Waiting for some day when this quality paragliding movie will come ;).
Work with athletes from México.!!
Stay tuned for an incredible paramotor piece in VR. Almost done!
ok
This is the best GoPro video i've ever seen
I have seen this film 28 times in the past three years and everytime i re watch it it makes me want to follow this lifestyle more and more
Keep dreaming and you will get closer and closer
This film was the reason I've decided to become a ski guide
@@tomhumberstone1415 so cool! Ski patrol is my dream job
If you have the balls to do this sort of thing, the personality to be a good entertainer, and knowledge of video editing, I'd say you could probably make a go of it.
@@nicolasa.3192 That’s the plan i’m currently saving up all the money from my minimum wage job to go chase this dream of mine and build a van. I’m a part time video and photo editor and a semi pro athlete in backcountry skiing so i’m hoping i can get this dream off the ground.
Can we take a moment to thank the godly camera man... He filmed all of this while skiing down a mountain, doing jumps, avoiding trees, etc. Damn this man is a God
I was thinking the same thing. UNBELIEVABLE FILMING AND FILM MAKING TALENT!!
So tru like he is a god. This is my favorite video on RUclips
It was his job
he could even fly ;O
Absolutely brilliant , lids off to the man
imagine being one of the 595 people who disliked this piece of art.
They probably have no friends and nothing better to do
tbh probably people concerned about the lack of avi conditions/conversations
There just jealous
@@chriskidder9531 I mean who isn't!!! Our parents just taught us better and now we are stoked for them!!
Cooper may True
"The athlete in Chris is what got him to the top but the artist in Chris will keep him there." Spot on!

this is the dream. i wouldn't mind literally living my life in a van and just snowboarding and surfing
Go professional. Perseverance, hard work training and quality film production.
azurah don’t dream do it!
It’s also my dream but i want to fit in society so i keep dreaming...
azurah same I would love to do this
Come and rent a van from us and live out that dream! @van_craft
paul kröpfl not only do I want to fit in I want to not be completely broke
When I watch these back-country skiing films i just have one question:
What am I doing with my life.
idkimnew11111 exactly the same here!
idkimnew11111 ditto!
idkimnew11111 you make a good point
Same here. This video made me utterly happy to see those beautiful landscapes and this way of life, and at the same time extremely sad of the boring life I have seating behind my desk in a job I hate.
SAME THO
30 mins of pure happiness, this is what the world needs
I watch this almost religously every year since it's release. The day the first snow falls, it's on. And then I watch it now and then during the season for inspiration. It's a small masterpiece
Thank you
What a wonderful accident wandering onto this video was.
same here bro
Wow
Movement of parkour meets skiing? Would be cool to see u guys try it out
shut up verified person
Wow is right
ruclips.net/video/C7o0g2uihFU/видео.html my ski edit from last winter, is sick!
@@matthewsalton887 ruclips.net/video/C7o0g2uihFU/видео.html my ski edit from last winter, is sick!
This video is arguably one of the best adventure videos uploaded on this platform. The pace, the cinematography, the fact that people watch it over and over lol. Well done GoPro
*let's build a custom Mercedes van and travel across the country doing cool shit.*
yes please
Yeah, we thought so too...
actually the dream!
Lets goo?!
I dont want a house i want a modified van
You up for it?
one of my favorite videos ever produced by you guys
I agree
music at 13:11 ?
This vid hit me. Don't know how I didn't see this before, but this is awesome. I love the emphasis on the beauty of sport rather than just the tricks and everything else. So happy to have seen this and it just makes me all the more ready for nest winter!
Your right
Yeah this guy must have a beautiful life❄️🌊🌲
The riding was superb, but the pace, the shots, the storytelling, the photography and beauty of the nature were something out of this world. Matt keep doing this, keep doing art. Best video I have ever watched.
Kiko Escobar thank you very much for the kind words, makes all the hard work worth it!
When he said “how are we going to do this egg swap” he had the perfect chance to say “how are we going to do this eggchange
aahhahah
“We have a stunning white ocean right in from of us” bro stop your gonna make me tear up
I'm pretty sure this video will change my life! I'm only 16 yet but this video makes me looking forward to becoming older so much and enjoy life just as you do.
Carl Philip Williams Me too
Brotherman don't ever get old but always remember you have only one life to live and it just might be a long one or not, so you better charge it and I mean charge it full on, full barrel with all you've got. Have a plan. Do you, don't just follow this flick, maybe you dig other stuff also and ya gotta do that too. Learn how to sustain yourself financially, physically and spiritually. Stay healthy. 16 man if I could start there again knowing what I know now. I had a good charge of it -surfed Europe, East coast, West coast, Central America, Hawaii for years, Asia. I did ski and snowboard the Rockies for years then both coasts, Europe also. Climbed a little but too up in NH. All I'm saying is don't wait, get started now, get in shape- don't be a wimp out there - know what your doing. Hang around friends who charge not glommers and potatoes. You dig? Too much? It's a year later from when you first posted your comment have you made any progression towards this goal? Peace owt.
I miss these feelings so much. The world is your oyster! PS I'm only 29, the feelings are still there somewhat. But those teenage years of just...itching to be 18 and "free"...I miss it
Heck yes... A fulfilling life is all about exploration and adventure.
learn to speak English first.
Best 30 minutes and 20 seconds I've ever watched. Got my adrenaline pumping and my mind inspiring. Don't know how else to put it, best GoPro video to date. Time flew when watching this video.
Also, who could dislike this video??!
YESS, I though exactly that. Who could have possibly disliked this? Just people who go on videos disliking them randomly? Just people who hate gopro? Do they disagree with the premise of this video? Are there trigger warnings? Today’s society is so fragile and sensitive so I wouldn’t be surprised if a good amount of dislikes did so because of the swearing.
So you didnt watch the last second. Gosh how rude
What second did u not like
People who accidentally pressed the wrong button
Honestly it happens sometimes
Hope it’s just that
Because it’s the best 30minutrs I’ve probably ever spent on RUclips.
Nicholas snowboarders
Watching in 2019 and WOW. I loved that video. The scenery made me appreciate earth even more. Can’t wait to ski this coming winter
ikr
Same with me 🤙
Same❄️🌨❄️🌨☃️
Wallahi
The stoke is real for this upcoming season...
This is my all time favorite RUclips video. I love watching it.
Yes mine too
Here's to every shot, every clip to the beat, every song, every sequence, every line, every ride, every person, every grade and finally, to the story; what and insane and beautifully executed production.
it is just so true
well said - Nice channel by the way
Oscar Stubbs I believe it's just shot in 4k.... That's the. Only difference between any other film....
100% agreed. Epic.
Incredible visuals
incredible storytelling
incredible understanding of beauty
incredible music
and incredible filmmaking.
This is by far one of the best productions you have ever made! Every single word and every single frame was breathtaking by itself and inspired many of us once again to pursue greatness and beauty of our world.
Thank you for this art.
Incredible Chris!
What you guys did here in this video is a perfect example of my biggest dream in life. Cruising around the world with your home right behind you. Riding the snow, climbing mountains and killing some waves. Thank you for inspiring me even more to chase my dreams. Now I hope I will get the chance to chase them. But eventually I will have to make them come true my self.
Chris has improved his carving a ton! Well, this was 5 hrs ago so this isn’t relevant anymore but.. man.. great snow and great athletes
Great job Matt aka skichef aka human drone!! And Chris Benchetler ! Masterpiece!
Abe Kislevitz I love your Videos
the man the myth the legend himself
Was that your voice narrating?
Thank you Abe! I learned from the best
ElDukeAy no that was matt
19:37 This jump that he captured is perfect 😍. It’s like a 7th heaven for my eyes.
I have watched this like 10 times. This is the best film that GoPro has ever released. I hope to see GoPro releasing more films like this.
I watch this video every year before, during, and after the season. Over and over again. it is a work of art, there is not much that can top this video.
Brilliant story combined with amazing editing. Great piece guys, in my opinion this is the best GoPro video to date. Keep it up!
music at 13:11 ?
First time in years that a GoPro video managed to get me hooked again. It was a pleasure to watch.
25:01 instant goosegumps
Absolutely....
Whats that song someone tell me
@@dxlve2752 It's "Soundless Sea" by Waterstrider
@@jankibort241 it's such an underrated group/song.. so beautiful
Back again in 2023. For me, this video is the perfect combination of excitement, creativity and nostalgia. See y'all again at the start of next ski season.
Best ad ever.
The funny thing is that I want like a 100 things after watching this but a gopro is not one of the things I would get, at least in the beginning
This is my favorite video of all time! Major respect to the filmer/editor and Chris it's all I want to be in life in one video.
Watching in end 2021, still one of my favorite videos on RUclips
Watching Chris ski gives me literal chills. It's so beautiful. I must have watched this movie 10 times now. It never gets old.
This is legit the best Ski video I have seen, and I have seen many ski videos😍
Agree another one which is nearly on the same level is the film "drop everything" you can watch it on red bull. I watched it again yesterday and every time really nice
Who does this?! This is AMAZE!
I could have watched 30 minutes of any ONE thing- especially the van and fire truck.
People with money
so its, "a maze" like a confusing path with one start and one end through mess of dead end paths? I can see that, great observation brain.
shut up verified person
@@Luna-oo3fl no you don’t.
this is no doubt the best ski video ever
perfect amount of skiing, talking and showing the landscape
This movie gives me chills. I miss my ski bum days and can't wait to get back into the sport.
This is one of the most beautiful and thought videos I've seen. You can feel the passion in every cut. Thanks for the inspiration!
As a snowboarder, this is sick
As a Chris, this is Chris
Tom Sharpe yeah I’m a snowboarder and this is sick
As a skier, this is sick
Good Lord, just the vistas get my heart racing. Gorgeous doesn't even begin to describe it. The beauty is literally overwhelming.
im a 14 year old kid from finland and i have seen this for over 10 times and always gives me more motivation for school to get a good job and money for buying a van and leaving to live life like this and take over mountains
Is so common to hear surfers compliment each others on their cars. It really appreciates the beautiful simple motion of gliding across on water. In skiing, people become so focused on what happens in the air, they forget what we already have on the ground.
Thank you Matt Cook and everyone else making this beautiful short movie!
*Carves. I heard cars as well too lol.
The new GoPro is amazing
It reminds me of Chris:)
It's really cool reading these comments and finding so much people with the same mindset and goals.
Inspiring
This is one of my favorite videos of all time. Always come back to it, especially when skiing season is nearly here.
9:57 "He treats the whole run as one continuous string of movement" Just like this doc did using narration to tie all the different locations, people and experiences in 30 mins. What a way to show skiing as an art form and Chris as a mind blowing athlete and artist.
An incredible video. Hopefully one day we can all take our dream trips.
I always applaud GoPro on the sheer quality of everything put out on this channel. Definitely some of the greatest content.
I love watching videos of skiing and snowboarders together. People always make it out like there is some rivalry between the two. I do both (though neither anywhere close to this level), and I appreciate the beautiful aspects of both, both riding and watching both
I truly lost track of time in this amazing video. I wish it had gone on for longer. It portrays the beauty in every sport, and shows why athletes strive to better themselves in said sports. This portrays a beautiful work of art and makes me excited to hit the slopes this winter.
This video is just too good. It relaxed me so much , thank you guys for making this video it is the best video i've ever watched
This video has changed my concept of skiing so much not just to enjoy the tricks i throw but the fealing of skiing in the best pow
I watched this video 6-8 months ago sitting in a small ski town bar while I lived out of my truck to ski every day. I was a few brewskis deep, yet can still vividly remember the moment like it just happened. My perception of my life changed when I saw it. Inspirational is an understatement. Well done.
16:40 that was one of the most beautiful backflips ive seen
Sage is a beast
I have already seen this multiple times!
U cant watch it often enough
I'm watching it everytime I want motivation for the winter!
@@tomtellem bro Im back watching it again like every winter
@@florianpriessner9340 me too!
Never gets old this video
this is the dream, ever since i saw this video one year ago, i just wanted to go living in a van and skiing and climbing, that would be the best thing in my life. If been skiing for 15 years now and i am so exited to go live and a van. Best video ever!!!!
I don't know how many times I've seen this film, but every time I watch I fall more and more in love with this lifestyle.
This reminds me of old school Warren Miller. Telling stories, going on adventures. Great job!
Such a great and beautifully filmed movie. Also like how casually the guys pull backflips around 16:30. Amazing skiers.
I watch this before every ski season now one of my fav ski films
This is so good I am almost as inspired by how much fun they are having as annoyed by how much fun they are having. Beautiful thing to get to live ones dreams.
Wow! Wow! Wow! Unreal guys! It's like a professional movie!! Great job, I'm jealous right now!! GoPro amazing products !!!!!
While the equipment are the tools to capture the moments. It's the people behind the scenes, camera's, and editing software the make the magic happen. Equipment can't do anything, without a beautiful mind taking control of it. I've never heard someone say,"Wow that's an amazing brush that Picasso used to make the Les Demoiselles d’Avignon."
This was absolute perfection. I loved every second and it just reminded me how lucky I am to live on the west coast!
I havr watch this over 5 times now and it keeps getting better honestly this is one of my dreams i want to do so thankyoy for showing us
This is by far one of my favorite videos on RUclips. It’s exactly what I want
me watching this 100 times because it gives me so much inspiration and a love for skiing :) can't wait for ski szn !!
Just bought my season pass to mammoth and this got me incredibly excited for the next season
Just bought my season pass to Chris and this got me incredibly excited for the next season
Year after year I seem to come back to this fascinating film
This one of the best videos i've ever watched man. People out here livin man!
Probably watched this like 50 times by now, love it
Man I'm jealous, this guy is living the life!
I still love rewatching this
This video never gets old!
god damn chris is such a humble and chill dude, and this camera guy made an awesome story and the sickest shots and editing ive seen since "chasing el nino" with chris too lol
This is an amazing movie my favorite ever love the story, passing and overall beauty of the shots keep it op guys!!!
I watch this video every year and every time I watch it, I find something new and beautiful.
This film is so incredibly touching and meaningful it’s unbelievable.
I‘ve watched this like 5times already
the heck .. the 30min are already over ? i thought i watched around 10 !
One of my favorite things I’ve ever watched on RUclips. Great filming, narration, music, and everything else. One of the big reasons I wanted to get into the sport more.
this is everything I ever wanted from a video. aspirational. fluid. human. beautiful. It keeps me going, keep it up ya'll
makes me want to go out skiing, amazing video
Speechless... an absolute awesome film, the Ski Chef cookin up some spicy dishes and servin em up hawt!!
This vid popped up in my recommended as if RUclips knew I was going to watch this again this year before ski season. Now back to wearing my gear in the house until it’s time.
This definitely the best skiing film I've ever seen. Amazingly well done, in every aspect. I keep finding myself coming back to it.
My dream is to do something like this some day. I'm just not ready, just stuck here in front of the computer dreaming .. *_*
Would love to find some friends to hang out with, they are just not there ..
Start doing and they will find you
I'm with you man my passion is skiing and skateboarding and my dream is to become a filmmaker when I grow up but all of it just seems so out of reach im 17 and I feel like time is running out and I am scared that when I grow up I will fall in into the hole and repetition of everyday life never having time to chase my dream.
Lucas Venezia you’re only 17. I’m twenty and in the same boat, only I’ve been working full time since I was your age. It’s a miserable feeling, thinking that you’re wasting your life away. But the more I dream the more tangible it becomes. I’m getting the point where I’m ready to abandon the decent paying job I have to pursue a life like this. You just have to take the risk. It’s never too late
@@lucasvenezia3069 Same boy same!!! I'm 17 too and I don't want to just go to university and have a normal job. I want to live my life to the fullest potential and create!
@@mats6960 I'm 19 and skiing pretty much all I think of. I got about 7 days a year to ski, it's intense but don't give up guys. In somehow asap I'm gonna shred everyday
I've watched this video every year (at the beginning of winter) since it came out. Simply a wonderful video. Thank you so much!
I literally watch it every time I go skiing and some times when I just feel like it
Here I am again
Once again, I‘m back.
This is one of the best films I have ever seen between the videography, the soundtrack, and the commentary. It is put together very well, and it is very inspiring! Love it!
Truly a timeless masterpiece!
Maybe the best GoPro video to date, amazing work!
Who is the editor? The post production is really good!
Matt Cook
No he isn't
I had a little problem with no colorgrading on some clips but yes it was edited amazingly
I think it was Chris
music at 13:11 ?
There is an incredible amount of work behind all this, every shot is worth it. Thanks Guys
This is a heart opener! What a life to live!
This may be the coolest video I've ever seen in my life. I didn't want it to end. Excellent job
i fucking love B.C. everywhere u go there its a good view, good place and good people!
It became so philosophical towards the end and I loved it all
