SKIER VS SNOWBOARDER | CAN A SKI RACER CATCH ME? | 4K

Who can be first to spot the rubber duck? 🦆

I love how within 10secs into the video he says, “I think we all know skiing is faster than snowboarding”. Perfect, saved 9mins.

I love how this started right away, no distracting build up to the race, just the exact content that I clicked for, awesome stuff!

You captured the anxiety every snowboarder has on a flat really nicely here.

I really enjoy that Malcolm takes the time to add a speedometer and a map.

That looked like a lot of fun. But damn you could hear how icy it was 😅

Looks super fun! Could you try doing another video like this one in the future but also have a POV from the other person if possible? Maybe then you could stack the videos when the chase gets intense. Just an idea!

I like your style and positioning on the pistes: fast, but definitely defensive positioning and distance to other slower users. Well done!

I love how this video was more about having fun and making a fun excuse to make a video vs actual "science" of who's faster.

I snowboarded for 10 years, then went back to skiing. This is a perfect example of why. Going fast downhill, is more suited to skis, as you have double the feel and double the edge control to regulate speed and direction. Also, you have the added advantage of not getting held back on flat areas, or just slowly navigating around crowds, getting on/off lifts etc Boards are definitely more fun, when conditions are good, just cruising around and looking for features to pop off, but theres a reason skis have been around for centuries, and have been used as the natural vehicle of the mountains by outdoors people and even soldiers. Will always love my board, but for most applications, in most conditions, skis just work better!

You know when snowboarding is better? When you walk back to the car.

I find it impressive when snowboarders are able to rip down a hard icy hill at speed. Skiers might not think it so difficult, but they have at least twice the edge length as we do. We also don't have a second edge to fall back on when one slips out.

Watching this video was both the most exciting and the most relaxing thing that happened to me all day! Finally helped me get the edge off. It's like ASMR and playing a videogame all at the same time! I truly believe that if you chose a mountain that wasn't half flat, you would have won that!

Worked great on about 6"-8" of average snow starts to struggle a bit past 8". youtube.com/post/UgkxoHYZbq5g9fkcAtinlTqstNlje-UQk… Very light weight and the chute spin control works well. For the low price you get a ton of value. My only complaint is managing the cord as it does take a fair bit of effort to watch and pull the cord out of the way. I found myself having to whip the cord out of the way a lot when I needed to make one way passes to mange the blow direction. It's less of an issue when you can work both directions. A battery powered version would be a lot easier to handle but that is also double the price and requires battery care. I chose the corded version so I didn't have to worry about batteries but I do now see how much work the cord is. I let my neighbor borrow it and it outperformed his smaller gas blower, he was totally sold. Very pleased with the power and operations.My only suggestion is to spend a bit more on a cordless version if you have budget for it. The cord is a bit more of a headache than I thought it would be. Very pleased with the Snow Joe brand and quality.

Considering the inherent speed advantage skis have, the fact that shes a professional, and the awful icy sounding snow which boards are notoriously bad for... You actually did pretty damn well. Would be interesting to see the same race with a much less crowded slope and a layer of fresh dry powder, I think you might have had a chance

Gotta love how hes making 60-70kmh look like a casual cruise,meanwhile I went somewhere in between that for the first tkme this season and felt like Id break something if i made the tiniest mistake🤣

That's amazing control at that speed on such an icy run!

Speeding on a snowboard is quite scary, especially on messed up and bumpy pistes, and honestly i don't like it very much, especially as a beginner, always on the verge of catching an edge :p I find myself having much more fun on wide green or blue slopes than on any red (or black, but i haven't ridden any yet. I rode my very first red the last day of last season). But that's kind of a pain in the ass when all your friends ski. You just get left behind, they have to wait for you at the end of every run. So you try to keep up and end up falling and hurting yourself X) Anyway, enough rambling from me. As always it's a pleasure to see you ride :) And Viv looked quite fast indeed!

That looked like a fantastic trail to go down, nothing like a long mellow run, though you were zooming hard in most of it. Didn't seem like it was that fast but 50 plus most of the time, seems crazy. Good job.👍

That’s cool, I felt it, and I just finished 9 laps at Hood on my Dancehaul 157! Not into speed personally at 66 but I love the way the Dancehaul rides pow or groom. Rhythm, flow, style, power, grace.....😎
