Crossing Paths in Alpe Devero | Hidden Faces Episode 19
So, we headed to Alpe Devero for some fresh powder, but turns out, the wind was trying to ruin our party. We found a couloir that looked promising, but surprise surprise, we weren't the only ones with that idea.
Anyway, we decided to join forces with Seppe en Gert. Together enjoyed the thrill of the majestic couloir in mixed conditions. Despite the unexpected company, it ended up being a pretty awesome day on the mountain

If we are not mistaken, the couloir we ski is named the "Hiss of the Cobra...

Some faces are more appealing than others, but they still ask for a cautious approach. At first glance, this one seemed fine, but we felt it was lacking some snow. After patiently waiting for more snow and the decrease in avalanche risk, we decided to give it a go.

Literally Blown away During Beautiful Icelandic Sunrises | Hidden Faces Ep 11
Переглядів 10 тис.2 роки тому
During the search for steep lines in Iceland, we considered many options. The wind seemed to have done its job all season long and the temperatures were anything but stable. Typical Iceland actually. During our stay, the freezing level moved towards 1000 meters and with that many slopes became a "no go". So we had to look higher up. In the north of Iceland the mountains reach up to about 1500 m...

Just found your channel and binged all the episodes. Love them! Would love to see some of the avi assessment to help spread the word about making sure folks check on that.
Bro, Im starting now in backcountry-couloir skiing and I love it as you do. This videos are fucking amazing man!
RIP Pogo!
Thanks for the epic videos. What do you think of the Salomon MTN poles? I'm undecided between those and the Black Crows - keen to hear your thoughts!
Angels don't die... People won't forget you, Pogo. You are a hero❤️ Watch over us from above, beautiful soul. Keep riding man! Keep riding!
Excellent sound design <3
MULȚUMESC! pentru acest film care este un omagiu adus unui compatriot de excepție! Un film sobru, bărbătesc cu peisaje și oameni de o forță și frumusețe ireală. Mulțumesc Domnule Pogo. Ești născut să fi POGO DOMNUL MUNȚILOR!
Such a young, kind man and passionate about everything what he was doing….what a sad news 😢😢😢 RIP Pogo, the legend of Făgăraș Mountains!
What camera was it shot on?
RIP Pogo, you are now a legent of the Fagaras Mountains
💙💛❤ very nice
You just casually jump over that crevasse?
Nu mi se pare greșit că era nesăbuit!
Gear used?
close call
Well... That's a life lesson if i ever saw one ! R.I.P. buddy ! You may sky down to earth now , whenever you wish .
I cried!
Romania 🇷🇴 is my country ❤
❤❤❤
Very nice video. As for Pogo... seems the mountain gave him everything he could've ever wished for....and then took everything back...all at once. Odihneasca-se in pace.
Live fast die young ! RIP big man !
Goosebumps. Knew him personally, we were friends when we were kids. Paul choose different than the most of us, a true free spirit. Now I miss him a lot. RIP Legend.
👏👏👏👍
Please name the place or the chalet after him. He was a beautiful, free spirit. RIP Pogo. Fly free.....
This is sooo stupid and dangerous non sense...and this young man lost his life for nothing...
This was his passion and what he lived for. In the city or behind a computer he would have been a living body with a dead soul. At least he lived his life with passion. It is tragic what happened and it is a pity because it could have been avoided with a more safety approach.
Dumnezeu sa te odihneasca in pace, Pogo!
wow, this hits so hard after Pogo's death earlier this month..
RIPpogo!,
Rest in peace, Paul😢
Great reminder to sky where u are supposed to, otherwise u seek death and find it. Love your life, don't die.
I’m very happy that you visited Romania. The video is fantastic! What drone model do you have? It looks like a movie! Congratulations also for your courage! Do you have Instagram? I would like to follow you there too.
LE: RIP Pogo! Amazing! PS: 5:34 wasn't fun!
Dumnezeu sa te ierte daca are de ce. Multumim pentru tot ce ai facut!
RIP Pogo. Maybe he didn't get to live 100 years as he wanted. But, how many can say they died smiling doing what they love? 🥹🥹🥹 God bless Bogo!
He lived more than others do in 50 years
this touched my heart
A încălcat o grămadă de reguli....și acum schiază cu îngerii
