all the comments are people not living in the east coast. honestly the conditions look not bad it is backcountry terrain but enough coverage. us east coast skiers will have more skill always then west skiers. obviously powder is fun. we have those days too.
As a west to be east skier, just want to say that there are a lot of great skiers from the east though most west coast say they are better. I think that east coast trail ratings are very easy, but this is backcountry and it is very hard to
@@0xCUBE I mean I don’t see the problem with it… every person who skis an expert trail had to ski a green to start. And just because I started skiing younger doesn’t mean everyone else who didn’t ski when they were younger are barred from getting excited about the sport. If you are 20, 40, or 60 years old and just put on skis for the first time, don’t be rude, let them have fun too! If anything, be supportive, encourage other people to try skiing! We do it because it’s FUN, other people can have fun too!
As an actual old patroler you would go in with a first aid toboggan from the top and it would really easy with 20 feet of rope.if ud Evan bother because he's out of bounds. There's not enough snow and the trees are 2 dense for a snowmobile. Not evan an option.
@@jarastafaria3088It's so interesting the variety of attitudes amongst patrollers. On one hand some of them see themselves as EMS and like paramedics they'll do their best to help people in need. On the other hand there are people like you.
@@jarastafaria3088 THIS!!! This is exactly why I place disclaimers on all my newer backcountry videos, ski patrol may not help you if you’re stuck in backcountry! Not that I am trying to say you’re wrong for not helping me in this situation if I’m hurt, I totally understand, after all I’m technically not even in the resort in this video.
Paradise Cliffs? The top, where the cliffs are, is called The Church. I've seen some of your other vids. You're good enough to ski a lot of it, but you shouldn't be soloing upper Black Hole, or anything off the map like this. Get a friend or two to go with.
just got a taste of that myself at stowe... went alone hiking off the peak at spruce and ended up in the back country of smugglers... never alone again
To be honest, I agree with this. Best number to go with is 3, since 1 can wait with you, other can go get help if you get really hurt. Really, you shouldn't be skiing anything hard in the trees alone. Too much risk.
The only problem is that this is Nothing like Southern California or Northern California resorts where you can get in the trees and just let it RIP. Plus way too many rocks under the snow. You can't go fast... No Fun
@@ThatPinkSuitGuy @mybadvideos I love both of your videos keep it up. my 12yo son started a ski channel. ruclips.net/channel/UC-s8TVTH69kg1NEnF5SoguQ I created a monster and cant keep him out of the trees.
Everyone talks about how much easier west skiing is. Maybe on wide open powder runs but there's plenty of cliffs and chutes that take expert technique even with the powder. Picking your way down icy chutes might make for some skiing skill but certain conditions making skiing more difficult doesn't make it good
While your point is valid, it doesn’t apply to this video. This guy is not at all claiming that what he is doing is harder than all the skiing out west. He’s just showing off something difficult he did, which you can do without claiming to be the best skier or anything
@@ashassassin7153 I use a GoPro hero 7 white, but if I was going to buy a GoPro I’d go with a hero 11 black. It’s the same exact price, but the hero11 black is way newer, more capable, and just better. I made a pretty bad choice buying mine, BUT I’ve had it for YEARS and it’s still going strong! Basically, doesn’t matter, GoPro is an amazing brand, so just get what you feel is good from them, as long as it works it should be great!
This nice thing is if you can ski tight trees and hard pack on the east the west is like a soft pillow. The west makes you think your good. This type of skiing sorts that out. Take care
@@mtadams2009 The east has no choice but to make the best of a compromised situation. In the west, it is just way more fun, and that is what it is all about. Surviving an ice strewn trail isn't fun. I've done it many times. Skiing in good coverage is. It's that simple. Nothing personal.
@@easternyellowjacket276 I get your point but to be honest I have had some marginal conditions out west, especially the last twenty years. I have also had some incredible skiing too. The whole the east never gets snow and it’s always ice is complete f nonsense. Jay Peak has received over 325 this year alone and Killington about 200 so yes it snows. Last week we received over three feet and if you can’t have fun with that then there is not much I can say. We all can’t live out west but I still get 50 plus days a year and a lot of that has been very good. This is the year I should have gone to Alta or JH they have gotten hammered. My trip to Colorado was ok last year. There was no shortage of hard pack but we made it work. My last trip to JH was a complete shit show, rock hard and no snow to be had.
@@mtadams2009 One year back in the 90's when I skied at Squaw Valley for the winter, they had almost nothing until Mid January. So I get that sometimes they do have lean conditions out west. BTW, Jay Peak has not received 325" of snow, despite their outright lies. 352" would be 27 feet of snow. I know there are thaw cycles and rain events that will melt snow in eastern winters. Even taking that into consideration on non-snowmaking areas, there'd still be at least 10 ft still on the ground. And I've watched video in the glades recently of Jay Peak glades, and there is lucky if they have 2.5-3ft. It's a huge marketing lie on their part to get people to drive all the way up there.
That doesn't look fun. I grew up skiing in the West and love open tree skiing and open bowls or chutes. I think I'd be claustrophobic skiing in the East.
Not to be discouraging, but I think you're in over your head on a lot of these videos. You're not really skiing anything so much as picking your way down it, start-stop, start-stop, start-stop. Maybe you could run these a few times, get familiar with the line, work out your path, then record a nice smooth run? This literally looks terrible.
As a younger skier, I haven't had the time to lap many of these runs. But I hear what you're saying, and this coming season I already feel a lot more confident in my ability. I have done this run several times (this video was my first time ever doing it) and now I breeze through the entire thing and it is definitely better content. (I recorded that run just last week but the gopro died almost instantly which sucks but oh well, I'll get it again). But I definitely hear what you're saying, and if you look at the videos I make this season, I think you'll see a lot less of that stop-start action.
Ive skied Church about 10 years ago. What a great video
Fantastic video! Makes me miss the skiing season already! Went to sugarbush once last season. This will for sure be added to my bucketlist!

@@strubs16That really depends on the mountain.

I skied it Tuesday with 20 inches of fresh….😊
As an old patrol I can't help but think how much fun it would be getting a sled thru there.

Come ski Snowbird Utah. Cliff paradise.
Good skiing. I think it's a little more than my skill level, especially at the top.
Your Judy absolutely destroying your skis and acting like nothing happened😂
One man’s lemon is another man’s lemonade ⛷️
I’m gonna use this
you can actually hike the paradise glade ridge line all the way to castle rock
Awesome man. Grew up doing the Church need to get back out to Sugarbush.
the man who made the video doesnt even know what its called, and spoiled the location too 🤣
If the pom pom on my hat is catching tree branches I'm not having fun.
Looks so much like Sugarloaf
What other sport can you get such amazing views, and those views are just a secondary benefit of doing the sport? Skiing is the best
Love sugarbush but not seeing this to be an option especially solo
The only problem is that this is Nothing like Southern California or Northern California resorts where you can get in the trees and just let it RIP. Plus way too many rocks under the snow. You can't go fast... No Fun
The church is sweet. That cliff is called the alter. My Buddys dad dropped has dropped it
I still haven't hit "The Church". Good job getting down it.
Update: finally hit it!
Thanks, love your videos dude!
Same, today!
we should meet up sometime@@ThatPinkSuitGuy

Elevation 3812'. East coast do be hittin' different
Thats what i was just thinking, about the same elevation as my house, and I live in a valley with mountains 4000 plus feet higher on all sides

I use a GoPro

Cool video. I love steeps and trees, but this does not look fun at all lol
turst me it is
Where is this? Which state?
Sugarbush in Vermont
“Powder alley” bro what powder😂
So its just discount Mad river?
Bring a friend next time.
classic new england glade run haha
sketchyyyyy lol. be careful man, one wrong turn into tree or rock and no one saving you for awhile, if at all.
If you get a chance someday, get out to Palisades Tahoe from some real skiing. 😉

Most tree runs on the east are not that tight. This is actually not a ski area run.
