- While on a film shoot with @tetongravityresearch in Alaska in the beginning of March, we had the pleasure of skiing at Alyeska resort on our down days. Alyeska is a ripping ski hill with a ton of fun terrain. The north face of the mountain is around 2000' vert of consistent fall line skiing, and the rest of the mountain is rolling terrain that is feature rich, and super fun. On top of that there is a tram that takes you right from the hotel directly to the goods.
Following Kai around was a blast, we had some chalky runs early in the trip and then on the last day we were in town, we awoke to a sunny pow day to cap it all off! Special Thanks to Alyeska Resort, TGR, and Atomic for the good times.
Kai is so smooth hope to see him on the FWT in the years to come - big fan of Kai
Hes a amazing skier, and his attitude and perspective is super good on top of that. It was so good getting to spend a few weeks together. This guy truly has a deep love of sport and great vibe.
This is awesome! So great to see Kai. Thanks for the series.
One day I hope to see Sage following Candide ;) best combo ever.
That would be my dream como too. Were friends, just havent seen him in a long time!
this is awesome Sage, havent watched the video yet but I know its gonna be sick with Kai Jones, keep up the good work!
thanks its a good one!
KAI!!!!! YEAA BUDDY!
Oh yes!
Such a fun sesh dude!
thanks! it was a blast
it's crazy to see a pro in the small town of gird. big tyme rippa
👊
Good to see Kai back on skis. Looks like his confidence in those knees is slowly improving. Another great video.
Hes doing amazing. After this trip filming Id say his confidence is back.
Great to hear. Tibia plateau fractures are BRUTAL. They rehab slowly and cautiously, so it's rad to see him bending skis again.

Thank you for choosing Alyeska
Awsome! I skied Alyeska for 9 seasons, and know all those hits! I was hoping to see something on picnik rock but it didn't really look set up at all when you skied past it.
Ya same. Was also looking for Eagle rock.
yeah it was pretty firm underneath the whole time we were there but skied really good none the less!
Eagle rock off the top and LoLos leap. Hit those hard 35 years ago. Should be cake for these boys on fats.
kai is so balanced when he skis
a good observation and spot on!
Kai Jones looking so strong!!
He's back and skiing better than ever.
So cool to see pros rippin my local!!! You guys definitely hit most of the classics!
haha yeah the hits and Christmas are some staples of the zone fore sure!!

Sick bro!! Too bad Christmas was closed when I was up there recently. Happy that Kai is back! Thanks for the best ski videos around, incredible skiing and great vibes! Where will you be for next video??

He’s insane shout-out to Kai

Jee wiz Sage, your life sucks! j/k
I am happy that I get to live vicariously through your videos, especially now that I am couch bound after a pretty bad ski crash a few days ago. No worries though, I'll be back at it in a day or so.
Thx for all the work, you rock brother.
Oh dang! glad to hear youll be good and glad to provide some entertainment! Heal up well!
At least you got Christmas while there.
we were really stoked on that! its quite the run!
@@sagePerspective Hells yeah! It's good when it's good...aka Chaulkmas 😄
Imagine being the dude at 1:34 taking a picture and then you see Kai jones come into frame, ripping a backie
Hahah. Yep
Передавай привет ,Каю 🤙🏽
В России его знают и уважают его стиль катания ! Надеемся скоро увидеть в очередной раз его огромные прыжки и участие в FWT чемпионом ❤
Nice! He would do well there for sure
That’s incredibly fast. Do all pros ski at that kind of speed? Thats crazy. And they got legs of steel.
The fast speed is pretty standard for sure.
Some of that terrain reminds me of Bachelor
totally, also kinda has some Targhee vibes with the big rolling zones and bowls.
Great video, what are your GoPro settings?
Thanks! this episode was shot 50/50 on DJI action 4 and a Gopro 12 both settings pretty much the same, 24FPS, 16:9, Superview and wide angle and 4k
Hi Sage, dont you know what lenght of skis is Kai using and what height he is? Thanks.
Dont know exactly but think hes on the 180 bent 110, and think hes prob somewhere between 5'5"-5'7"
How does that look so easy! 😂😂
smooth operator!
dont know how you do it - getting blasted with roost :)
haha its chaos at times for sure!!
How is what possible?
buddy rips for a guy without any ACLS
Think hes all healed up, he went through a lot though for sure and this trip marked just around 1 yr. from his injury.
There’s like 15 Girdwood kids who rip harder than Kai…
Boring, no camber twin tips are so lame, might as well ski on snowlerblades.
clearly, your not a golfer.
