Kings Peak // Skiing Utah’s Highest Point 

Hearing you guys rag on Christoff is the best part of these videos. I am looking forward to the day when he gives payback. Hope you are healing quickly, Christoff!

Binge watched almost every one of your videos and there's sincerely not another hiking channel like yours! Keep up the amazing content!

Finally a MA video. It has been a while and it is a good one. Some of the zingers out of Danny’s mouth always impresses and draws some laughs. That is too bad for Cristof in breaking a hip. I could only imagine how difficult it must be to be taken to a standstill and for so long. Ouch! Be well soon Cristof. You are missed!

I remember summiting Kings when I was 14. A storm hit us on our way back to Henry’s lake where our tents were. We got caught out in the open and my hair started standing straight up, I have never been more scared in my life.

What a pleasant surprise for this Wednesday

It's a good day when there are new vids from this page. Bravo

Your level of sarcasm while in the mountains is perfect. We'd get along just fine.

Crazy how this peak is a "boring" peak for them. Living in Chicago I would be happy with anything 50 times less cool than this place...not a mountain for 100s of miles in any direction. Love living vicariously through you all!

Yay I always look forward to your videos. I wish Chrisof a full and speedy recovery.

Get well Christof!

Nice, a Blake mention. How's he doing? I miss the little complainer.

I've hiked King Peak in the summer, and the colors of those "hills" without the snow are AMAZING! It does look bland with them covered in snow and might I add a bit boring, but in the summer months without the snow, completely different.

Hope Christof gets better! If you're in need of some quality skiing, come stop by Washington, got tons of snow and more on the way! Some friends were going to ski Mt. Rainier this weekend but there's just so much snow that avy risk will be through the roof. Always lovely to see you guys pop up in my notifications, keep up the good work and fun times!

Sorry to hear about Christof's accident. Wishing him a speedy and pain-free recovery!

Great job, even greater inspiration and motivation!

Thank you for the video. Always great to follow along on your epic adventures.

Thanks for another great video, guys! Get well soon, Christof. So sorry to hear of your injury ❤️

It is great to have you guys back skiing in Utah!!! That is scary that Christoff broke a hip. Save some zingers for Christoff that way he gets better soon!

Thanks for the continued motivation! Hope Christof gets back at it soon.

Love the commentary as always! Wonderful video!

You guys make it look so easy

First time commenting here, but love your content. I have viewed every adventure and never disappoints. Thoughts and prayers to Chistof on a lame injury. Hoping for a full recovery and back to the air and normal activities.

Wow - we were thinking of trying Gilbert Peak this weekend, but it looks pretty bare. Glad your video came out when it did!

Missed you guys! Good way to start my weekend.

It’s actually really beautiful in the summer haha. Lots of lakes. The view to the south is really pretty.

The skiing actually looked quite decent, and the weather was absolutely gorgeous!

Would really love to see you boys in the Adirondacks of New York - a video doing the Great Range Traverse would be awesome. Not your typical hike you guys are on but I think I’d love to see it - I can be a resource if need be!

What a perfect day for it👌Nice video👍

Another great one.....and I learned to never use Danny's restroom.

Great film.

When you guys drop in to start skiing back down...the music gave me some serious Warren Miller vibes. Great video as always!

Wishing a quick recovery to Christof!

Full and lasting healing Christof!

I just got recommended this channel and Holy smokes this content is epic! I just recently made a video of hiking here in wyoming, but I need to hit Utah for sure!!!

Nice trip, awesome video, as always. Interesting to hear your Dynafit stories. I snapped a heel piece last season, first run of that season, radical SL. Hello Voile straps. Moved to ATK. Keep on keeping on. ‘Heel’ up Christof.

Did a marathon with skis to talk smack about the mountain and Christof 😂, loved it!

Missed you guys.

It's crazy how much snow we didn't get this year

Back at it. Christof, get better.

Great film. Hard day. Well done Amateurs.

Sure, Uintas may not be as "dramatic" looking as Wasatch, or Tetons, or Sawtooths....but their beauty in my opinion is more understated. We went there in Sept and fall colors were amazing, as well as the huge valleys. Of course we were not on a clock to hoof it to the peak and back, so we "smelled the roses" more perhaps....

More content please! Keep killing it.

Ahhhhhhhhh you’re back

Great video guys, that place looks epic, atb Mick👍

True kings of the mountains!

Snarky, sarcastic MA is my favorite MA! Thanks guys!

So sorry to hear about Christof, that's a bad injury for such a young and healthy man.

Broken hip?? Ouch! Beautiful open sunny sky!! I needed to see this, its been a snowy winter on this side!!!

Yessss... it's been a while. Midweek motivation ✌️✌️

Bon courage Cristophe !

What a great comedy show

I don't know what you guys have planned for the summer but if you aren't doing anything international, you should come try Mount Shasta. It's a phenomenal climb and the routes are so diverse in their technical challenge! Highly recommend either the Sargent's or Cassaval Ridge route!

Some of the best vids around. What do you all have planned for this summer?

Cool new music 🎶

truly KINGs

Yo so dope! Would love to do this

A lot of work on this one .you earned this to.good job.

Reminds me of my spring solo summit of Kings many years ago! But I did it in 3 days.

This is really cool, I wasn't sure if I'd ever see another attempt on this one from you guys. Considering how grueling the last attempt looked, and my own experience doing kings, you kept the video tone really chill! Ragging on christof is just vicious! The poor man's cripped

fell better soon Christoff

Redemption 💪

looks like a “chocolate chip” spring ski. thanks for new content! question: what is the blue hoody you’re wearing in this one?

Reminds me of Wheeler Peak, the highest point in NM. Not a prominent peak, but Wheeler does have some nice views!

Enjoyed your sense of humor. You shoulda been an R & D engineer for DynaFit. Your critique of that crampon fitting was probably more damaging than 10 bad YELP reviews!

thanks for the vid!!! although you are not a fanboy of the Uintah's you have to admit that a day with no one on it??? what a day!

I honestly don't get it. I have been watching for several years now. You guys are obviously expert skiers, in insane shape, travel the continent and world to some of the most beautiful places ever seen, have wonderful sense of humor (often while suffering significantly), and are living life large as adventurers. Bored by the highest peak in the great state of Utah! Sirs I have a declaration. You are neither mediocre nor amateur.... So glad Christof has recovered completely, I am sure he missed being there. Careful Danny, he may just get you back there again... just for fun!

fun and fun

I have always enjoyed the Uintas in their own way. More for the wildlife and fly fishing. Red castle is probably my favorite spot. I have seen some pretty big moose in the area. I would certainly rather go up to the wind rivers but the Uintas are a good little getaway.

The kings on King peak.

👍👍

Dang it! Christof!

Great video boys! Will there be a Europa trip this year?

Great video! What bindings DO you recommend (for this type of mountaineering/skiing)?

What the Uintahs lack in drama they make up for in distance from the road.

Finally kings

I'm with you guys. Born and raised in Utah but I've always found King's to be a bit underwhelming and kinda ugly. I know other peaks in Utah aren't as high but they are more dramatic and beautiful and I'd much rather be there. Thanks for the vids, keep posting!

I need to learn how to kick turn with my BC skis on.

Speaking of injuries (Poor Christof). Danny I have always been interested in learning about your "training regimen." As in how much skiing, running, vert training, strength training, etc you do on a weekly basis. Do you take days off? How are you holding up in regards to injury prevention/management? Cheers.

Another video from Mediocre Amateur! Best day of the week! 😃

Sorry Cristoph! I broke my ankle on the last day at Sun Valley this Easter. Rode the Tobaggan of Shame!

Best to cristof

Get well soon Kristof! Glad to see the Mediocre Amateurs are still alive and well!

Hey Danny , how about a video about how you all know each other? Maybe a little background on yourself and your buds?

Wow we need more snow.

Redemtion!

I'll be going to try and hike Kings Peak this weekend. Since it's been a month do you think the trail is hikable without skies around this time of the year? would love to hear from anyone seeing this

I saw many of your videos but still struggle to recognise which is which :)

oh, never broke my dynafit bindings - didn't even think about having a weak spot there...

What a weird experience - was lamenting the absence of your signature music, and up comes this commercial for Creede Boutique using the same damn music! WTF? Did sound like you snuck a little of that in at the very end....anyway, I spent a lot of time in the Uinta Basin working as a geologist on drill sites around Duchesne and Roosevelt, and some work west of SLC....and that damn Kings was just always looking sooo inviting...used to just stare at that peak for hours....just never either got the chance, or made it a priority more like, to actually climb it. Also interesting that despite the length, the northern approach is preferred....I know there IS a way to do it from the south, but it must not be much fun from what I can tell. Funny that I have done a ton of climbs and skiis in Colorado where I live, but the two peaks that I most want to do is Kings and Deseret. Deseret is cool just being out there in the middle of the desert I guess...anyway, nice video, especially after that debacle a couple of years back...did not know there was EVER zero wind up there! Hoping Christoff is on the mend....I nailed my hip countless times telemarking on hardpack, skateboarding and mtn biking, and now in my relative old age that left hip is trash. Those things tend to catch up with one years later....Peace.

Keep up the great work. I also give this channel my "first view must be on a TV" because the phone screen doesn't do it justice.

What bindings are you using/are your favorites? I got Dynafit Rotation bindings earlier this year and am currently loving them, though that could change when I have more miles behind me.

Sorry to hear you're a man down, broken hip, did Christof leave your protected valley and suddenly age 3 decades?!? Hope his recovery goes well and goes quickly. You guys can tell him you took the hit for him today: this looked like a total slog...

3:59 looks like a sticker never got taken off the sunglasses lens, would drive me nuts

Slaked the thirst for a new MA video

I am a big fan👍 Anyone here familiar with backcountry skiing in Sierra Nevada? Visiting LA with family in late may and have been granted 2 days off to get some turns in the Sierras. But being from Sweden I have no local knowledge other than Leavitt Peak looks cool on RU-vid. Anyone with some good tips?

Christoff did f-ing WHAT? And on WHAT? Interesting how things like that seem to happen when we are taking our foot off the gas...WOW!

Hi fellow amateurs :) what model ski trab's are that? love the set-up! moved to the F1 Lt's too and now looking for lighter ski's (on the black crow orb's with ATK's)

Hey, where did you guys get the water bottle holders that are on your pack straps?

that's me on the highway with cruise control on.
