I parked beside your CamperVan this morning at Revy and was hoping to meet you..Next time perhaps..I love watching you destroy those tree runs. No Fear and I am sure grinning from ear to ear!
I rented a Karma Camper in April for a Banff and Jasper trip. It was a great van. Super comfy, huge bed, all the necessities and the furnace was excellent to keep warm inside. (The furnace runs off the gasoline tank so there’s no messing around with propane or other fuel). An excellent camper van set up. ⛷️🏔️😁
You know I was all smiles when I saw your new wheels James. Thanks to Karma camper vans for keeping the show on the road. Now you've got no excuse not to hit the Island for a trip to Washington and Cain.
Been an early subscriber from your first season out, so happy to see you work with brands like Karma. Because they supported you this way, I’ll make sure to book our next road trip with them, huge respect and wishing you the best this season.
Dudee, I found this channel a few days ago trying to get my mind ready for the season. Love your videos man keep it up, your energy is awesome. Got me looking forward to my trip to Whistler in February.
OMG James I'm so proud of ya! camper van life is insane. its been a pleasurer watching your channel grow over the years living the ski life vicariously though your channel. I am here for the ride 100,000+ subscribers by the end of the year lets f-ing go baby 🤘
I see these vans all the time in and around Banff and Canmore. I thought they were a tour company! I'm glad to hear you can rent them! Awesome, man! You deserve the sweet ride!
Woohoo, Christmas has come early James. I am delighted for you, thank you Karma Campervans for helping James. I was amazed by the amount of people queuing for opening day, wow! What a fantastic pow day too. Thanks for sharing James
OMG! That was quite an opening day. So much great energy. Kudos to Karma vans for lending you that great camper. Glad global warming is giving us all that great powder. Sending you love.💖
Congratulations, James, on your Sprinter, enjoy! Kudos to Karma for helping you like this. On another note, when I was your age I thought life at my present age was as good as over. I'm happy to report that one can transition from hard-core overnights in a line-up and sleeping in pickups to staying in nice hotels with beautiful spas and great restaurants and continue to really enjoy life. You've got a lot of great years ahead of you. Be sure to spend some of those years in the Alps. The Europeans are crazy good at helping one enjoy the finer aspects of life.
Didn't realize Ford was making Sprinters. Stoked for you though. That Transit van looks fully loaded. Can't wait to follow all your adventures this winter.
The Kokanee Kid does it again... "You can give the hillbilly truck camping man a Sprinter van, but you can't take the hillbilly truck camping, uhhh man, out of the man, you know?" - Words to live, and to shred by.
@@riseandalpine U ever seen those power banks? Wut the van has for electrics? An Ecoflow or something might be handy while you're docked. 'specially cause you're running cams, n puters, n shits.
Stoked for ya brother! Reminds me of Revvi opening day about 10 years ago, we had 4.5m of snow that year. Was waist deep on the ENTIRE hill. Those glades are a dream to ride through. Still have never had a day quite like that since.
Awesome to see you got hooked up with a van for this winter. Hopefully you will announce a few days in advance where you will be skiing the USA. It would be fun to take a lap with ya.
James im so happy for you that they gave you a van to use!!!!! how badass is that!!!! so cool to see ya out there having an absolute blast!!!!!! I hope to be skiing in about 2 weeks or less!!!!!!! keep shreddin big dog!!!!!!!!!
Another great video and congrats on scorring that van. Good for Karma and good for you. Win/win. On a less positive note those crowds are insane. Same with Whistler . Folks reading this should look at his Castle video or just come to Apex where it is deserted midweek
Dude they are so nice. Easier than packing all your gear in and out of a hotel every morning & you can be 100% flexible. Let me know if you want a discount code for booking. Happy to hook you up.
I have a small RV/Van and used it for skiing last year and it was great. I’ve got another trip in California/Oregon planned in the Spring (on my way home from Baja) but will then likely sell it so will look in to renting with Karma here and there. I hope that’s what others do as well and they’ll see the benefits and keep working with you. Enjoy!
Sounds like you had some real good times in the RV/Van. It's super nice to just rent and not have to do the maintenance! Let me know if you want a discount code for booking. I'll hook you up. DM me on instagram.
Love the content. Even as a boarder seeing you travel and skii is too fun. Slamon arm fan here. Your making me wish i was at reve this year but my buddies are hitting silver star.
Congratulations on both the van and the pow day! Back home I definitely had to work a little harder for the powder (still worth it though, my line from Sunday I honestly expect you to repeat once you see it, stay tuned 😀) Being able to chase the snow like that is awesome. I try to do that a couple times a year but without a camper setup it definitely gets a little spendy 😅 Bet you'll enjoy a lot more pow days with that at your disposal
Bahaha the pain drain! We call that the icebox, there is a way to avoid it - and go straight back to the stoke chair, maybe I'll show you one day! Thanks for the video of my hometown resort, just wish i could have been there too!
James, brother, I gotta tell ya, after looking at the Karma website, you scored with what looks like an honest to goodness solid van rental co. When we were looking at rentals for our cross country jam, the prices were exorbitant. Was gonna be over 8 Gr for 2 week stint. Bought one instead.

DUDE! This is so amazing I'm so happy for you! Looking forward to seeing you venture across the states as well! I would love to see you check out the Mt Baker ski area, crystal mtn and alpine meadows in Oregon! Cheers you deserve all the luck!
Glad to see you finally experienced a day of PoW! In Revi. Awesome Van too. We're those Nordica Enforcer 114 Unleashed you were charging the Hill with? Keep up the awesome content ✌️Out
Studs. I 100% agree with your comment. I wish rental companies would outfit their vehicles with the best Ice tires, just for their own piece of mind, if for no other reason. I've almost sent rental vehicles over the ravine, just due to the shit tires they leave on 'em year round. Serioulsy, I almost went full send after narrowly avoiding a rear ender coming back down out of White Water. It suk'd balls, damit. I have studs on my compact Front wheel drive car at home, and All terrain tires on my 4x4 tank, and I prefer the studded tires, over the all terrain with 4x4 on, 100% of the time, in slick conditions. Deep snow and sludge is another story, but on black ice & hardpack, the studs still lend confidence to steer, or brake, and the vehicle and stay under control.

EPIC.
you deserve it mate for the stoke you share , enjoy
Awesome you have a mobile home, here is a few bucks for some more beers 🍻
Respect to this guy🤝
That's like a case of beers in CAD 🍻
100,000+ Subs by end of season, I'm calling it
That would be pretty incredible!
You already doubled up from a year ago to the moon from here!
Revelstokes got a homeless problem lol in the lift line lol😂
Seriously!!! The city needs to figure it out!
I parked beside your CamperVan this morning at Revy and was hoping to meet you..Next time perhaps..I love watching you destroy those tree runs. No Fear and I am sure grinning from ear to ear!
I gotta say... it's so amazing to see a brand like Karma reach out to a RUclipsr with 37k subs. That's amazing!
Super Amazing!

Thanks so much!

Seems like Revelstoke saw your ski resort ranking video from last year and took it personally. It served you up an absolute treat!
Totally hahaha

Such sick rentals. Cheaper than a hotel & rental car combo by a mile. If ya ever want to book fire me a DM and I'll send you a code.
Just figured this dude out yesterday, and I can't stop watching his vids. So stoked for this year!!
Welcome to the channel!
Every Skier's dream. A go van! 😊

That transition sounds pretty damn sweet! Excited for all the years to come.
Didn't realize Ford was making Sprinters.
Stoked for you though. That Transit van looks fully loaded. Can't wait to follow all your adventures this winter.
At this point the "Sprinter" is so ubiquitous it's akin to how people call tissues "kleenex" lol
My bad. It's a transit van. Just figured it was kind like "kleenex"
Revy is the best!!! Thanks for the great video.
I am so happy for you, James! This will be a winter to remember. The skiing will be fantastic and now you have the van!
It's going to be such an amazing winter
you absolutely deserve that van I am so excited for you. revlestoke looks incredible😍😍😍
Thanks Jordan!
Let's go! Road trip to north Carolina. The powder is so deep here
Very tempting hahaha

Stoked for you! Hopefully more sponsors will start pouring in, you deserve it!
Thanks brother
Congrats! The van is so well-deserved for you! Also,, I'm astonished people camp out at the lift line. What dedication!
So hard core. I love it.
Hey man you are a big inspiration to me and please keep up the good work cause I always have a great time watching
Thanks so much!
You need a "no way" and "ya buddy" counters in the corner. What a great time!
We gotta get that going hahaha
Look at me. ✌👀 You are the captain now...
😆 References are awesome. Keep up with references. I love reference spotting.
Love that you always spot em'
Those glade laps were insane, your ability to find untouched runs no matter what resort your at is awesome haha, STOKED!
Got that powder sense
Stoked for ya brother! Reminds me of Revvi opening day about 10 years ago, we had 4.5m of snow that year. Was waist deep on the ENTIRE hill. Those glades are a dream to ride through. Still have never had a day quite like that since.
That is Insane. 4.5 meters?? Mental
OMG all the tents ready for the opening 😂
Such a unique event! Only real ski fans can do it 🗿🍿
Totally hard core Canadians!
Awesome to see you got hooked up with a van for this winter. Hopefully you will announce a few days in advance where you will be skiing the USA. It would be fun to take a lap with ya.
Would be a blast!
James im so happy for you that they gave you a van to use!!!!! how badass is that!!!! so cool to see ya out there having an absolute blast!!!!!! I hope to be skiing in about 2 weeks or less!!!!!!! keep shreddin big dog!!!!!!!!!
Thanks bro! Super stoked about it.
Glad you had a great day in my hometown man!
Safe travels, ski you around one day!
SKi ya around! What a place to live
Yeeaahhh!!! This is awesome! So pumped for you!!!
Thanks Nate!
"You can always trust a dude in a bathroom"...... loooool!!!
Of all your quotable quotes, I think that one takes the cake.
A urinal chat is a sacred space
When too much stoke is barely enough. That was epic. Stoked for you getting the van and hope this is just the start of bigger things.
Thanks Mark!
So happy for you to get the van bro, hope things keep going your way.
Thanks Nick!
You deserve it man, your videos are great and I'm stoked for you.
Thanks Chris.
New van looks great cant wait to see the content you push out.
It's gonna be sweet!
can't wait to see you in Colorado!
Super stoked to check out America hills!
love the dedication, always happy to see an upload
Thanks!
SO COOL! I Just did my FIRST skiing of the season on black friday while my family was shopping! SO happy that the ski season is here :)
Skiing is way better than shopping! You got your head screwed on straight.
Absolutely love the van and the pow so sick
Thanks Kristina!
You deserve it dude - hammering out great content like you do.
Love the channel bro….from a boarder.
Appreciate the love brother! Always means more from someone who rides sideways :)
Gee I miss Revvy……been too long! Well done Crusty. New pie van and your away ✅
Crusty has a new ride!
Awesome ride !!!!
⛷🔥
The absolute best
Another great video and congrats on scorring that van. Good for Karma and good for you. Win/win.
On a less positive note those crowds are insane. Same with Whistler . Folks reading this should look at his Castle video or just come to Apex where it is deserted midweek
It was busy for sure for Opening. The last few days have been super chill though!
Congrats on campervan. Happy trails!
Thanks David!
Awesome man stoked to see the adventures !!!
Lot's to come!
Let's go with the van!!😂
So fun!
So much room for activities!
:)
great opening.meditation sounds....and awesome for you to get that sweet Karma Campervan.
So grateful for Karma
@17:24 imo the best part, skiing on freakin treetops, beautiful lil piece of the mountain.
So fun :).
Definitely going to check out these campervan rentals, such a great alternative to renting a car AND getting a hotel room for whenever I visit BC
Dude they are so nice. Easier than packing all your gear in and out of a hotel every morning & you can be 100% flexible. Let me know if you want a discount code for booking. Happy to hook you up.

I love revelstoke, even though I've only skied 3 days there during the heatwave/drought of last season. Looking forward to a pow filled year🤟
Revy is so wicked!
So happy for you man. You deserve it!
Thanks Oliver
Looks sweet dude! Happy shredding!
So damn good. Thanks dude!
Love the content. Even as a boarder seeing you travel and skii is too fun. Slamon arm fan here. Your making me wish i was at reve this year but my buddies are hitting silver star.
Thanks so much! The star is a great sport too.
those trees 😍
Perfect!
Dude, smart. Everyone goes right…you went skiers left…looks like the right move!
Might have not been the steepest choice, but a totally untracked resort lap is insane! Worth it.
Awesome van!!! Gotta hit Revy soon, just hit Fernie opening weekend! Awesome day! May need some hot sause for opening castle weekend! 🎉🔥
Castle opening should be wild!
C U Next Friday. Sawcy...
Wow those tree runs look insane, nothing like that near yet banff that’s for sure. Kick ass bud
Such a cool moment!
The Van is Awesome
Such a dream!
So glad to see you living the dream 😂❤🎉
So grateful for this life
Well done 😊 things are starting happen for you.
That engine light on your Truck was starting to worry me.
Don't let it worry you too much. It's been on for 3 years hahaha
what a van😍
My dream!
Let's go boys!
Yoooooo!
Great job and congrats on the new ride. Had to get out my translator app when I heard you guys speaking Canadian-eh😂
Aw f**k yeah, eh bud. Let'er rip.
Hahahhaa gotta love when a few locals get chatting
Congratulations on both the van and the pow day! Back home I definitely had to work a little harder for the powder (still worth it though, my line from Sunday I honestly expect you to repeat once you see it, stay tuned 😀)
Being able to chase the snow like that is awesome. I try to do that a couple times a year but without a camper setup it definitely gets a little spendy 😅 Bet you'll enjoy a lot more pow days with that at your disposal
Excited to hear about/see your line! Gonna hang out in this now paradise for a little while LOL. Things look warm in Whis.
@@riseandalpine yeah weather sadly gets warm and probably rainy for a little :(
I might need to find my own road trip for the weekend 🙃
Great video dude!! You VERY LUCKY!!
So lucky!
first day on skis for me in the east
AND A NEW RISE AND ALPINE VIDEO?!?!
ski fast and burn ass indeed
Let's goo. Hope you had a sick day.
@riseandalpine i had the sickest day. Face got a little chilly so had to pick up a gaiter and some ski sauce for my next turns
Fernie opened few days ago you need to take that van up here and it's good riding
Next stop: panorama opening on december 6! (Would be cool)
Would be sick!
Immacualte vibes bro! Best of luck to you. I'll be in Whistler late February. Can't wait!
Thanks Benny!
Wild to see revvy with tents in line, I went for opening day 2 years ago and it was way snowier and nobody camped out like this.
Too funny. Not sure how this whole camping thing started but it's hilarious.
Bahaha the pain drain! We call that the icebox, there is a way to avoid it - and go straight back to the stoke chair, maybe I'll show you one day! Thanks for the video of my hometown resort, just wish i could have been there too!
Learned of that exit when I followed an instructor one time; love skiing down creek beds though, I don't mind the pain :P
A way to dodge it! You will surely have to show me :). It also is kinda fun though if it's soft!
@@riseandalpine late season can actually be a blast too, it fills into become a fun mogul halfpipe that you can just fly though
James, brother, I gotta tell ya, after looking at the Karma website, you scored with what looks like an honest to goodness solid van rental co. When we were looking at rentals for our cross country jam, the prices were exorbitant. Was gonna be over 8 Gr for 2 week stint. Bought one instead. This outfit looks like they price very fairly, and they offer 4 wheel drive units. Jah bless.
Camper van for victory. After having driven across Canada in a Winnie, I'm so jacked for you. We also had the pleasure of using a camper van on our last Europe trip, and it just makes road trips so much more cozy. This is a huge upgrade from Truck bed camping. Naps can be a thing, again. When you set up, always remember to tear down completely, or you'll hear the entire contents of your living space, crashing to the floor on your first sharp turn. Just picture the over head P.A. System "Cabin crew please cross check, and prepare cabin for departure.." It's very much like aviation. You'll develop a routine. Checklist doesn't hurt, either...
Dude! Packing things away was lesson number one hahahaha
Such a good company run by good people. Gotta love Canadians!
this is sick!
So sick!
DUDE! This is so amazing I'm so happy for you! Looking forward to seeing you venture across the states as well!
I would love to see you check out the Mt Baker ski area, crystal mtn and alpine meadows in Oregon!
Cheers you deserve all the luck!
Those mountains are all on the list for sure!
Congrats on the Van. Nice video.
Thanks Bob.
Great video jamz
Thanks!
Glad to see you finally experienced a day of PoW! In Revi. Awesome Van too. We're those Nordica Enforcer 114 Unleashed you were charging the Hill with?
Keep up the awesome content ✌️Out
Yup - the 114's are my go to ski
Merry Christmas guys 🤙
Merry Christmas!
What makes Revelstoke such a great mountain is that it's JUST far enough from any major airport that it's still (for now) mostly a locals mountain.
So true!
That first lap might be the best I've ever seen
Saw the 4 way flashers on the van in the background of the first take and hoping it was yours. Congrats! You may need some winter tires.
Studs. I 100% agree with your comment. I wish rental companies would outfit their vehicles with the best Ice tires, just for their own piece of mind, if for no other reason. I've almost sent rental vehicles over the ravine, just due to the shit tires they leave on 'em year round. Serioulsy, I almost went full send after narrowly avoiding a rear ender coming back down out of White Water. It suk'd balls, damit.

Awesome! They are equipped with winters so it will be able to handle storm driving.
Ciao Grande,I am happy for you.Andrew Italy
Thanks for tuning in from Italy!
mentioned it so many times but im going here with some friends and im itching to go looks awesome!
new haircut? looks fire
Same hair hahahah maybe just greasier from lack of showers
@@riseandalpine looked trim idk looks fire anyway 🤣 on the skiing grind with the lack of showers
You are my goat!!!!!
