Today's Episode is more in line with the original "LTAL" idea. That is, one complete run, traverses and all, on the legendary and iconic Alf's High Rustler, AKA High Boy!
I linked up with Grant at the end of the day after being in UT for three days, followed him out the High Traverse, and then followed him down a chalky and firm but ripping version of High Boy. I only got one run with Grant on this visit and it was a fun one, not about big airs, or tricks, just technical skiing in some tricky terrain.
Filmed at Alta early Feb. with Gopro 11 and DJI Osmo Action 3.

I appreciate that you included the entire high t in this

@sagePerspective Год назад

haha, I did cut out a tiny bit... the smoothest part... lol the bumps are better!

@loopghost Год назад

It’s reassuring that you get the cardio kicking like a normal human. You make it look effortless and it sometimes feels like you’re operating in different physics.

@sagePerspective Год назад

All about the conservation of energy for sure... but when its steep and chalky, it sure is some work!!

@jimtanguay4756 Месяц назад

Respect for you following him. He knew were he was going you just had to trust

@sagePerspective Месяц назад

hahah yeah you know it, wouldnt do that with just anybody but certain friends for sure.

@jbmason000 Год назад

This series is so relatable. Hard to identify with the giant lines of AK but all of us can relate to heading up with the boys (and girls) to yo-yo a great spot on our local hill.

@sagePerspective Год назад

Yes Yes that's what its all about! thanks for watching and appreciate the feedback!

@ThePowderskier9 11 месяцев назад

When you are showing a master class of skills, it looks easy. In reality, to ski it like that takes much finesse, strength and agility. Well done making a tough run look easy.

@sagePerspective 9 месяцев назад

Absolutely, thanks !

@mountainstomarshes8966 11 месяцев назад

Those high up skied out traverses are the trickiest shit on the mountain, hands down...skiing them at speed like that with all the little airs and bumps is about 1000x harder than it looks, freaking impressive lap.

@sagePerspective 9 месяцев назад

haha thats why I left it in the episode... its just traversing, but its high level anyhow!!

@Slider6294 Месяц назад

Yeah, that's some Indy 500 traversing right there...dang. Some blind corners a few times too where you absolutely have to know that line and what's there.

@MarkARebuck Год назад

The gopro effect makes things look less steep and less difficult than they are in reality. This lap looked very steep and very difficult, so... I can only imagine how many times I would have died trying to follow :-). Fantastic work. Keep these lap videos coming!

@sagePerspective Год назад

Thanks Hi-boy is a pretty good pitch for sure!

@kermit88a Год назад

Totally agree, thanks for posting. I too would have died several times following your line :)

@AndrewMcKean127 Год назад

Noimper hits is my new favorite term.

@sagePerspective Год назад

Noip noip!

Excellent series, thank you sir!

@sagePerspective Год назад

My pleasure! thanks for watching!

@smueller12244 Год назад

Dang!! I skied that run a couple weeks ago but I was solo and I didn't know you could continually pop those side hits ughhhh that looks JUICY!! Saves so much time to rip that ridge on the right side mid point of the traverse too another nice tip. Thanks for sharing.

@sagePerspective Год назад

You can if you follow Grant… otherwise good luck! Lol

@reddottx Год назад

So fun to see someone on RU-vid who knows what they’re doing. It’s inspiring. I’ve done that run a bunch of times, it’s great to have a new way to look at it. Thanks

@sagePerspective Год назад

It’s a good one and always changing depending on conditions! Pow is good but even chalky is fun

@willemspeed4413 Год назад

The sage HA! Is such a classic, reminds me of that Simpsons I'm in danger meme haha

@sagePerspective Год назад

it just happens!!! hahah

@fredrickrancour9687 Год назад

How could you not subscribe after seeing this masterclass? Way above my paygrade, but it does make you want to stretch your personal comfort zone a notch, each time you are out! Amazing skiing.

@sagePerspective Год назад

thats right man ! your on point, what its all about, having fun, pushing a bit, and hanging with the friends!!

@incand3nza Год назад

@sagePerspective Год назад

Summer will be tricky but may pivot to biking for the season!

@funv3188 5 месяцев назад

That is some Rodeo ride 😂 People are going down the mountain but not arround the mountain 😂 Nice ride 🎉 Also ski tracks everywhere under every Christmas tree 😂 No place for bears to hide anymore 😂 That all mountain is "black skull " run which requires good legs and a good helmets 😁 You guys ski Aces

@sagePerspective 5 месяцев назад

For sure on all accounts!

@mattheweroh6147 Год назад

Great run guys, wish I could ride like that

@sagePerspective Год назад

Thanks keep lappin!

@davidstepro7486 Год назад

Two guys that know the mountain intimately.

@sagePerspective Год назад

you bet!

@psychedeliccheese Год назад

One of these with Marcus Caston would be ALL TIME!!

@sagePerspective Год назад

The list of awesome people to follow is endless!! all comes down to who I cross paths with, but Marcus is on the list!!

@kylecarscaden3953 Год назад

great video...those hits on the side are def not easy at all. Nice work.

@sagePerspective Год назад

Some wild options on the side! Thanks Kyle!

@chrisashby32 8 месяцев назад

Ok that was awesome. I gotta hit those side hits this year.

@sagePerspective 8 месяцев назад

They are fun and form up differently each storm and year!

@greglee1465 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for showing me parts of the mountain I would never see! hahaha.

@colesmith4305 Год назад

That’s right by eagles nest. That zone is so fun only been to Alta once. Pretty sure I met you in the Peruvian tunnel at snowbird tho! Ur a dope ass dude 🤙

@sagePerspective Год назад

hhaha If you met me in the tunnel I was probably walking! I don't stand for standing around unnecessarily

@nickhexum01 Год назад

Never stop shooting these vids. I can't go heli skiing, but I can at least visit the resorts you ride with these guys (and gals) and ski the runs...without the big airs. 🤣

@sagePerspective Год назад

Glad you like em!! and thanks, Ill do my best but will have to pivot to biking for the summer months most likely

@naturalsettings7098 Год назад

@sagePerspective Год назад

a good one!

@shawneggers4484 Год назад

Gotta ask Sage, what go pro settings did you run there? That was so clear!!

@sagePerspective Год назад

sorry I missed this! most of the vid is shot on a DJI osmo action 3 in rocksteady mode which is a stablizer and is shot at 2.7k 24fps the very end skiing to the lift is on a gopro

@bradleybeckstead9674 4 месяца назад

Holy cow what a mogul fest!

@sagePerspective 4 месяца назад

Seriously

@wtffrank Год назад

Every downhill racer would benefit from doing laps on the High Traverse to learn how to eek speed out of the terrain (don't use race skis, rocks and stumps abound). The down side being that the actual runs on the face suck unless there is fresh snow. Nothing better than High Rustler, High Boy, etc with powder but pretty lousy once they slide it off. Head for the trees then....

@sagePerspective Год назад

Pump track training for sure

@rhodycom Год назад

Hey man what skis and ski width do u rock?

@sagePerspective Год назад

I'm on a prototype from Atomic right now I love the 115-117 width range, we are currently experimenting in that range.

@colter7300 Год назад

@@sagePerspective woahh! new bent? 😧 that sounds amazing. do you like them more than either the 110/120 or find that they are meh bc they don’t choose a side?
