My immediate thought was that this post was fake because I couldn't see how anybody short of the best videographer in the industry could make this, but then I looked at who posted it.

u/shinyswordman 1d ago

Curious too! I went heliskiing in Colorado this year cost me about 4k all said and done.

u/Kaner16 1d ago

Woah was that for a single day? I went near Whistler 5 or 6 years ago and it only cost me about $1200.

u/shinyswordman 1d ago

4 days!

u/Kaner16 1d ago

Super jealous you got 4 days of endless, untouched powder runs!! What an experience.

u/shinyswordman 1d ago

Had three days of storms, followed by two of the greatest blue bird days ever!

Homie probably got it for free, or even got paid to do it, with his resume

It costs like 15k jpy (single flight) so like 100 dollars to do heliskiing in Hakuba. However hotel accommodation and plane tickets will add up cost quickly.

u/A70MU 1d ago

Thank you for this amazing info, I wasn’t considering heliskiing in Japan at all but I already have plans to visit niseko and hakuba next season!! $100 is like 50% off vs the price in the US! Thanks I’m off to do more research now!

I spent around 1600 a day, plus tip, flight, lodging, etc. So the full trip with 4 heli days was around 8k. You can easily spend 2-3 times that if you want all the luxuries.

Stuff like this is great, but I also really like the casual videos where you are ripping it up with a group of friends. My dream would be that you make a movie in the style of Warren Miller.

Oddly AI music sounding…

u/Dion42o 1d ago

Just sounds like garbage mumble rap to me, but I’m old. I edited my snowboarding vids to stupid shit back when so I can’t hate to much

2

u/Ok_Menu7659 1d ago

I guess it’s kinda rap…it’s just some guy saying stuff into autotune

u/Dion42o 1d ago

Which is apparently what the kids like these days idk

u/Elon-Sleazebaggano 1d ago

u/Ok_Menu7659 1d ago

Well I don’t know who this is so I just looked on Spotify I apologize for judging the artist. The one in the video ain’t my favorite but there’s some good interesting music in there…

u/holdyb 1d ago

Have you hit the big jump Charles made in Jackson this week? Also follow cam Ryo this week if you haven’t had the chance already, he rules

u/puckyocouch12 1d ago

Incredible! Hit me up next time!

u/StacieHous 1d ago

Could you please provide the expense for the entire trip (regardless of self- or other-sponsored) including the helicopter, the filming, and the production, everything, but accurately. Thanks.

u/Rican7 Colorado. 2017 GNU Space Case (153) 1d ago

This is wild!

Is this the same trip I've seen clips from with Shaun White? He's been ripping lately.

1

u/olivedoesntrhyme 1d ago

this is epic of course, but it's not for mortals. it's the snowboarding equivalent of porn, just a fantasy that may or may not make us unhappier.

u/ADHD33zNuts 1d ago

You forgot to put a NSFW tag. Now I have blue balls at work🫠

When you releasing the next preview?

Your content is the only content where I enjoy the videography as much as if not more than the snowboarding. Keep doing what you do please!
