WHISTLER MTB DOWNHILL TRACK ON SKIS?!

- I can't believe this actually worked!! I've always wondered if you can ski down Whistler A-LINE MTB downhill track in the winter, and it's possible. I'm sure lots of people have done it but I'm not a very good skiier so it was sick to make it down a full mtb dh track in one piece!

I always wondered about doing this. I'll definitely be hunting down bike trails next time I'm on a lift mountain! Step One: buy a snowbike Step Two: hit Crabapple Hits...
problem with crabapple in winter is you cant maintain good enough speed on the snow. although there is a run that runs along side the bike trail. although the other trails throughout the mountain are so fun on a snowboard.
I'm sure you could carry enough speed by bombing the hill beside angry pirate.
There are some good hidden ones
try blue velvet , works very well esp the bottom part around the playground
I do this type of stuff all the time
Used SKIS for sale: only used one week at Whistler
Chris Goree what kind of skis
@@jaylapierre2502 the look like some Volkls lol
@@ChrisG1392 price? Don't want them i already have a pair. Just curious
@@mint4778 It's a joke guys
@@finleyyymtb5776 nah
I felt the snow go down my neck when he pushed through that fallen tree
So was this suggested for everyone this week?
Yeah......
At least it makes a bit of sence to me as I watch MTB videos
Bryn yeah..... what is going on
Bryn yup hahahaah
Yep
When you where screaming "ow dear" was the most British thing ever it was hilarious!!
A line on skis was EPIC- awesome video- thank you Matt- very enjoyable.
Some tips, instead of using your poles to accelerate, glide with your skis like you would on skates, also you can’t rely on jumps alone to launch you, you also need to “bunny hop” off the lips
You know that this guy is a professional slopestyle rider and not a skier
Herb Tylee a beginner skier can do these so
He has no choice, on skis MTB trails like A line are slower, and it's called poping off of jumps, your clearly a jerry
@@thethreebros4210 w
It looks like you need longer skis with a fresh coat of wax Mate.
Nellosphere yep
Needs to learn how to tuck too
He’s on twin tips they are pretty close to the right length
Yeah
"Im just gonna spin the camera"
*holds camera still*
Piotr Cholewa «Im just gonna spin my camera around»
Lol used to do this when i was 12 years old. Im 27 now.
We don't care mate
WJ-MTB™ I care
I don’t care
This is every mountain biker / skiers dream
That was so unsatisfying how he never cleared
Matyas Fatrle He cleared twice
@@kyle3625 twice...
Lol you go try it
Well its not like hes a good skier
You can tell he’s pretty new to skiing just by how he goes off jumps. He was in way over his head from the start. An experienced skier wouldn’t have an issue on that trail
i was laughing out loud at you trying to get down A-line, great video!
You should do crab apple hits
the 3d indian from hell i agree
you would case it so hard
It might be an actual jump line for snow too
@@_wacci nah, it's not steep enough. Bikes carry a lot more speed than skis.
They remove the jumps, its a green trail in the winter.
It's like an abandoned bike park it's awesome
What? No it's like a bike park on *winter*
I can tell you that Freight Train usually runs quite well in winter. It's got more snow, and even though some parts don't go, you can link up the parts that do in a better way and send some of the bigger jumps
The reason you could not build speed and clear the jumps is because the trail was not groomed or compacted to create a smooth surface
Id like to think im quite a good skiier and ski powder, if he had a better technique he could have bulit up alot more speed because of built up momentum
No its because he is bad.
Eric H. Haha naw he just sucks and has some tiny little skis
A powder snowboard would be epic on this
Powder trails on snowboards aren't "groomed"
One word: snowbike
I get that he is good on bikes, but seeing his snowmobiling skills and wearing no gloves, do you really think he would be able to snow bike "timber sled"?
Former W/B Liftie here , don’t bring a snow bike ! You will get a month ban for trying to get on a lift but if you actually some how get one up you get a 10 year ban :(
Jerod Dobos how come?? and thanks for the tip will not! am going to whistler over christmas break for snowboarding but it's nice to know for future references
Ethan A the only reasonable thing that my bosses said was that they cannot be properly stopped if you fall off them , yes I know there are tethers that you can use but that 10-15lbs bike is more likely to break that line and now you have a bike heading down the mountain doing like 60-70 km/h
It would tear the trail up
OMG how can you ride a snowmobile with no gloves? I think I have frostbite on my fingers just from watching 😂
@Clement Frost Even so they don't heat up enough to keep your hands warn without gloves
Clement Frost every sled has hand warmers silly
I was cringing so hard at that!!!
Loved this! Looked amazing
Last snowboarding season I found a nice mtb trail, sat on my board, and “sledded” down it. That was very fun
I have always wondered this!! thank you Matt!
Be great to see some more footage if you have any man!! Absolutely love the content!! Great to see you growing and this up man!!!:)
“Oh god, tree , DIIRTT”
Dude I have always wondered the same thing so cool to see someone finally do it 🤘
made me laugh - super sick vid - keep um coming ,
you crazy dude 🤘
I love doing this. I always venture into the woods on my skis and ride the berms/jumps.
Matt your vids come across effortless and are great in quality . C you in the next one
I am so stoked to find out that you Ski/Snowboard as well...That is awesome.
Snowboarding is my winter sport. I absolutely love it. I started skiing about 6 years ago and fell in love with it, Last year I decided to try snowboarding bc skiing was getting a little boring and repetitive.
haha legit! Cheers from Poland Man!
Scary how it seems kind of like a ghost town. I know at Aspen Snowmass you can find these, but you have to go into creepy old areas, so cheers for the bravery.
such a sick idea!! well done matt
Matt Jones: this was a bad idea
Me: YOU DONT SAY😂
matt this was a class video! keep it up!
No, no mate. YOU are the legend for skiing down what was essentially a snow covered treelined winding staircase ffs. Epic.
Sick video man, the snow looked crazy
I started skiing when i was 2y and when i was 10 i started snowboarding now its fall in norway and almost skiing season ty for making this video so i can hear the satisfaying shound when you turn with a nowboard
Watching how insanely good your biking skills are, I´m weirdly satisfied that your skiing is crap. Makes me feel a lot better. Come on up to Norway and we'll make a skier out of you.
His laughter is blessed! Also I gotta try this when it snows here as well😂
So cool I’m a long time park skier who just started mtb and watch his videos a lot for inspiration so it fun to see things the other way around
Ha..That was Kool... Enjoy your Holiday.. Props from New Jersey...
Dope vid. Just earned urself a new subscriber👍
that's a wild vid dude ... going to be a few slopestylers envious of that A line gig :)
Awsome dude. I've wondered this many times, Nice to see someone finally do it.
You should try Dirt Merchant or CrabApple Hits
Fun video! I've done this while skiing at Killington.. I went down "blue magic" (mountain bike jump trail)😀👍
this would be great to see with a good skier
That looks quality.. brilliant video.👍
great video ......one off your best.....A line on skies rocked
That looks ridiculous fun. Gimbal is brilliant.
Nice work Potter!
Thanks Matt, I have always wondered the same thing 👍🏼👍🏼
You made me to subscribe) That was awesome!!! Make lots of videos like this. Ride all bike trails on snowboard and ski. And you will find more people in your subscribers list)))
I’ve been enjoying the videos and I wish I had a local mtb place like u
Please hit A line on a fat bike next time!!!
I never thought I would be better at anything than a red Bull athlete, but this video proved me wrong.
Well done, right on!!!
Aye Matt we got the same skis. I ski and bike at Mountain Creek in Vernon, New Jersey and we ski the mountain bike trails whenever we can. Theres some really big jumps and drops that we hit- works well if you go into the trail with A TON of speed. Loved the video 👍🏻
Thats looks so fun
Yes Matty! Gutted i wasn't still living in town when you were there! :(
The hero we needed.
so sick bro !!
Awesome video. I have always wanted to ski aline as well
Love the idea of skiing down A line looks sick
I love how your tone changes as soon as you start on the A-Line.
The A - line looks so fun on skis or mtb
That's awesome, funny stuff
“ Sport mode, on”😂😂
Nice vid man!
that was awesome!
Awesome 😎
Sick air at the end!
When im back home in Lenzerheide I often ride the little mtb tracks in the woods, soo much fun with burns and jumps. But probably not great for the safety patrol to reach! Haha
If you watch Whistler's Magnetic movie, you can watch Stan Rey ride some of A-Line and backflip Crabapple on skis
one thing I have learned working at bike parks in Tahoe is that the resorts that have amazing skiing tend to have weak bike parks, and the resorts that have weak skiing have amazing bike parks. Case in point Kirkwood is known for their skiing. the terrain is steep and it snows a ton, but I worked their bike park and because it's terrain is steep it doesn't have good dirt, and it's hard to build amazing flow trails. Northstar on the other hand is nicked named flatstar in the winter cause it doesn't have steep terrain but because of this it has a world class bike park in the summer.
“Atv skidoo’s” my ears hurt 😂
And a new base layer later for those skis..."was it worth it?" Yep!
This was an awesome opportunity, looks amazing.
Dya reckon they'd let you take a snowmobile down A-Line next time? That would be fucking epic! 🤙
PostScript: You'd have to check for fallen trees first...
mad view !!!!! sick vid
I have ALWAYS wondered what the bike tracks would look like during the winter season! 😲
Keep up the snowboarding, you are way better than you think! Already throwing 180s!?! I mean come on, Im seeing a multi discipline athlete right now!
That was very interesting.....
Omg I need to go skiing some double blacks this winter
I’d like to see him ski on the Eastcoast😂
I enjoyed your commentary a lot
Insane ! 😂🔥
great vid
Ski down crababble hits
No way! I definitely saw you in the village. I walked by and thought, "weird, that guy looks like matt jones. Nah, what would he be doing here in the winter. Must be some other red bull athlete who looks like him"
+Calum Robertson that’s so funny! You should have said hey!!
So cool
Great video
Love watching this before work
You didn't film the A-line drop!? Was the drop rideable in the snow?
hamman42 I bet all the wooden features are taken down
such a sick vid
Nice boarding!
My Idol
"I am going to spin the camera around so you can see the view"
Doesn't move the camera at all
sick vid!
Really nice vid
Good work! My little brother guides snowmobiles in Whistler... I wonder if it was the same company.
"My poor skis" hahahahaha. Best part of the video "get myself a massive plate of nat-chose"
