As a very long time skier, who tired snowboarding once and didn't care for it, i thoroughly enjoy your videos. Quality filming, editing and how you bring everything together. Well done, Johnathan.

Just so you know, those are 67% grade, not 67º pitch. Very very different. Still cool though!

Music has been on point this season with videos - things are feeling really well done this year!

Wow, very impressive skills, I wanted to begin with snowboarding, I searched it up on RU-vid and found this video.Good editing,good music and very good riding.I can clearly see how much time this took you, let no one stop, you‘re doing just great❤.

Europe ski resorts are insane! Look like a real good time.

It’s a whole new world of skiing over there!! So sick!

I bought my CLEW's this year and i'm so happy with them , the systhem works really well and i love the fact that you can use them with any boot ... they are really great

This has been such an amazing day of the tour 🤩 our personal highlight

Love ur videos bro, and im so happy to see that your channel is growing so much, just keep doing you and putting out amazing videos and itll only keep skyrocketing

Its so fun to finally see you ride all the runs that I usually ride

Another amazing day for the Europe trip! Looks like you had an amazing time at an amazing resort with TOP TIER views from the mountain. Glad you're having a great time!

Nice video guys. It’s funny when civilised people from North America see how we do lift lines/mosh pits in Europe 😂… as for riding the most extreme ‘runs’ the way it works in Europe is the really gnarly lines (like your black diamond shoots) are not listed on the trail maps, you need to buy a local ‘off piste’ guide book, (and some avi gear) or take a look at the fat maps app. Then you’ll find what you are looking for! Enjoying 😊

Have to admit Jonathon I'm jealous. You got a kush gig dude! Don't ever let it become just a job because there's lots in line waiting to be the next you. Your vids rock and thanks for helping me at age 58 become a better boarder bro,..Peace out!

Fun day. Will never forget

Welcome to Europe baby, welcome to Switzerland 🇨🇭! We are glad you have a great time!

Looks so gnarly. Hope you had a lot of fun.

20min Buckhouse video, heck yeah!

Damn that powder looks amazing not to mention the view!!!!

That is a crazy view

Terrific video Johnathan, that snow looked in good condition.

that looks like an incredibly fun day!

Great riding, views and all! Love that you keep it real! But gheeeeez, the best thing of this video was definitely the freakin’ Germknödel with vanilla and möhn!!!🤤🤤🤤 🤣😜 Happy shreddin’ 🤘🏼

just got back from my first switz trip, it was EPIC!! got lucky with a bluebird pow day and yeah the views of Zermatt were insane. Japow next season???? Europe for the views and the parties Japow for the pow and the food

I think you'd love the french and swiss alps cause they are way more focused on freeriding and the possibilities are endless over there

Silvretta Motafon is a skiing resort worth visiting. But it is hardly the most extreme terrain in Europe, even not in Austria.

Duuuude - at 12:15 - soooo sick. Alaska style!

Really lovely video, well done.

Cheers and respect

sick dude!

Just as a reminder for Northern Americans: in Europe we don't have in/out of bounds for avalanche safety. Everything off the marked slopes/routes is your own responsibility and you're supposed to understand the avalanche risk level and have your own avalanche gear with you. Seeing them riding powder without any gear is irresponsible and can cause huge risks up to death. Ride powder but be smart! You want to enjoy your drinks after riding with your friends and not lay in a coffin (if they can find you)...

Literally was at montafon lask week. First time ever on a mountain and first time snowboarding after binching your videos and hyping myself up for three months. So funny that i coud've ran into you guys

Looks like you landed on some good snow conditions. More ethan often such Alps steeps are very hard pack/icy & a nightmare on a board.

Great music choice !

Your skill is what my friend says his is

Fun video. But on a serious note you spend a lot of time off piste, with no back pack, so no shovel or probe am guessinng, were you wearing a transceiver? I know you'll be used to the North American inbounds system, still important to stay as safe as possible!

As someone from Vorarlberg and who worked as a slope patrol in this exact ski resort, I can't let this video title slide... 😜 "Riding doen Europe's most extreme terrain." and putting "Silvretta Montafon" next to it is blasphemy on its peak. Maybe for an outlander who isn't from Europe and doesn't know that many ski resorts here, it is the most extreme terrain... ;D Or because the qualifier for the Open Faces is on the Madrisella. Here some local views towards this ski resort. Hi, I am the former coordinator in the rescue center, sitting in the Grasjoch Freeride Center (which isn't a "Freeride Center" anymore). They just don't manage to take off the signs and change their ski-resort map.. Yee you can guess where this is going now ;P Nope, I don't work there anymore, due to them being bullies in a negligent level. Spreading medical misinformation, enforcing their wrong opinions on you, and if you try to tell them this can seriously put a patient into life-threatening conditions (which exactly has happened before due to negligence in how to treat patients correctly, they resort in attacking you personally under the belt line. Quit your job for it without actual cancellation. Lie to the work department so you will get locked and can't get money you pay taxes for since 10 years. Only all to sh... in your face for trying to help them out and not hurt patients unnecessarily due to their farmer-logic negligence. All so far, that even the "Ärztekammer" (like Federal Medical Dpt.) got into this and I had to file reports against certain individuals for these reasons. So, in Vorarlberg, this is not because of my experience, which is as bad as for many others. Montafon is the most disliked ski resort due to how these people behave. And how much promotion they do online, what they charge for it, and what you actually get, compared to other ski resorts here... To guests these people "put on a mask" obviously. It's company policy you sign to start work as usual. But between each other? Lol, forget about that. You need to get down on their level and let yourself be treated like a primate. You are not from Montafon? Good, so whatever, you are guilty for it.. always get blamed on you. Especially if you are the one in the rescue center and just try to give your best at your job. Which you did every day, since you are medically educated. And basically noone else is... A small first aid course does not count. And slope patrols in Austria need no course or anything to be allowed to do that job... Not only that, it also resulted in unprofessional radio discipline for someone (me) who was a marksman in military before... It's pure horror.... There is no discipline. They just talk like people who never used a radio before. So in Vorarlberg alone, if you really want a decent selection of Freeride faces, you go to St. Anton Warth. There is no debate about that. Montafon only promotes themselves like THE Freeride thing in Europe because if the Open Faces qualifier.... And France and Switzerland are cringing away in a dark corner... Take Europe's (actual) biggest ski resort? "Les 3 Vallées" in France? You pay less for a 6 day pass, no stupid "dynamic price model" for ticket prices. You have WAY MORE in anything 😂 But hej, Montafon always had to sell themselves or noone would go there... You saw Valisera cable car during weekend? xD crowd managment does not exist. I could tell you WAY more reasons why you should definitely go to St. Anton, Warth or Lech. Especially if you wanna ride rly nice faces. You can find extreme couloirs in most areas if the snow conditions are right. Or even better, go to Tyrol? Fiss-Serfaus, Ischgl, Stubai... There are so many more proper ski resorts. And make it up, Montafon built new lifts, made online promo for crappy events and have made prices higher. I am a former event engineer and their managment is...... Smart enough to put a 6-8000W sound system for around 5-6000? people.... I mean.... They simplt do not catch up what any other resort I know here manages to do. This includes, keep their ski-map, information and all up to date and actually do it.... Or maybe treate seasonal workers nice and learn English. Not blame it on them if they can't understand it when Montafon just doesn't do what they teach them. And then wonder why they can't understand it. Or talk dialect while they are already in a German course and get pissed when they need to actually talk German to them. As if they are guilty for it they get hired, try to learn our language and these bigots think it's bad... Like what they want else??? Not all are like this fortunately. But it is overshadowing the good things by far. How would you feel? Come from Australia to Austria on a work permit. And wait 2 months after starting your job to get your contract finally after demanding multiple times? Another example of many. Have fun!

Whoop whoop!

best youtuber on the platform love vids keep it up.

You need to go to Silvretta Montafon next season i wish i could se you there i life near by but my arm is broken so i can not go boarding till next season😢

Damn, I was boarding there on the same day but sadly I didn't meet you :( Still an awesome video and I hope you will come back again sometimes.

Man you missed italy! Place's like livigno or madonna di campiglio, or even Courmayeur!

It's fun to land in snow

Glad you’ve experienced riding without rules & ski patrol! I’ve never been to the US but we have it so good over here, I don’t want to 😂

Belly butters are killer!

Now all we need is for Johnathan to ride a glacier

what are your binding angles

what are those bindings?

looks like a random big european ski resort.....were the big lifts had heat seats or just the bubble?

might be a dumb question but, how do you know the areas you are skiing off-piste are safe? Like that there isn't a cliff over the crest or a huge rock under the snow?

What is it with yanks and not putting the safety bar down on chairlifts?

Is there some sort of way to make airtag work with android or is there an alternative for it? (Getting my clew bindings with the next wave in october)

"landing is soft" :)

Man im so sad ... i was there 2 weeks ago, i would have loved meeting you.

holy shit, you are actually in the area i work as a skiteacher :O. you coming to gargellen? its powder paradise atm/

Clew vs Burton …. Competition is always good for the consumer

my home 🥰

next time u come to eu u should try vogel in slovenija

What up gang?!

The clew clan….sounds familiar 🧐

67% is not 67°, it's about 30° wich is already risquy, 45° is 100% when you are at the top of a 45° slope you see the slope at an angle of at least 135°, which is not far from an impression of verticality

😮

What a title 😂

what did you mean when u said you can get the stickers for free. please reply thx.

I belive that this is insane how is he good at evrithing park powder steep you name it but i Think this is not Human this is crazy

does Europe use a different system of degrees? Because 67 wouldn't hold snow!

Hi

Just so you know most of that terrain you're riding is not controlled by patrol.. may want to wear some avy gear

Europe’s most extreme terrain. Holy fuck that is funny.

dude hasn't hit the sweet spot on a park kicker all trip :')

me wondering how Tf he doesn’t fall?

its so cringe when u keep the bar up.. and u are in europe now buddy :D

Idk it doesn’t look that bad 😅

first

its so weard americans are so safety fixed, but never put douwn safty bars in the skilift !! ...LOL !!

sorry but we care about our safty so put the bar down

How much are they paying you? And why aren't any real respected pros riding these?

How’d you get that shot on the chairlift??? 🔥🔥🔥🥶🥶🥶

stop freeriding without backcountry gear and knowledge 🫤
