@Grishnakh not an asshole who slags people posting videos on RUclips when they haven't got a single video themselves. So why dont you fuck away back to your mums basement and let us adults get on with out pretty damn good lives
Dang, you guys are so freaking calm and chill in those precarious locations. I definitely don't have the nerve to take the skis OFF and change to crampons on a 60 degree pitch with a cliff below me. Glad you guys appear prepared for everything and have the skills to do it. Be safe.
"Clap" "Clap" "Clap" Encore...what a time in life for you guys...I'm so privy that you guys take the huge effort to also RECORD footage for us! Thanks for that!
Well done gentlemen!. We got shut down from skiing since the middle of March. I miss it. We usually drive to the mountains every 2 weeks. Jasper or Banff. I am old so it was close to 20 years ago I first went to the cleavage at Banff. You guys make the cleavage look like a green run.At the time I was really just learning to ski so it was outstanding in the fear factor. You guys go to great effort to get that fear factor. Great job!
So stoked to see your still shredding! Cool little day such a badass line. Im getting older now and pumped to see one of my low key favs still crushing lines. Keep em coming brotha.
@@JacobWesterSki me to brotha me to 🤘 May not be as known as you but best believe I get mine... your influence along with others kept me out of trouble. Nothing but respect the drive wears off on people. I wanna watch you and others till I'm 50. My son is 3 and knows your part in La Nina already haha. Sits there repeating. "That's webster!" "That's webster!" Crazy that's 10 yrs ago already now your off scaling cliffs. So much progress. Be safe have and good day man. Ur an animal
Nice, I'm super impressed by the video. Guess the chute would be even more sketchy on the Snowboard. Went freeriding once with my ski instructor association and well experienced guides, but I almost shat my pants being the only fella on a board...
Awesome, yeah how you can get experience if you are not trying. I was nearly shitting my pants when doing stuff like this, but yeah got more experienced over time. It is so...... Cooooool really. And the tools where much more worse back in the 80-s
wauu just wauu guys .. maximum satisfaction. how much knowledge do you need for a few minutes of descent I blinked none when you started the descent bravoo maximum satisfaction good job and safe things👏🤘
So inspirational, living a dream of adrenaline! Please post more stuff like this, looking for some fun lines on the south face of Aiguille du midi for upcoming trips! Will do a haute route this March aswell!
I would be to worried about an avalanche with this snow. Looks like fun though. I used to ski in crazy stuff in the 70’s and 80’s when we had longer skis. But things change when you get older and have a family. I so miss skiing with my friends at Mammoth and Lake Tahoe. These guys seem like a good group that watches out for each other and they enjoyed their climb and skiing down the mountain as their reward.
I appreciate your sentiment about looking down and just persevering step by step ... but when you're in the mountains you always need to be looking up! not trying to call you out, just wanting to keep everyone who's inspired by you safe!
Very good objection to my hiking technique. Always keep your eyes on possible objective dangers of course. I should have added I only do this when deemed safe. Cheers!
Nice vid, looks like a great day, like how you don't edit out the sketchy bits and just include the cool looking parts. Do you use shorter skis/higher edge bevels than usual for chutes like that? Stay safe out there.
Thanks! I usually stay around the 185-190cm length for all my skiing, if I go shorter its to save weight for really big days, with 1500m+ of vert. I always feel more comfortable on big skis :)
Great video! Definitely the kind of skiing i like to watch but probably never will ski myself. Not a good enough skier to imagine myself riding down stuff like this. If you could have only one (width of) ski for everything, pow, slope, crust and park... What would you take?
Good thing most of the peaks around here (including the one in the video), have easier descents to pick from. The views are still the same ☺️ I would pick something around 106 waist, with a turning radius of 19-21 meters. The Rossignol Sender TI that I'm skiing in this video ticks most boxes, I can't recommend it enough!
I was freakin gripped the whole top part of the descent. That kind of exposure is scaaary. As a snowboarder, i feel like holding an edge with that kind of snow and exposure is not an option, the risks of sliding down are just too much... Great video tho !
Sick video! Keep ‘em coming. Are those the Rossignol Alltrack pro? If yes, how are they treating you, and why not the elites instead? Been looking at getting them myself
Yes thats correct! I use both, the elite has a bit of a different flex and works best for freeride, the pro is a bit better for ski mountaineering. They are very similar however and I dont think you will notice a difference tbh.
Can you please make a video or a list on the camera you are using, and most important, the settings. Maybe you allready did, but it looks good so i'd love to know them. I have a hero 8 black, but im still struggling on the camera settings
The game is , because there is so much competition to get their vids out, people will climb to get a video. Hoping to attract a sponsor. Rather than having a sponsor that will pay for a heli or track mobile. Tough job!
You sir, seem uninformed on some crucial details. 1. Ski-mountaineering is about so much more than the skiing. The endurance training to the top. The airy ridge traverse with the beautiful views. The suspense and engagement of skiing something steep and exposed. The route finding and problem solving. The camaraderie at the bottom. Those who love being in the mountains, not only the skiing part, will know what I mean. 2. Neither heli skiing nor "track mobiling" is allowed in France, so there would be no skiing these lines unless people walk up. Any questions?
to me that is not really worth the effort. I can see doing it to say that you climbed something just to have done it but not making a habbit of it. I got pretty high up mt. shasta before then tried to snowboard for the 1st time down, glad i did but i would rather have 15 or more runs with a chairlift
@@JacobWesterSkiI only see two comments. Why lie? And why did you assume I don't like being outside? Are you upset that I said skiing crusty snow sucks? I don't get it.
I can't understand how someone has the heart to dislike this kind of genuine quality content. It baffles me.
😘
they probably missed and didnt notice

This is true big mountain skiing as it is without the bullshit!
The only way we do it! Thanks🔥

Jacob Wester I shot a sic photo of you that my local paper used when you were flying 30 ft over my head in Sunday River, MAINE at the DUMONT CUP! :)
Yea Nathan, I remember that shot! Great memories, I love Maine!
Ayyy keep posting these. Would love to see more
DOOD wtf this ski run is giving me anxiety..YIKES!!!!!!!!!
"Clap" "Clap" "Clap" Encore...what a time in life for you guys...I'm so privy that you guys take the huge effort to also RECORD footage for us! Thanks for that!
Amazing! You guys are insane! Love your videos.
You're literally doing jump turns down a vertical chute, and yet your turns are still better than mine on the piste. Mad respect bro!

Great adventure. Amazing skill set & poise. Thanks.
Best adventure film I’ve seen in a long time. It incorporated everything. Great 👍
Crazy!

What a fun day out in the mountains, great video!
great video , great skiing , great feel for how an adventurous day in mountain plays out , thanks for sharing
Thanks for the kind words, that was what i was hoping to convey!
"and we died"
Slovenians... 🤷♂️
Slovenian one liners drop like a Bomb! 🤣
Fantastiskt produktion i vanlig ordning unge herr Wester! Keep em coming!
Tack för troget tittande!
Nice, I'm super impressed by the video. Guess the chute would be even more sketchy on the Snowboard. Went freeriding once with my ski instructor association and well experienced guides, but I almost shat my pants being the only fella on a board...
That was 18 VERY entertaining and rewarding minutes! Thanks dude. Cant wait for the next one.
Thank you my dude!
The BEST Backcountry is the NEXT One...........Rock On !
yeah you catch an edge on a cliff like that and your taking a hell of a ride down
Yes, not recommended!
This is crazy but I love it.
Excellent Mountain Vlog
Super cool adventure Jacob🙌
Happy that I am not the only one counting steps while boot packning:)
It's hard work but someone gotta do it!
I have respect for this descent !
Awesome, yeah how you can get experience if you are not trying. I was nearly shitting my pants when doing stuff like this, but yeah got more experienced over time. It is so...... Cooooool really. And the tools where much more worse back in the 80-s
Oh i bet! Real adventurers back then!
wauu just wauu guys .. maximum satisfaction. how much knowledge do you need for a few minutes of descent I blinked none when you started the descent bravoo maximum satisfaction good job and safe things👏🤘
Thanks for the kind words Nicolas!
True, you gotta earn your turns!
You dont have to but they are way sweeter when you do!
So inspirational, living a dream of adrenaline! Please post more stuff like this, looking for some fun lines on the south face of Aiguille du midi for upcoming trips! Will do a haute route this March aswell!
Thank you! Yes the plan is to drop more of these one-day missions throughout the winter. Maybe some midi stuff too!
You're good at these! Looking forward to many more!
Brilliant mate love it
Been waiting forever for this. Thank you.
You are very welcome Tom!
Definitely a brown run
Mer av sånt här!!!
Mer kommer!

just pour dire ,bon ski mon kiki mais ca c etait pas de la peuf!! hi hi ! belle journee a loriaz
Aah pas de peuf duch, prochaine fois peut etre!
I have never seen a skin track like that ! More like a skin road !
Haha, yea it is actually used by 4x4s in the summer!

hoooooly 12:08
do not try this at home
me: F*CK I WANTED TO SKI DOWN A GIANT F'CKING MOUNTAIN AT HOME
No snow anywhere😩
Oh it is coming!
Jacob Wester it has delivered here as well! Hope it will remain and not melt down😩
Hey man, what are your huge thick ski poles w orange basket?/ thank you
Ask @binezalohar 😏
All that work for wind blown powder. Looks hard to deal with.
"There are those who enjoy skiing, those who enjoy climbing, and then there are those who enjoy The Mountain." Thanks for watching 🤙
How's your leg after the run?
My leg is fine, thank you ☺️
ok tkole bo lažje...♥ kakšne smučke so to ? kje si jih lahko ogledaš? kakšna pametna stran za pošerat k prodajajo tako opremo/forum? tnx ♥
What kind of poles is Bine using?
Chamonix style steepski poles! Dont know the brand though.
@@JacobWesterSki Same question, Can we hook up Bine?
to me that is not really worth the effort. I can see doing it to say that you climbed something just to have done it but not making a habbit of it. I got pretty high up mt. shasta before then tried to snowboard for the 1st time down, glad i did but i would rather have 15 or more runs with a chairlift
Crusty , wind blown powder really sucks. And after such a hard climb. I feel sorry for you. Good job though. I could never do what you do.
Was three comments really necessary to convey this message? I get it, you like skiing, not being outside.
@@JacobWesterSkiI only see two comments. Why lie? And why did you assume I don't like being outside? Are you upset that I said skiing crusty snow sucks? I don't get it.
bra video, men ändå är ni galna !!
tack, typ? 😉
Jacob Wester varsågod
I can't get over why you all climb so hard for such a short ride down? I mean, that is why lifts were invented.
