Extraordinary winter hype. Your energy is contagious brother! Not sure if I'll have the funds/time to ski this year, but you bet I'll be following along!
Quebec uses fake snow when Alberta doesn’t making it not technically qualify. Also I don’t think any Alberta runs are open right now as it’s been 15 degrees everyday
0:40 might actually be the single most Canadian segment I've seen in a video 😂 Great video as usual man! So stoked for Whistler opening date, planning to head there around late March myself! 😁
Yoooo - Thanks for tuning in! I'd love to come to Biggie opening day but I'm still collecting pennies for gas money hahaha. I'll for sure come for a visit mid-winter. Big White is a sick hill!
Nutcase! And, coming from an Aussie/Canadian who loves skiing, but never gets to go anymore :(, that's saying something. Love it - keep the runs coming. (I was busy telling you you had missed a turn when you checked in from Canmore...until you explained that you can't sleep in Banff National Park. I seem to recall Norquay being a little steeper than that.)
Nice, i was out in Sicamous this weekend, skied up to Mara Mountain Lookout. Vis was trash but hey, i was on skis and i didn't even core shot! Better than cypress was a couple weeks ago Webcams tonight at whistler are showing some snow so 🤞 it sticks around this time
I love how you're always making the most of the weekends! I've never even thought about skiing in Sicamous. Apparently the Icefields Parkway is skiing okay right now. Hoping to get some sea to sky stuff going soon, spending way too much money on gas!
@@riseandalpine lol yeah I recruited a couple friends to split the gas, was still a bit painful for the wallet 😅 For sure, can't wait to ski closer to home.
Love the video. Your enthusiasm is infectious! We fly up from New York, every year, to ski the Big3. Always go to Norquay first. See you in April, my beautiful Banff!
@@riseandalpine Ya all good, saw that when I watched it. Its only like a 50 hours drive...I do it every April when I come to whistler for 5 weeks. I follow your videos to see how things are filling in as the season advances. My girlfriend wants to get some hot sauce next time were in town. Happy skiing!
We drive out in our pickup and rent an AirBnB for the month and ski everyday. We work at Sommet St-Sauveur all winter then come for the april goods... Weve been doing it years. Love the spring vibe pow up top, soft at the bottom.
@@riseandalpine haha yes, the RUclips ad revenue on my channel isn’t paying dividends yet 😂 skiing is an expensive addiction! Looking forward to seeing more vids this winter!
Almost time to dig out the boards and put my motorcycles (2007 Electra Glide Classic, and my 2016 BMW S1000XR) away. I have a seniors seasons pass at Whistler this year, I can't wait.
@riseandalpine Nope, the nice thing about having skiing and motorcycling as my main "happy place in life" is they don't conflict. 5 months of skiing, 7 months of motorcycling. I can't wait for snow. After skiing Mt. Washington, for the last 20 years, and usually a 10 day Edge card at Whistler, I went big and got a Whistler seasons pass this year.
Yeah baby! What a rush to do that!!!! Worked there 10 years ago, mayyyy have a video of jumping over the fence next to the magic carpet. That energy and enthusiasm makes any bunny hill run fun!
omg. you too are on it. Let the ski daily vlog thing commence. 2023 November is the start of a new era where daily ski content became a real thing. Both in the US and in the CANADA. I am too excited. I love it. it's 10 hrs away and you are going. that's the spirit. (Yeah, including the road trip part, i think, just makes sense, it makes it more exciting and look like a journey. I'm enjoying it.) (golden, late at night, semi trucks behind and in front of you. with snow and no visibility. it's super scary!!) This was awesome haha. so fun to watch!
Hey Sam! Glad you loved the enthusiasm and the story. I don't think I'd post daily long form content. My goal is 2 super quality videos a week for this season!
Go at your own pace Rise and Alpine! You (your videos too) are doing very well. Also, consider hiring a video editor. That can alleviate you from having to edit videos and other headaches. You are good at show hosting and narrating. A lot of editors would love to work with you.
This man is the epitome of enjoying the small things in life… but wait a minute, this ain’t no small feat, first chair in Canada?? Congratulations sir and I hope to achieve this one day myself! Along w/ the other two boarders in matching suits who probably rolled out of bed at 8am that morning from the resort to get the first chair… lol… 😂
Thanks James! It's all about the little things.... And yes, those two boarders had a nice sleep in and drove in an hour from the city 😂😂😂. Couldn't take any chances!
Sorry to crash your party buddy but the first chair in Canada was actually at Mont st-Sauveur Quebec on Thursday November 2 at 11h AM.I was probably on the 6th or seventh chair… not sure it would’ve been worth the drive across the country tough 😅
I hate to be a spoiler but Mont Saint Sauveur in the Laurentians opened on Thursday, November 2 at 11AM, one full day before your experience. But they didn't have a buck showing up. Great video and I’m a new subscriber!
Welcome to the channel Eric!! I heard about SS after I had filmed this video LOL... I wasn't checking my phone much while driving. Looks like I'm driving to QC next year. THat's going to be one hell of a gas bill :)
Extraordinary winter hype. Your energy is contagious brother! Not sure if I'll have the funds/time to ski this year, but you bet I'll be following along!
Stoked I can bring you along for the ride!
Nice video bro!! FYI first chair in Canada was at Mont Saint-Sauveur (Qc) on Nov 2nd. Sorry loll
Debatable… Saint-Sauveur is closed from Nov 6-8 to make more snow
He mentions later in the video (first chairlift in western Canada)
I know! Mentioned it in the video. Guess I'm driving to QC next time 😂😂
Its a joke ! St Sauveur ! Une colline 😂😂😂 with Mudd
Quebec uses fake snow when Alberta doesn’t making it not technically qualify. Also I don’t think any Alberta runs are open right now as it’s been 15 degrees everyday
This was so fun! Great, positive content! Awesome journey!!🤟
Glad I could bring you along! This was one of my favourites to film.
Haha that was me on Friday! Wednesday night, mountain opening Friday, Thursday check webcam, Friday Ski 🙌⛷
Amazing! What mountain did you hit?
Saint-Sauveur, QC gets respect too. always open earliest east coast , best coast
Yeehaww, I skied the East for 5 years..... It's not the best coast, but it's an absolute blast!!!
blessed , already open@@riseandalpine
So pumped for this season
Best time of the year!
Absolutely sick getting the first chair too amazing day.
Too much fun!
I have gone to mt norquay many times to snowboard and is one my favorite places to snowboard
Mont Saint-Sauveur in Québec actually opened on November 2nd esti!
I know 😂. Guess I'm driving to Quebec next time :).
Love the enthusiasm on OPENING DAY!!!
Thanks John. Who doesn't love an opening day!
Amazing
Thanks Shayne!
😁😁 love your enthusiasm ! i've been there in march 2011 and still remember the deep powder on the runs from the "north american" chair !
Unreal, it's crazy how good ski days always create the most vivid memories.
You are an absolute goof and a treasure my friend. I would kill to come shred whistler with you
Thanks dooood. Some skiers take shit way too seriously!
Stuck in a work camp in northern Alberta. Cant wait to get out and get some snow on the skis.
You'll be on the planks soon enough!
@riseandalpine Thats right. Rogers Pass if possible or Lake Louise if its still too bony.
Epic man ... love that first run of the season buzz
It's always such a good feeling... doesn't matter if you're on a bunny hill.
Love this!
I love you Tom!
HI!
The first chair in Canada was november 2th at Sommet St-Sauveur in Quebec! ;) Nice video!!
Looks like I'm driving to QC next year 😂
Let’s go. Can’t forget to take the magic carpet ride. Lol.
You have to experience it all 😂😂
Dude! You crushed the video 🥰
Ayyyyye thanks Bruce!!
That double diamond magic carpet run looks dope.
It was a knee shaker 😂😂😂
0:40 might actually be the single most Canadian segment I've seen in a video 😂 Great video as usual man! So stoked for Whistler opening date, planning to head there around late March myself! 😁
You just can't write that shit man.... That moment made my entire trip hahaha
From West Virginia, FREAKING AWESOME BRAH. GGGrandparents arrived in Kincardine from Scotland in 1849, so my Canadian blood says "
Eh?"
Kincardine Ontario????? That's where my mom is from?
YOOO! Epic!!!!
Soooo fun!
Get after it bud!
Yeehaw!
Loving the stoke
Yooo thanks Will!!!
Yooooo I think we rode the gondy with you at Louise today! We were the Seccy crew from Sunshine. It was a pleasure meeting you!
Ayyyeee the seccy crew! Looking forward to that escort when I rip Sunshine this season 😂😂😂. Great meeting you legends as well!
Lifelong ski bum. Adored this video. Whistler for years now live in Kelowna. Big White opens this Saturday. Come up this way and see us.
Yoooo - Thanks for tuning in! I'd love to come to Biggie opening day but I'm still collecting pennies for gas money hahaha.
I'll for sure come for a visit mid-winter. Big White is a sick hill!
i love how high quality the editing is! your vids deserve wayyy more views, keep the good work up man i love your content!
Thank you so much. Pouring my blood, sweat and tears into the videos. Nice to hear that you can see the effort showing :).
The mad lad actually did it!
Dream small. Win BIG!
Big shout out to the first chairers of the world.
100% and the biggest shout out to @trailertom
You the man, getting me so hyped to slide down some mountains this season. Keep on keepin on boss
Thanks Sean. Stoked for you to get sliding!
Nutcase! And, coming from an Aussie/Canadian who loves skiing, but never gets to go anymore :(, that's saying something. Love it - keep the runs coming. (I was busy telling you you had missed a turn when you checked in from Canmore...until you explained that you can't sleep in Banff National Park. I seem to recall Norquay being a little steeper than that.)
One of the nuttiest things I've done to date 😂😂. You're totally right, Norquay is absolutely steeper but they only had the bunny hill open!
Proud of 1st open ski season at Canada 🎉🎉
November 3rd.... That's crazy!
Sommets St-sauveur, Qc was open the day before, Nov 2nd
So cool. 😂
Glad you like it 😂
Amazing video buddy
Thanks!!
great job!
Thanks Luke!
Nice, i was out in Sicamous this weekend, skied up to Mara Mountain Lookout. Vis was trash but hey, i was on skis and i didn't even core shot! Better than cypress was a couple weeks ago

"I forget how to do this!!!" Best line!
😂😂😂
Love the video. Your enthusiasm is infectious! We fly up from New York, every year, to ski the Big3. Always go to Norquay first. See you in April, my beautiful Banff!
Stoked for you to get out to Bandd!
love the hype
Your happiness is so contagious!! Great effort to make it 🎉🎉
Thanks Diana!
Inspirational 🎿🌈💕🌤️💕💕💕
Thats dedication, driving 800K´for 2 tiny runs - awesome buddy
Pure raw dedication and miserable financial planning!
MAn BC is sooooooo nice, i cant wait to visit it one day. Cheers from NB bud !
Ayyye thanks for tuning in from NB my dude!!!
With that energy and excitement a ski resort should hire you if they already have not.
That would be awesome!
I really enjoy your videos dude 👍
Appreciate that dude!
“Not blow a tire” great advice❤
The most important piece of opening day advice hahaha
The dedication is insane, keep it up
I'll do anything for a few turns 😂😂😂😂
@riseandalpine sommet st-sauveur in quebec opened on november 2nd. Sommet St-Sauveur was first in Canada.
I know! Mentioned it in the video. Guess I'm driving to Quebec next time 😂😂😂

@@TheBrianjorgensen Unreal! What a journey! Do you come out with a camper or something for the Spring. I'll absolutely get you some hotsauce!
We drive out in our pickup and rent an AirBnB for the month and ski everyday. We work at Sommet St-Sauveur all winter then come for the april goods... Weve been doing it years. Love the spring vibe pow up top, soft at the bottom.
Lets go BABY!!!!!!
Yeeehawww!
"i forget how to do this" then almost slip haha epic
That first run is always tricky 😂😂😂
Congrats. You made it 1st chair at Canada this year. ❤❤
Thanks Jarvis!
Agreed incredible drive
Yup in the west only lol...Saint Sauveur Quebec opened November 2nd with fake snow. They stay open until Canada day weekend every year.
Right on! I used to ride park up at SS! Solid little hill.

Still torqued 😂😂😂
Another amazing video. This ski season your hiting 25k
Thanks dawg. Here's hoping!!
This video hyped me so crazy up for my winter vacation, keep up the content!

@@riseandalpine in the Alps
Respect the hustle.
THanks!
Fuck yea brother!! Have a sick season🤟🤟
Wishing you a sick season to bro!!
Wicked video. Just subscribed!! I’m from BC as well
Yoooo! Welcome to the channel. Stoked to have you tuning in.
Fair play… I respect the grind of that journey. Well deserved first chair
Thanks Simon - What a journey it was. Glad to see this video getting some solid views. Maybe I'll make back the gas money hahahaha
@@riseandalpine haha yes, the RUclips ad revenue on my channel isn’t paying dividends yet 😂 skiing is an expensive addiction!
Looking forward to seeing more vids this winter!
Stay safe. This winter is gonna be a great one.
Same to you! Let's have an awesome winter!
Almost time to dig out the boards and put my motorcycles (2007 Electra Glide Classic, and my 2016 BMW S1000XR) away. I have a seniors seasons pass at Whistler this year, I can't wait.
Have you ever rode the skis up on the back of one of the bike in spring???
@riseandalpine Nope, the nice thing about having skiing and motorcycling as my main "happy place in life" is they don't conflict. 5 months of skiing, 7 months of motorcycling. I can't wait for snow.
After skiing Mt. Washington, for the last 20 years, and usually a 10 day Edge card at Whistler, I went big and got a Whistler seasons pass this year.
Amazing man! Proud of you.
Thanks Ian!
Thanks!
Martin!!! Thanks you legend. Helping me fill the gas tank. ❤️
Awesome adventure man keep it up from part of the first chair fam we love to see it!!!!❤
Ayyeee - You're the real legend... Maybe I need to join the boys in Colorado next year!
wow!, sweet.
Sooo Sweet!
Such a sick video man. Glad you're ripping it already!!
Thanks man!! Stoked to be back at it!
Imagine US folks freaking out when you said you are sleeping in the truck at -5, not releasing it was -5C ( 23F)
Hahahahaha... They probably think I'm tough as nails.
I thought he was going to get so excited that he would catch his ski getting on and flop out of the chair and have to get on the second chair.
Now that would have made for some amazing content 😂😂😂😂
I didnt get to norquay but im right behind you hittin sunshine opening day ❤ welcome back shredder !!!
Enjoy Sunshine Rob!!!
Awesome video. A change from many you've done before and enjoyable to watch.
Glad you liked this style! Had a blast making this one.
That was awesome! Thanks for taking all,of us on this journey with you!
Thanks for coming along Gabe!
Love the Video, only thing i would say it was not the first in canada! Sommet Saint Sauveur Was the first! they opened the 2nd of November
Looks like I'm driving to QC next year :)
Yeass
Yeeeehawwww!
Spinning Rise $ Alpine !
Let's Goooo!
Great video, mountain still hasn’t opened in Spokane WA😢😢 so watching all the good videos to get ready
Glad I can help you get excited for the start of your season!
Yeah baby! What a rush to do that!!!! Worked there 10 years ago, mayyyy have a video of jumping over the fence next to the magic carpet.
That energy and enthusiasm makes any bunny hill run fun!
You better send me the magic carpet fence gap video if you ever find it 😂😂😂

I just want you to know I watched this video from beginning to the end. The whole 15 min. You have a great natural instinct to make a great video.
First of all, the first resort to open in Canada this season was Mont Saint Sauveur in Quebec on Nov 2nd. I was there.
Nice! Guess I'm driving to QC next year.
Come down to the states and join for the first chair in Washington!!
What mountain. Baker? Stevens?
so happy you got out to my home mountain, Thanks for sharing your journey!
Thanks for coming along dude. Can't wait to give it a real ski when everything opens up.
Legend! You should do a video ranking the powder highway
Great idea! Going to have to ski some more resorts!
love this guy
❤️❤️❤️
Cool ..I want to get to Louise..
Louise is gorgeous!
@@riseandalpine I'm sure 😁😁..

Lol! I would’ve done the same!! 😂
I'm a Fan! love your pilgrimage to the mountain but I skied a day earlier at St-Sau. Have a wonderfull hot sauce season Dude.
Thanks Donald!! Glad you snuck out earlier. 'Western Canada's First Chair' was a little boring of a title hahaha
Lake Louise was also open before Norquay@@riseandalpine
Yeah Boi!!!! Let's go! Everyone forgets about Norquay. Such a cool mountain. Congrats man. First Canadian!
Can't wait to give Norquay a good ski in the middle of the season, it seems like a gem!
For as small of a channel as you are now(not for long) your production and editing is incredible! Seriously keep it up, new favorite ski RUclipsr.
Thanks Austin! Really appreciate that.
damn man wisconsin has no snow yet. I WANNA SNOWBOARD
Hopefully it comes down soon for you!
Bro! Too good! Thanks for coming to town man!
Thanks brother! Was a blast to make this one!
Sorry to crash your party buddy but the first chair in Canada was actually at Mont st-Sauveur Quebec on Thursday November 2 at 11h AM.I was probably on the 6th or seventh chair… not sure it would’ve been worth the drive across the country tough 😅
Party is not crashed hahaha, I knew it opened. I'm still buzzing. Sweet that you got on the 6th chair!!!
Seasons open!! We’re back!!!!!
You Betcha!
I miss Banff so much! Awesome video! First video I’ve seen of yours.
Hey Marcus! Banff is gorgeous. So stoked you found my channel dude!
@@riseandalpine Such a shame there’s no skiing over here in the UK. I’ll be back for sure! Would love to discover more of Canada, and Colorado too!
I fckg love your energy man , great video!!!!
THanks brother!
