How To Be a Professional skier: 14 tips for success

Dumb question from an american here - i thought norwegians have free college, were there special circumstances that resulted in student debt for you?

Unreal quality, as always. Get well soon.

this entire film is just perfect. Great job !

As someone who is new to the skiing world I never knew about MSP until this video!! Nice one man.

Hey Nikolai
I'm going to Lyngen for some skitouring in the beginning of March. Not quite sure about what kind of skis to bring etc.
Right now i own a Line Sir Francis Bacon from 2015 which is like 2.3-2.5 kg per ski. So I'm looking for something lighter.
I'm actually never riding backwards and am also not spinning around like crazy (what a surprise at 2 m and above 100 kg... ^^ ).
So now I'm trying to find out what kind of conditions are most likely to be in March in Lyngen and what kind of conditions are mostly here in the alps to find a good and light ski for someone who mostly only hikes up to ride down. So the downhill part is my priority. Wouldn't consider myself as the best skier, but definitely not too bad, somewhere intermediate to advanced when it comes to off-piste skiing in the normal guys touring area.
Thanks for the info and all the great videos, really enjoy them!
Cheers from Switzerland

you make some seriously sick vids mate. top class production value

I watched the MSP movie, mostly to see what your segment looked like and as a bonus I sort of know one of the other skiers who was in it. Somehow it doesn't even hold a candle to your stuff. No story, no meaning, just fluffy narration on top of a collection of lines skied. Your movie Wavy blew any other ski movie I've seen out of the water when it comes to real movie quality. It's not all about backflips and some mediocre song. Make me care! That's what MSP didn't figure out. But your videos do. Thanks for putting them up here!

This was so much beyond what I expected this video to be like hahaha. There's an art to your films Nikolai that just puts you above every other ski content creator I've ever seen. Fan for life.

Amazing. Loved the video

Top marks Niko, you're killing it, stoked to see Hedvig here also

Such an amazing video! You never fail to amaze me with each video you share! Thank you!!! Huge inspiration to me while I just started tour skiing beginning this year

dude your videos are going to push me to become a pro. like wow

Sorry, but your videos are overall better. Much more soul

No front to MSP, but to be honest they have their work cut out to keep up with the quality of content you put out on here!

Love it! Nikolai, you're the best ski movie shooter and producer ;)! Keep riding!!!

during times like this where i cant go skiing videos like yours are the next best thing! keep em coming pls :)

I hope you get times 10 times the views with your incredible content

Best video you put out best production, good vibes keep it up !

Great film…your more grassroots approach is way better than the big productions. You do what you do for the right reasons. Bravo!

This new wave of individuals sharing personal stories is amazing! Less hype, more truth, tons of real emotion and vulnerability! Incredible production, well done!!!!

Tip #15 Don't die in an avalanche

A dream colab would be for you and Cody Townsend to ski in Lyngen together or you to go to the USA to shred some lines with him.

This video came out 2 days after my house burned to the ground and the only thing I had left was the pair of skis in my car, Ive always thought about how I can make my life about skiing while still feeling like i'm progressing in life and this has really given me some great advice to reflect on. I might never be a sponsored skier but that doesn't mean I cant still make a mark in the history of the mountains, Thank you

Great video! 🙌

I'd say location is the most important issue. Being able to just go to the mountains often. It's dammed expensive for me just to even get a single week away in a winter.

Everyone at the resorts now is decked out, head to toe. I still go in a sweatshirt and jeans.

Skiing is sadly a sport where as long as your underaged, you can only get popular with "rich" parents... The eqiupment is expensive, the hotels are, the resorts are... And if you start when you earn enough money on your own, its already too late to become a pro.

Your Channel is soooooo underrated! I LOOOVE your Vids

Songs?

A while after The Stomping Grounds came out me and my friends met up to watch it. Half way through we got bored and instead we just rewatched your videos for the 10th time. The quality and storytelling that you produce is way better than the stuff MSP puts out.

Jeg skulle lagt meg for fire timer siden, men et Schirmermaraton er verdt en trøtt morgendag

Amazing video! (As always) it’s great watching someone do the thing I love as I probably live in one of the least mountainous or snowy countries on earth. Australia. I have a huge passion for skiing but we don’t often have enough money to regularly travel overseas to ski. Hopefully the time will come that I can move to Europe to ski!

Great stuff 💪🔥🔝

I love your videos so so so much. I would do absolutely anything in the entire world to ski back country with you, just a single time. Hell, I would do anything just to ski anywhere in Europe right now...

Me with ADHD: I don't even remember what he said, but the nature and skiing is epic

I am 15 and i only have one career path freeskier and like him i dont like competitions but i would like to do the freeride world tour at least twice to make my mark and i could make it as a freeskier

Man congratulations .your channel is awesome

Your videos have the rare distinction of not making me feel like I'm procrastinating when I watch them. Instead, I feel more connected with humanity and so get a big boost for my day. Thank you.

Following this channel for quite some time now, that video was by far the most inspiring so far!
