@@CoreyGary yeah the replies are funny for now I rewatch every time I get on I’ve gotten one in a year split and I rewatched the guy skiing and everytime I realise how much I’ve progressed at skiing doing lines similar a little steeper etc
This gets me so stoked to ski at Mammoth. We've been love with the Sierra since we hiked the JMT on our honeymoon in 2020. P.S. This is the best music I've heard in a ski video.
I'd ski anything in Vermont the front four at Stowe, Devil's fiddle at Killington ect ect Mammoth is on my bucket list but at age 66 this shit is beginning to kick my ass.
Skied this with my two sons on a big powder day. One of my sons wiped out about 3/4 of the way down and lost a ski. I don't just mean it came off (which it did) I mean we totally lost it. The three of us rooted around in the powder for 45 minutes and never found it. Eventually we gave up and he skied the rest of the way down on one ski.
Just got back from mammoth and it's seriously no joke, I'm a decent boarder but I had to heel edge down cornice, I had sweaty palms looking at paranoid flats..
I have done this run many times growing up in California in the 80s on my super long Rossi 215cm( back then Skis were slim and long ). I was young and fearless then. Now..... I will stick with the nice blues and groomed blacks thank you. LOL
I still don't understand why these runs are so scary when you're at the top (both on videos and in real life), but after a few turns in you're not scared anymore lol. Maybe cause the top part is always the steepest and has most cliffs? Or because you get a rhythm and confidence going?
The first 10 - 20 feet of these runs are steeper than what follows below. I set my line to get past the entry so I can control my speed starting the decent.
Harder. You would have to be fucking wicked to take a snowboard on those flats. Ski are much more nimble and shift your weight around as well as neck down tighter.
yes way steeper in person. on skis ur almost laying on the ground when u stop and dig ur edges in. I fell down it once and just tumbled the whole way down. it also depends on ur ability snowboarding, if ur very advanced then yes, its rideable
@@waltysalamander yeah kiwi flats is the hardest named run. I mean people can go launch off suicidal cliffs and make lines out of nothing with huge double or triple drops but...
Didn't even stop and take a look down for Phillips lots steeper back in the day we'd keep going and be a star and ski star shoot or kiwi flat I know these videos take a lot of the steepness look out of it but the top of me looks terrible snow fences it was all cornices back in the day
that drop is hella scary i would not of droped there but then again im only twelve b=maybe someday i will be as goo as you i always drop in the \middle

This guy was choosing the most difficult lines and made look so easy. If I did those same lines I would be so stressed.
Def not hardest lines there were way gnarlier hits he could take cool run tho
This is easy
@@mrepix8287 yeah I mean that was a year ago I’ve done harder now
Those were not the hardest lines. He skipped multiple openings in the cornice and could’ve done a backflip off a snow filled rock. Still cool though.
@@CoreyGary yeah the replies are funny for now I rewatch every time I get on I’ve gotten one in a year split and I rewatched the guy skiing and everytime I realise how much I’ve progressed at skiing doing lines similar a little steeper etc
dude awesome line. No idea that crack existed, very bad ass. Drop near Phillipe's was pretty cool too
Made that look so easy

I'm no beginner, but you are a braver man than me.
Whoaaaa that line looks SICK 🔥🔥 nice work bud 👍
Amazing skiing! The music fits perfectly
Wow I can see why it is called “Paranoid Flats!” Sick drop!
Not as flat as it looks from a POV. Top is a 45 degree enterence and middle section runs about 38 degrees and runs out into 34 degrees.
@@angusmcdugal1 top seems to be more like 50-52. I’ve done 40-45 degree pitch runs and this is definitely steeper.
a snowboarders nightmare

Like the line and may be the first time ever that clarinet music has come along for the ride!
That looks so fun and safe enough. Thanks
Paranoid flats is fun I did that this year, there were more rocks covered up
This looks so epic im gonna do this first thing come the winter
nice! ima be at mammoth this week. hope I can get some sick footage like you! respeck.
That was awesome!!!
This is amazing
I've skied it and I've slid it. I miss Mammoth windpack.
Mammoth in the 80's was amazing.
And I have skied with ET!
I haven’t skied Mammoth since the 80’s. What great memories...
Fantastic run!
I guess Paranoid comes from the oops, I'm going over the edge accidentally feeling. Always wondered what it looked like.

You haven't ridden Mammoth until you've skied ET's crack with ET.
Dope. Beat is sick too
that crack is so dope!!!
what a line! 😲
Shit never knew there's a line like that. I really want to go back to Mammoth now
You made it look so easy how
W bro i love paranoids
Unreal. Some serious nuts right there.
Hehe that what a cool lil jump at the end.
Well skied👏👏👏
what song is this?
awesome
Epic🔥🔥🔥
bad ass run ! i will try in 2 or 3 more seasons 🤣😂
Nice jaun dude
Nice Line!
Was this person injured on the jump? Did he plan this jump? Insane
Is it hard to ski with those giant rhinoceros balls you're packing? :)
Woww good luck❤❤❤😊😊
ET's crack. AKA the meniscus shredder
This run is twice as steep in person
Next winter I plan on going to mammoth, and the first thing that I plan to do is take paranoid flats
hell yeah dude. how do you get to that spot?
Austin Long love 23 so just keep going right off of the lift?
I got up there today and was like nope and took monument down
Dope

mix of both
The good ol squirrel catch!

@@gogglebro9421 Yeah that's pretty much it
Both I’d say
ETs crack is completely buried this season!
Can someone explain where he lands at 1:16? I’d love to figure out this line.
He is skiing the spine of Philipe's into Paranoid P4. mickwest.com/mammoth/mammoth-mountain-trail-map-winter600-cropped.jpg
Hatsoff
Is this harder or easier on a snowboard ?
Harder. You would have to be fucking wicked to take a snowboard on those flats. Ski are much more nimble and shift your weight around as well as neck down tighter.
Yeah, I'd never take a snowboard on those narrow little flats at the peak. I'd walk it out, which admittedly would be lame.
literally just did this on a board today. I had to hop around my edges during the top part it was so steep
So is that rideable on a snowboard, also is it steeper in person
yes way steeper in person. on skis ur almost laying on the ground when u stop and dig ur edges in. I fell down it once and just tumbled the whole way down. it also depends on ur ability snowboarding, if ur very advanced then yes, its rideable
i would not recommend boarding it tho, definitely a risk i personally would not take
@@codyellsworth5053 thank you
I haven't got the nerve to do even the next slope over
Yessir
Lapped gravy and climax today with 105s which was a bit overkill but still smooth sailing
Ima try this tomorrow on 90s
I haven't skied in about 10 years. I used to ski on 195s. So are skies different now?. I mean 105s. 90s
@@daviddillemuth7268 I believe A. Is talking about underfoot in mm while you're talking about length in cm.
@sketchyAnalogies ok I gotcha. What is underfoot?
Oh width maybe.
@@daviddillemuth7268 yeah its width
I fell off this when it was pure ice, all the way to the lodge. Well not quite.
Fucking insane bro!
Dude!!!
Holy shit
So fuckin sick.
Man..that was ridiculous.
lightwork done that so many times
yeeewww
Lol i thought u were gonna do phillipes
I thought so too, but helmet can footage is so disorienting, I couldn't really tell where he was
Skiing into P4. mickwest.com/mammoth/mammoth-mountain-trail-map-winter600-cropped.jpg@@proverbalizer
Would this be the hardest runs on mammoth?
Recognize Real almost
Sam Dallas not really
I’ve never done it but I’ve heard a lot of people say that kiwi flats is the hardest
@@waltysalamander yeah kiwi flats is the hardest named run. I mean people can go launch off suicidal cliffs and make lines out of nothing with huge double or triple drops but...
0:22 I thought you were gonna jump off 0-0
yew!
Didn't even stop and take a look down for Phillips lots steeper back in the day we'd keep going and be a star and ski star shoot or kiwi flat I know these videos take a lot of the steepness look out of it but the top of me looks terrible snow fences it was all cornices back in the day
Top of chair 23 is just as steep... it's just a little nerve-racking getting over there... try not to look over the sides of the cliff 🤠
Yes it is. The longer you stay up there looking down, the more your nerves get shot. Just take a deep breath, trust your skills, and go!
Hacking it big time, good line though,
Was that an easier line?
Tophat
Oh hell no!
that drop is hella scary i would not of droped there but then again im only twelve b=maybe someday i will be as goo as you i always drop in the \middle
I did that one bruh
No thanks XD
GoPro distortion as usual. No realistic sense of how steep it is or how fast you're going.
Easy
Im 12 and can go down diamonds that are mogul infested, snowboarder btw. Do you think I can go down that?
Austin Long Thank you! I have a mountain collective pass and Im going there during spring break. I hope its gonna be awesome
My gosh...that scary just to watch! 🫣
