  • Jacob's brother, 2-time Olympic Slopestyle skier Oscar Wester takes a weekend off his busy freestyle schedule to visit Jacob in Chamonix. Among 50° north faces, chaotic glaciers and serious no-fall zones, Oscar gets a whole new perspective on skiing in the mountains! After getting his feet wet on an deep first day on top of the 3842 meter (12 600 ft) Aiguille du Midi, Oscar comes back the day after ready for some big mountain charging, and it turns out he's a natural!

    Crazy. In control. They make it look easy. I like skiing steeps (40 to 50 degree slopes), but these are REALLY steep and really long.

    RUclips just recommended me this video and I am amazed! Not only great action (one of my bucketlist descents) but also great editing! I subscribed, liked and am hoping for more!
    PS: I just uploaded my own edit of spring skiing but the mountains in Madrid aren’t as awesome as Cham... still, the feeling behind it is the same :)

    Wow, great video. I was in Chamonix a long time ago and didn't get to do the Aiguille du Midi. Wish I did now. I did however have a kick ass time.

    Great productions - for us lesser mortals that also surf and ski you set the bar extremely high. Awesome images from drone and go-pro action to match. We enjoy warm(ish) water barrels in the Cape and not-so-steep and not-so-deep in the Italian alps, but you add a totally different dimension in Iceland and Chamonix!

    • @JacobWesterSki
      @JacobWesterSki  6 лет назад +5

      that was the way down from the glacier back to the valley, it's known as the "James Bond track"! Pretty fun if you have any legs left after skiing 20 kilometers of off-piste!

    very cool stuff. is aiguille du midi easily accessible with a lift?

    • @JacobWesterSki
      @JacobWesterSki  5 лет назад

      Thanks! It is very easily accessible (the cablecar puts your right at the top at 3700 meters), but the skiing itself is entirely on your own (no piste maps, no secured trails, no warning signs for crevasses or closed slopes because of avalanche danger etc). If you have a good guide, or have done your homework beforehand, it's an unforgettable experience!

  • @TheNinjainPijama
    @TheNinjainPijama 5 лет назад

    Hey Jacob! Awesome video as always! You should consider adding a small section of all the necessary precautions that you take before heading out to the mountain, would give us a nice complete experience of what goes on in your mind before dropping in :) Also, do you usually head out there with a guide? or do you ride solo?

    • @TheNinjainPijama
      @TheNinjainPijama 5 лет назад

      by that i mean checking avy conditions and what not. I am amazed how stable the snow is on such steep terrain

    when did they put guard rails on the Midi arete? they weren't there in the early 2000s
    I guess there must have been to many people taking a tumble -

    • @JacobWesterSki
      @JacobWesterSki  4 года назад +1

      I have been there since 2015 and theyre always up from around january and on. Would be so sick if they didnt have them haha, would clear up a lot of ppl who have no business up there!

    I never wanted to ski anyplace where falling = death.

    • @JacobWesterSki
      @JacobWesterSki  4 года назад

      Then you definitely shouldnt. I quite enjoy that aspect of it, it requires an almost meditative state of focus 🧝‍♂️

    Are Euro skiers just born skiing? Every Europe’s skier I know sees their skis or snowboard as an extra limb.

    So glad I don't live in Europe where one walks in the footsteps of many thousands and pretends to be a pioneer.
    Like claiming to be badass for sitting on a ride at Disneyland.

    • @JacobWesterSki
      @JacobWesterSki  4 года назад +1

      Of all possible reasons, that's why you are glad you don't live in Europe? Different strokes, etc 🤷‍♂️
