For all the guys saying he sucks, you clearly have not been down Lower A-Z. It’s steep and very technical. I was lapping up there today with a level 3 instructor/guide and we dropped Gutterball, which has a very similar drop in. he side slipped down the rocks, just like this guy, and he’s an awesome skier. This terrain is no joke.
Clearly all of the commenters would have triple back flipped in I mean look at the person as soon as they are in a place that’s not terrible coverage, they are clearly a very good skier lol
The hike and runs are so sketchy. I did 1st fork with the guide u skied little couloir with. It had snowed a lot, and there was better snow on three forks than anywhere else. The person still told me “don’t even turn, just slip the top.” Tells you how sketchy these runs are.
If the rocks were not so damn sharp in Big Sky he could have made a few turns at the top, but you don't want to screw up getting in, so good job on taken it easy and living to ski another day. The actual skiing he did was good those chutes are steep, fast and narrow.
Hello, To the person who filmed this video (FrontRow Steve). You dont have to convince me, the camera never does justice to a super steep ski slope. Awesome photography and even better skiing. The person skiing was just being tactical in the first 50 seconds of the video, nothing wrong with that. I think he nailed after that, again great job. By the way, Jimmydeez is spot on with his assertions.
I am going to defend the guy again saying am very certain none of the people writing negative comments have actual footage of themselves on double black . A- Z chutes is an actual double black with rough rocky faces. The internet is too fearless behind their computer screens.
Actually, he was getting into the appropriate position, which is the mark of an expert, not an amateur. An amateur would have dropped off of the rocks and crashed. You have to have a plan to ski a steep chute like that. If you fuck it up off of the bat, you rag doll the rest of the way down. Then you are at the mercy of whatever you run into.
You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. The A-Z chutes are crazy. It is the camera angle that is throwing you off. These chutes are some of the steepest in-bounds skiing in the US.
I was in a road band and we played at Big Sky Resort. They gave us free ski rentals and lift tickets. I hit an icy spot at the top of a chute called "Little Tree". The edges on the skis were not sharp and I skidded about 1/4 mile all the way to the bottom and hurt my knee. The ski patrol was at the bottom when I came to a stop. He said, "You sure put on a go show". lol I managed to keep my skis below me but couldn't even see where I was going cause the snow and ice came up over my skis and obscured my view down hill. We played music at Whiskey Jacks and I had to sit on a chair to play my guitar cause my knee hurt so much. :)
hey idk why people are saying mean things. i really enjoyed ur video!!! thats looks super hard! i ski Bridger B. so i havent gotten a chance to see these shoots yet. but i have kinda explored most of BB so i think i might come here and try some skiing! looks sweet! you guys look like a good group of skiers id love to ski with u guys!
One could argue the title is misleading but there's no conceivable way to enter this faster so I don't know how people are giving the skier any flak. There's a ton of exposure on this line and it's undoubtedly a no-fall zone. The entry is well-executed, interesting, and entertaining to watch. If you disagree, you're not into this type of skiing and just not the target audience for this video.
Good vid, and good skiing. Anybody talking smack here obviously hasn't sat at the top of the chutes. I live in Big Sky now, and trust me, the A-Z's and Headwaters are no freaking joke. I'd love to see a proper video response filmed there from any of the posers talking trash.
Exactly lol. This is steeper and more importantly, narrower than it looks on the wide angle camera. BTW how is the big couloir? Seems like on a powder day it'd be relatively low risk. Otherwise I'm not sure I'd do it, even on a snowboard.
I agree this video could have been edited to one minute or less. As far as the difficulty of the line though, based on all the gopro skiing I've done (this looks like a gopro vid ya?), and the video I watched of these chutes from the normal perspective, they look like pretty full commitment "no fall" type chutes. Also, it looks like there could be some shark fins lurking in that first area of snow he steps down into which would make dropping into it a potentially really bad call. Nicely skied a
Ok when you get to Big Sky I can take you up there and we will see. Its about 65 degrees at the top and jagged rocks that are barely covered up. You guys can huck it from the top and we will call the ski patrol to come clean you up.
Ohhh God do I hate that feeling but love the reward! Nice turns on the way down! Don't listen to any haters that was fully legit albeit hard to watch (never is easy).
This reminds me of surfing some days. You could wait and paddle around for 3 hours and all your rides might total maybe 120 seconds. Well worth the tradeoff though
yeah man - respect - I'll never do that. Even if I got good enough and thought I could pull it off. Just seems too risky - something goes wrong something goes REALLY wrong.
why don't you show everyone how you do it? That rope is there for a reason - you do not want to make mistake and tumble - this is not about impressing anyone but about having fun - once he cleared the rocks he did great
Ah yes, the infamous arm chair skiers... "Some say, that they can ski the highest gas peaks on Jupiter without any oxygen at all. All we know is they are called (insert name here).
I think it is stupid that the internet giving the skier crap about this tough run (steep with sharp rocks). What is even more ridiculous is the fact that most of the people posting negative comment have video posted on green runs (more pointless videos).
Good for your effort. As a former ski instructor I recommend building up to more challenging terrain, so you can learn at a level that isn't too challenging - adrenaline pumping. Brave to show your efforts. Keep it up and consider a few lessons - it will make skiing even more fun.😅
It's basically a vert drop entry and you have to shoot the rocks during the drop. If your not comfortable dropping in very for 15 feet then taking sharp turns it's treacherous. Looks like a fun place to ski. When in doubt, chicken out ski again tomorrow 😅😅😄
I’ll add, notwithstanding complaints but it is definitely worth showing the entire entry stepping down anchored by holding the ski patrol rope which I’m sure you edited cause it was all of 4 mins, but actual process probably longer but it’s very informative and honest. This crap of people editing videos and showing all these high speed descents is not credible as they edit out the ‘hard parts’ where they stopped, walked, side-stepped, slid on their arses etc. Excellent video, thanks .
like he's not a bad skier, but i think the reason why ppl gave so many dislikes is because the title said "crazy skier" and the first 10 seconds made you believe that he's gonna bomb down the whole thing in lightning speed. But then, he didn't, so we were all disappointed. And ruining his skis in the process didn't help either, i mean, there's only about 1.5 meters of rocks, and it's all gravy underneath...
when i film, i flatten the horizon. It is certain that the slope is really huge n this place but the way of filming gives distorted images compared to reality. Which remains enormous, that's without any doubt. It's a really crazy place here.
All you "haters"? We're not hating really - just annoyed that someone lied to us in the title of the post. If the poster calld "My friend facing his fears going down a steep run" we would just thumb it down and call it boring. I've gone down slopes that nearly all advanced skiers in ski clubs would pass on. Yet I have never posted a video. If I do post one, it will be for my family and friends, not public access. Better people than me should brag - "phenoms", not fourteen year-old intermediates.
why so many dislikes: - boring - who want's to see so much waiting - it's not steep but sharky - jump over it! - there is an easy exit! - do you think if you sit down you won't slide down?! Ski edges are musch stable!
Was just there! Worth taking the chair that goes to the team for lookout… shit gives me chills… all the beacon, shovel, etc warnings - “expert terrain” danger signs. I’m decent on a board, fuck that 😂
I get it took a long time but a to z chutes are steep as shit and you cant just bomb it right away. you have to get past the rocks at the top and then it is good
I have to admit - thought he was hesitating because he was a scared amateur in over his head trying to prove something...then at the very end of the video he put that thought to rest! Well done - impressive!
I will give him the benefit of the doubt, that sun-facing slope always is variable and could have bony, flesh tearing volcanic rock for the first 20 feet of that chute up to the constriction and being the first one of the day/season is always nerve racking. Most of you idiots commenting are gapers, tram downloaders and poseurs. If you would like to see for yourself, come hike with me on the other side of that ridge (the Headwaters) I'll be glad to show you around. (for a large fee).
because its easier to go straight off the traverse than to pull a jump turn after climbing down the rocks. You'd be surprised how easy it is to mess up on stuff like that.
oh wow double blacks that's intense!!!!! While obviously it would be steeper in real life, he did make it a lot harder than it needed to be. However, it's all good because he made it down in one piece and thats all that matters. As for the hate, you can't past a video on youtube without expecting some degree of hate.
Well I can safely say that I would be dead trying to go down that. Then again I live in Iowa and haven't been anywhere but Iowa or WI skiing. Hopefully that will change next season.
Dont listen to these guys, I can tell that is a very steep line, he did the right thing and took his time , you can tell he is not only strong but smart. thanks for the post
Where I agree he was a little timid at the top ( to say the least) and he probably didnt need a line either, Big Sky is a really exposed mountain where the conditions are super variable with hidden jagged rocks.. That section of the A to Zs is not a place one should just go charging. Also, you can see that theres really not that much snow in there. Id bet it had been days since the last snow fall and he's still getting fresh tracks. Any nay-sayers should post themselves or shut up
Jeez, these comments are toxic. They just wanted to ski a extremely challenging run! And to add on, they didn’t change their mind at the top! They went in. I admit, yes, there should be editing, but still.
Yo I ski, but the hardest thing I’ve ever done was a black, and it was almost as steep as a double black, but I’ve only been skiing one year, and I’m 13 so I think that’s pretty good, but props to this dude, I couldn’t do that
everybody can do blacks. Sometimes head first. The problem I have is doing them while staying in full control instead of a sort of panicked semi-fall :)
Somebody report this problem to you tube. I clicked on "Crazy skier drop in A to Z Chutes..." but I somehow got redirected to "scared guy takes forever to gingerly ease his way into A to Z Chutes and skis out with a reasonable degree of competence but nothing really interesting to see here."
I will say this in support of the skier going down. He was clearly scared but did something. That's a start. However, if the skier will (hopefully soon) put faith in the physics of his skills, he'll realize he can do much better by just committing and then maintaining a calm focus despite his fear. Yes, easier said than done. But I've been there and learned (a few times over) holding back like that only makes it harder and less fun.
When i was skiing this type of terrain video cameras weren't what they are now. Presently with a schattered Tib i can't. However with 20 + years in Freestlye/Freeskiing plus skiing everything that Summit (Copper, Breck, Keystone, A-Basin) county has to offer plus various other resorts around the Rockies and Pacific Northwest, I think I'm more than qualified. Now pick up my jock and carry on Junior!
For all the guys saying he sucks, you clearly have not been down Lower A-Z. It’s steep and very technical. I was lapping up there today with a level 3 instructor/guide and we dropped Gutterball, which has a very similar drop in. he side slipped down the rocks, just like this guy, and he’s an awesome skier. This terrain is no joke.
Ryan Delena yes!!!!
Cool man 👍
True. Many times I have not looked to smooth, yet I am a pretty good skier (ex instructor.) I take on challenging terrain.
Clearly all of the commenters would have triple back flipped in
I mean look at the person as soon as they are in a place that’s not terrible coverage, they are clearly a very good skier lol
The hike and runs are so sketchy. I did 1st fork with the guide u skied little couloir with. It had snowed a lot, and there was better snow on three forks than anywhere else. The person still told me “don’t even turn, just slip the top.” Tells you how sketchy these runs are.
"drop in" is used very loosely here
Tucker Brown more like on rappel
Like you could “drop in” on this
Lol
Yeah I lost interest waiting
The guy's a definite Gak just drop and for Christ's sake
If the rocks were not so damn sharp in Big Sky he could have made a few turns at the top, but you don't want to screw up getting in, so good job on taken it easy and living to ski another day. The actual skiing he did was good those chutes are steep, fast and narrow.
Taking it…
a to z chutes are no joke, my bro lived at big sky in 2000 and we shredded these ,and yes they are steep !! love big sky !!
Hello,

The person skiing was just being tactical in the first 50 seconds of the video, nothing wrong with that. I think he nailed after that, again great job. By the way, Jimmydeez is spot on with his assertions.
I'm sure the camera angles make it look mellower than it really is. I imagine most of the people talking shit would be gripped in there.
yes they would
It looks mellow at first until he takes off, then it’s obvious how step it is with how fast he picks up speed.
I am going to defend the guy again saying am very certain none of the people writing negative comments have actual footage of themselves on double black . A- Z chutes is an actual double black with rough rocky faces. The internet is too fearless behind their computer screens.

if you turn your head about 45 degrees to the left you get an idea how steep it is.... cool the rudeness, kids.... please
That was awesome! Whoever comments bad stuff is just jealous
I don’t understand it. He took his time and executed it perfectly. 😂
I was in a road band and we played at Big Sky Resort. They gave us free ski rentals and lift tickets. I hit an icy spot at the top of a chute called "Little Tree".

This video is incredible. It has great suspense and an especially scary (and snowy) cliffhanger.
cliffhanger :D
3:30 = when the action happens
You're welcome :-)
That is not a time stamp
hey idk why people are saying mean things. i really enjoyed ur video!!! thats looks super hard! i ski Bridger B. so i havent gotten a chance to see these shoots yet. but i have kinda explored most of BB so i think i might come here and try some skiing! looks sweet! you guys look like a good group of skiers id love to ski with u guys!
Jerry did just about everything *except* dropping in.
One could argue the title is misleading but there's no conceivable way to enter this faster so I don't know how people are giving the skier any flak. There's a ton of exposure on this line and it's undoubtedly a no-fall zone. The entry is well-executed, interesting, and entertaining to watch.

BTW how is the big couloir? Seems like on a powder day it'd be relatively low risk. Otherwise I'm not sure I'd do it, even on a snowboard.
Dude you sound like a awesome skier and a super fun guy. I'm really impressed with how you dissed that skier. Totally rad.
You know you can ski right past those rocks :)
You do it big guy
Wow, nice turns. He did a great job with his control in the fast paced zone.
I agree this video could have been edited to one minute or less. As far as the difficulty of the line though, based on all the gopro skiing I've done (this looks like a gopro vid ya?), and the video I watched of these chutes from the normal perspective, they look like pretty full commitment "no fall" type chutes. Also, it looks like there could be some shark fins lurking in that first area of snow he steps down into which would make dropping into it a potentially really bad call. Nicely skied a
best thing I have seen today
Ok when you get to Big Sky I can take you up there and we will see. Its about 65 degrees at the top and jagged rocks that are barely covered up. You guys can huck it from the top and we will call the ski patrol to come clean you up.
Anybody else think it looks a hell of alot longer then is acually was! But mad props to that dude.
Ohhh God do I hate that feeling but love the reward! Nice turns on the way down! Don't listen to any haters that was fully legit albeit hard to watch (never is easy).
Nice man! Only one problem. It's way more than 45 degrees. =)
Some say hes still sidestepping over rocks to this day
LMAO
We'll never know
This reminds me of surfing some days. You could wait and paddle around for 3 hours and all your rides might total maybe 120 seconds. Well worth the tradeoff though
There's four minutes I will never get back!
yeah man - respect - I'll never do that. Even if I got good enough and thought I could pull it off. Just seems too risky - something goes wrong something goes REALLY wrong.
I witnessed a fall from this area last March. The skier had to be sledded out.
why don't you show everyone how you do it? That rope is there for a reason - you do not want to make mistake and tumble - this is not about impressing anyone but about having fun - once he cleared the rocks he did great
Not bad, tough entry with all the exposed rocks, but looked like a great run after that.
Give the guy a break... it takes huge balls that most of you dont have to do that.
Ah yes, the infamous arm chair skiers... "Some say, that they can ski the highest gas peaks on Jupiter without any oxygen at all. All we know is they are called (insert name here).
I think it is stupid that the internet giving the skier crap about this tough run (steep with sharp rocks). What is even more ridiculous is the fact that most of the people posting negative comment have video posted on green runs (more pointless videos).

Trying to get up the courage to board the A-Z chutes. Thanks for the video!
Amazing… I love to ski.. but couldn’t do that. High respect for yall
It's basically a vert drop entry and you have to shoot the rocks during the drop. If your not comfortable dropping in very for 15 feet then taking sharp turns it's treacherous. Looks like a fun place to ski. When in doubt, chicken out ski again tomorrow 😅😅😄
Once you are strapped in its really not that bad, its the hike in boots that will get to you
I think i got worse at skiing by watching this. Now i have to ski brown shorts at revy fast tomorrow to make up for it.
I’ll add, notwithstanding complaints but it is definitely worth showing the entire entry stepping down anchored by holding the ski patrol rope which I’m sure you edited cause it was all of 4 mins, but actual process probably longer but it’s very informative and honest. This crap of people editing videos and showing all these high speed descents is not credible as they edit out the ‘hard parts’ where they stopped, walked, side-stepped, slid on their arses etc. Excellent video, thanks .
You must be the gnarliest guy on youtube
after watching more of it he actually did pretty good
like he's not a bad skier, but i think the reason why ppl gave so many dislikes is because the title said "crazy skier" and the first 10 seconds made you believe that he's gonna bomb down the whole thing in lightning speed. But then, he didn't, so we were all disappointed. And ruining his skis in the process didn't help either, i mean, there's only about 1.5 meters of rocks, and it's all gravy underneath...
i would do that too if i could afford a new pair of skis for each day i went skiing
when i film, i flatten the horizon. It is certain that the slope is really huge n this place but the way of filming gives distorted images compared to reality. Which remains enormous, that's without any doubt. It's a really crazy place here.

Great skiing but is it worth ruining your skis for that?
This video would be awesome if it was about 10 seconds long.
When your buddy finds out you borrowed his skis that day.
why so many dislikes:
- boring - who want's to see so much waiting
- it's not steep but sharky - jump over it! - there is an easy exit!
- do you think if you sit down you won't slide down?! Ski edges are musch stable!
We will be skiing there in Feb. No way in Hell would I try that. Kudos!
Was just there! Worth taking the chair that goes to the team for lookout… shit gives me chills… all the beacon, shovel, etc warnings - “expert terrain” danger signs. I’m decent on a board, fuck that 😂
Thought he was going to side slip the whole thing after 3 minutes of crawling out on to the slope
I get it took a long time but a to z chutes are steep as shit and you cant just bomb it right away. you have to get past the rocks at the top and then it is good
I have to admit - thought he was hesitating because he was a scared amateur in over his head trying to prove something...then at the very end of the video he put that thought to rest! Well done - impressive!
he's moving very deliberately. definitely experienced.
Well, I never get those four minutes of my life back. Geez
I will give him the benefit of the doubt, that sun-facing slope always is variable and could have bony, flesh tearing volcanic rock for the first 20 feet of that chute up to the constriction and being the first one of the day/season is always nerve racking.

It's the Better Off Dead "K12," but steeper & with more rocks.
This video is best viewed sideways.
Dont listen to these guys, I can tell that is a very steep line, he did the right thing and took his time , you can tell he is not only strong but smart. thanks for the post
I hope his skis were brand new... I woulda just hopped lifted the skis and hoped that the core shots weren't too bad...
-that is steep-
_that is super steep_
This is insane. Def would not ever fuck with that lol
Thought this was way bigger until he started going down
Dude: Bring your rock skis!
Skip to 3:30 for an anticlimactic finish. Never looks the same on video as being there. That much I can tell ya.
i enjoyed it.
all that skiing skills but he had to do all that bullshit on the first 10 feet??? Just go bro! You got it!
Where I agree he was a little timid at the top ( to say the least) and he probably didnt need a line either, Big Sky is a really exposed mountain where the conditions are super variable with hidden jagged rocks.. That section of the A to Zs is not a place one should just go charging. Also, you can see that theres really not that much snow in there. Id bet it had been days since the last snow fall and he's still getting fresh tracks. Any nay-sayers should post themselves or shut up
Oh and Mr. Nash, there are runs in VT that are steeper than A to Z. But none the less they are knarly
Exactly. Why did I need three posts to say that? I was just puzzled by the title I was figuring I must be missing something.
Jeez, these comments are toxic. They just wanted to ski a extremely challenging run! And to add on, they didn’t change their mind at the top! They went in. I admit, yes, there should be editing, but still.
thats BS I'm still in high school and i've skied it and didn't ruin my skis in the process
Thrilling performance, please take care 👍
That's the thing with the A-Z chutes, you only get it wrong once!!
Yo I ski, but the hardest thing I’ve ever done was a black, and it was almost as steep as a double black, but I’ve only been skiing one year, and I’m 13 so I think that’s pretty good, but props to this dude, I couldn’t do that
Start easy and build confidence. If you stay in control your can ski until your 90s.
everybody can do blacks. Sometimes head first. The problem I have is doing them while staying in full control instead of a sort of panicked semi-fall :)
Crazy Steve
bad time to try something like that wait until the rocks are covered.
Heck ya... that's bad ass...
Fast froward to 3:30!!! Trust me!!!
RIP to those skis when does he drop in
Hold your screen diagonally, so the people standing appear vertical, as they should. Then you see how steep this really is.
Somebody report this problem to you tube. I clicked on "Crazy skier drop in A to Z Chutes..." but I somehow got redirected to "scared guy takes forever to gingerly ease his way into A to Z Chutes and skis out with a reasonable degree of competence but nothing really interesting to see here."
Best skier in Ohio 😐🫠🫣🤭🫢🫡🫣🤭🫢🫡😁😊🫠😐☺️😀😉😞🤬😕😅👱👱♀️🧑🧑🦰👩🦰👥👦👩🦱🧑🦱👨🦱🫂👶👧🧒👤😆😁😄😃😀🥹😅😂🤣🥲
I know its steep and all that but c'mon, his all geared up but hasn't got the guts. He is wrecking his skies on those nasty rocks..
When he goes he's gone.
drop in already
I will say this in support of the skier going down. He was clearly scared but did something. That's a start. However, if the skier will (hopefully soon) put faith in the physics of his skills, he'll realize he can do much better by just committing and then maintaining a calm focus despite his fear. Yes, easier said than done. But I've been there and learned (a few times over) holding back like that only makes it harder and less fun.
omg the little thumbs up u gave him 😭
he fuckin shredded that tho
Did they bring their own rappel rope or is that fixed up there?
The 🏂 went 20 minutes ago.
Last time I checked snowboards scrapped all the snow away. When did skiers start developing this habit? This shouldn't have extreme in the title
Dude.....save this for your buddies.
you should get a t-shirt for doing that
When i was skiing this type of terrain video cameras weren't what they are now. Presently with a schattered Tib i can't. However with 20 + years in Freestlye/Freeskiing plus skiing everything that Summit (Copper, Breck, Keystone, A-Basin) county has to offer plus various other resorts around the Rockies and Pacific Northwest, I think I'm more than qualified. Now pick up my jock and carry on Junior!
