You deserve a million subscribers just for this video. I just subscribed
Thank you, my friend! That’s one more closer to getting there!
Agreed, this video was insane
@@globetracker917 Thanks, friend!
So did I!!!!!! The sound of wind and snow is so enjoyable!!! Happy New Year!!
Yuh
Just a group of positive dudes encouraging everyone around them, love it
✌️❤️🤜🤛
And they wear helmets
Great stuff, love it. Cheers from SoCal.
They shoulda done more flips tho, it was a bit boring after a while
Boys supportin boys
"way steeper than it looks" dude it is literally vertical on the camera
Tell that to the hater comments saying otherwise, lol.
@@BoredProgression lol
Yeah it rly is
Yeah, my palms started sweating immediately.
Super narrow, but looks absolutely amazing if you're able to nail the ride. I'll have to hit up Snowboard some time in the future!
I live on the East Coast so something like this would just be a literal deathtrap of ice lol
I know what you mean
I agree with you so much lol
Bro I feel that it’s like 😑
That's the benefit of learning East coast. Then go West, it's so easy. Then head to Japan for pow!
They’d still find a way to blow snow in there too
God, this actually put tears in my eyes, it brought back all the memories of my younger snowboarding days. I had a major accident one day, and just never went back to it after that. I regret it... keep on shreddin. Great video guys
It’s never too late!! I boke my back in 2008 and almost gave it up. But grateful I got back in the saddle! You may leave snowboarding but it won’t leave you.
Hey bro, I broke my leg in three places skiing 4 years ago. After that I was too afraid to ski even though I was a professional skier but i always loved the sport and I didn’t want to quit. So I started snowboarding which change my life now I think about it every day and it’s my favorite sport. I am thinking about re-learning ski in the future but right now I’m going to stick to snowboarding if you broke your back snowboarding and you’re scared just try to learn ski like I did. Best of luck bro.
@@rapha2024 Inspirational story. Brings tears to my eyes to see insane snowboarding and ski stories while in lockdown trying to stay sane. I'll never forget skiing in Canada
@@BoredProgression one of my parents close friend fucked up his spinal cord while skiing and was paralyzed for a while (and is still partly paralyzed in his arm) came back to skiing and is an insane skier.
I feel you, hit a tree 2 years ago and my knee hasnt been right since. Been a few times since but it just doesn't feel the same. At least these kinda videos let me remember the good times taking the chances and just feeling free.
10:14 for thumbnail picture and intro video
😂
Haha thanks so much!
Thank u thats all i cared about!
People like you man ❤️❤️
@@BoredProgression thanks man
"Wayyy steeper than it looks" the video looks steep enough and if a gopro looks steep u know its fkn STEEP!
100%
They need to add gyroscopes to go pros and invent headphones that stimulate the vestibular system so you feel when they're looking down.
That way it would look and feel steep.
@@hypothalapotamus5293 Hahaha. LOL
This is why I love GoPro’s 360 solutions. They really let you see how steep a decline you’re facing.
That dude who hit elevator shaft talked the talk and backed it right up. What a beast haha.
Man knew exactly what he was going to do that day 🐐🐐
The way you structured this vlog, brought so many emotions back to me.
8 years ago my best friend got hit by a car. Every year we would hit the slopes and do stuff just like this. Those were some of the best memories I've ever had.
I couldn't help but cry from how beautiful you orchestrated this vlog. Well done man.
Wow. Thank you for sharing that, man! I'm so sorry for your loss. When I was 8, my best friend was hit by a bus while he was riding a bike. We carry on for them. God bless.
Awwwa Braydon, to bad man for you and your buddy...So sorry...hey Braydon look at the moment you shared with him though...you had heaven in your world on THAT hill and with your bud! Priceless man...priceless...
What an epic day. It’s rare enough to get these kinds of days even when you live in a ski town. To have that big of a group of friends together on a powder day and film that incredible feeling of stoke is really what we call “living the dream”. Thank you.
Nice to see everyday boarders having fun. We aren't all pro doing backflips off cliffs lol. I flashbacked multiple times watching this. Great memories!
Glad you liked it man! That’s what this channel’s all about. Progressing at our own pace.
The music paired with the visuals gives me such a warm feeling in my heart of shredding it in those powdered mountains. Can’t wait to hit the slopes again 😍
This is the kind of video that makes me nostalgic for things I've never even done! As an east coast skier I've never had a powder day like this in my life... but you've really condensed the joy of skiing, and the joy of hanging with your crew, and even a child-like snow day joy into one video. Great shots, great editing, great music choice. Super positive vibes all around, and I'll be watching more of your stuff.
Thanks! From one Dan to another.
Ask yourself.... Why have I only skied the Icy East?
@@chrisdorsey962 My last four trips out west have been marginal at best. I have had super deep snow at Jay Peak, Stowe, The Bush and Killington many times. Then again I ski ever weekend. I love the west and when its good and is great and when its bad it truly suck. I love Alta but one of my worst days took place there a few years ago.
@@mtadams2009 what about Mad River?!
Wow. Your whole video Seems like dream.
Been riding alone most of my snowboarding time.
18 years now started since I was 26.
Wish I had a group like this to share with all the amazing experiences I had.
Nothing beats utah pow. Started at brighton my first runs and lessons. I was there for work and decided to learn to ride.
Been coming back to Utah to brighton and snowbird every year since.
I make the crazy 10 hour drive from LA.
There were times I drove all night just to catch a day after a storm. Just to feel that pow was worth driving all night with no sleep and catching first chair.
Definitely worth it. Thanks for sharing!
The commitment level is legendary. Guess I need to stop complaining about morning canyon traffic!
I'm 61 now and still hitting the slopes, but no more double blacks.. I got mine, but really miss those deep days with no limits. Thanks for reminding me what glory days still feel like!🏂😎
Thank you for the comment and for still shredding! Never stop. 🤙
Just got this recommended and am beyond pleased I clicked on it. Something about the uplifting/euphoric track playing the whole time. Dreamy 😌
I am beyond pleased too! I work just as hard on each and every video I put out. Glad you liked it!
The quietness in the lifts is just too nice
This vid is so unreal, the music, editing and powder just makes me want to ski again
Thanks man. Check out my more recent ones!
@@BoredProgression im 52 and i still ski
Um 52 and i still 🎿
@@tomkenny5864 I read about a 92 yo skier
What I found. Hi 90's
Simply one of the best snowboard vlogs I've watched. Envokes real emotions. Bring back memories of days gone by as well as anticipation of days to come. Well done fellas, well done.
Subscribed.
Thank you! Welcome to the fam!!
This is the first video I've ever seen that makes me feel a sense of longing. Great music choice, and keep up the good work and fun
Thanks! That’s what we’re about!
My favorite part of this whole video is how as soon as that guy mentioned being nervous about dropping into the elevator shaft, everyone was like "hey no pressure man" because there's a lot of pressure with all those people staring at you and if you've been thinking about this one run all season, you know the best time for a run like that is on fresh snow. True friends will say "I know you've got the skills but if you're nervous and you don't want to, that's fine too".
And thanks for wearing helmets. There are too many avoidable head injuries, and I wish pros would regule helmets because so many kids watch the pros and think they don't need a helmet.
The best pow days are the ones where you come home safe so you can hit the slopes the next day👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Oh man, this hit me right in the feels. Love the atmosphere, amazing snow, fun times with friends. Amazing!
Thank you! That’s exactly what the day felt like. Sub for more!
This is absolutely incredible... the cinematography, the skills, the vibes.. WOW. Just wow.
Thanks Emily!
In my younger days days like this were to cherished. It was an easy 20 drive up the canyon fun the home, $20 for the chairs, and we were skiing at the 'Bird. We could see the upper tram towers from the kitchen window. Good going guys!
The camera man's stoke was so high!! Made the video for sure🤘🤘 and that fresh pow....
Thanks, that’s me! Was 💯% genuine. Lol.
@@BoredProgression bro........
@@MrMuypop ??
Brings back a lot of great memories for me. I skied some of those runs with a great friend of mine over 20 years ago, before fat skis!
A group of positive guys having each others backs and cheering each other on, thats what makes this video so special
This brings back memories! We lived in Spanish Fork 1991-92, skied every weekend all winter. This was before I started snowboarding, but I fondly remember the spring day when I took the fast gondola up, skied straight down the double black diamond route and caught the same gondola again, 11 times in a row. Zero waiting in line. :-)
Imagine being the guy that went down the shaft, hearing your friends cheer you on and encouraging you and make you feel like king when they see you after run, good friends are hard to find let alone keep around
Dropping into marshmellows and white clouds...man, that's heaven on earth. Envious big time here. That cliff drop was gnarly AF. Respect.
It was so heavy!!
I'm a big skier, I do not mind snowboarders at all. We are all out there for one purpose and that is to enjoy powder
Amen bro!!
I'm a skier, only because I'd bust my ass on a snowboard, and I simply don't want to learn by falling over and over again when I already know how to shred the mountain on my skis. A lift ticket costs way too much to spend all day picking myself up off the side of the mountain. Haha. Snowboarding wasn't really a thing when I learned how to ski, but it certainly looks fun.
I've gone down this. You feel so good after.
It’s Euphoric! Watch “Taking the Gnarliest Drop-in Further” for my reaction hitting it.
Plz tell me you have a video for proof, right?
@@thethreebros4210 nope. I don’t wear a cam
i went down it and felt good after too, from all the pain meds in the hospital
@@jakeheicklen3928 THATs sUS
"Hit the high-points" while descending. By far, Tom's one-liner and following narrative is the single best piece of advice I have received on skiing rough snow, crud, or changing conditions. I've spoken to countless instructors from several resorts and I do receive good advice, but at the expense of a 45-min conversation. I'm freakin sold! Good job, Tom!
🤷♂️ Who’s Tom? Lol.
Best instructor ever, now next time I’m up at the bird I expect you to help me down this beast. Also dude this is one of the best videos I’ve seen in a long time, between the shear joy y’all have during these runs and the amazing filmography it was simply amazing to watch. I cannot wait to strap back into a board and be able to do these runs one day
Sir_W _Thatcher0 Haha! Thanks bro! I appreciate that. Was a blast riding with you! Hope to see you soon!
Just seeing this video and it makes me want to pack everything up and move to the mountains with some of the homies. Looks like the most fun time ever!
When we going bruh
the music in the back makes this video so inspirational
Thanks my friend!
@@BoredProgression what is this epic music?
I'm so happy to have these memories! So many incredible moments already! Times like these will stay with me forever. I'm Incredibly grateful to live this life and to be able to help share these moments with all of you! Hopefully I heal really fast so we can get right back at it.
Yeeew! Yeah buddy. Rest up. There's plenty of time. MVP
Love this - - perfectly captures the energy of a powder day with your mates!
What a great recap of an epic day. You're the man, Dan! Can't wait to shred again!!!!
Yeeeew! Thanks bud. I can't wait either! You killed it.
Dawggggg this day was a dream. Always love coming back and watching this!
Much love for having me. Gotta link again
100% my guy! ❤️
Looks like a beautiful day out there man, love to see it💪🏼
FrankWallFitness So beautiful. Glad to share it!
This edit is everything. So friggin awesome!
Thanks brother!
So nice the way they support each other! Magical day with super positive vibe :)
One of the most awesome videos of people being beautiful people connected to the earth. Peace out brother.
Love it!! Thanks bro!
Makes me miss snowboarding a lot! Crazy how u can’t have it all..,moved away living the dream but then no more snow and fun stuff like this.
Everybody’s dream is different! This one’s mine.
Same here. I packed up and moved back out west where I belong. Best move I've ever made! Foot of pow tomorrow AM at Alpental. Go live your dream!!!
i hear ya man. i moved to North Carolina for 8 years. now i'm in Pennsylvania and still not so good at all. i plan to move to Utah or similar in 2022 if we are still alive then.
Can always visit
AAAHHHH I can't wait to ski, haven't been able to ski in almost 2 years because of covid and I miss it so much, planning to go in February so really excited for this feeling
Long time ago I stayed at Cliff Lodge for 5 days during a major dump. This brought back great memories. I remember those runs up in The Cirque. Epic terrian and snow fall.
Nothing better!
Nothing like listening to this amazing music over this amazing footage of such amazing beings on a calm cloudy day.
Planning on going for the first week of February for the first time and after watching this I cannot wait 😃
Stoked for you bud!! 🤙 Have a great time!
Never been snowboarding, but I got emotional watching this. You guys looked like y’all were having the time of your lives. Makes me want to go try it!
It literally changes lives. Crazy how sliding down snow can do that.
You have to try it! I started this year and I was worried I wouldn’t improve and just give up but I couldn’t have been more wrong. I immediately started to pick it up and have gone maybe a total of 10 times and already can turn from toe toe heel and glide pretty fast. It’s exhilarating
Greatest video I've seen. So many sick lines and the pow looks amazing. Video came out 11 months ago and you are still responding to comments. Earned my sub 10000%
👏👏👏 Thank you! Welcome to the fam!
God that fresh powder is beautiful. What a morning.
In my thirties, these are the days I miss most. Out riding with a crew, sucking energy off each other and everyone going for it. Awesome video man
Thanks, dude! I’m 38 tho! Get back out there!!
I used to ski purgatory. There was a beautiful tall woman with absolutely perfect posture. She must have been a model in her younger years. She was 80 and I thought that's how I want to be when I'm 80.
its been 20 years since I boarded at Snowbird - thanks for the memories! Im enjoying the surf in San Diego
Thank you! 🤙
Once in a lifetime powder. So beautiful
Seeing this video gave me goosebumps. The music, and flow of the video is the exact reason I fell in love with boarding so many years ago. Good upload my man 🤙🤙
Thank you bro!! Just a typical upload for me but I try to make each one better than the last one. 🙏 Much appreciated!!
This is such an awesome video it seemed so nostalgic and fun. I’ve 4 days till I get to snowboard for the first time and this just made me even more stoked about it
Thanks bro! Have fun! It’s the best!! 🤙
Best snow vlog watched all year, love the positive energy
Thank you dude! Lots more just like this one. Hit that sub!
This is an example of why snowboarding is so beautiful and amazing, just a group of people making amazing memories, great video
Thanks!
Great B roll. Great execution while filming the follow shots. The snow blinding your shots gives a great action effect. Overall an awesome video. Well deserving of more views. Good job.
Thanks Todd! 🙌 Just one of many you’ll see here on the channel.
Good times! Great video guys!
Rode those chutes a lot back in the day. Lots of friends worked the Bird over the year so buddy passes were abundant. Really fun, but always wanted to be first down cause 2nd or 3rd you always got the exposed rocks. Always a good time. Good vid, brings back memories.
For sure!! After we hit it, it was done till the next storm. 💯
The whole video is absolutely amazing but it’s the music when y’all are sharing some of the best moments together just shredding that makes the video
Been a while since I've watched an entire ski/snowboard video. Cool, positive crew. Thanks for bringing us along.
Thank you! Got tons more even better than this, to be honest. Thank you for checking this one out.
Epic day! Arthritis has taken snowboarding away from me but I can re-live it watching you guys! Thanks!!!
Any time man! I’ll keep strapping in as long as I can.
Can still ski maybe? I had to give up snowboarding but skiing still works, for now
Your videos are super high quality for not even 10.000 subscribers keep up the incredible work man the subs will come!!!!
Thank you Bane! Appreciate it!
Great positivity within the group. Glad to see support i.e. "You don't have to do it, no pressure man" is genuine and show they are here for the fun!
💯
I grew up boarding in Tahoe. Now I'm old and live in the midwest. I haven't been boarding in over 15 years. This video brought back memories and emotions. Thank-you.
Don’t know how “old” that means but was just listening to a podcast with Eddie Wall where he talks about his Dad who still shreds in his 70s. I’m about to hit 40. Hope you can get back out there!
yo dog, i went back and watched your journey.im moving to SLC this winter.. taking the big jump to chase my love of snowboarding, rock climbing, and mountain biking. You've not been uploading as much. i know its been a crazy year, but keep grinding man. keep the dream alive.
Just caught your Vid! Epic!!! Ari gets the IRONMAN MVP! Footy was on point as well! But Most of All I appreciate the Stoke and the Love I felt while watching this! You and Your KREW are both Blessed and a Blessing!
🙏🏿✌🏿
Yeeew!! Thanks bro! Amazing words! God bless you too. Thanks for watching. You should check out Taking Gnarliest Drop-in Further! Ari goes even bigger and I hit Elevator. 🙌 So stoked this elevated you!!
Went there w fam back in the 90's wow great memories! TY all for all your Hard Work! Beautiful video TY so much!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Lots more content like it here on Bored Progression.
This is so sick. First snowboarding video ever that made me shed a tear, I think it's the music. Picked up my Snowbird season pass yesterday!!!!
Nick m Heck yeah dude! Thanks for watching man. Make sure you’re subbed so you don’t miss a minute of the upcoming season. It’s gonna be epic. See you at the bird!
Snowbird always delivers! It’s such a magical place. Great video. I’m stuck here in Ohio. You made me feel like I was there. I’ve got some great memories there! Thanks!
deenobrown1 Thanks dude! It really is magical. Thanks for watching!
PNS ?
i wouldnt say always. sometimes its horrible and unridable
been watching you since the start of last season! you are so under rated! keep it up man.
Thanks bro!! We’re just getting warmed up!
Ahhh, I am ready for the season to start! Really enjoyed watching this. Thank you
Thank you!
You guys are totally nuts and having waay too much fun, ha.
Man I can't wait for snowboarding season to start and this video really made me crave it even more, amazing vid I hope to be able to drop into places like this one day!
You got it!
Love the edit. Love the way you guys are no pressure having an f’ing blast. Just stoked on the day. First half had some awesome first tracks, lots of good trees. I can tell you know your mountain. Been a few years for me, but I moved back near the mountains (Spokane) and I’m getting back in shape. Got a Rome Blur on the way so I can charge and slash and explore. Lots of little spots around here and I’m 2 hours from a Canadian resort. Just love watching this, inspiring.
Thanks dude. Stoked for you!!
12 days till Fernie Opens!!!
@@c-noclark8153 Wow really...OMG the big verticals...I'm back East in Ontario (Searchmont Valley Ski Resort) and my hill will be open soon, I know it's not MOUNTAINS but it delivers some really good trees and FAST runs! I love speed and glide a lot!
Spent many days at the bird, and this video sums it up perfect. Blower pow, great friends, perfect day! Thank you for sharing 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for watching! I post videos every week like this one from the bird and other spots around the Wasatch.
Great video guys - what a perfect day to be out there - really missing it this year
This is heaven on earth
Facts. Just wait till the next storm day.
Shore is
Sweet video bro something so therapeutic about the scenery and calming music keep shredding
Wade Hartley Thanks man! It’s how I feel when I ride I guess, haha.
Binging your videos to get stoked for the upcoming season. Cant wait to shred!
This video was so much fun! I feel like all these people have great big hearts! I love it!
Thank you!! 💙 🙏I love making content for people who appreciate it.
Shout out to fellow Utah RUclipsrs! Love the board footage! Keep it up
🙌🙌🙌 heck yeah. Thanks dude!! Lots more to come!
Wow man, you have some of the best music that I've heard in a snow vlog in a LONG time. Nice one!
Thank you! You’ll probably like all my vlogs then, lol. I never repeat a track.
Love you guys! Riding at 61. Stay as cool as you all are.
Awesome! Thanks man! Will do
Props to all involved.
Thank you for this . This showed up in my recommendations .This video gives me peace and lets me know that tomorrow is a better day. I want so much to learn how to Snowboard.Not thé Elevator though 😍
Wow! You’re very welcome! The sun ☀️ will shine tomorrow! God bless! 🙏
Nice intro!!! clicked for the drop, stayed for the edit.
Awesome! That was my goal! Thanks for watching! 🙌
Brings back some great memories, cheers guys
Wow those conditions were amazing, Great video!
Wow the crowd reaction from the drop into Elevator Shaft was awesome :)
🙌🤘
What an awesome session! I'm going to Lapland at the end of the month with a friend to test the boards and skies prototype he made himself...
Awesome!! That sounds fun. I'd be a little scared to try one tho, haha.
Beautiful job making this video
Sitting in my car smoking a bowl getting amped for lifts to open watching your epic video. The music was fitting with its floaty chill vib. Thank you!
😂 Thank YOU bro!!
Best camera man!!!
First tracks! Loves the edit and music. Great Job! Great fun!
Thank you!! Hit the sub button for tons more like this one! 🙌
Just straight lined elevator for the first time myself last week and it is no joke. Props to him for doing it on a board! Great vlog per usual! Keep it up!
Yewww! Thank you bro! This guy gets it. 👍 Hahaha. I did it the following week. Check out the next vid if you didn't already.
Watching this made me SO happy- Regular riders, floating through the powder with joy on your face, nothing better.
