Hi Nikolai, as I have a shed load (well a few) Icebreaker merino base layers so I have't added to my extensive Norrona wardrobe with their merino baselayers. What I have found useful is from another Norwegian company Brynje's mesh baselayers. I have the wool ones for holiday when washing them isn't convenient and the superthermo vest for winter biking here in England. I use these under the normal merino baselayers and find that they help to prevent that clammy feeling when merino gets damp.

Great video, great info. Love black crows and norrona :). Atris is my favorite ski- I have them with a shift binding to use for resort and backcountry. Also have the camox freebird with a light touring setup. Thinking so hard about the Animas! Have you used the marker alpinist 12 binding? If so, how do they compare to the G3s?

@pewpewpew8390 3 года назад

Super video informational video, you learned me more new stuff about skins/clothing/skis/bindings than I've learned in ages! love that you talk about mount points and a lot of stuff that nobody seems to talk about. I just got the atris in 189 and was wondering where to put the bindings as I do like the more forward mounting so +2 it is. Any suggestions for camox mount points as well? And do you use any sort of quiverkillers/bindingfreedom inserts so you can move bindings around? Alltid god stemning når du legger ut video og høy kvalitet! :)

@Nikolai_Schirmer 3 года назад

Sweet! Yes, so the reason the atris rides well that far forward is because the recommended one is -8cm from true centre, whereas the anima and lots of the other skis are -6cm. I like the camox at recommended. Just rode them there on Saturday. Feels good both switch and going forwards🤘 takk!

@pewpewpew8390 3 года назад

@@Nikolai_Schirmer Thanks! Have you tried the new Justis? how how you say it fits between the atris/camox? ? have not seen any info from black crows, but blister says its suggested mounted at 7.5? guessing bumping that to 6 would also work?

@Nikolai_Schirmer 3 года назад

@@pewpewpew8390 I haven't tried the Justis to be honest, but I think they look sick! My general impression is that Julien Regnier (who draws up all these) and Kenji (who does the engineering bit) really know what they're doing, and so far I haven't gotten a ski from them that doesn't perform. Julien does a good walkthrough of it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wRLuvWSK05Y.html If you're skiing more freeride/piste than park I would go for the justis

@ambc38vsxn 3 года назад

Hi, thanks for the video with a lot of details! Question: do you think that Anima really need this amount of camber it has? Or it would be better to have less camber (like in Volkl Confession or Rustler 11) for that kind of skis?

@carsonreid7133 3 года назад

The Corvus Freebird is the best ski ever! I have it as my only pair and ride everything from resort to deep powder, airs (No spins, did 1 360 last year), corn, and steep scary AF variable snow jumpturns. They aren't the lightest but charge through variable snow and avy debris much better than my friends' lighter skis so I think it is worth it. Only downside is they have a thin base so you will inevitably coreshot the bright pink base and be sad. Overall 10/10 would recommend

@Nikolai_Schirmer 3 года назад

Totally agree!

@ClaesN1973 3 года назад

Hey Nico, great video as always! :) I get that you're sponsored by G3, but I'm curious about the G3 Ion 12 vs Salomon/Armada/Atomic SHIFT 12. So from one Scandinavian to another - Besides the 2 x 250 G weight saving, are there any advantages to the G3, or is the weight the main reason to chose the G3 over the SHIFT when going for a DH oriented touring setup?

@Nikolai_Schirmer 3 года назад

Heyhey, Ease of use is the other factor you should consider. With the G3 you can go from walk to ski mode in a few seconds without taking your skis off. There’s a bit more hassle with the shift. Other than that they’re pretty much the same! If I were skiing the ski in the resort more I would prefer the shift/duke

Nice video, very indepth for the amount of gear you show! After getting touring/freeride skis last season just two days ago got my avalanche gear. After years of renting for a few days and hiking with snowshoes and the snowboard on the back i finally managed to get myself that. I'm actually done with ski areas afterlast year when i had to cue 2hrs each on the 2 days of skiing i got. How does your season probably look like this year? Especially since Norway, as far as i know, does have a travelban outside norway due to covid. Do you just do stuff in Lyngen, Lofoten and maybe Jontunheimen/Stavanger/Bergen area? Or are you planning on just staying in the alps for a season?

@Nikolai_Schirmer 3 года назад

Thanks! The camox is pretty sick actually. Had it in chamonix one winter, and took it out a few days that were unexpectedly deep, and they performed really well. It’s also a more fun ski than the atris when the snow is firm. Compared to the freebird they’re way more solid. You can charge on them. Which makes them a bit heavier of course

Iam 198 with 100kg, using the anima for deep snow but with a frame binding and an older daemon188 with the atk free for touring, but iam afraid of bigger drops with a pin binding:). Any troubles with that recently?

@Nikolai_Schirmer 3 года назад

Works well for me at 85kg! Not sure how another 15kg will impact it

Hey Nikolai, I am a big fan of your vids! I probably watched every single one of them this summer while I waited for the ski season to arrive. I have a couple questions in regards to how you set up your GoPro. What mounts do you use most while filming? also, what GoPro specs do you run in POV while you are descending? Thanks

@Nikolai_Schirmer 3 года назад

Woho! Happy you enjoyed them. I use the helmet mount mostly, and I also mount it to my pole for followcams. The trick with the helmet mount is to get the camera as close to your eyes as possible without it interfering in your skiing, so I put it down far on my forehead (though still on the helmet of course). Makes for a better angle. I use superview or 4:3 to get the widest possible FOV, and protune with low or medium sharpness (if the light is really flat). No stabilization. 50fps/2.7k for slomo action (airs/pow), 25fps/4k for everything else. Flat color because I color correct in post, but if you're not doing that I would go for gopro color. :)

I was wondering how you think your bindings perform in bounds? Do they work just as well as traditional alpine bindings? Thank you for the help also love your videos keep it up this winter

@Nikolai_Schirmer 3 года назад

heyhey, they definitely don't hold up as well as a regular alpine binding with a 16-18 din. I haven't skied a regular alpine binding with a din of 12, but I guess they would be comparable to that

@aaronb1195 3 года назад

Do you pack anything to help you get back to the trailhead in case of equipment failure? I've always wondered what I would do if I broke a binding or something in the backcountry, far from my car but haven't found a good solution. Do you pack any other emergency prep gear, besides the avy stuff?

@Nikolai_Schirmer 3 года назад

Duct tape! Have had heinous hikes on one ski through deep pow back in the days of frame touring bindings (those things broke all the time). Only once had a tech toe do that

I’m curious why you’d do the Freebird shorter. Examining my tour setup and many advising I go longer (head height vs eye height).

@Nikolai_Schirmer 2 года назад

Jut because it’s the same length as my atris pretty much, so emphasize the lightness and nimbleness of the freebird setup. If you’re only doing one ski it’s usually good to go longer

@MrCasOuille 3 года назад

Thanks for the video. What is your take on avalanche backpacks? I assume that you don't use them because all the risks are taken out by properly assessing conditions and your rescue trainings. But is there any situation when you would consider using one (when you are on your own for instance)? Or the extra weight always outweigh the extra security?

@Nikolai_Schirmer 3 года назад

Heyhey! Yes, so for me I did use the first generation of them, but was thrown off by the weight and all the malfunctions. Mine was exploding all over the place. I was even in an avalanche and forgot to pull it, being so focused on getting out of the avalanche. Generally I do think the best course of action is to just avoid avalanches, but that's not always easy to do. I would consider using them for riding resort though, or like you say if you're on a solo mission. But I wouldn't really count on it. Buddies with shovels are for sure what I put my trust in if you do end up in a slide

@bikerdude923 3 года назад

I disagree with you statement of "all the risks are taken out ..." there is no such thing as taking risks out. When you study the conditions and everything you are looking at the risks that exist at that time and in that place and then deciding whether you are willing to accept that risk level or not. Even once you have studied the available information to determine risk there is always the unknown, you can't remove risk, only mitigate some of it and then either accept the rest or decide to leave and try another day. Thinking you can remove risk is what gets people killed or injured.
