Skiing the Whistler Backcountry in -30

The Arctic Outflow hit Whistler Blackcomb hard bringing blisteringly cold temps to the valley bottom. Most skiers opted to spend the weekend indoors, but what they didn’t know is that the inversion made for perfect temps and turns in the alpine. We decided to tough out the cold and gondola breakdowns/delays and embark on a ski touring adventure in the Whistler Blackcomb backcountry. We hiked harmony, the musical bumps, oboe, fissile and stopped for lunch at the Kees and Claire hut. We had the Whistler backcountry completely to ourselves and the conditions could not have been better. We had our eyes set on Banana chute but had to settle for an absolute amazing consolation prize on Cowboy Ridge. We exited via Singing Pass which was skiing great, and I took the name 'Singing Pass' a little too literally. Even though we didn't conquer the objective, we had the dream day out there. Stay Spicy!

So sad I missed the cold smoke, was out of the country when the cold snap happened :( now I'm home but everything is wet. Drove all the way out to big white Saturday to find snow (it was, at least, successful) Flute is a great peak, so many lines. When I did it, I somehow managed to find a new line that wasn't even in the spearhead backcountry atlas, an old bowl that empties out into overlord glacier. Hope you get to go back and hit the chute. 10am gondola is definitely a late start, more so without the alpine chairs helping out.

Welcome to Whistler! It rains cats and dogs! Non stop!! It will rain for few days and nights. All beautiful snow base will be gone soon. What a rollercoaster! From -30 to +7! Tourists, be aware! It is a lottery if you book Whistler ski trip in advance. Only locals can enjoy Whistler. The rest..I do not know. It is based on their luck. This time I am an unlucky one. 😒 Last year when I was here, it was OK. A bit icy though.

The general tip is to have 0 exposed skin in the cold like this. I found that those magnetic balaclavas (like North45 or Anon MFI) make a difference since you can have your nose covered without worrying about fogging. Keep it up!
@riseandalpine
@riseandalpine 5 месяцев назад
Great tips! I've never tried the MFI but it makes so much sense for cold days
@ericmehling3620
@ericmehling3620 5 месяцев назад
unleashed have a longer effective edge and less tip and tail rocker length. I went for enforcer 104 free to unleashed 98 in the same length and I'll say, the carving is a step up, but if I ski lazy (not engaging inside leg to keep same edge angle) that longer effective edge can totally grab in anything past hard pack or groomer. That mid body with less flex makes it a dream in the pow. Great video as always, full energy all day!
@riseandalpine
@riseandalpine 5 месяцев назад
I find I can be a little 'lazier' in the unleashed than the older enforcers. But maybe it's just a mental thing. Always takes me a few days to get used to a new ski!
@ericmehling3620
@ericmehling3620 5 месяцев назад
@riseandalpine the unleashed are quite a bit lighter and also softer in the mid fore and aft. Easier to engage the edges.

May I ask what’s your touring binding setup ? I was recommended for beginners hybrid shift 10mn as starter so I can use my Alpine boot and tour boot together! Thank you love the video
@riseandalpine
@riseandalpine 5 месяцев назад
I use the Duke PT 16. I love it because it's a super sturdy toe piece. The shift has some advantages because you don't have to remove the toepiece but with my weight I sometimes would release out of a DIN that low.

What do you use to record your audio, particularly while skiing? Just the mic on your GoPro/insta and reduce wind sound in post production? Nice job matey
@riseandalpine
@riseandalpine 5 месяцев назад
Hey Andrew! I use the stock audio from the insta360 and the go pro. Go Pro tends to have a bit crisper audio for vlogging moments. On the head mount, both have a lot of wind noise. Sometimes I wear the go pro on my chest and just use it a microphone. I always prefer using the insta as my daily driver filming camera.

If you don't own boots that have pin compatible boots, then I would always recommend frame bindings when you are starting out. They work great on the resort and in the backcountry.
