Chamonix slackcountry is everything but slack || Topside ep2 

Great video! Ross is a Legend! He's been a long-term mentor of mine since I moved to Chamonix. He's very modest... he has actually skied nearly everything in the Mont Blanc Massif worth skiing. Great Guide also so you should for sure check him out if you are coming to chamonix. (P.s stoked my back made it into one of your videos! (skiing the Pain De Sucre b-roll. haha))

So you are actually riding, filming and then mounting and releasing a couple of days later? That's pretty freaking incredible!

Nikolai is masterful in creating atmosphere, suspense (!), and expectation in his short movies, seemingly without even trying. His video editing is perfectly aligned with sound and the perfect music track. Most of his movies tell similar stories of camaraderie in incredibly beautiful alpine settings where danger and death lurk in the background, a rock, a slip, or a wrong turn away. His apparently simple recipe evolved rather quickly over time the ability to pull the viewer's emotional strings in unique ways. I see many commenters on these pages be equally enthralled as I am. Nikolai, thank you for your art.

Nikolai, I hate your channel, it prob has some of the best and most well made content with great personalities ive ever seen on youtube. SO HOW COME YOU ONLY HAVE 100k subs 😭 what is wrong with people?! Your channel is so slept on and I show it to everyone I know in hopes u blow up. heres hoping for a good 2023 injury free and filled with awesome runs ❤

I just want to acknowledge how much of an incredible skier Nikolai is-he’s so low-key about it but these lines are MASSIVE

Nikolai, what the fuck. 5:10-20 is literally some of the best ski videography I've ever seen and you're cranking these out in DAYS???? Huge props to you and your team. Jesus.

The skiing is pretty incredible, as always. Thanks Niko!

I have been watching your videos non stop the past few days and I can say you just became my favorite RU-vidr ever. There us just something in your videos that are so good ! Keep making us dream even more !!

Hey Nikolai!!! I am just wanting to say that I love your content specifically, all my life ive been so into mountaineering and skiing and I didnt really think you could put them together living your dream and making a living off of it! You really have inspired me so much I am almost 17 and im pretty good but I would love to get even better to the point of good backcountry! I have always known I am doing something along the lines of the mountains and outdoors and the adranaline! You truly have locked in my dream watching your videos and I have had the most passion I have ever had in my life over something! You showed me that my dreams areant actually impossible so I cant thank you enough! Stay safe you wicked skiier much love Reed

I love your videos so much pleas never stop posting❤️ Your videos definitely deserve more attention

The sound design of the bit starting at 4:40 is awesome, the music coming in at 5:05 hits so hard. Another great video!

The only channel I have notifications for :)

Ryan Harris is a perfect music choice for that 🤞🏼 wonderful edit Niko! Love it.

If this doesn’t make you want to buy Norrona and Black Crows… idk what will. Must be happy sponsors.

To filming to skiing to the little details it’s all incredible very good job Nikolai

Dang your content is just so good - I love it, keep it coming

❤❤❤❤❤ putting this on my list of to-dos when I come back to Europe.

You just chose to send it on that run, looks amazing as usual!

I love the tension that is created in every episode, something that isn't always available with my hiking films and I'm not sure what to do about that as hiking doesn't usually have a steep descent in 30 seconds lol.

Another great one! What a treat its been having regular Nikolai releases! :D Amazing job from Jonas as well, as always! God Jul!

Incredible cinematography as always!

I don’t know how or why you don’t have a million subscribers. Keep going man this is amazing stuff

best YT content

man you are truly the inspiration for me starting my freeride journey. I am only 14, but feel committed to this goal. It is so incredible that you have all these sponsorships for gear all supporting what you love. I also have a love for cinematography and love what you do. If you have any advice or anything to say about my goals, I would love to hear it.

It's a good day at the office when a new video is put out. I actually got a bit of vertigo at 3:28. Made me remember being free.

SOOOOO dope to watch Joonas hit that run 🤙🏽

This is awesome to watch!

Another beyond Solid full send of a world class vid

Another masterpiece!

Great episode. I'm surprised you didn't milk another turn or two on that open middle face! That line looked so fun.

Great …as ever. And thank you to Black Crow for sponsorship

Love it mate 💪

Normaly i don't really comment on video's, but you make such cool content and edit your video's so well!

dope stuff chief

That‘s so nice! But watch out wirh those 360‘s with the mellow snow!!

Amazing!

I really enjoy your video. You bring your on soul into them and you deserve respect for that. Now that you are close to Chamonix, did you think about a classic steep skiing route ? Like Gervasuti, Mallory on aiguille du Midi or even couloir Couturier on aiguille Verte if the conditions are good ? Anyway enjoy your winter and thanks again for sharing.

Niko is not used to not putting in first tracks. Welcome to the Alps :D

I see Niko's video, i click, i press like and then i watch

amazing video have a good day from Chamonix

So sick.

beautiful!

Thumbs up for the filmers!

Amazing video, only one thing, if you are in 'the italian side of chamonix' you may as well call with its name, courmayeur, again epic video!

Love you so much Nikolai

Incredible as always! Do you each have a mavic remote in your pack and then trade off the drone between the two of you?

Joonas is a shredder

As others have said before, this has a super fun story arch, fantastic skiing, amazing footage and great editing... and it was made it in a little more than two weeks?! Mad respect for you and the team!!

I'd be super interested in having a guide for Chamonix, I live in the area but don't know enough about off-piste. Could I have more info for about this? Thanks a lot, incredible videos🤩

a collaboration between cody townsend an you would be incredible, even for one trip!

Soul turn at 5:05!

I see a Shirmer video, I click!

Tremendous

this was filmed on my birthday

Madness

Hey man do you have any Ancestors that are from Germany or do you know anyone form germany because my Dads Family is also Called Schirmer?! Awesome video as always

❤

nice

Double like!

I wish I could subscribe again

Great video, but please include more footage from the gopro as your going down like at 4.46. Its just so satisfying. Or make a separate youtube channel dedicated from that view.

What do you do when summer comes do you just stop posting for awhile or what?

Great Video! Whats the song 5:11 ?

Jealous guys, I guess I'll never be a topside boy.

Jealous

Adventure skiing is overrated. Relaxing at home with a cup of hot cocoa is underrated.

You and your powder.

im in chamonix now for 1 month but no idea what im doing... any instructors here willing to teach 1 adult 2 kids on one of the flat slopes in chamonix for 20 euros per hour.

hello

Great video again, thanks for it! Fun fact: You go South to ski, i'm on the way North. Opposites attract. ;)
