Videos like this make me nostalgic for my younger years, getting out on the first few days of snow with all the grass poking out, scraping up the bases. I still get out but now im more patient and can wait for good snow but having vids like this to watch helps pass the time forsure. Glad to see the subs flowing in too, your vids are so good you diserve to be able to do this full time.
Thanks! I think people just don't subscribe these days with all the algorithms feeding people content. Also, skiing is a small but awesome niche so I don't think I'll ever hit a million but I'm cool with that.
@ ya I agree on that, but imagine you do hit 1 million one day, that would be crazy. But I think what really matters is the rich memories you make, making these vids. And I’m here for the ride bro
@@jmtwsiboro8917 Thanks brother! Exactly. I'm here for the memories and creating a life where I can ski all the time. Subs are a bonus, skiing is always the goal!
DUDE! epic early season content, Love It! Jealous of the west coast, but inspired me to hike Blue Mountain this past weekend,..........snow report , zero . zero 😂
@@riseandalpine I'll put it this way, the golf & mini-putt course are still open 🙂 , fingers cross the east "ice" coast will be sliding before the Christmas break 🤞
Let’s go baby! I can’t wait to be eating my pre ski breakfast while watching rise and alpine! Going for 80 days this season ( got 77 last year) but I’m a year older haha
Lol i was skiing solo on Thursday too, worked late Wednesday and snuck out in the afternoon as my reward. Sea to sky on the higher forest roads skied well, if a bit sharky The real treat was near Baker this weekend, got to actually ski steep powder without hitting anything, my incessant weather-watching laid off! Got absolutely soaked in the wet snow that was falling all day though, but 100% worth it
Hi James, love your video and wanted to support the channel. Your videos are fill with joys that conveys to me. I went to your website and add two hot sauce and a sticker in the cart. It was 18 buck but then there's a 7 dollar shipping cost. I opted for 4 stickers and voilà, still 7 bucks shipping. Would you figure something out on that, I m sure shop is a good platform but it sure will drive people away from buying your merch.
Thank you so much for the support. It means the world. Trust me I've tried everything. I know the postage cost is killing sales. Shipping in Canada is a gigantic issue. Most major retailers eat some of the cost of shipping to make it more reasonable for people, I don't have that luxury. I have razor thin margins as is, and sometimes on small orders the time I spend packing isn't worth the small profit I make. There's a larger issue with Canada Post that I can't solve but it sucks because it kills small businesses.
Thanks for using inches and feet, makes us dumb Americans with our weird random length numbers, feel included. Also, I think the lower cascades have gotten around 60cm and timberline opened with a legit pow day yesterday. Keep up the great videos!
Safety message at the end should be at the start. There was a local killed a few years back hitting a thin patch and getting bucked into boulders. Also plenty of seasons ruined with knee injuries curtesy of a shark. Sometimes the early worm isn’t worth it
Fair shout, it is definitely the smart call to wait. Skiing no matter the time of the year is an extremely dangerous sport, accidents happen al the time.
Should come out with a clip about the most deadly shark attacks of the season. With enhanced audio of course. By the way, we got like 3feet of freshes in the central cascade, down here in WA. Early November shredding By the way, you loco. That's what can happen if ya ski everyday, all year😁
Love the Whistler vibe and of course your videos!!!! Question should I plan a trip to Banff or just stick to Whistler? I’ve only been to Whistler but the snow is usually epic and Calgary seems icy or cold…. What’s your 2 cents? And cypress and grouse kind of doesn’t compare…. Help me 🤣😊
Calgary is icy and cold but the Banff experience is pretty incredible. The mountains in the rockies are mind boggling and the terrain is great. A trip to the big 3 resorts is never a bad time and you could even day trip to Kickinghorse as well.
I miss skiing so much :( I’m from New Jersey and it has stopped snowing well. I now have to drive hours to upstate new York to find a good spot and I don’t have a drivers license so I have to ask my mom each tkme
I remember those days! I used to ride 3 busses, a skytrain and a sea bus to get to Grouse mountain before I had my license. It's so nice when you can finally drive or move close to the mountains.,
Hey hoping to do this with one of my friends before opening day, from what I can tell shouldn’t be a problem as long as we don’t interrupt park operations but do you by any chance have any other info on the legality/ allowance of this? cheers!
Hahah, I went on Saturday and saw your trace. Literally the next person after you went. Thanks for the traces helped me a lot getting up there.❤❤
You definitely have dryer snow than mine. I posted a short video.
So awesome you followed my track on the way up! Stoked you we're getting after it too!
It might have been mine 😂 I did a couple laps on Friday, how’d the boots do? That fact you went for seconds is a good sign!
@@dillonnewton9580 Could definitely been yours! I had microspikes on, and boots were dry but my legs burns still hahah!
Best job ever. Floridian vicariously living through you bud
Yooo love that you're turning in from Florida!

Thanks dude. Glad I can help keep ya at bay until there is actually a base. Skiing is a long game for sure. I want to be turning when I'm 80!
Climbed up to about 1700m yesterday in the Cascades and there was about 50cm of fresh. This season is coming on fast!! Can't wait for all your antics
So good to hear! 50cm is no joke. Stoked for the next big round of storms.
Dude 😂😂 I make sure I don't miss your crazy ass adventure and surprise 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love that. Thanks for always coming along.
Lots of snow starting to dump on the mountains and it doesn't look like it's stopping! Great video, looks like so much fun!
The extended forecast is looking crazy
Dude... you have inspired me. I can't believe there's enough snow on the local mountains before November!!!
Ayyeee!! Yes bet! Snow is always falling in November. It just doesn't always stay.
Glad to see you back - have a good season!
Thanks!
Thanks!
Thank you so much! Will use towards even more P-Tex and Wax :)
👇Under 1 week gang
Love when the homies are here early!

🤘🤘🤘🤘rock skiing man. Love your videos, bro. Keep up the awesome work.
Thanks dude!
As a young skier in the east, seeing these videos makes me so impatient for the season 😂
You'll be turning soon enough!!
Sick bro, you and your homies crack me up. Super jealous man. Keep em coming!
Thanks dawg!
OMG I thought I clicked on an Elton John video, I couldn't tell the difference!! 😜😂 Buffs look cool, more sauce, stickers and buffs ordered!! 😎
Elton James would not make it past the first round of Canadian idol. Thanks so much for the order. Got it all packed up for you!
Great channel! You are very entertaining and quite a rebel. Subscribed!
THANKS!
DUDE! epic early season content, Love It! Jealous of the west coast, but inspired me to hike Blue Mountain this past weekend,..........snow report , zero . zero 😂
Thanks brother. Appreciate the beta from Blue mountain hahahah. At least you got out. When is projected opening for you?
@@riseandalpine I'll put it this way, the golf & mini-putt course are still open 🙂 , fingers cross the east "ice" coast will be sliding before the Christmas break 🤞
Hahaha you’re the craziest skier in Canada man, absolute nut. I love it!!
Best compliment ever!
@@riseandalpine Crazy Canuck ;-)
Glad to see the new stickers in the store! Just order a bunch! You know I've been waiting haha 😊
Legend! Stoked you got a couple. Saw your order come in time to burn some GASSSS
Dude, living that deep in the main land!! Get it!!!
Doing what a BC boy does best!
@riseandalpine Yes. Until we get old, lol. You drove out by me for 1st chair recently eh?
Let’s go baby! I can’t wait to be eating my pre ski breakfast while watching rise and alpine! Going for 80 days this season ( got 77 last year) but I’m a year older haha
77 days is an incredible year! Hell, I think if you get over 30 quality days a year you're doing something right.
Campers loaded and heading for Lake Louise in the morning. Chair starts turning @ 9am Tuesday.
Let's gooo!!!!
Your enthusiasm is so genuine. Love your vids.
Thanks brother!
love the green day refrence
Green day is legend!
This is absolutely the most exciting time of the year
Christmas time for skiers hahha. Nothing beats watching snow pile up.
Awesome,can't wait for the snow down here in Ontario. Wish I could come back out to BC.
You and your enthusiasm are so cute!
Thanks Fiona :)
So stoked!! It's always nice when it snow's early, but it's also a tease!
Cypress is such a tease!
Snow already?! Im jealous. Keep these videos up❤❤
Such a sick start for October!
Subs on the rise - now over 32K. Congrats. These vids are the highlight of my week. Hmm, not sure if that says more about me or you! 😂
Thanks Mark! Stoked the channel has a little bit of pre season momentum. Appreciate that you look forward to the weekly antics.
Vancouver dudes and dudesses love the beginning of the season!!!!
It makes us crazy!
Yesss!!! Thank you so much for posting!!!!!!❤
Thanks for tuning in!

Baker is great Beta! Will have to get out there for a rip.
Come to CO. I got my first official turns in at Keystone on Sunday 🏂
Happy pre-season!
Sick!!!!
Open day is shaping up sooo good! Yeww!
We're coming in hot for sure!
element of surprise is always the best!!!
(although sometimes it doesnt work)
I love surprises!
Holy shit it's looking to be a great season! Fingers crossed for you
We've all got high hopes out west
These pre season videos are the only thing that's gonna get me through until my season starts.
Stoked I can help fill that gap!
Another killer video. Watching from the east coast with love. Hope I get a home base where I can ski tour one of these days
I hope you land in a great ski touring spot too!
Going skiing in hopefully less than a week. Let’s hope the blower snow is good here in Quebec.
Blower snow is better than no snow!
Best timing ever let’s goooo bud
On it so fast brother!
Love it. So jealous that you have a local hill.
Having a local spot rocks!
WE ARE GETTING SNOW IN BC BABY IT IS TIME TO CELEBRATE
IT'S ONN!!!!
you are the best rise and alpine! love every video. will you be at lake louise?
Thanks Jordan! Things are hectic so trying to figure out if I can make it work.
Just enough than hits a stump
Never safe!
that was a clean s2k in the parking garage in the intro!
Pretty sick right!
can't wait for local mountain opening day
Me too!
you are my hero
Looks pretty slap shack. Keep shredding bro!
Slap shack indeed!
I love your vids now I want to go skiing and I don’t know how to 😂😂😂
Go for it! I think you'll love it.
skiing cypress before it opens again? definitely gotta make it a tradition at this point.
Let's call it a tradition for sure!

I'm not gonna film the climb up ..... Next 5 clips you filming the climb up 🤣🤣jus buggin made me laugh 🤣🤣
Such an ADHD edit eh!
Salmon and Hot Sauce.....
For the burn!!
⛷🔥
World's most delightful combo
That neck gator could use a little hot sauce.
Cheers brother.
Would have tasted way better eh
We're getting dumped on here in Big White!! Tempted to hike up myself but think I may get in trouble hahah
Unreal! Glad the interior is getting it too. Saw the silver star stake was stacking up too.
You're like the ski version of Captain Jack Sparrow.
Gotta drop the sauce and get some Whiskey!
I’d happily watch you catch some Coho too.
I wish more people had your attitude. I love fishing!
Cheam was deep on Saturday ❄❄❄
No way! Stoked you got after it. Great early season zone
1:57 classic PNW experience
Totally!
Thanks for using inches and feet, makes us dumb Americans with our weird random length numbers, feel included.
Also, I think the lower cascades have gotten around 60cm and timberline opened with a legit pow day yesterday.
Keep up the great videos!
Even though imperial confuses the heck out of me, I still try and say both measurements if I can remember hahha
PBR and Kaleo both solid choices James
I feel like we'd enjoy having a PBR together!

@ well said
you should come ski sun valley
Would love to try it!
@ let me know if you decide to come I’d love to show you around
Great day when you post
Thanks!
Are you planning to go do the same powder highway trip again this year, or are you adding or taking away resorts from that list trip.
Totally depends on conditions, but planning to shake it up big time this season!
What is your skiing music that you listen to?
Should come out with a clip about the most deadly shark attacks of the season.
With enhanced audio of course.
By the way, we got like 3feet of freshes in the central cascade, down here in WA.
Early November shredding
By the way, you loco.
That's what can happen if ya ski everyday, all year😁
A shark week series would be hilarious!
east coaster mad jealous here
Your turn is coming soon!
So jealous

You ever hit up mt Washington Vancouver Island, it's across the hwy from Courtenay
Would love to try it!
7:26 worried about getting caught trespassing? might as well start singing haha
If you're worried about getting caught, don't act worried hahaha
@riseandalpine act natural
It's not just lack of cardio, it's called getting old James.
Old.... now that's a word that scares me hahahha
@@riseandalpine Try being 66...
I miss skiing so much :( I’m from New Jersey and it has stopped snowing well. I now have to drive hours to upstate new York to find a good spot and I don’t have a drivers license so I have to ask my mom each tkme

realy bro come on cant you wait and bye the way was you on wistler or blackcomb
Hasn’t snowed once yet where I am, gonna be a long November before opening
Too bad! Where's home?
pretty much the same snow conditions as last year lol
Same day. Same snow!
Hey hoping to do this with one of my friends before opening day, from what I can tell shouldn’t be a problem as long as we don’t interrupt park operations but do you by any chance have any other info on the legality/ allowance of this? cheers!
Honestly not sure on the legality!
@@riseandalpine appreciate the reply anyway, thanks!
i WISH i could ski rn, i know that Palisades is gonna take a while to open really anything ;-;
We are lucky everything starts going pretty early here!
I wish I could do that every week! What should I learn this year? I'm thinking switchbacks or powder
Powder for sure!
this is hype
So dang stoked right now
You should do videos for the local mountains this year!
100% - that was the plan last season but I couldn't really show them in their true glory. Will try and do a good locals rip this season for sure!
Keep up the full time ski blogging, cause life as a Rockstar just ain't happening, lol
Will do brother!
Dude the ski hill at my city is so strict with skiing before or after the hill is open
I get it because it's dangerous.. But it's nice some mountains turn a blind eye and just let you save yourself if something goes south.
@@riseandalpine yeah, its a liability but I feel like most people who are skiing early season are expert skiers.
bowen face rips with 40cm of pow. from all the summer grooming. so when cyps opens and they got it closed off, make sure you duck the ropes
You know the drill!
@@riseandalpine i groomed cyps for 6 years. amazing times.
Hot Sauce Bribery 😁
Skiing by day, singing sauce by night
@@riseandalpine Slinging and singing. That's kinda what you do! Always fun and full of energy.
looks like you have snow brain this episode
Classic case of snow brain for sure
Love cypress
Cypress rocks!
Lake Louise this week sunshine next week Whistler the week after. The season has arrived.
Fun things are coming down the line!
your neighbor's s2k is awesome
It's pretty sick right!
Cat do that at whitewater for another month 😂
It will be worth the wait once it gets going out there. Gonna be bottomless at WH20 this season
are you heading to lake louise for opening day?
Of course!
I would like to ears the ski patrol opinion...LOL
They would probably give me a massive high five!
I’d kill to ski this right now, average pow day here on the east coast
EAST COAST POW day for sure!
so gassed for ski seasonn and rise & alpine videos in 50 cm pow
Can't wait for the first really deep lift accessed days!
was it better than whistler or no? (I mean the snow)
Very rarely better than Whistler on Cypress, so no!
Can you review glade optics
I'm personally not a fan of photochromic lenses, so they aren't my favourite. My sister and girlfriend love them though.
@ no worries!
I wish I had the cardio to do this 😭
The more you do it the better it gets!
