In this video I am walking on ice and you see me lonely ice skating on a black frozen mountain lake. You get to hear fantastic sound of a frozen lake, sound of ice cracking. Slow tv nature
I love how you make the most out of every season, the different weather, the wildlife encounters and the given amtosphere. Makes your movies very authentic, interesting and special ...
You captured all the eerie sounds of the ice as you first walked then carved it up with your skates. I had the great fortune to skate the completely frozen Lake Louise prior to the snows covering it for winter in the late 90s. I was a Eco-Tourism operator out of Banff and took some customers to the lake for an afternoon sightseeing trip. I always kept my skates in my tour van to pass the time away while the tourists walked around the lake. On this particular autumn day, the entire lake was smooth as silk and no snow cover at all. The winds coming off of Mt Victoria were a real test of my stamina as my thighs were screaming by the time I skated to the other end of the lake. The positive was I had a good tail wind skating back towards the Chateau. Thanks for the awesome memories. Your skate looked a little less taxing than mine!!! 😃
Thank you for your comment. The sounds really make it special, I think. It's fantastic to get the timing right, before the snow hides everything.... The wind can be a challange on bigger lakes :) Greetings, I'm happy I brought up good memories.
Excellent skating! 💝🏅🏆Especially on rough ice like this with all the bumps and ridges. Very Cool! You have to really be sure it won't break. Absolutely Gorgeous video- Thank-You 🙆🌞My skating adventure days are over so this is Very Nice. There is nothing else like it! Brave Onward! Cheers to you🥂 & Happy New Year 🎉 🌞🍀😎 ~
That looks so scary and if you fell through it is literally so deep. It almost looks like it's 50' like it's probably not but it looks so so deep I would be scared absolute that I wouldn't even go. On there
You're never a 100% sure. On these samll lakes, I drill a hole and from about 5cm thikness I step on it (keep in mind, maybe the thikness varies). I always carry two small icepicks around my neck and I have dry clothes in a backpack. And most the time, I'm not alone. Be safe, thanks for your comment.
@@paulingvar we don't do that here, because the lake is so small you can walk around it in about 30 minutes. I don't get to travel a long distance and the ice thikness is almost constant. So I do a spotchek.
