  • There’s a point where “steep” becomes “oh my god I’m falling down the side of a mountain”
  • @Waluigi_
    And GoPros make every thing look flatter
  • @nytimes
    "I'm scared now" does seem like the right thing to say when you're skiing down this mountain.
  • @Openwrt2023
    I consider myself an avid skier, but these guys are at the level I can't imagine possible. Wow.
  • @SgtJelly27
    Thats the freakin dream! Skiing the gnarliest line of your life with your bud, and going home safe and sound with one HELL of a freakin story to tell! Awesome!
  • @BrettMcNary
    Dear "The New York Times"......You don't EVER "tame" mountains. Sometimes they're just nice enough not to kill you. 
  • What they call "sluff" is what normal people call an avalanche.
  • @Toersk1
    “Am scared now” Dude I was scared before hitting play on this video
  • @tedoricha1
    And I was screaming on green route. Wow
  • @future4you
    I don't think the video really does any of that justice to how intense that stuff really is! I'm not say I've been there but, if I was it would be a state of paralysis frozen to that wall. They would be forced to come pick me up with the helicopter.
  • @90Ferd
    One of those clips that make you realize how boring life you have. These guys truly live to the fullest.
  • @1ironaut538
    That's the life I want to live someday, just riding the sickest of lines with your buds and getting paid. Sage and Ian are legends, and they inspire me to send it 24/7!
  • @rustysquire1895
    Seen a lot of skiing in my lifetime and that was some of the best - good job you guys
  • @scottklomps1916
    You guys are either crazy or lets say crazed...props to the pilot, he's an artist! These videos are very inspiring. Thanks
  • @nedimayvaz6536
    Dude, this is a thing only the best of the best can do, I have been skiing for about 5 years now and I also try some black slopes sometimes but that is next level. Huge Respect!
  • @Tmac327
    Both are such great guys and amazing skiers!!!

    4:18 "I love being in the mountains with you, man" that's what it's all about
