    Seriously great work, Nikolai. I met Merrick many years ago while guiding Denali. We've since reconnected through IG and in Anchorage. Such fun watching you guys tromp around in that amazing play ground. Doesn't feel like another bro-fest like so many other films. More like a day out with friends. That's how I like it.

    Niko's calm, cheery, and confident demeanor really helped out everyone. I'm sure it was contagious...having a good mindset is so important when doing something like this. Really enjoyed this nice production.

  • @Cdosvirusexe
    @Cdosvirusexe 3 года назад +11

    Mate I just found your channel the fact you don’t have millions of subscribers blew my mind. This is genuinely cinematic stuff, honestly some of the highest production value I’ve seen on RUclips. Keep on the grind and I’m sure you’ll get what you deserve 💪

  • @aseon3

    Excellent video, the view count should be in the millions. Haha, literally every part of this video is stuff most people will never do, and comments like ,"it's just a bit choky at first, and then it opens up." are pure gold. That's what mortals say at the start of a black run, not after an insane rope descent, and then about to ski a steep couloir.

    The production value of your stuff is amazing. Bra jobbat! I really like that you don't just focus on the downhill skiing, like a lot of commercial ski movies, but also show the less glamorous bits, like the sketchy rappel on the too-short rope! Keep up the good work!

  • @malachev
    @malachev 3 года назад +6

    This video was pretty scary. There were a number of bad decisions that were made with consequences that could have resulted in death. The ladies were skiing conditions that were really pushing their limits, questionable when the consequences of falling are so high. Merrick's ski release, only the heel released, did she forget to switch the toe into ski mode? The mountains will still be there tomorrow. Old mountaineers are the ones that listen to the voice inside that says "today is not the day".
