You know it counts! Best damn end of Sept snow I've ever seen! What I want to know is how on God's green earth you can climb that mountain with those giant boulders dangling between your legs hahaha. Rock on my brother that beautiful pow is on the way! 🏔⛷
Thank's for keeping the gas tank full Andy! Maybe I'll have to drive back up there for round two before September ends! What kind of car you got.. Does it need one of these conversion kits before I sell them to the public?
That's is some quality September Corn! Next year bring your skis . . . .be careful, this could turn into a year around obsession. I just checked of my September turns last week . . . wrapping up my 25th year of skiing every month . . . in California. And . . .yes it counts!
We had 3rd snowfall on the glaciers in the Alps in September this season already, so looking forward to early skiing in October in winterlike conditions :)
Hell yeah this counts for September turns! You can't put in all that effort for it not to count!! 😎👏 The Hollaback Girl slipping edit on the way down was GOLD!! 😆🤣😂
Stay Spicy brother. You certainly skied that September not-so-much pow. You hiked and earned those ridiculous turns and enjoyed the mountain along the way. Can't wait to enjoy your actual videos as mother nature brings her glory here soon.
Mini skis coming in clutch I guess 🤣🤣 October should be eeeaassyy!! And just like that then we are back in ski season 🤙🏼🤙🏼 I can’t believe it’s already heeerreee!!! Thanks for getting us through the summer with your epic videos!
Happy I could provide entertainment in the otherwise dull skiing months! Thank god for the mini skis. But I won't sleep right unless I get in my actual planks before the end of September.
On the bright side you didn't have to carry skis and boots on that hellacious hike...also, on the bright side your ability to maintain a positive spirit when "the discovery" was made is noteworthy, James. You must be in legendary condition. Let's go winter!
Down here in WA state we are only being teased about the La Nina winter. We have to go to work, so it s great to see the glass half full in the middle of a mistake and see the fun in what you get the privilege of doing. Keep up the good vibes!
My brother Andy and I just hit 216 months of earned Ski Turns...Found snow in the Kootenay Boundary area....You proved how hard it really is to connect 12 months ....Unfortunate you forgot your skis..😮😢Can you go back before the end of September? Tough to say if it counts....because you did not mean to forget your skis....Lucky you had your snowblades..... I remember my bro forgetting his ski touring boots in Revelstoke before a ski touring in Roger's Pass...He was able to drive back to Revy and grab them...Then sprint and catch up to us on the Glacier ....Hopefully October brings the goods....Snowblading all year could be an option 😮😊
@@riseandalpineThanks man😊😊 Seek and Enjoy. It would be fun to ski with you. I remember pulling off 12 months of skiing was a great feeling. Take care.
Nice, I’m almost on 48 months here in Colorado. Definitely a lot easier by you all with the glaciers! We do not have any real ones and the snow patches that stay around all year keep getting smaller.
That moment you opened your trunk and discovered you had forgotten the most important equipment for a ski trip must have been devastating. Appreciate it even more you kept the stoke and took us nevertheless on that trip. That could have been some nice turns on real skis. Unfortunately, these mini-skis are a real bummer, but it counts for sure!
hi James. so glad you got some turns in September .“mountains are medicine”. love it. also want to thank you for pointing me to Deorum. my poles and GoPro baskets just turned up. top quality gear and the best company ever - they accidentally sent me two sets of their GoPro baskets, which are super cool, and before I knew of their mistake they emailed me to let me know and encouraged me to share the extra bounty with my ski buddy, which I did. Bryan is well happy. thanks my man
Stoked you copped a set of Deorum poles. They've been well loved by me all summer and winter. I'll let the boys who run the company know you're jazzed about them.
Set the same goal glad you are also still going I hiked a total of 19 miles the other day with a 27 pound pack definitely the hardest one to get to yet hoping for a great start to the season so I can get some fresh pow in October.
Sick you're doing turns all year as well - I'm sure we'll have some easier to access snow in October. Heck, we sometimes have a half decent snow pack already
I've heard it's possible to see Mt.Rainier from Mt. Garibaldi, but so far no body has ever taken a picture of Mt. Rainier from there yet. I know you were close here, even if you weren't high enough, and it wasn't clear enough if you were. Congratulations for finding snow to ski South West B.C. in September!
I bet you could see Rainier from the top on the right day. Would be absolutely epic. I was too busy staring at the patch of snow to pay attention to the views.
so thankful you put a helmet on just was thinking 20 seconds ago about how important a helmet could be in saving your life if things where to go bad in a situation like this
I climbed Mt Garibaldi in 1979 or 1980 -- climbed from sea level -- it was pretty tuff in fog clouds and rain -- but still a fun memory 44 or 45 years later
That was absolutely the funniest thing I have seen this year, The decent was epic. Couldn’t stop laughing. I died a little inside when you first said you didn’t have your skis. The decision to forge forward the best you could was the right call. Hell yes those count. If you are standing on snow, with shit strapped to your feet, and the slide in some fashion that gets your ass down without breaking yourself- that in my book is skiing. ⛷️
I had a dream tonight. You were doing a singing gig at a bar. And I came by to say hi and to ride ski together afterwards. As you know, since it’s a dream, my time awareness wasn’t even making sense. I weren’t doing the math correctly. Even a super early bar gig usually doesn’t ends before 7pm. And, whistler is closed after 5pm. I knew it was a dream when I realized things like that didn’t make sense. That’s a one funny dream if you ask me.
🤣😂 surprised to see you in my comment section. I don’t sled, but huge thanks to all involved in building the hut. It’s pretty amazing that people are willing to spend time and money to keep others safe in the community. Excited to see what you get up to this winter Matt 🤟
Count that as skiing all day every day brother. "Skiing: the art of catching cold and going broke while rapidly heading nowhere at great personal risk. ~Author Unknown"
The fact your so deep in bear country in the fall in September hiking by yourself is honestly impressive, I hope you keep bear mase on you easily accessible for these videos brother, keep em coming, love the videos!
Just expand your terrain to the PNW and ski the Cascades volcanos...... You'll have the Palmer chairlift until August at Mt Hood, and hit up Rainer (Sunrise will stay open all year).
Man… if I had forgotten my skis I would’ve sat there and cried until I stopped feeling sorry for myself, then drive to the nearest drive thru and eat my way out of my depression then gone home.
Looks like having them on the right feet didnt help much, lol. Still very entertaining, and while it might not be good skiing(I mean who could ski good on those), it was definitely still skiing.

Driving an hour and realizing you don’t have the thing you needed is the most relatable thing I’ve seen on the internet all month.
I do it once every year... Skis and boots though. Still beating myself up over it hahaha
@@riseandalpine for me its usually something like tent pegs. I forget tent poles once but we made do.
It counts. But keep working hard with these great vids and you’ll be able to ski in Chile next August and September instead
That's the dream! The channel isn't quite there financially but maybe one day if I can keep growing subs!
@riseandalpine Or NZ. 40cms today and still a week to go in our season.
@@riseandalpine please don't. Flying planes and emitting loads of CO2 kills glaciers, and snow
You know it counts! Best damn end of Sept snow I've ever seen! What I want to know is how on God's green earth you can climb that mountain with those giant boulders dangling between your legs hahaha. Rock on my brother that beautiful pow is on the way! 🏔⛷
100$ is crazy

i think he wants to climb your boulders james
This totally counts. Congrats!
Thanks!
When you said I forgot the skis, I thought the twist would be - but hey I found 2 peaces of wood in the forest :)
That would have been awesome! Planks of wood might have worked better than the mini skis
Those mini skis suck because there's no ankle support. Even snow blades would have been better.
@@HawgRiderBClol
Yea the Alps will be fine for skiing in 2 weeks or so
That's is some quality September Corn! Next year bring your skis . . . .be careful, this could turn into a year around obsession. I just checked of my September turns last week . . . wrapping up my 25th year of skiing every month . . . in California. And . . .yes it counts!

Lucky
Jealous!!!
Isn't the glaciers melting? Does it stop melting in winter?
@@SUNNY4401 Yeah they stop melting in winter because its hard to melt something when its -20
@@YourrandomComrade Well, if there's no snow on top, ice can still evaporate or melt under the sun even if it's -20°C
I have been waiting 30 days to see September's snow film! Way to keep us hanging until the very last day!!!
Get geared up for a comeback. You really think I would let myself lose my streak on the mini skis :) :)
Hell yeah this counts for September turns! You can't put in all that effort for it not to count!! 😎👏 The Hollaback Girl slipping edit on the way down was GOLD!! 😆🤣😂
Glad you liked that sneaky little edit. Every time I get relaxed walking down loose rock I always fall
gotta say..
this is one of your best...
thoroughly enjoyed...what an adventure.
those ski shoes were the year end heros.
Stay Spicy brother. You certainly skied that September not-so-much pow. You hiked and earned those ridiculous turns and enjoyed the mountain along the way. Can't wait to enjoy your actual videos as mother nature brings her glory here soon.

Thanks Eric! Never a bad day in the mountains.
The snow‘s texture is satisfying for some reason
THe sun cups and color are super cool right!
Too funny dude 😂 We missed you on the Brandywine jumps! The glacier melted so much is was super duper chill this year
Can't wait to see that episode
This is why I love this guy 😊
I'll do anything for skiing Ed. Mark my words, I'll get on skis before October begins.
your dedication to turns is unmatched, Love It!!
Just a dude who loves the snow

Could it just snow 10 feet already.
even though you didn't get to ski in this video I'm glad you're still making content.
You can always count on me for a video!

Totally counts! I’m getting 24 months this weekend. I haven’t forgotten my skis, but I’ve forgotten my skins several times.
Skins always seem to run away 😂
We got our September turns this past Saturday. We got one more month left for turns all year. I can’t ever get enough……keep up the good work
Sick that you're doing it too! I couldn't let this mishap ruin my streak... Had a few extra days left in September to make it happen :)

Definitely an "A" for effort.
Phony for sure hahhaa. Still really itching to actually get on the skis. We'll see what happens next week ;)
Extreme mini moguls. Also thats the best september ski i think ive seen in a while. Usually its on grass or street skiing.
Happy to have found a patch of snow! Just wait for tomorrow and next weeks uploads. Lot's of crazy ski adventures coming down the pipe!

Anything for turns.
That was a hell of a hike. Those "skis" are terrifying. Biofuel F-150 ftw.
Hike was worth the price of admission!
This is the quality content I’m here for lol! Looked like a great hike in any case.
Couldn't go wrong with the hike. Craving real turns!
That is the very definition of a "long run for a short slide".
Totally hahaha
Only uphill from here - SKIT FAST BABY LETS GOOO
Every day were getting closer!
Was just up at Coquihalla peak today....3" of fresh powder, some deep drifts, could have skied the meadows with rock hoppers.
Oh really? Maybe I need to check it out.
@@riseandalpine October?
you should own an ATV Quad -- in the east and west kootenays there is accessable snow by using ATV trails directly touching the snow - no hike needed
Did ya hear you weren't the only one who got a hefty donation. Sunshine Village is gettin' a new Bubble Chair!!! How 'bout that!
That's sick! Bubble chairs are the best.
Just expand your terrain to the PNW and ski the Cascades volcanos...... You'll have the Palmer chairlift until August at Mt Hood, and hit up Rainer (Sunrise will stay open all year).
Good intel! I'll hit up some of those spots next year. Rainier Sunrise is such a good summer spot and I had no idea until I went hiking there.
Dang, I was SURE you were going to find a pair of skis in a corner of that warming hut.....and a pair of boots close to your size too! 😃
If only eh!
Man… if I had forgotten my skis I would’ve sat there and cried until I stopped feeling sorry for myself, then drive to the nearest drive thru and eat my way out of my depression then gone home.
Had the mace on my hip the whole time. Bears are out in full force right now!
It absolutely 🦆 counts!! 👍⛷👍🎿
Cheers!!🍻
Yeehawww! I still won't sleep right until I get in my real skis. Less than one day to go before October :)
Siiick! Have they made any progress on the ski resort they’re building up there? I saw the old gondola structure in one of the clips.
It's been completely halted. Not sure on the history but it would have been pretty damn cool.
100% counts. September Skiing accomplished my dude! 😊😂
Thanks! Still bummed about forgetting them. I've still got time!
Saw you at Seymour today hahaha . Crazy you’re still finding snow, great video
Right on! Always finding snow :)
Those Lenticular clouds over your right shoulder at 8:06!! 🤤Another great vid
Just googled what a Lenticular cloud was. Epic eh!
Rad little adventure!
Thanks bro!
The amount of snow you’re about to see this winter truly boggles the mind.
Knee deep is coming soon!
Went to Chile 🇨🇱 early sept . I was stoke and thought of you
So jealous!!!!
RAHH SLOVENIJA OMENJENA🗣🗣🗣‼‼‼
Not sure if being out there solo is a great idea James! FYI try balancing on just one short ski. Will make a difference
I got trip plans & a sat phone, so about as much risk as your normal everyday hike. With sun cups that large, no mini ski could survive!
its about to start snowing in fairbanks alaska, i guess you have to come up here now 🤷♂️
The goal has been accomplished LETS GO🗣🗣💯💯
Yehawwww! Really feel like I need some redemption on my real skis though.
You are the best!
Keep going!
Thanks!
Really enjoyed you singing Touch Me lol
Had to distract myself from those ski blades
i saw that spot with the pond earlier and it looked like such a fun spot
The pond skim was so good!
My man gets after it!
Gotta get back in the real skis
@riseandalpine soon brother. We will be sliding down the alpine soon!
All video I was wondering, how are you supposed to stop at the end of the slide
There ain't no stopping on these weird skis hahaha
