Great video. Nice to see you stepping out into bigger lines. Two tips: 1. When ascending or descending in avalanche prone areas, keep your pole straps off your wrist. I noticed one strap was wrapped on your wrist while boot packing to Video Peak summit. 2. Double check helmet strap works and is attached. You’re fortunate not to have hit anything under the snow. Stay frosty!

Great tips. I've been seeing people not running straps. Second nature to always wear them. Makes sense to keep them off! Helmet strap was a big brain fart :(

@@riseandalpine Well I was born and raised in Chile so all I know is here. I mostly skiEl Colorado and Valle Nevado which are in Santiago. Portillo isn't far and is incredibly beautiful. Then, further down south all the resorts are amazing as they are in Patagonia-type scenery. Basically lakes and Volcanoes everywhere. I've never skied in Argentina but Bariloche and Las Leñas are very well known and are also on my bucket list of places to go and ski.

Yo Matt - I can't 100% recall but I think it was only 5 hours to the top maybe 6 total hours. We started a little to late in my opinion and it was fairly sunny. The aspect we skied was pretty sun exposed so my recommendation would be to start as early as possible so you're in climbing the top portion and skiing down when it's cool. I wrote a full guide on my website if you want some more details for planning. riseandalpine.com/2023/05/31/video-peak-rogers-pass-backcountry-ski-guide-revelstoke-bc/#The_Breakdown Hit me up with any other Q's brother.

Just don't get tectons xD. The feel is great but the durability is not. Had multiple issues with the plastic. Personally I think tech bindings are worth it. After skiing on some g3 zeds for a while when my tectons were broken, I couldn't tell the difference in ski feel (not that I'm an amazing skier, but I can at least ski most any marked run at WB). They are lighter, easier to use, and less prone to random plastic breakage. Not recommending those specifically (my shop doesn't like em). But plum, atk, and a few others have a great reputation for making excellent pin bindings which can last

We always assess the snow and it's always a great idea to dig pits. Theres no better report than what you see and feel in the field. Since forecasts are so broad you can never 100% rely on them but they allow for a great starting point!
