Just wanna say that these guides recently have been absolutely firing. Such high quality content and yet so underrated. Would love be able to ski with you sometime soon. Keep up the good work!
Great video!! Very informative . I am here at Whistler for the first time on a family vacation.There are 6 of us ages 10 to 68. We hiked up to Flute Bowl and dropped in at Flute Shoulder. We had a great time and I felt confident after watching your guide. Thanks!!
You're recent guides have been unreal dude, keep it up! May I suggest adding some timestamp or whatever it is that show each section of the video. I was gonna send this to my dad to check out some lines but he can't really afford a whole 22 min video but he would know how to skip to the lines and your descriptions. Not only is this some quality entertainment but this is pretty much the only detailed and knowledgeable videos of the great skiing at whistler on YT.
Hey Willem, Thanks for all positivity! RU-vid includes time stamps in some of my videos but it usually takes the algorithm time and I can't add them manually. Let your dad know that I've included time-stamps in the description below so he can easily skip to the Flute Bowl Main, North and Lesser Flute Maps. I'll be posting a blog post with all of the Flute maps as well. If you haven't checked out the riseandalpine.com website give it a look. I've got all my whistler guides and maps in writing on the website! It's easier for someone to consume with a busy schedule. Cheers!!
Love it there and completely agree, I'm about to shred some east coast ice and enjoy the outdoors. I sharpen my edges every time I go lately, skiing a glacier beats couch surfing any day!
Great as usual. The gift of this video is the specificity in where and how to find the locations and lines. Similar videos say 'ya we're here at such and such Spanky's line...' meanwhile I need to know exactly how to find it! Thank you!
I’m going to be visiting Whistler for the first time the second week of May. Enjoying your vids and hoping there’s a lot of quality terrain still open at that time
looking down on Cheakamus lake is unreal, so many epic spots in Whistler, haven't skied the the back of Blackcomb or Whistler yet, or even Creekside but can't wait .. keep up tha vids ! burnt pancakes n views haha
I can't comment on how those pancakes taste. I'm sure they hit the spot after that hike. But the background views were better than anything I've ever seen on any cooking show. I'll be there between March 5-12. I 🙏for some freshies. Your positive energy in these videos regardless of conditions puts the stoke meter off the charts. 👍
Absolutely astounding!! Now, first..........is there an easier way for me to get to those pancakes?? B-w-a-h-a-h-a-h-a!! I should call myself "Rise & Recline"! (That hike you took was such a great combo of Heaven and Horror (the snow conditions). Amazing! And I don't know exactly WHY-----but your antics in that chorus of "I LOVE it but I HATE it"---followed by that ancient black and white sequence of that guy saying the same thing (where did THAT come from?)----for some reason just cracked me up so completely, that I had to press 'pause' while I practically spit my coffee out! Your crazy sense of humor is SO MUCH like my family's was, that it's like sitting back at the old breakfast table with my Dad (sadly long deceased), who shared that type of bizarre humor exactly like yours! LOLOLOL!! Anyway! That scenery around the "Flute' area and the close-up views of all those chutes,, etc. were a real treat for me,, since my sister's and my 2-week 'Rainfest' at Whistler, 'way-back-when, could have been held in a rain-forest for all we could tell! when WE went up to admire the scenery! Such a beautiful environment. However----I do have to say----that the sight and sound of your skis as they 'skipped' down the mountain---arrggh---left something to be desired. (Like snow!) Last thought.........I wondered how long it took the Whistler/Blackcomb detective squad to complete a chalk outline of the victim of that 'Hot Sauce Serial Slayer', who left such a scary, bloody body outline to mark the slaughter of some poor unsuspecting skier, who'd almost made it to the top!RU-vid
Glad you love the wacky! Still unsure why I had to cook pancakes... Tasty tho. If you like this check out the time I cooked a salmon on Blackcomb ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-B4HgVsVok5I.html
Whistler is in need of some snow!!! Flute shoulder looks like a good run on a pow day - can you show us again when it’s better? :) Awesome video! 8 month old pancake mix must have been interesting haha! No hot sauce on them tho? 😏 I do find it so crazy how the village height of the place I’m going in France, is higher than the Flute summit!! Are the nightclubs open again in Canada yet?
As much as I love hot sauce I couldn't help but save the integrity of my pancakes. Nightclubs have finally opened with a mask-on while dancing policy. This will be interesting 😂 😂 😂 😂
Enjoying your vids after my first trip to Whistler recently. I have to disagree re: booting vs skinning though. I decided to pull the skins out after a few years rather than hiking up. I’m an older bloke and a group of much younger and presumably fitter dudes unclipped and headed up. After faffing about a bit with my skins which hadn’t been adjusted for my new skis, I rounded them up pretty quickly and was up the top taking pics and having a snack when they arrived. Either way, a brilliant lap.
Hi! I'm coming to Whistler on Saturday for my first time ever, is there any chance you could show me around the mountain. I'm 14 and have pretty much wanted to come to Whistler my whole life!
Hey @Fo0tyheadd4 @blackcombgabu is right. Totally depends on the year. If you're in the market for POW then January or March have the most snowfall on average.
I hope u realize your videos 2-3 years down the road will contribute to every secret pow stash on Whistler and Blackcomb to be even more tracked out....just to get views and clicks...you gotta ask yourself is it worth it.Kook
