- My OTHER big bucket list run (along with Chimney). Nice spring conditions and a very flat, smooth runout gave me the chance to finally ski this. Next time I will wait for powder though. This makes the only major new lines I really want to ski at Mammoth some of the Top of the World chutes, but the snow was more variable in that area and I did not fully trust the runout.

That is so sick!!! I’ve never seen someone send it that hard in such bad conditions!
Thanks! Yeah powder is certainly ideal but at least this spring corn is a lot better than mid-winter ice
@@DaleySpam True
YOU LEGEND, THERE'S NO FREAKING WAY! HUGE CONGRATS!!!
Thank you!!!
Congrats! Knew you wouldn’t let this be unskied on the perfect season.
Thanks! Yeah, had to do it!
Nice run! Heck of a way to send it!
Thanks!
dude holy shit that was crazy
Ha thanks!
0:05 Just a little bit more left, and it would have been over. But you avoided it, so well done!
Thanks! Yeah, I had to lift my left ski up to avoid scraping over those rocks
Yoo!!! That's so gnarly dude. And conditions looked FIRM. Sick send my man!
Thank you! The snow was actually pretty nice, I would have much preferred powder but this was pretty good spring corn
@Daley Spam oh sick! The middle where the side step tracks are looked solid. Thanks for showing all of the best parts if Mammoth. I need to get out there one of these days. Are these type of runs fairly lappable?
@@jacobovermyer Oh yeah, the middle was the hardest part. Kiwi is not very lappable (takes two lifts, though one time is probably more than enough for a day lol), nor is Philippe's, but pretty much all the rest of the Chair 23 terrain is, and it is all really fun!
@@DaleySpam I thought just chair 23?
@@proverbalizer just 23 to get there but you can’t get back to 23 from the bottom (unless you are able to go slowly down and traverse really far right after you exit)
Holy shiznit that was rowdy!
It’s so much steeper than the video looks. Congrats!
Thank you! Yeah this is a real steep one
haha thats awesome. Life is a thrill.
I bet that puckered the sphincter! Nice job!
Thanks! Good way of putting it lol
great job man- congrats!!!!
Thank you!!
Man that looks sketchy, nice job!
Thanks!
Hell yeah dude!! So sick looks so fast
Thanks! Yeah the bowl underneath was way smoother than usual so you could get so much speed!
Wow, and not even as filled in as I would've expected this year. I guess spring has sprung. But I saw one video of once is enough looking unrecognizably fat
Yeah, some stuff is starting to melt a bit, also I suppose Kiwi probably doesn’t fill in as much as most of the mountain
HOLY SHIT!
Mad Speedy
Holy shit bro. Bucket list completions are the best. What other runs do you have on that list? (at any resort)
I'd say the top ones for mountains that I know fairly well are Chimney Sweep and Center Line, some more Fingers lines, and some China Wall lines at Squaw, more Top of the World lines at Mammoth, and the Baldy Chutes at Alta. Besides that just some of the classics like Corbet's at Jackson Hole, Senior's at Telluride, and Big Couloir (along with a lot of the rest of the Lone Peak terrain) at Big Sky. Also basically everything off the ridgeline at Bridger Bowl. Hopefully I can travel to some new resorts next season!
Every time I think that you can't outdo your last send, you outdo your last send. I am afraid of the rocks...but I think the rocks are afraid of YOU. Have you ever scratched your base or marred an edge? Asking for a friend. Great channel!!! Cheers!
Ha thanks! Yeah I have gotten plenty of base and edge scratches, but those tend to be when I am billy-goating in sketchy areas as opposed to letting it rip.
Wow! That is really impressive! You must be very comfortable with speed! If you have used tracking apps, what is your top speed? I watched this at half speed, because the actual run only takes 10 seconds! What other run on the mountain can be done in 10 seconds?
Thanks! This day I tracked 61 mph, though I am not 100% sure if it was on this actual run. I think the best runs for going super fast are the upper mountain groomers (Cornice Bowl and Scotty’s) but only if you are able to ski them when there aren’t a lot if other people around
Gnarly
Nicely done!
I feel compelled to link to an all-time classic of the genre: ruclips.net/video/JtzhWnii-A8/видео.html (it says Star Chute, but it's actually Kiwi. The Starr Chutes are lower on the skier's left, accessed via White Bark or by climbing from Chair 12)
Thank you! Man that brought back memories, I remember watching that video like 10 years ago thinking there is no way I would ever ski it in a million years! A classic for sure.
Good stuff! What length are you running on those E104s?
Actually they are the 100s. 179cm but I am planning on getting longer skis next season
@@DaleySpam damn shorter than I expected! Makes those runouts more impressive!
How tall are you?
@@Pokekevin 6’2”. Yeah, my skis are definitely shorter than ideal at this point, I have had them for a few years (since I was a much less aggressive skier)
How's Phillipes look? Filled in still or cliffed out again? Debating on whether to do it again...
Still totally filled in, not even a hint of rocks at the base yet! Just be sure to wait until it softens up a bit, it is angled away from the morning sun and has lots of big moguls.
@@DaleySpam Great to here. I'm finding out as I progress, that I ski Steeps. Anything else I suck at. Trying to work on high speed skiing but I again chickened out of an easy looking tube today at Squaw. Gonna shredd Phillipes for sure.
I also noticed these videos are recent, planning on skiing Mammoth Friday? Or Squaw Saturday? Perhaps we can take a few Laps together...
@@slck9404 Oh man I would love to, but sadly I am back at school now and will not be able to make it up this weekend. Hope you have fun though, and we definitely gotta ski together at some point!
@@DaleySpam Totally! Good luck with school.
