🤘
Love the "picking away at the lower angle bushy obscurities." ☮
Haha yup! It’s all skiing !
Adventurous entrance to kitestring, another killer video
Thank you! Yes getting into Kite String is shwacky! I’ve heard in deeper years it gets better. Super cool dropping in off the summit though!
Love it! Every time I watch one of these videos I have my maps out and love trying to follow along. Making me have too many plans for next season!
Glad you enjoyed it! Having the map out is a fun way to visualize. A big reason I make this videos is to inspire people about what’s out there, so I’m glad you’re getting stoked on it.
You know its steep when It's steep on camera
are you going to be making any more videos.
Yes, I’m working on one now
Nice! The Gulf is in! lol You think you'll be able to get those last 4 this season?
Thank you! I think I’ve got all I can get for the season. I have 4 lines left on the North side of the range, 7 total. Currently all of them are melted out except for Stovepipe, which I’m saving. Middle Sister might still be skiable but I know I can get that line in better conditione
@@extreme_ryan_delena Right on. I had to end up waiting till next season to finish the Winter48 list, just ran out of time. No sweat, them mountains ain't goin anywhere!
@@GetUpTheMountains Hell yeah. And most of the big cruxes are complete (thank you winter 2023). So I’ve got time!
