Ski Mountainering Without "Danger Dorks" or Insta-whores
Nice little film featuring grown ups and some badass old timers.

I didn't believe in reincarnation when I was your age either.

In the first one--I think that if I were skiing some super steep super narrow couloir and some guy came speed flying over my head I'd be pissed. But then that has never happened to me and never will. Nice films.

I live for skiing couloirs like these. Either East side or the French Pyrenees.

I've wanted to ski there for a long time. As a former long time East-coast BC skier their is something familiar and relatable about getting after it in Scotland. I don't think I'd ever make a dedicated trip, but I hope to make a detour to a mountain named Ben-something-or-other someday.

Leave to the Scots to call that powder. I don't think there was a single turn that was boot top. That said, some sweet wind buff and corn. Skiing and climbing in Scotland has always been a dream, one that will likely never be fulfilled. Drinking single malts in summer is a distinct possibility, though.
Great film, thanks for sharing.
I agree it is a constitutional right for Americans to be assholes...its just too bad that so many take the opportunity...iscariot
