  • Back in his home base, "the action sports capital of the world", Chamonix, Jacob links up with visiting friends to go create magic in the incredible Mont Blanc massif. After three seasons in these mountains, the crew knows when and where to go, and over a month's time they build jumps, go steepskiing and find freeride lines.
    This episode highlights three of those days - from the mellow mini-golf backcountry of Brévent, to the mighty Argentière glacier basin and its innumerable steepskiing objectives. Santé!
    Filming by Emil Granöö and Jacob Wester
    Editing by Jacob Wester and Sofia Sjöberg
    Cover photo: Sofia Sjöberg
    Featuring the skiing of Jacob Wester, Morten Grape, André Dalkarl, Tom-Oliver Hedvall and Adam Müller
    Music by Nite Owl, The Ayalon Valley and Ian Locke

    Every person I met who grew up in the area has a story of someone they knew who died in the mountains. Some of the stories are pretty gnarly and gruesome. It kinda makes you think when you are out there doing extreme stuff. The Alps are open for anyone to get themselves in trouble and it is all on you for getting yourself into the situation you find yourself in. Avalanches, crevasses, falling off a cliff, etc, etc. It is an awesome place for sure.

    Man I spent the winters of 97,98,99 in Cham snowboarding,best days of my life.la cantina comes to mind,off piste heaven.back side of le tour,grande monte.At the top of Flagere you would go down a bit and bear right of some rocks with skull and crossbones keep out everywhere and you would end up in a huge fresh powder valley which I think went down to Brevent? Anyway this is where dreams are made and lived out.thanks so much for your video that brought back so many great memories 👍🇬🇧🌈

    Very nice! One thing that would make it exceedingly more pleasurable would be a drone with enough power to drop a line and pull your ass like a T-Bar up the always miserable hike to the top. There are some who it's that's part of the experience to be enjoyed. However, in my experience hiking up a steep, waist deep alpine incline just plain sucks!

    • @JacobWesterSki

    Beautiful stuff. Sucks about the lost focus at 12:07, I wanted to see that. Hard to sometimes tell if it has focus when it's bright and such a small screen.

    • @JacobWesterSki
      @JacobWesterSki  5 лет назад

      Yep, that was a bummer, sometimes the Mavic loses focus in dark North facing slopes. That day was especially cold too, so it was tricky for the filmer to even get the shot to begin with standing at 3500m without gloves in the blinding sun!

    Amazing footage! What kind of Gopro were you using and was it helmet or chest mounted? Looking to get one for steep lines myself and want it to be stable looking. Like everyone else said the drone footage was absolutely stunning! Skiing likewise :) Great work and props for the hike up there. Can't imagine how much work that was to get up there in deep snowpack. Oh, do you ever set off charges to prevent avalanches chasing you on way down? Always wondered why some get caught in them when they could have set off charges prior to skiing down. Awesome video!

    • @JacobWesterSki
      @JacobWesterSki  5 лет назад

      Thanks! Gopro 7, helmet mounted. It has a great stabilizer to help shaky video. It won't work if it's too cold though! And no, we are not authorized to bring charges out into the backcountry, only qualified ski patrol would do that. We make sure to follow the weather and what happens to the snowpack to keep us regularly updated about possible dangers etc. Thanks again!
