Oh yeah, this is definitely some of the most technical and big mountain type terrain out there and to ski it, you need more skills then most have and to do it with style, far more than I ever dream of! Definitely gnarly slopes.
You do have a valid point. I did watch the whole thing but I guess what turned me off was I usually think of BC skiing as hiking in and earning your turns as opposed to taking a heli. With that said, I would love to ski this, as long as I didn't crap myself in fear skiing those chutes and drops. In no way am I trying to lessen what these guys do- call me pedantic but I don't think the term BC quite works for this.
I have the up most respect for these guys and RedBull for furthering the sport of skiing, but as much as I want to love this, and as much as I do, I have one serious issue, "This is NOT Back country skiing!" All these skiers are very talented across numerous disciplines, but I believe I speak on many skiers behalf's when I say the BC skiing involves earning your turns, skiing natural features and being prepared for anything that could happen. Those kickers look scary, but they aren't BC!
You can ski here if you want. But they won't let you on the chairlift without a beacon, probe, and shovel. If you pick it right and have $300 to spend you can get two drops on the Heli. I would watch the weather in April. Epic
I guess we can disagree on this one. I see what you mean, but maybe just from where I have grown up Teleing, I have always thought of BC as using human power to get up. But let me reiterate I am a huge fan of the skills these guys have and aspire to have such versatile skills.
i agree, the part with jumps shouldn't be called "backcountry", but the big mountain portion most definitely is... did you even watch the whole video? or just the first 30 seconds
ok, i understand where you are coming from saying you having to earn your turns for it to be real BC skiing, but this is close enough IMO, considering how gnarly it is, and the fact it isn't really lift accessed
Honestly I hate the whole skiers vs. snowboarder thing, I prefer skiing but snowboarding to me looks pretty damn cool too. As long as your not out of control or posing a danger to someone I don't care how you get to the bottom of the run, you could take a scooter for all I care.
How on earth do they manage to pack a show with so much potential action, and so many athletes with so much annoying boring filler? This is brutal redbull...
backcountry skiing = skiing in the backcountry, how you get to the top and what you do on the way down doesn't change anything. if they called this an alpine touring contest then you'd have an argument. backcountry |ˈbakˌkəntrē| noun ( the backcountry) sparsely inhabited rural areas; wilderness
Dashes run was sick.I have a snowboard but this has inspired me to give skiing a go this year.
This is a great series.
thanks for putting up the whole thing
the sickest edit ive ever seen in Red Bull short edits 0:36 - 1:55 ♥
That would be too expensive. I like the fact that its on RUclips. It makes it much more accessible :)
LEGENDARY I love those extreme technical lines🏔💯

In my experience, Soloman Shoguns are great for all mountain, from powder to moguls to groomers, they ride really nicely.
not enough close footagebut still cool
they have their own app, which has sports translations
8:20- 9:50 was beautiful!
Using a helicopter to record a helicopter? That's cool

RED BULL : Can you please post the songs you are using? or write it in the end of the movie
Honestly I hate the whole skiers vs. snowboarder thing, I prefer skiing but snowboarding to me looks pretty damn cool too. As long as your not out of control or posing a danger to someone I don't care how you get to the bottom of the run, you could take a scooter for all I care.
why does red bull not have its own tv channel???
the original is called sail but that is a remix
Some one that has the full playlist >>??
how do you end up with four adds in one video?
I know right!!! :O
How on earth do they manage to pack a show with so much potential action, and so many athletes with so much annoying boring filler? This is brutal redbull...

backcountry |ˈbakˌkəntrē|
noun ( the backcountry)
sparsely inhabited rural areas; wilderness
it is a wrestling move when you grab a persons sphincter and pull on it
No it's a remix
