I feel like this film was about Celeste more than about anything else :) She is an awesome and a badass skier, and she totally deserves the credit! And I also think Nikolai did a great job mentoring her into this line of work that he is doing. Hope to see more of her skiing in years to come!
No offense but I feel like she's blinded by getting clips and putting everyone else in danger. So eager to get shots, that she sacrificed safety and good decisions. Not to mention she fell on an exposed couloir with rocks everywhere and days away from the closest help. These types of people put everyone in danger.
with that being said I think she's a good skier but maybe she needs to think more about the consequences of an accident happening, and not acting like they are at a ski resort.
@@stephenclark15 all true. It only shows how little real experience she has. Nikolai spoke a lot of his own mistakes himself, and she will learn too ;)
@@stephenclark15 Im not quite sure what you mean by this. They all put them self in danger. That's the kick of it. Even Nikolai sais it, that he knows he can die. With that thinking it was nikolai that put her in danger. I might miss your point tho, but as a snowboarder i love the kicks. I want to enjoy life. Die you can do to whatever. Me and my dad was skiing and boarding all kind of thinks. My mom lived healthy and carefully. She still died early due to disease. I dont see how them teaching celeste makes her put them in more danger then they allready signed up for.
46:53 and that kids, is how I met your mother😆. Seriously though another great film Niko (et all)! Celeste's experience tells a story we can all relate to
Wavy 1 was so incredibly cool... Im so thankful a company like Black Crows saw its beauty and decided to sponsor this! Well done black crow, marketing done right!
The fact that she went back to do it again is so powerful. And the support that everyone has for each other is honestly so powerful. Love what these people are making in terms of videos. This is exactly what i wanna do when i grow up
Been waiting for this one for months and it certainly delivered! Also kind of representative of current situation in Europe with lack of snow, got me pumped for some rock-evading skiing :)
Just want to say I watch a LOT of ski films (as many as my heart can take); but this one, especially, was just SO REAL and true to life! Not just run after mind-boggling run, but all the other goofy, slightly disorganized stuff that goes with a real adventure like that. This is the way my friends and I would be. So I didn't feel like just a freaked-out observer but actually like I was there too. F**kin'-A!
This was amazing to watch. Nikolai's personality shines through as usual with the epic skiing and sceneries. Love the great editing with Nikolai's thoughts of the journey a perfect complement to it all. The beautiful music really hits the emotions of the moment.
I saw it at EOFT and immediately was like: there is so much missing - you guys story telling usually is so much better! So was very happy to watch it again in full length with proper story telling! Svalbard is very high on the list for me since a long time, but haven't managed to go there yet. But definitely need to do that as soon as the budget allows...
Thank you for making these. Thank you for sharing the process and the thoughts behind... they are as valuable as the skiing you gang do! You are all wonderful. You all complete each other... much love!
Yeah i thought RUclips was automatically downgrading my res to 360p or something... definitely needs a re-upload. Great story and the visuals would be incredible without distracting blockiness
Yeah, doesnt look like a RUclips issue, as most parts of the video are fine and raising the resolution (which also raises the Bitrate) does not help. Probably an error during the encoding.
Fantastic video! Makes me want to start skiing again AND learning sailing AND moving back to Scandinavia :D Celeste is great! Niko should plan a visit to Canada for a ski trip with her :)
Great movie, exceptional places...I've never been to Svalbard while I had a chance for some sail and ski around Lyngen...and yes this is it. This year we also plan to visit Tromso - there is something in the Arctic - it is addictive. Regards from Poland!
So stoked on this!! Your tribe that you surround yourself with are gold. I wish everyone who watches this to have a tribe as cool. The story, filming and skiing makes me want to step up my own adventures. Thank you for sharing this!
Nicolai and team, great to meet you in Ny Alesund last summer and teach you some old sea shanties. I think I heard you sing "bound for South Australia at you reached the top the final couloir! Glad to see you got up the mountain after we left as Sophie was super quiet when we sailed off to find the bears! The snow was great, even if it was a bit of an expedition to find it! Loving the videos - keep them coming.
Remember the old days when as a snowboarder I felt obliged to hate on skiers when we’re all just on the same team. Anyone feeling any sense of hate, just watch Nikolai enjoy his passion. Maybe time to find a crew here in Norway to find some good lines with.
Finally it's been released, waited since the first time you talked about it. The thing I was most excited for in 2022, thanks for your excellent work Nikolai 🤩
The classic Svalbard rocks;) Even when the wind has not blown the snow away yet they leave some souvenirs on your skis. But the views, ptarmigans and reindeer on Svalbard are the best :DD
best skiing video, as always from you, but didn't expect to see a love story developing... awesome stuff, Nikolai! we're waiting to see more of Celeste and, of course, Wavy 3!!!
Been waiting so long for this one to publish on YT! Great film, as usual from Schirmer. Beautiful film. Kind of becoming a thing him blowing up partners though. It's awesome being supportive of friends and pushing them beyond their limits but with athletic pursuits sometimes optimism and stoke aren't enough. Would have loved to see this at a screening, it seems like youtube didn't like the upload and I got a lot of artifacting
Great stuff and this proves it doesn't have to be epic pow to make a good movie! One correction to the voice over, Santa comes from Finland and not from north pole 😉

47:03 maybe even more :)
Haha yeah, I saw that. They were running on fumes there.
@@shamatitou is niko not with sigrid anymore
@@laurikultima8758 No, they broke up about 8 months ago.
Wavy 1 was so incredibly cool... Im so thankful a company like Black Crows saw its beauty and decided to sponsor this! Well done black crow, marketing done right!
I’m pretty grateful for black crows too🙏
I agree!
Celeste's eyes at 47:00 means everything
they're meant to be together
That was exactly my thought! That look says it all
Thats the look of a girl with a crush haha
Ha, When I watched it and go that part she made me smile so hard. Definitely saw the eyes of someone who is crushing hard.
47:03 If they end up together than this shot will become this quintessence of life for these two.
well thanks, now I have a crush on Celeste Pomerantz 🙄
Get in line buddy 😂😂
Not alone there buddy
😂
❤
Totally
I had a crappy day until i saw this
The fact that she went back to do it again is so powerful. And the support that everyone has for each other is honestly so powerful.
Love what these people are making in terms of videos. This is exactly what i wanna do when i grow up

Quality like always from Nikolai 👍

I love that Celeste is the craziest of all of them. More Celeste skiing plz!
Second chances are the best! Celeste, you are a badass skier!
Yeah! ❤😂she made me cry
And I think I speak for all of us when I say, if you and Celeste don't make adorable ski grom babies, we riot.
This was amazing to watch. Nikolai's personality shines through as usual with the epic skiing and sceneries. Love the great editing with Nikolai's thoughts of the journey a perfect complement to it all. The beautiful music really hits the emotions of the moment.
As a sailor I really appreciate Matses focus on safety, great film!
celeste thanks for representing Canada so well in this vid
This is a new level of making ski movies I would say 🙏
You all should come to Canada's west coast to explore some seriously epic terrain. Hotsprings, big lines, and so much more.
What a fantastic film 😊
Thank you x
fav ski movie! good job black crows and Nikolai!
Nikolai has now made two of my all time favorite videos on RUclips, “I realized the way to live life” and now this one
I saw it at EOFT and immediately was like: there is so much missing - you guys story telling usually is so much better!
So was very happy to watch it again in full length with proper story telling!
Svalbard is very high on the list for me since a long time, but haven't managed to go there yet. But definitely need to do that as soon as the budget allows...
Maybe a little love story starting here? ;-)
niko big crushing on celeste
Great movie guys ! :) :)
Nikolai, you did it again. Together with the rest, but amazing narration and narrative.
Thank you!
So sick! You guys are killing it! This film felt like so much more than just skiing! When does Wavy 3 come out?!??!?!? Please :)
Thank you for making these. Thank you for sharing the process and the thoughts behind... they are as valuable as the skiing you gang do! You are all wonderful. You all complete each other... much love!
Perfection. This film rules. Huge respect. And Celeste especially rules.
Is it just me, or do some clips look like they were encoded with a bitrate that is waaaaay too low?
Otherwise, amazing film!
yeah something went wrong there. Maybe youtube compression.
@@simon.annies This is not normal youtube compression. This was done in the NLE. Should probably reupload it.
Yeah i thought RUclips was automatically downgrading my res to 360p or something... definitely needs a re-upload. Great story and the visuals would be incredible without distracting blockiness
Yeah, doesnt look like a RUclips issue, as most parts of the video are fine and raising the resolution (which also raises the Bitrate) does not help. Probably an error during the encoding.
That would be all my fault😅 do you have the timecodes?
Niko you've got some guts running across that ice! Wavy 2 delivered, on to Wavy 3!
These documentaries nikolai makes are the best thing ever, I got goosebumps of those views and stories
I’ve only just clicked on this right now, and I already know it’s going to be the BEST ski film of 2022... and probably through 2023… 🙌🏼
Fantastic video! Makes me want to start skiing again AND learning sailing AND moving back to Scandinavia :D
Celeste is great! Niko should plan a visit to Canada for a ski trip with her :)
ive been waiting for this to come out on RUclips and boy it was incredible, Great job Nikolai and everyone in this film loved it!!
I saw the EOFT Edit a few days ago and i think the shortened version really does not do it justice. This is such a great film!
I love the first two songs from Dina Ogon!
Me too! The whole album is good actually. Would recommend
Emotions of her second chance❤
Great movie, exceptional places...I've never been to Svalbard while I had a chance for some sail and ski around Lyngen...and yes this is it. This year we also plan to visit Tromso - there is something in the Arctic - it is addictive. Regards from Poland!
Nicolais last line was hectic. Great film
So stoked on this!! Your tribe that you surround yourself with are gold. I wish everyone who watches this to have a tribe as cool. The story, filming and skiing makes me want to step up my own adventures. Thank you for sharing this!
I would like to give hundreds of thumbs up to this movie! It's really touching smth inner in me
Amazing movie.. Niko never disappoints 😎 Celeste you rock 🤙🏼
Nicolai and team, great to meet you in Ny Alesund last summer and teach you some old sea shanties. I think I heard you sing "bound for South Australia at you reached the top the final couloir! Glad to see you got up the mountain after we left as Sophie was super quiet when we sailed off to find the bears! The snow was great, even if it was a bit of an expedition to find it!

joonas is the GOAT !!
Remember the old days when as a snowboarder I felt obliged to hate on skiers when we’re all just on the same team. Anyone feeling any sense of hate, just watch Nikolai enjoy his passion. Maybe time to find a crew here in Norway to find some good lines with.
Niko you are such a legend you inspire me so much and have helped me rekindle my lost passion for film and video production.
Finally it's been released, waited since the first time you talked about it. The thing I was most excited for in 2022, thanks for your excellent work Nikolai 🤩
Better than cinema, change my mind
I so want to see polarbears myself. Beautiful there. Amazing video like usual
What a beautiful film.
I don’t even climb or ski.
Amazing, well done!
Celeste was so badass this whole video
The classic Svalbard rocks;) Even when the wind has not blown the snow away yet they leave some souvenirs on your skis. But the views, ptarmigans and reindeer on Svalbard are the best :DD
Amazing film, everything about this was wonderful. Just incredible. Can't wait to see where yall go next!
Coming home after work and watching this - you have no idea how excited I am :DDDDDDDD
These vidoes are simply exceptional👍
Still a great little film!
You and your crew consistently put out ski films that match or beat the big production companies. Every single video is a banger!
Love the positivity! Way to support the crew! Those vertical erosion stripes though... woah!
Such an epic adventure with such a beautiful story. Well done!
Very cool film. Moments for a lifetime. 🤙
best skiing video, as always from you, but didn't expect to see a love story developing...
awesome stuff, Nikolai! we're waiting to see more of Celeste and, of course, Wavy 3!!!
such a great film!!!
Incredible film. Always psyched to watch your content. Keep up the solid work 👍👍👍
This made my week
Great Video with really nice message in the end, enjoyed watching it so much. Great work!
Wat a film, a work of art, pure Flow ,the joy of skiing, landscape and meaning
Wauw another masterpiece production. Thanks Niko
Amazing and inspiring. Just a small issue. There are frequent quality drops even on the 4k profile
Really enjoyed that, never been skiing or ever thought about it before, might look into 👍🏻👍🏻
I saw Celeste in line at Whistler last week :)
39:50 That Cody Townsend crossover needs to happen
Beautiful
Niko... you nailed it. Skiing can be the best thing in the world...if just let it be...have fun!
Great production, really makes you appreciate the journey!
AWESOME! That was a banger even without the best snow. Nice work BCrows.
wow what i would give for a trip with Nikolai AWSOME!!!!
Been waiting so long for this one to publish on YT! Great film, as usual from Schirmer. Beautiful film. Kind of becoming a thing him blowing up partners though.

what a movie. I'm currently spending my holidays skiing and now this. Superb work from you guys!
Nikolai what would the world be without brother? Phenomenal story telling as usual!
This was really fun to watch :)
Great movie and production again! Thank you!
Super cool film!
But...Skiing really is a dyeing sport. One can only hope that the sins of yesterday can be repaired in the future.
Soooo good movie! Thks!
Thank you for this
“ I’ve never sailed with such an incomplete crew” 😂😂
Nikolai and Black crows finally with Wavy 2, as my new ski poles from Black Crow arrived today 😎
Amazing as Always Nikolai!
awesome job love black crow skis!
Just find someone to ski with that looks at you like this at 47:00
Beautiful!
@nikolaischirmer great work! Really thankful for your words and images, they are unfathomably powerful and inspiring
Fantastisk!
So enjoyable to watch thank you so much black crows
"There really arent that many good reasons to ski except for how it can be the best thing in the world"
What a beautiful movie
The beat film so far!!
Great video! Some odd video encoding quality issues though that I'm not used to seeing on Nikolais channel.
I was about to write the exact same thing. Really great video! You should dig into these compression/encoding issues so it's perfect
Great stuff and this proves it doesn't have to be epic pow to make a good movie! One correction to the voice over, Santa comes from Finland and not from north pole 😉
Just such good stuff for my ski soul. Appreciate all your efforts. ❤
