Backcountry Ski/ Snowboard Trip - Scotland

[seanski44]

great stuff guys, came upon this via the related videos (mine's the one that seems to be top of the list of related vids to yours) and really enjoyed it! - Cheers

[highcalamity]

Guys, the whole point of this video is that we don't have big hills or a lot of snow in Scotland - but it's still good fun. I've skied and boarded all over the world, and if you can't enjoy a beautiful day in the Scottish hills, there's something wrong with you. As krazykarzykripple says, if you can cope with the high winds, boiler plate and massive sastrugi which we get over here, you can board anywhere! :)

Well said, these people dont get the point.. going to France costs hundres of pounds and you if you dont stay at least a week it's not worth it, if you live in UK you can drive up there in a day and just be there for a few days, and it's something different as well!

[FProductions]

never ski in scotland, its the worst place for skiing or snowboarding ever, you'd have more fun in the Sahara Desert.

[krazykrazykripple]

yhea mate but if u can ski in scotland you can ski anyware in the world even the Sahara Desert.

[gingermagicman]

Sandboarding.,

[zanos123]

wow this looks so damn boring. not steep no jumps just go to any mountain in BC and get this.

[snowsportsrule2112]

next time you should rent a snowmobile and take turns riding down it would be way faster you could both get in way more runs

[ZewJersey]

this is why i want to become rich...so i could just rent a heli to the top haha

[mathpowerchampion]

all i can say is go to Western North america, best skiing. Powder is crazy, best ive gotten is knee deep in western Canada but thats nothing compared to what you can get

[skateboard469]

@mathpowerchampion u dont want it much deeper than that

[mathpowerchampion]

@skateboard469 no man thats not deep powder at all. you want it way deeper.

[skateboard469]

@mathpowerchampion i agree nw america has best skiing cause i live there but if u fall it deep powder it sucks balls uses so much energy to get out

[MrMinkStar]

Have you tried Furano in Japan? The powder there was incredible when I went. There was a point where I was up to my waist, you just gotta know where to go..

[noahuchiha]

his snowboard wasnt even covered in snow thats horrible to ride you want it like 2-3 feet that way if u fall its awsome and u can kick it up to wtf thats like 3-4 inches

[njboi94]

I go into the backcountry at Arapahoe Basin in CO and damn is it tough. Walking back is the worst part but i think its worth it cuz wen you go down, theres nothing like it.

[TheGod686]

Guys that what u call backcountry?

shiit you'r totaly out of the map , Go at whistler CA or NZ that iz real backcountry.

[ben74134]

you really dont get it at all...

[Stevie5771]

whats the song name?

[kendrawhisp]

wow thats hard work, how long did it take you to ski down?

[highcalamity]

About 20 minutes - but about 3 hours to get up!

[kendrawhisp]

Thats what you call passion lol

[Interleap]

That quite good.

I remember when I was around 11 I went around 20 meters down the wrong way and it took me around 20 minutes just to get back up and carry on the right way.

[ericlhudson]

you guys need to come to British Columbia Canada and get some face shots

[xxJazzyJessxx]

I bet it was totally worth it in the end,

[brucey14]

gotta remember to add, THAT IS SOME POWDER lol, you guys make my days in between skiing worthwhile!

[brucey14]

what's this song? love itt! sorry to jabber about the music, i'm going skiing at xscape in uk for the first time in my life, only ever skiied on slopes at canada before, it's a great inspiration!

[highcalamity]

New music now sorted - pretty good actually!

[highcalamity]

Sorry people - audio has been disabled. You would have thought that given that "Lucky Man" by The Verve is now 11 years old that the record company/ management would be a bit more liberal with the rights issue, but there you go. I sincerely hope they have a terrible 2009.

[wilddrinker1442]

[highcalamity]

Sure is!

[tandtoast]
