- [Kai] It's a little sketch, kind of.
- Don't hit it with speed.
Like, ride the spine and then air off.
I would like, click in on this rock.
You need speed to get to that.

- [Man] Oh, that was sick. [laughs]
- [Interviewer] Describe a ski bum for me.
What characteristics does a ski bum have?
- Like the shape of it, or? [laughs]
- So you've got your classic ski bum.
- You eat like honey packets
and like you live in a hostel and...
- Quitting your job to ski more powder
is totally reasonable.
- You have dreams of maybe having a garage some day.
- You're so soulful you'll do anything,
you'll give up every single thing you have.
- You know, a lot of cases breaking up with
your significant other to ski more is completely reasonable.
- I disagree with that particular, very specific stereotype.
- There's so many different ways to call yourself a ski bum.
- Well, all you need is to be on a pair of skis
in the mountains, that's a ski bum.
[snowplow buzzing]
- The mountain is such a special place for everyone in town.
That's why we moved here.
Before you even get up in the morning, everyone that works
at the village is there just hours before
the rest of us get there.
Ski patrol is already there and they're already bombing.
The cats are there grooming.
All the lifties.
I think everyone was more grateful just because
of everything that happened in the world
prior to the winter.
We're so thankful for everyone that puts in the work
every single day just so we get to go ski
and have a good time.
- Jackson Hole Mountain Resort,
steepest gnarliest terrain in America.
So much of it's under the lift so it's a stage.
- Send it! [people cheering]
- Send what?
I'm just looking for Casper Lodge.
- You're going to stand under a chairlift
on top of a cliff, you're going to get chirped.
That's part of the Jackson experience.
- What are you scared of grandpa?
- Dropping.
[people booing] [Tim laughs]
- You did it.
- I did it.
- Sometimes I do the chirping, so you know, watch out.

It's been some of the best conditions that we've ever seen.

I feel like it's just going to keep flowing

- [Sage] To be out here with such a sick crew, so cool.
- [KC] We're combining a lot of different methods of getting
into the mountains from our snowmobiles to start out
and then from there we're ski touring and then we also
have been utilizing the helicopter.
Oh, it's thick out here, boys.
- Yeah, you guys see this thing?

Yeah, it was so fondant.
- Yeah, you can't fawn that out,
you got to be with somebody.
- Oh dude, Parkin's here.
What up, dude?
- This trip kind of came about with a few of us
wanting to get out in some zones a little closer to home,
go a little deeper than we ever have before.
After all the chaos last year, this was a really great way
to start the season off and get back on the road again.
- [Kai] Cooke City, Montana with the boys.
- Zoom in the shot.
- [Kai] It's going to be sick, it's like an aesthetic.
- [Tim] Road trip, a little bit of hilariousness
with Kai in the car.
- Buffalo.
- [Kai] No freaking way.
- Yes boys.
- [Parkin] I love it, I love the youthful mentality.
- [Kai] We got four more hours?
- At this rate, dude, we got 12.
Kai Jones, about to weig hhimself.
- [indistinct].
[upbeat music]
- We're pretty close to Wyoming, but we're also worlds away.
- This is such a cool town, look at this.
We rolled in, there was just sleds parked at all
the restaurants, sleds parked at the gas station.
I didn't realize we had to snowmobile to the hotel.
My [indistinct] just went way up.
[upbeat music]
- The Big Bear Lodge, lodge life.
In a cabin with a sled out the front door.
- [Kai] And there's no cell service, no TVs, no nothing.

to explore some new mountains.

Parkin built a pretty sick jump while I was still in bed.
There's the paparazzi.
- I know, dude.
Every time we skied something, there was at least a group
of five or six sledders down at the bottom
waiting to cheer us on.
Even if we weren't hitting it right away,
they were there to watch the whole process.
[energetic harmonica blues music]
[crowd cheering]
- Oh, here we go.
[energetic harmonica blues music continues]
[Kai laughs]
[energetic harmonica blues music continues]
- Did you land it?
[woman laughs]
- [Parkin] I think it's something that is really cool
about Cooke City, everyone getting along
and just out here exploring the mountains.
- Nice job.
- Have a good one.
- Very nice job.
- Thank you.
- That's so cool.
- Yeah, that was cool.
- Have a good one.
- Where's the edge of the boundary?
I can't see-
- So that's just boundary, just purple. - Oh, this is it right here.
No, that's the huge bit.
- [Kai] That's the couloir that we should hike up.
- Doesn't that look sick? - That is so sick.
- [Parkin] When Kai saw that face, we kind of asked,
"Can we ski that?"
And there wasn't an easy way to get there.
- Parkin's up there setting a very gnarly double.
I don't think me and Tim are going to be able to pull it.
- [Parkin] Howie and myself, we put in a little work,
about two hours of digging and made ourselves
a Himalayan highway.
- It's a little exposed, but it works.
- [Parkin] We had a sled lap all the way along
this ridge line and then a bit of a boot pack
to get to the top.
Once it was set for like three days straight,
we just lapped that whole face.
- Started with an idea on the sled trail and it ended up
turning out to be a lot of firsts
for Parkin and Kai and myself.
- [Kai] To my surprise Cooke City,
some of the biggest mountains I've ever skied.
Having the boys up there and they're so knowledgeable
about the mountains, makes me a lot more comfortable.
We've only gone to the tip of the iceberg, boys.

the first cliff that you had?
- Yeah.
- I was probably 11.
- Eight, nine years old, somewhere around that age.
And for some reason I had a hankering to just send it.
- So I was like, I should go gigantic.
- We built this jump that was probably like two feet tall
and the lip was so steep.
- And I remember just punching it.
- Fully was a cat out of a window.
Like no composure in the air.
- And just still going up and I was like, oh my god.
- Like went way bigger than I expected.
- And I absolutely splattered. [laughs]
And I remember walking away like...
- I was like flying and I need to do that again
as soon as possible. [laughs]
- [Dane] As soon as you get in the air, it's like time slows down.
And it did for me when I was little.
As soon as you land it kind of all comes rushing back
like a million feathers and just laughing as a kid.
- [Ian] Yeah, I was always watching the ski movies.
I just wanted to get out there and throw back flips
like Seth Morrison and learn some tricks like Sammy Carlson.
It was what it was all about for me.
- We're hanging out in the Kootenays, it feels good
to be skiing right out the back door.

it's me and Christina Lustenberger and Nick McNutt.

and pretty much everyone's last day of the season
was the accident that happened in Pemberton.

- [Ian] Yeah, it's like you already were but now it's like-
- The best feeling just to be reunited and see you.
- It's just really cool to be back together as a team.
- Day one, it was a high pressure system
and the snow was super stable.
Things were just totally lined up to start skiing
some big stuff.
- [Man] Where were you thinking about landing?
- Just around the corner from that,
there's like a little pillowy spine thing.
- Yeah, I mean, I think it's good.
- Let's do it.
- Yeah.
- [Ian] Flew out to check out some terrain.
Noticed this one line called Wild Cat
was looking really good.
- It looks in really good condition right now.
- Yeah.
- The stability was good so someone
probably needed to ski it.
No sense in a warming up, just go to the gnar.
- Yeah. [laughs]

you know, the peak above the lodge.
I had a feeling that skiing with those two,
they'd be kind of eyeing up something like that.
Was a really cool thing to do on our first day
and just get up there and ski something
that no one's ever done.
- [Ian] Getting out of the helicopter on that ridge top,
almost sheer for about four or 5,000 feet off the backside.
The fact that nobody's done it is kind of crazy.
♪ I wanna hold your shine
- [Christina] We skied it one at a time,
you know, mountaineer style.
Ski a pitch, tuck out the first safe zone.
Pretty good, I went out right.
- [Ian] Wow, look at this, cathedral of [indistinct].
- So sick.
- [Nick] Christina is dropping.
[upbeat music]
All righty, dropping.
♪ I wanna hold your shine
- Seeing Ian and Lusti kind of get excited about
like these alpine objectives has been really motivating.
I'm just excited to grow as a skier and see new places
and try and ski different stuff.
- [Ian] Yeah, buddy.
- Yay, team.
Nice one.
- Dunkirk.
[helicopter buzzing]
- [Ian] I think it's a true testament to our crew to be able
to pick ourselves up after, you know, almost losing McNutt
in the mountains a year ago.
There was moments of good snow.
- Yeah, it was like [indistinct].
- Something about skiing.
It's never been a question really, it's, you know,
it's kind of what I'm supposed to do.
I can feel it and something like that might make some people
walk away but it wasn't gonna change anything
about what I love to do, which is, you know,
spending time in these wild places with friends.
[Ian laughs]
It was really cool joining those guys to ski Dunkirk.
Thanks for taking me down there.
Mac and Lusti were just getting warmed up
for their next objective.
[airplane stuttering]
- [Christina] So sweet to be back.
- [Ian] Yeah, where are we?
- Panorama, home hill.
This is where Ian and I learned how to ski.
I grew up in Invermere.
My parents ran the ski shop at Panorama Mountain Resort.
Mackintosh Way.
- It's a black diamond.
- [Ian] Christina and I, we started out as kids,
ski racing together.
As we evolved as skiers, we find ourself like
perfectly aligned with the same goals.
- [indistinct] how gnarly that leads.
- As you're riding the chair,
you're staring right across of this amazing face.
Something we've looked at for so long
with living room window I could see it, classroom windows.
It's pretty crazy to be here, staring at it,
thinking that we might go try and ski it.
I mean the face itself looks extremely intimidating.
And I think that's maybe why it has never been skied before.
[dramatic strings music]
We're ready to go, three hours in the dark.
It's all three.
- [Ian] More than three but there are three.
The ascent is 6,900 vertical feet.
It starts off in the valley floor through to this
steep valley bottom with big faces on either side of us.
- [Christina] Holy.
- [Ian] It's melted out quite a bit.
- [Christina] Yeah.
One of the huge weights of this descent was staying
at my parents' place and then knowing exactly
what I'm trying to do that day.
I just felt this weight of responsibility.
Watching the sunrise as we're climbing the south face
was absolutely magic.
Woo!
Yes, really beautiful.
- [Ian] The south face is definitely a full on climb.
It's pretty straight up with skis on your back
and ski boots and crampons on.
It was definitely the crux for sure.
- It's like either steep or on rocks.
- [Ian] And even though I was feeling exhausted,
I was just super fired up to be where we were.
Top of the world, top of Mt. Nelson.
- [Christina] The summit was an amazing feeling
but it was fleeting.
We still had a big job to do.
[dramatic music]
- [Ian] And it was time to switch the focus
into the descent.
Nice job.
Good job.
You know, there's a lot of things bouncing around
in my mind at that point in time,
like how rocky is it going to be?
We're over gnarly death exposure.
- [Christina] Once we dropped into that face,
there was no turning back, it was like full game on.
[dramatic music]
On rappel and dropping.
- [Ian] See you down there.
If you hit a rock hard and start tumbling,
the mountain's steep enough that you're just going
to tumble over the exposure below.
Every single turn as we're going down this face
is like, make or break.
Come on tail.
There it is, there it is, nice.
And that was just the name of the game.
It was just a shark tank.
- [Christina] Careful, like-
- Yeah, it's all peppered in here. - [Christina] Yeah.
- 10 seconds.
Dropping.
[dramatic music]
Oh yeah.
Okay, come to me.
There is a couple of rocks here, Christina.
Take your time.
[suspenseful music]
[Christina shouts]
[dramatic music]
- [Christina] You're good, Ian.
[dramatic music]
- [Ian] They were actually bumping
the avi danger up that day.
- [Man On Radio] Currently minus-six
at the summit of Panorama.
- [Ian] Definitely borderline.
With the face being pretty southeast,
it's getting baked by the sun.
We just knew that we had to get off of it as quick as we could.
Holy [indistinct].
That's pretty shallow, hey?
- [Christina] Wasn't really an option for us to like
ski through this section, so we set up another rappel.
- [Ian] Hey, it's hollow.
- [Christina] The heat of the day at that moment was weighing.
You could almost hear the ticking of the clock.
Every second is getting warmer.
I don't know where else to put it.
- [Ian] Lots of slop.
[suspenseful music]
[indistinct] rocks.
- [Christina] Come on.
Let's get out of here.
- [Ian] Ian's rappelling now.
- [Christina] I was coiling the ropes.
I told Ian just to ski off the face.
- [Ian] Dropping.
- [Christina] You just feel this life and death weight
un-lift off your shoulders.
- Woo-hoo!
- [Christina] [shouts] Yes!
Yeah, buddy.
- Yeah, nice job.
- [Christina] I think once you've skied something,
it's like, you look up at it and you just give it a wink.
I'm so happy we did that together.
- [Ian] So good to do that with you.
- [Christina] It's a cool feeling.
It's your imagination that you wanted to go there
and do that, no one else has.
- [Ian] Super special.
- [Christina] I'm going to call my mom. - [Ian] Yeah.
- Tim, what exactly are you going to learn from that
that you already don't know?
- How to not get stuck 101, look ahead.
[snowmobile revving]
Uh-oh.
Throttle, brake control.
- Hey! [snowmobiles revving]
- Foot placement.
[Kai laughs]
Rogue boondocking is when the entire crew's
on the trail and then you just take off
and get stuck in the snow.
Ready?
- Yeah.
- Are you going to actually lift it?
- Yeah, I've been trying, I'm not as strong as you.
- Okay, three, two, one. [laughs]
[snowmobile revving]
- Tim, I'm stuck again.
- That's kind of frowned upon in our crew,
but we do it because it's fun.
- Me and Tim are best friends,
but he's like 30-something and I'm 14.
Hey Tim, can I mess anything up if your car's in park?
- [Tim] No.
- So I can just move all the buttons.
- [Tim] Yeah.
- This year we have a thing where we'd say quotes
and it helped me and Tim stomp some of our biggest lines
this year.
Tim?
- [Tim] What's up?
- Tim, you are a round peg in a square hole.
You are an outlier, you are a different stinker
and that's what makes you real.
[indistinct] yeah, buddy [indistinct].
- [Tim] Thank you, Kai.
- [Kai] Oh, he's gone and stomped it.
[upbeat music]
[Tim laughs]
[upbeat music continues]
- Woo-hoo!
[upbeat music]
- Oh, fuck.
- Oh my gosh, that is so perfect.
[upbeat music]
- [Kai] That was [indistinct].
- Thanks, man.
- Tim, how high, should I traverse over?
- [Tim] Kai, I took the Tanner Hall traverse
and stayed high.
- [Kai] Three, two, one, dropping.
[upbeat music]
♪ Hot damn, hot damn, what you want me to do ♪
[Kai shouts]
[upbeat music]
That was [indistinct].
- You're deep.
[upbeat music]
- [Tim] Yeah, boy, let's go.
[upbeat music]
- Yeah, whoa!
[upbeat music]
- [Kai] The season was coming to an end
and I was like, okay, I'm going to backflip Swamp Bastard.
The conditions were not lined up.
It was like kind of hard pack.
This is going to be fat, dude.
- [Tim] You're going to stomp it.
- [Kai] Yeah, all cameras 100.
- [Man On Radio] Copy, send.
- [Tim] Dropping.
- [Kai] Woo, let's go.
[upbeat music]
- [Kai] [laughs] What?
- [Tim] Kai, that was absolutely sick.
How was the landing?
- Pretty hard.
I've been wanting to do that for so long, I'm so stoked.
- Dude.
- Thanks for going up there with me. - Insanity.
- [Kai] This is the best day ever.
- What a legendary...
- By far the best day, best day of my life.
- You want me to take these off or put them on?
- [Interviewer] No, take them off.
- What I do with my hands?
- [Interviewer] Clap with them.
[people clap hands]
- Yeah, stoke is just kind of the end goal in everything.
- Anytime that things just feel like a little bit
turned up to 11.
Whoa, baby.
- Positivity, it like, it's something that it grows
within an individual and it spreads.
It's so cool.
- It's just a beautiful feeling
and it just spreads all over the world.
- [Skier] [laughs] This is sick.
- You can't help but laugh and like high five
your buddies at the bottom.
- I did not expect that.
- Just kind of like this uncontainable, like, stoke.
- My name is Greg Harms and I'm a professional ski guide.
I launched my own private heli ski business.
And you know, I started skiing year round in 1990.
- Greg Harms is kind of the mastermind
behind the whole thing.
All the guides that work at Third Edge
have pushed the boundaries a little bit.
- To share my dream and my ski bum life with close friends,
that's why I get up every morning, really.
The Chugach, the Alaska range, the Talkeetnas, you know,
it's every skier or snowboarder's dream
to get that blank canvas.
- Seward is, in my opinion, one of the most unique
mountain ranges in the world.
You are positioned on the Pacific Ocean.
You're on the Gulf of Alaska.
- [Elyse] You know, a lot of heli skiing isn't done
necessarily in this area because there's more variables
when you're right on the ocean.
We've been trying to do this for at least a few years now.
And this year we were able to post up in Seward
and see what we can get here.
- Am I confused?
Yes.
Do I like it?
Sure do.
[exciting music]
- It's Caite's first year up here
and often we'd go to a zone and she'd be looking
at the same lines as me and Greg.
That's steep in there.
- [Caite] It is steep.
- [Man On Radio] Go, go, go.
[energetic music]
- That happened so fast.
- [Man On Radio] Nice one, Caite.
- [Caite] Come on, buddy.
- [Man On Radio] Three, two, one, go, go, go.
[energetic music]
- Nice job.
[energetic music continues]
- Yeah, Caite.
[energetic music continues]
- Woo!
[man laughs]
That was so sick.
- Hell yeah.
- Nice one.
- [Caite] Thanks.
- Elyse Saugstad, just a ripper.
- She skis so powerfully and just being around
that's pretty inspiring.
- Elyse is 100.
- [Man On Radio] Go, go, go.
[energetic music]
- Coming out hot.
- [Man On Radio] Okay, Elyse is 100.
[energetic music continues]
- [Elyse] Holy [beep].
Whoa!
- [Caite] Good work.
- Nice job.
[energetic music continues]
[Elyse shouts]
- That was wild.
The way that the ocean meets the mountains
in like such a dramatic way, it just takes your breath away.
And then you kind of realize that it's still rugged
Alaskan Pacific shoreline that you're trying to ski on.
- Had about 50 mile an hour winds here in Seward
and a big warm up the day before.
So the most immediate problem is the helicopter
being frozen to the ice.
Trip's great.
- You have to keep it in perspective that
whatever you're stepping into,
it's still Alaska and it's really not that mellow.
- Did climbing Everest help you prepare for this?
- [laughs] Yeah, this is actually a drill
we did at base camp.
I was nervous, honestly.
Just kinda had a bad run of injuries.
Like this is the first time being back in three years.
It's been a long process getting back to this point.
Getting the call to come back up was almost as special
as the first call I ever got.
Look there's that fricking [indistinct].
There's another, another. [laughs]
- [Man On Radio] Go, go, go.
[rock music]
- [Man On Radio] Yeah, Johnny.

[rock music]

[rock music continues]
- Yeah buddy, nice one.

♪ I'm sinking, sinking low
♪ Low

- That looked sick.
- Whether you're a skier or snowboarder,
whether you're 12 or you're 70, it's still the same magic.
- That was big.
- Oh my god, that was so fun.
- Yeah, dude, that was sick.
- That was absolutely insane.
- That was unreal.
- [laughs] That was sick.
That was dope, right?
[skier whistles]
- To create those moments and fill them up with excitement,
I think is the way to live life.
- [Man] Okay, we need some more stoke, kid.
- More stoke and we'll do it.
Yeah, more stoke, more.
- [Tim] Whoever gives us stoke, he will hit it.
Oh, he's going, he goes.
[upbeat music]
- Right on his head.
So [indistinct].
- [Man On Radio] It feels like I broke my nose.
- Oh, do you need our help at all?
- [Man On Radio] No, no, no, I'm fine, it hurts.
[men laugh]
- [Ian] Very much turbulence.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
[man laughs]
[men laugh]
- What up, buddy?
- Adrenaline is pretty toasted.
- Well deserved, well deserved.
[upbeat music continues]
- [indistinct] baby, let it rip.
- Tried to take my sandwich.
[crowd cheering]
[camerawoman laughs]
- [Man] Was that on purpose?
- I hope not.
That car's under my insurance, right? [laughs]
[upbeat music]
- Oh yeah, that's, yeah. [laughs]
[upbeat music continues]
- Three, two, one, dropping.
[woman laughs]
Three, two, one, dropping.
- [Woman] That was it.
- You, Kai Jones, from this day forward
will only stomp everything.
- Yeah, boy.
- Goals for the rest of the trip is
I want to see Brad Holmes' back tattoo.
He's been very coy about it but we know it's there,
it's [indistinct].
- Oh.
- [KC] That was a shot.
- Dude, these things, they both just did this.
[KC laughs]
- Oh my god.
- Catastrophic gear failure,
I'm glad to see you're in this house.
- Dad, dad, everyone's right here and they can go like this.
I have to, dad.
- Hello, good morning.
- Aftermarket mod.
- Yeah, I like it.
- I actually think the most interesting thing
about this guy is he's got a top knot,
he's like in bed with a top knot.
- What about the horse that's in bed with him?
- Anything goes, dude.
- Horses need to sleep too, bro.
[people cheering]
- It's too hard.
- I think we got it, dude.
