I was out of my comfort zone just watching! Great story telling James - this is something that isn't always commented on but is appreciated - sound effects included. I have to think that the descent down Dutch Wallet is typically done with touring boots so extra points for doing it with alpine gear. Also, looks like you made a great choice with your skis. Thanks for the great videos; this one is exceptional. Kudos.
Thank you so much B Golden! I put many hours of additional time and effort into the little pieces of editing/music so it's super reassuring to hear that you feel like it improves the overall watching experience. Touring boots and maybe an extra pair of underwear would make the Dutch Wallet execution easier 😂😂😂😂
Kicks your but Horse is such amazing resort with the gnarliest in-bonds terrain in North America by some margin. Great video James and I was crapping myself just watching you get into Dutch Wallet, respect to you and Rob for doing it!!
Thanks Jacob! I appreciate you being here from the earliest days. It's the dream to take this thing full time so I can make even better content for everyone!
The traverses you guys are making to get to the runs scare the friggin heck out of me. I can't believe these runs are part of an official ski resort. The entrance to Dutch Wallet is an official part of the trail?! Crazy!
These may be the best ski videos of any type on youtube. Ive seen endless hours of Alaskan spine stunt skiing. This is more interesting because it's something I can go and do with minimal budget and maximum pucker effect. I cant imagine nailing Dutch Wallet after a storm. Like falling down an elevator shaft full of love. I would definitely bring a harness and 6mm rappel cord of my own.
This was without doubt the craziest entry to run I’ve ever seen. Makes me wonder if on certain years there’s enough snow blown on that face to make it like corbets couloir kind of entry. Thanks for the great video.🇬🇧
T-A-O-S! Yes Taos is this tough, though we don’t have any rappel into chutes. Dutch Wallet? How about BYOR? (Bring your own rope) a harness, a figure eight and a clean rope would be much safer than a rope with all those knots.
After thinking the last video was the best you've ever made...this one is 10x better. I would love to go to KH some day, but for now I'm stuck on the ice coast.
Perhaps the most beater free skiing channel with good commentary and turns on legit gnar. Nice work. Get yourself a sidecountry vest like whatvest to easily put skis on your back.
KH is a beast. Skied a lot of places and while you can find some gnarly stuff wherever you go, it’s the lack of options for an easier run that make KH different. Almost every run starts with a mogul covered ridge off a lift, then a couloir, then trees, then big ass moguls and then a final flat run to the lifts right at end. Definitely a place that forces you to be a better skier.
After climbing down I was equally frightened watching you walk around without skis on! That’s scary…get off balance and start sliding on your boots…woof. That was definitely a wild experience even from this side of the lens.
was there in Feb - some of those knife edge goat paths were easily the most sketchy I've ever been on - mountain is no joke and basically an advanced only hill - they probably like it that way
Man, what I wouldn't give to see you stomp some Summit County mountains next year!! Dutch Wallet reminded me of one of A-Basin's more renown lines on the East Wall.
Josiah! I'd love to do a big US mountain rip and A-basin looks sick. Need to grow this channel bigger and find a substantial sponsor to support me so I can drop the 9-5 and do a huge trip!
The Dutch Wallet is on a whole other level with that sick entry. Thoughtful of the KH ski patrol to leave that rope for anyone who's crazy enough to use it...yeah, I would. Reminds of Aiguille du Midi... in Chamonix.
Did the Dutch wallet last March. Was the most memorable experience on a mountain anywhere. Kicking horse I'd hands down my favorite resort. With 20cm of snow it would blow your mind how good it can be.
@@riseandalpine new sub to your channel. Great content. I've had a few waist deep pow days on that mountain. It's heaven on earth. Will be there again next march. Keep the great content coming. Glad I found your channel
@@stevebrunke5003 Hopefully I'll see ya there in March. Thanks so much for subscribing dude. It's great to see YT recommending my videos to some new eyeballs!
You guys are amazing skiers! I can't believe there are even legitimate ski runs like this. I wouldn't even hike what you are doing on a lovely summer day, with a wide open trail, let alone ski this stuff.
Wow. Great video of my favourite mountain. The Horse is significantly better in a good snow year. 2022-23 had the worst coverage I have experienced in 15 years. Head back 2023-24 with big Pow and the place blows your mind.
So helpful for the next time I'm in Golden. The only time I skied Kicking Horse I was caught in a total white out in a place called Feuz Bowl. Couldn't tell up from down but somehow found my way out.
Awesome video. Super gnarly stuff! One place that definitely has some insane in bounds terrain to discover is Arapahoe Basin. Probably not quite as wild as KH but good for sure. Also, one thing that is always very appealing to see is a view from the bottom of a crazy section, looking back up so we can get a broader view of what you just did. Hard to remember in the natural adrenaline flow of skiing, but just thought I would suggest. Keep up the good videos!
Thanks! I'd love to check out A-basin one day. You're totally right. I always mean to film the run but I get so excited that I forget to turn the camera around.
Finally decided to subscribe to my first YT channel! James, great stuff! Find your candid commentary to real world and live action very entertaining. You've sold me on Kicking Horse and the other BC resorts.
Really appreciate you taking the time to comment and subscribe! Glad you're enjoying the content and I've inspired you to ski in some of my favourite places. Give me a shout if you have any questions!
It’s not unsafe, I’m sorry but you clearly are just not an adventurous type. That’s fine, not everyone has the courage to do this type of stuff, however calling it “unsafe” is simply not true. This risk of death is very minimal, broken bones heal.
Man, I was dying 😂 watching you climb into Dutch wallet! Thinking, only skiers are crazy enough to rappel down a cliff without real protection, just for the possibility of good pow. Haha
Great video! Seriously though, climbing down to a run with sketchy rope and not one carabiner? I started bringing rope around with a couple carabiners in case one of my buddies fell into a tree well. Never thought I could potentially use it to help get to a run 😂😂
Gotta wonder, James, why Rob the Mountaineer was down the rope in 2 seconds while you took what seemed to be an agonizing hour….just wondering 😅 My ski buddy Andy and I stopped at KH on the way to Revelstoke (from Maryland) a while ago and Andy’s wearing a stocking cap, while everyone seems to be wearing a helmet. So Andy inquires if they are mandatory. The answer was “no, but everyone wears one”. Andy bought his 1st helmet! It’s easy to see why. The mogul hill that looks you in the eye from the entrance reminds one of a sheer wall…
Rob is half man half billy goat... Me, my pants were filled with s**t. According to physics I should have gotten down faster. Glad to hear Andy's wearing a helmet these days. Kicking Horse will have that effect on people LOL.
That was great! You can keep that Dutch Wallet. Ropes, rocks, trees - like an emergency rescue training area in the middle of a ski run. Yak. But what? Do you have a little drone over your head like an angel’s halo? Obviously, I’m not savvy like that. I loved all the “WTF??” moments. And yeah, your rope tying skills are interesting 😹
Me, bad with knots.. noooo ;) 😂😂😂😂 Glad someone didn't have to do rescue training coming to get me hahaha. I've got a 360 camera on my head so I can capture everything when I'm doing kooky things in the mountains. Thanks for tuning in Barb!
First time I skied Consequences was by accident. Fully socked in I just wanted to look at the entrance but didnt know where it was, suddenly I was 20 feet in the air and fuly committed to the line hahaha what a blast
As an aside, this is the first vid on your channel I've come across. But if they're all this quality I'm gonna smash subscribe really fast. Excellent stuff!
I'm at Whistler for 5 days, and today was a 9.5/10, and also in the top 3 days in my 55+ years of skiing. But, the point of the comment is I needed some Whistler stats, and when I googled it, one option was Rise and Shine, and then I realized it was the same person doing it was the same person who I was subscribed to on RUclips. You might want to let those of us who are stupid realize it exists. I just got first seniors seasons pass for next year, and I plan to study the web site and learn what I can about Whistler and Blackcomb before next Winter.
@Rise & Alpine Monday was a gong show, 70 minutes in line for the only gondola running, and another 45 minutes waiting at 7th Heaven, but the snow was excellent, so I gave the day a 7.0/10. Yesterday was absolutely amazing, the best day in a few seasons, so I'm giving it a 9.5/10. Today was almost as good as yesterday. However, there was a little less powder, but the visibility was better, so I give the day a 9.4/10. Overall, it's probably the best week of skiing in my life, and I still have 2 days left...( I'm not sure my body has 2 days left, though, lol).
Especially for the 'steep and not deep' Consequence, Old guy passing on what tiny bit he knows. Those are good skis, they bite well, hard, in the crust. Get the same ski, longer body still nice and upright, bend your knees more and sink hard out over your toes. For what I just saw at 2:35 ,, get forward and down. There will be a magic point,, you'll feel it,, where the bite is excellent as you press in the front of the skis and the turns become pure thought,, Those skis will turn so easily, the first time you get there, you will go out and over the skis because they will turn faster than you expect. Fairly straight line from knees, hips, shoulders,, do not bend forward,, bend knees to ankles to press the weight forward ahead of your toes. For you, for those skis,, there is a magic point where turns are so easy you can and will spin 360s without lifting from the snow. The carve and control will astound you.
When you find that spot, you're gonna love it. It can be learned on the bunny slope with a minimum of pain. A suggestion to find that spot,, leave one ski at the top or bottom. On one foot, you have to press forward hard with chest and hips up and forward. One run on the left foot, the next on the right. Some bindings with am up and twisting release,, will not like the exercise. you may have to crank down on the heal release. You are gonna love it.@@riseandalpine
On a great day One Trick Pony used to be one of my favorite lines at KH. Get into the chute, ski the face, then hook a larry and send er off the lower cliff into an untouched powder landing
FYI: strap for your skis so you can hang them over your shoulder - $12. I kinda wish I'd not seen Dutch Wallet; doesn't seem alike a great idea, however I now feel obligated to ski at least once. Heaven's Door on the other hand, would have to hit it multiple times.
Some of the couloirs and chutes are right off the gondola. The t1, T2 and Ozone hikes are about 20 minutes. On par with some of Whistler's toughest but Kickinghorse has way more extreme terrain per acre!
There are a couple of r 5:545:54 uns that you can only access via rappelling into . They are close to ons trick pony. Haven't done them only lnow because skied beside 'em and local pointed them out. I need bigger diaper for something like that 😮
Trauma Specialist: When it comes to trees, the fatal impact margin begins at 15 mph. Some are cusioned by branches, others are killed. there are so many capricious elements in extreme skiing that lead to death. Trees, of course, get their revenge .... for trail cutting.
Yeah, that rock rope decent looked way sketchier than my 5 meter hand only decent down in a cave a while ago. I would SO love to send some of the stuff there!
“Last night we stayed in a motel and had a full breakfast” … Baller … Last night the Four Seasons was booked, so I had to stay at the Adara, and sneak over to Pangea for an egg Sandwich. The ski bum struggle is real.
I was out of my comfort zone just watching! Great story telling James - this is something that isn't always commented on but is appreciated - sound effects included. I have to think that the descent down Dutch Wallet is typically done with touring boots so extra points for doing it with alpine gear. Also, looks like you made a great choice with your skis. Thanks for the great videos; this one is exceptional. Kudos.
Thank you so much B Golden! I put many hours of additional time and effort into the little pieces of editing/music so it's super reassuring to hear that you feel like it improves the overall watching experience.
Touring boots and maybe an extra pair of underwear would make the Dutch Wallet execution easier 😂😂😂😂
I feel the exact same way
Finally! Someone who can ski and doesn't slide down the steeps. Great video!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Kicks your but Horse is such amazing resort with the gnarliest in-bonds terrain in North America by some margin. Great video James and I was crapping myself just watching you get into Dutch Wallet, respect to you and Rob for doing it!!
Thanks Neil... The Horse is demanding but I loved every single step and turn :)!
So stoked to see you come to the horse! Glad you were able to find some local’s favourites 👌
Thanks! Will absolutely be coming back next season!
Kicking horse looks so sick!!
I'm glad your channel has blown up! I was with you in the first 1k. To see almost 9k is sick! Keep crushing, bro!
Thanks Jacob! I appreciate you being here from the earliest days. It's the dream to take this thing full time so I can make even better content for everyone!
2 dopes on a rope ...no soap - lol - that was incredible!
hahahahha
Let's go, my dude! Another video of stoke!
The traverses you guys are making to get to the runs scare the friggin heck out of me. I can't believe these runs are part of an official ski resort. The entrance to Dutch Wallet is an official part of the trail?! Crazy!
I too can't believe this stuff is inbounds. Such an insane resort! Gotta love it 😂😂😂

This is more interesting because it's something I can go and do with minimal budget and maximum pucker effect. I cant imagine nailing Dutch Wallet after a storm.

Ayye thanks Scott! 'An elevator shaft full of love' hahaha. Bring me along if you have a rappel cord. I wouldn't trust that rope again LOL.
This was without doubt the craziest entry to run I’ve ever seen. Makes me wonder if on certain years there’s enough snow blown on that face to make it like corbets couloir kind of entry. Thanks for the great video.🇬🇧
I'm sure with more snow it would be an easier climb but they would need a Tahoe 2023 level dump to make it close to skiable. Would be epic!
Kicking horse is the toughest mountain youll find. Its is not for beginners as there is only expert and i mean expert runs from the top. I love it!
It's absolutely mental. I love it too. Top of my list.
Two words. Red, Mountain.

Yea well he could tell us where he is at. State, county, Aep tea….
T-A-O-S! Yes Taos is this tough, though we don’t have any rappel into chutes. Dutch Wallet? How about BYOR? (Bring your own rope) a harness, a figure eight and a clean rope would be much safer than a rope with all those knots.

Just booked plane ticket to go there Feb 24. Looks like I have to up my fitness level to ski there.
Perhaps the most beater free skiing channel with good commentary and turns on legit gnar. Nice work. Get yourself a sidecountry vest like whatvest to easily put skis on your back.
Thanks dude! I love the term 'beater free skiing channel' I'm laughing so hard I almost spat my coffee out!
What's your helmet cam setup and what editing software are you using. Its pretty dialed. @@riseandalpine
My favorite music clip is when you let the “Hallelujah chorus” resound when you’re on top of the world at Eagle’s eye restaurant. What a view!!!
Solid expert skiing in some of the finest terrain in Canada. You are living the life my plank riding brother in stoke.

KHMR is the craziest mountain in NA! You've got to be on your A-game or you can get in serious trouble
After climbing down I was equally frightened watching you walk around without skis on! That’s scary…get off balance and start sliding on your boots…woof. That was definitely a wild experience even from this side of the lens.
That would be one long ass bootpack back up to grab my skis. Glad you could feel how crazy this was from the other side of the lens!
was there in Feb - some of those knife edge goat paths were easily the most sketchy I've ever been on - mountain is no joke and basically an advanced only hill - they probably like it that way
I know right! If you were a beginner you would have no reasonable escape from the top other than a download
Damn bro! Nicely done....that Dutch Wallet is SICK!! The snow was crazy hard/choppy....good to have sharp edges....get the file out after those days!
I was really wishing I had fresh edges that day hahaha
Watching this right before ski season! Getting me ready for the winter!
Heck ya! We're almost there!
You have the best videos
Thank you so much!

Yeeeeew

That "perfect guy for the job" line was hilarious. Well done guys...

Oh man I have always dreamt of Chamonix... That's one I need to check off the bucket list
Kicking Horse is another level. All of the runs he showed...there`s dozens more just like it, right off the goat path
It's the most ridiculous place on earth.. A candy store for steep skiers!
Monstrously glad i can ski vicariously down these crazeeee runs!!! Thanks!!
Stoked to have you cheering me on!

Incredible video!! Doing that descent looked terrifying!! Glad the run was worth it! 😂
I'm just happy to be alive 😂😂😂😂
So helpful for the next time I'm in Golden. The only time I skied Kicking Horse I was caught in a total white out in a place called Feuz Bowl. Couldn't tell up from down but somehow found my way out.
I will now place kicking horse at the top of my bucket list. Thank you.
Killer skiing, you got me to subscribe
Thanks for subbing John! Kicking horse is definitely worthy of the top of the bucket list.
Great skiing, man! Stoked I found this page. Things are tough on the east coast right now.
Wow, these runs are just next level!
I know right, it's flipping wild!
Awesome video. Super gnarly stuff! One place that definitely has some insane in bounds terrain to discover is Arapahoe Basin. Probably not quite as wild as KH but good for sure.
Also, one thing that is always very appealing to see is a view from the bottom of a crazy section, looking back up so we can get a broader view of what you just did. Hard to remember in the natural adrenaline flow of skiing, but just thought I would suggest. Keep up the good videos!

Super fun ski - can handle it all with ease
That is absolutely insane. Glad you made it through there alive. Horribly unsafe way to climb down that cliff.
I survived. My underwear did not 😂😂
What’s the proper way to climb in?
It’s not unsafe, I’m sorry but you clearly are just not an adventurous type.
That’s fine, not everyone has the courage to do this type of stuff, however calling it “unsafe” is simply not true.

Best video yet. KHR is badass.
Thanks Eric!
that looks like so much fun!! keep it up, love your content 😁
Such a blast! Thx StolenMustang :)
Man, I was dying 😂 watching you climb into Dutch wallet! Thinking, only skiers are crazy enough to rappel down a cliff without real protection, just for the possibility of good pow. Haha
Still scared from this hahahha
The double dutch was gnarly as hell, pow brahs!!
You know your having a good ski day when you feel inspired to play the “Hallelujah chorus”!

A half hitch at the ski tips would have kept the skis oriented the right way. Love your channel.
Thanks Todd! That's a great idea. I'm so miserable with knots, but after this, I'm thinking about getting the basics down.
Your crushing it massive !!! Thanks for sharing !!!
Thanks for watching!
Gotta wonder, James, why Rob the Mountaineer was down the rope in 2 seconds while you took what seemed to be an agonizing hour….just wondering 😅
My ski buddy Andy and I stopped at KH on the way to Revelstoke (from Maryland) a while ago and Andy’s wearing a stocking cap, while everyone seems to be wearing a helmet.

good day! you lucked out with the snow AND the weather...nice video
100%... I'll opt for a little less rope down climbing next time but it was awesome!
Gettin the Stoke 🙌🏻
Choking on Stoke at KHMR!
I was there 17 years ago, just getting from the lift to the first run was a bloody challenge! awesome place
That was great! You can keep that Dutch Wallet. Ropes, rocks, trees - like an emergency rescue training area in the middle of a ski run. Yak. But what?

Great ski Adventure⛷ loved the Rope descent
Thanks Marcus! That rope descent got me sweating real good.
you kick ass man! attacking these lines. yeeewwwww!!!
Yeeehawwww
Well documented!! The Dutch trail was crazy. You guys had to climb down for a inbound trail. That’s crazy.
Thanks Sam! Still can't believe it's an inbounds run!
@@riseandalpine welcome!! looking forward to the Nelson video!
that rope one was something else!
Totally spooked me out haha
Awesome video, I felt like I was right there with you riding the horse!
Thanks for coming along!
First time I skied Consequences was by accident. Fully socked in I just wanted to look at the entrance but didnt know where it was, suddenly I was 20 feet in the air and fuly committed to the line hahaha what a blast
hahahaa that's absolutely wicked. I couldn't even imagine navigating that ridge in the fog. You've got donkey balls my friend.
God that looks awesome! I've got a van conversion in the works, and I just added Horse to the list of places I've gotta go when it finishes.

Thanks Travis! You gotta drop by horse. Would love to see the conversion when it's all wrapped up!
That was so crazy and cool. Looks like such a fun mountain
So Cool! Kicking Horse is the GOAT!
I know that go pro does visuals and adrenaline factor no justice. You killed it like a BOSS.
Thanks Randy. To some that climb might have been dead easy, but heights can really get to me. Felt good to push the limits!
I'm at Whistler for 5 days, and today was a 9.5/10, and also in the top 3 days in my 55+ years of skiing.

So jealous you were out getting after it this week! Thanks for the advice - I need all the visibility I can get!
@Rise & Alpine Monday was a gong show, 70 minutes in line for the only gondola running, and another 45 minutes waiting at 7th Heaven, but the snow was excellent, so I gave the day a 7.0/10. Yesterday was absolutely amazing, the best day in a few seasons, so I'm giving it a 9.5/10. Today was almost as good as yesterday. However, there was a little less powder, but the visibility was better, so I give the day a 9.4/10.
Overall, it's probably the best week of skiing in my life, and I still have 2 days left...( I'm not sure my body has 2 days left, though, lol).
Especially for the 'steep and not deep' Consequence, Old guy passing on what tiny bit he knows. Those are good skis, they bite well, hard, in the crust. Get the same ski, longer body still nice and upright, bend your knees more and sink hard out over your toes. For what I just saw at 2:35 ,, get forward and down. There will be a magic point,, you'll feel it,, where the bite is excellent as you press in the front of the skis and the turns become pure thought,, Those skis will turn so easily, the first time you get there, you will go out and over the skis because they will turn faster than you expect. Fairly straight line from knees, hips, shoulders,, do not bend forward,, bend knees to ankles to press the weight forward ahead of your toes. For you, for those skis,, there is a magic point where turns are so easy you can and will spin 360s without lifting from the snow. The carve and control will astound you.
Thanks for passing on your knowledge and expertise, I'll work on getting more forward pressure in the steeps.
When you find that spot, you're gonna love it. It can be learned on the bunny slope with a minimum of pain. A suggestion to find that spot,, leave one ski at the top or bottom. On one foot, you have to press forward hard with chest and hips up and forward. One run on the left foot, the next on the right. Some bindings with am up and twisting release,, will not like the exercise. you may have to crank down on the heal release. You are gonna love it.@@riseandalpine

I'd love to follow you into that on a pow day!
That was a freaking blast,damn skippy bra!
so crazy!
no harness? cut up old rope secured to old weed what could go wrong. Great skiing though. would have been tempted keep the skis on.
Excellent skiing... fun video to watch
Thanks Greg!
What mountain is this? Is this whistler black comb or is it another mountain?
This is Kicking Horse Mountain Resort in Golden, British Columbia
I have never heard of it but I’ll probably visit it one day. It sounds pretty cool.
Dutch wallet has made me want to ski again after 25 years. Great video. 3 hrs away from home. Hmmmm
Your drive will take about as long as it took my to climb down like a scaredy cat hahah
FYI: strap for your skis so you can hang them over your shoulder - $12. I kinda wish I'd not seen Dutch Wallet; doesn't seem alike a great idea, however I now feel obligated to ski at least once. Heaven's Door on the other hand, would have to hit it multiple times.
Good idea Steve! Sorry for making you feel the urge to do it once 😂 😂 😂 😂
A kinda-sorta-ski-rappel into inbounds terrain? Jeeeez I can't wait to get to Kicking Horse next year (but you won't see me doing that.)
I would not recommend Dutch Wallet without a second set of undies 😂😂
This video makes me realize I don't ski T1 enough. Usually just lap CPR ridge and the chair.
T1 was my absolute favourite. Those chutes back in towards the resort like truth dare and consequence are unbelievable!
Thanks for sharing🎉
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed
Great footage fellas
Thanks Greg!!
Awesome video ! What’s the song around 6:10 called ?
How long were the hikes to the couloirs? how does this compare to Whistler's toughest runs?
Some of the couloirs and chutes are right off the gondola. The t1, T2 and Ozone hikes are about 20 minutes. On par with some of Whistler's toughest but Kickinghorse has way more extreme terrain per acre!
This is certainly a bucket list place for me. I wonder if it's still worth trekking there this season from the Prairies?
It was still good last week! There has been some warming so it might need a fresh snow fall
There are a couple of r 5:54 5:54 uns that you can only access via rappelling into . They are close to ons trick pony. Haven't done them only lnow because skied beside 'em and local pointed them out. I need bigger diaper for something like that 😮
Sheesh. In resort rapping... I think I'd need a double decker diaper too hahaha
your killing it man
Thanks!
i was there just a week ago, did whitewall for the first time. definitely my favourite resort!
Unreal Noah! Whitewall is amazing.
This is Sick! Have you ever been to Utah? We have something like the Dutch Wallet at snowbird
Never been to Utah - I really want to make the trip out there next season!
Trauma Specialist: When it comes to trees, the fatal impact margin begins at 15 mph. Some are cusioned by branches, others are killed. there are so many capricious elements in extreme skiing that lead to death. Trees, of course, get their revenge .... for trail cutting.
Extreme skiing is very dangerous, that is for certain!
10/10 chill soundtrack.
Glad you liked it!
Kicking horse is fun as hell
the funnest!
7:25 actually no, arapahoe basin in colorado has a chute in bounds that you have to use a rope to downclimb into
Sweet! I'll have to check it out.
Yeah, that rock rope decent looked way sketchier than my 5 meter hand only decent down in a cave a while ago. I would SO love to send some of the stuff there!
A hand descent into a cave sounds pretty wild. Where is this cave? I need to know :).
“Last night we stayed in a motel and had a full breakfast” … Baller … Last night the Four Seasons was booked, so I had to stay at the Adara, and sneak over to Pangea for an egg Sandwich. The ski bum struggle is real.
