- I love this area! First time on Kiwi. Was not pretty skiing but I made it down. Hoping to get better snow and send Kiwi from the top before too long!
Language warning: I hit a shark fin in a part of P4 that is unskiable in the last few seasons (I suppose that is not too surprising) and was not happy. Also, finally have enough snow to ski Kiwi! It wasn't fresh enough to send from the top this time, but I hope to get the chance before too long. This time I took it slow (and not very pretty). Will have a couple more Mammoth videos out within the next few days Nothing too crazy, but the coverage is insane! Conditions were mostly soft but a bit variable.
wow
Wow! It's so filled in!
That save on P4 was insane! I can't wait to see you do Kiwi, that'll make one hell of a video!
Thanks! Fingers crossed for more snow and a chance to go take advantage of it!
We skied this the same day! You must have been shortly after me. The pole you pass at 0:46 I found on the slope and we stuck it there for the owner to come get. What a coincidence. Was amazing conditions. Great skiing!
No way, that is hilarious!
Sick sends! Congrats on Kiwi, has been on your eyes for years now.
Thanks! Yes most definitely, now just gotta hit it from the top!
Really nice video I'm going to subscribe nice sorting out the mess 2 min in :D
Thanks!
This is Main Chute in the Palisades at Squaw Valley. It isn’t that technical or difficult, but it does have serious pucker factor for first timers. If you want to see something actually scary, a short walk to the right will let you look down The Chimney. Outside of huge snow years, The Chimney is about as a big a pucker factor as you’re likely to ever experience. My girlfriend’s ring is made from the lump of coal I stuck up my ass before The Chimney’s pucker factor turned it into a diamond. In any case, this isn’t Corbett’s Coulior as someone incorrectly posted, and it is right on the middle of some excellent lines that are just a short walk from the Siberia chair at Squaw.
The cliff ban in Philippes is gone already?? Mammoth is looking fat, need to head down there!
Yep! The snowpack is nuts; shaping up to be a season to remember!
@@DaleySpam I was there at the beginning of Jan and will try and get out in a couple of months. The snow this year is insane.
You need a new right pole, it is bent near the bottom and that means that it is structurally compromised. Nice job on your skiing, enjoying your vids
Thanks, and yeah, I know, I will get on that soon.
You seem to ski like a normal skier on this video, where as when you sent Kiwi from the top you became a killing machine...what had you eaten/taken before you did Kiwi? I want some🤔
Crack!
No, actually though even though it may not look like it, that smooth, soft April corn snow is much better for high speed straigtlining than this thin layer of softer snow. Plus it was bumpier. Have to take it slower on days like this (even though it was still very good conditions overall)
When you were on lower Kiwi for the test run, a voice started talking to you and it can be heard on 'mauro Piccotto @ sensation black 2002' 0.00 to 1.04 mins. Instead of "this 'night' holds for each and every one of us the very meaning of our lives", it said to you, "this 'line' holds for each and everyone of us the very meaning of our lives"
I skied paranoid flats today but Phelepis and Kiwi is way more sketchy
I just went up there last Tuesday and I took P3 down to the bottom of Kiwi Flats and there was way less snow than in this video somehow. (on Kiwi Flats)
Interesting, I will be curious to see what it looks like later this season. Maybe the wind has blown a lot of snow off
Sick! So cool that you hit Kiwi even if it wasn’t skiable from the very top. How hard do you think it is from the top compared to some of the Palisades runs you’ve done?
Kiwi is sketchier because it is longer and has much higher consequences of failure. It is not as steep as some of the steepest Palisades lines though, and probably less technically difficult, at least from the side traverse entrance that I did in this video. The drop in from the top would be (will be, hopefully!) just about as gnarly as anything I have ever done though.
@@DaleySpam awesome
@@skiingislife98 100% not Philippe’s
You did a great job of skiing some hard terrain really well, this was a fun watch. I have similar content on my channel from palisades, I'd love it if you checked it out.
Thank you, and will do, love that place!
Something happened confidence wise, in the second part? Maybe snow pack wasn't instilling trust...I feel you were just straight lining way more terrifying stuff previously.
Yeah, it was really to do with conditions. The snow was mostly soft in the chute but it was pretty treacherous solid chop below, so I did not want to exit with too much speed. Also there is a pretty big cliff to ski around near the bottom, so I did not want to risk losing control. But yeah, I did lack confidence, this was my first time skiing Kiwi so I took it slow. Hope to hit it again soon with more confidence!
@@DaleySpam actually, yes, first time skiing this kind of terrain... didn't take that in consideration. I imagine almost everyone will take it with caution first time around.
