Thanks for your openness in discussing the use of sleds in the backcountry. One issue that you may also want to consider is the impact sleds have on other backcountry users. I love skiing great lines deep in the backcountry, but even more important to me is being able disconnect from the mechanized world. When you have put in the effort to tour to the top of a peak there is nothing that can sour a perfect day more than the high pitched whine and acrid fumes of a sled charging up the skin track and spraying you with debris as it blows past you. I love the skiing you all do and you all seem like really decent folks. I have the feeling you personally would try to be considerate, however in general that has not been my experience snowmobile users.
Basically a video about how they believe in something but aren’t willing to compromise, while preaching to everyone else and expecting everyone else to compromise.
Rene , snowmobiles are not the problem. They do nearly zero damage compared to mostly all other forms of recreation. If these athletes want to reduce their carbon footprint, they should fly to Japan and Chile less, and snowmobile access their back yards more.
@@jonmiller9276, snowmobiles are not the Problem, your car is not the problem, the flyight to Japan takes off with or without you.... Where starts the problem? As much as i Do like back country skiing, i think snowmobiles are the wrong way to get there. Dont let more and more people get the idea to reach remote spots by snowmobiles.
@@jonmiller9276 once a wise man said:.. These boots are Made for walking, and.... Imagine more and more Skiers go back country using snow mobiles... Don't like that thoughts.. But maybe its because i'm from austria, we don't use snowmobiles we got 2strong healthy legs(most of us) 😉
@@juicenot2481 Well, if anyone should, it's these guys.Their jobs depend on the snow. And in the mountains close to where I live, you can literally see how places that used to get lots of snow 10-15 years ago for most of the winter are now often covered in thin layers at best, or at times even stay bare completely.
Literally everything in the world relies on fossil fuels. This is about deepening the dialogue and trying to get people to think about the repercussions of their actions. Any dialogue, regardless of how “hypocritical” is worthwhile.The people who benefit from and love spending time in the outdoors the most need to become the people who fight for a change more than anyone else. I am of the opinion that any conversation on issues that are so large and difficult to deal with is a good thing. The next thing to do is start lending that privilege of being able to spend time outdoors/being near true wilderness to others who would never otherwise get to experience that.
Great footage! I'm hooked. @38, I still aspire to keep playing hard and push my limits. Thanks for the motivation. It's a different ski film perspective than I've seen lately, thanks!!
They are skiing atleast as a pair. So they use two selds to get to the mountain. Let one slet standing at the bottem and drive up with the other one. After they skied down they use the second seld to get the seld at the top of the mountain.
I see a lot of joy in their faces talking about sledding and the Tucker cat! Many of these adventures would not be possible without a sled, snowcat, or heli. Very few elite athletes are able to venture more than a couple of miles into the backcountry on human power alone. The ski industry is changing! Daily lift tickets are almost $200/day at major ski resorts. Season passes are $800-1500. Fun times waiting in the traffic and standing in the lift lines so you might get lucky to find a few untracked lines. Heli skiing...$1000-2000/day? Let me do the math...I can get my own latest and greatest snowmobile for about $200/month! I can pick and choose to ride the best powder days of the season. I guarantee the carbon footprint left by running sleds isn't even a fraction of the carbon footprint emitted by cars regularly sitting in standstill resort traffic on I-70 in CO or I-80 (and hwy. 89) in Tahoe!
Great skiing and terrain but if they have issues with it then give up using motorized vehicles in the backcountry. Ian Macintosh has already said he wants to hike in to this terrain.
hum I wonder how many of these champs actually drink red bull? Great to see the drinking of it a precondition of sponsorship, it might help them getting the message in sync with the image...
Everything she is wearing contains items created through fossil fuels. Her skis and boots are also possible because of materials derived from fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are in everything. This video was sponsored by Red Bull who are huge consumers of fossil fuels through their events, swag and the pursuit of getting the epic shots. I'm an avid snowmobiler and use it as a form of recreation and not to access ski terrain. I can almost guarantee that the carbon footprint I make is smaller than the one left by a skier skiing at a ski area using lift access(once you factor what all goes into maintaining and running a ski area). And in most places across the US we do have motorized and non-motorized areas on public lands for those seeking to earn their turns. So unless we all go back to wearing natural wool and skiing on wood skis there going to need to be a compromise. The fashion industry is doing far more damage to the earth than backcountry recreation folks.
it is extremely hypocritical for a group of snow sports enthusiasts/professionals to preach to the rest of the world about combating climate change when they unnecessarily help contribute to that problem via the pursuing of their respective sports/professions. they fly all over the world to ski/snowboard different mountains, and they take helicopters, snow cats, and snowmobiles to reach hard to access terrains. their jobs certainly leave larger carbon footprints than mine yet i have to listen to them preach about how we all need to make the conscious efforts to reduce our carbon footprints. well, compared to you guys i'm doing less harm to the environment than you, so please, just shut up and ski/snowboard. don't get me wrong, i have no problem with what they do in terms of their sports/professions, but i do find it offensive when they preach to me about something that they are unnecessarily guilty of.
They're hypocrites dude, like most of these lost entitlement Millennial goofs. They all want to join a cause, be heard, tell everyone else what to do and what to believe. The worlds getting very narcissistic and weird.
Fully agree!!! That statement "100miles of snowmobile is worth for skiing 2 lines" is just out of age!! Stop it!!! Backcountry skiing ok but please sweat for it! Get the skins, hike for several hours for 1 or max 2 lines and then you will be much more satisfied of what you achieved and of the message you're passing! I ride the same lines as you in steep montains of Europe without snowmobile or helicopter! and this is what I want to leave to my kids! Protect the earth or you wont have snow left in a few years! It is just like those guys doing wakeboard behind a jetski in the arctic! That's just stupid!
@fearons eye What do you mean? Yes the world is getting hotter, and it wont stop until about 2-3 degrees more. But thats not something we as humans can change. That is how the world works. Another fact is that we are recovering from the "small ice age" that was between something like 1650-1850. Under that time millions of people died from starvation because they were unable to grow anything. Now you can basically grow whatever you want and that is a large part thanks to C02. We pump in about 2-3x more C02 (then outside) in greenhouse so the crops will grow faster and bigger. I can go on and on if you want. My point is that there are other far more important risks to our planet then C02.
I love your movie. It is a very inspirational and uplifting piece. Please, please, please don't be a sucker for those new age green Marxists who make you guilty to drive snowmobiles. I grew up in the communist country and I know what is new ecobolsheviks are trying to achieve; when you feel guilty you are more successive to manipulation and their power play. Never in the history of your wester civilization we are more clean and gentle to our planet through out our technology and science advances than in the past. Enjoy what you are doing and don't pay an attention to these new power monsters who using our conscience for their dirty and evil politics.
there's ways to offset your ecological footprint, you all should talk and think about that. The fossil fuel narrative in this video is going nowhere effective. For the amount of influence and views these videos get, climate change needs to be more effectively communicated. Corporations [like Red Bull] have huge ecological footprints talk about that

So true. I love your movies, but u know u don't Do mother nature a favour by using snowmobiles.. Respect your nature! 😉

Rene Koechl why are Snowmobiles the wrong way to get there? Should humanity not have access to nature?

i feel like that big bus leaves more of a carbon footprint than a snowmobile

LOVE this vid series so far. Well done. Beautiful lines, skillfully skied!! Now I can't wait to ski this season. TY for triggering the skiing bug.
Have a great season!
Respect to the crew! Beautiful shots and amazing lines.
Passion. 🔥
Absolutely loving this series already!

Yay! Not only it is the end of the week, but new episode of Originate is here! You gotta love Friday!
TGIF! 🙌
Finally the come back of ski videos !! I wait a long time for those hahah
Good things come to those who wait. 😎
Great footage! I'm hooked.
@38, I still aspire to keep playing hard and push my limits. Thanks for the motivation. It's a different ski film perspective than I've seen lately, thanks!!
Anything involving red bull is exilirating
I loved this. can't wait for next weeks episode
Super cool video thnx guys
Next level stuff, amazing!
Love the vintage sno-cat eh!
ABsolutelYYYYY LOVED THAT!!! Muy buenooooooooooooooo
Sweet shot at 6:25
When they take the sleds up to the top, then ski down. How do they get back up to the sleds? Honest question lol
They are skiing atleast as a pair. So they use two selds to get to the mountain. Let one slet standing at the bottem and drive up with the other one. After they skied down they use the second seld to get the seld at the top of the mountain.
this is great!!!

Why not just come out like Dan Treadway and own your carbon footprint for your pleasure?
you are so awesome!!!!!!!!!!
The next time I hear "I need to lesson my carbon footprint" I will gag!

vertical feet/day > carbon footprint. How much fuel would a heli burn?
Why is Chamonix in the thumbnail?
Currently just about everybody in the developed world relies on fossil fuels for everything, not just our jobs.

Where are the electrics one
I wish I could go back to Austria and ski 😔
Well do it then, you won’t regret it
Why have you subscribed? I can’t I live in the UK broke asf

Flying around the world to ski is one thing, but sledding does not harm the environment as much as driving your CAR to and from work every day
That's the reason I run or cycle to work with a suit in my backpack!
❤
Oh YEAH😜🇨🇭🙌😂
🔥🔥🔥🔐
love and like
Hi:Your Very cool i like you
Take a shot every time they say 'access' or 'accessing'.
More episodes
Yeww!
Cool as
Came here just for the comments.
💪😉👍👏
Really enjoyed it until they started to talk about how C02 is bad for the climate....
Wow
@Tony Franchise CA I 100% agree. And im not saying climate change isnt real. It is real and it has been going on for the past 4,5 billion years.....
US is one of the 2 most responsible, respectful and clean countries? Good joke.
How can you be a skier and still be so ignorant towards the things that's gonna make this beautiful sport so much harder to pursue?

Well I guess using a helicopter was too big of a carbon footprint eh?
yeeeeeha
⭐CooL☺🇺🇸⭐
I just hate how loud this things are. Canadians are running these machines way too abusive, sometimes I found no peace at all on the slopes ......

I love this channel its so sick like if you think the same!
"carbon footprint" Oh please grow up.
Relax your upper lip 👄 Michelle.

snowmobiles are whack for many other reasons than co2 emissions
"speaking up"(?) hey, DO something (about carbon footprints) #actionspeakslouder
