:29:02
Are we getting so close?.
I'm finding it.
:29:03
Okay. Thereyou go.
:29:08
Here it is- point-six.
Dig it.
:29:11
I hit something.
Is it squishy?.
:29:14
Oh, yes.
It's right there, baby!
Time!
:29:17
[Woman ]
Did you get it?
Yeah!
:29:19
Everytime I've been told about
the backcountry, they're just
like, "Listen,you know,
:29:23
even though your friend's buried,
you still have to take your time
and just find him."
:29:27
I mean,
there's no use in just panicking
and going like this everywhere.
:29:30
It just doesn't do anything.
:29:32
They foundthe beacon in two minutes.
They found it quicker than me and Nick.
:29:35
So I'm sure they can handle it.
:29:40
[Teter]A while ago, Shaun and I
were talking about, like, whoa,
we've never done this before.
:29:43
Like, we don't wanna die up there.
:29:46
Not bugging out about it,
but being, like, I don't know-
feelin'a little stressed on it.
:29:51
You know, I want to be safe,
but I still want to learn a lot.
I want to learn about backcountry riding.
:29:55
And I want to progress, you know.

This is called Kiwi Junior.
:30:03
It's a good little run.
It's not too much exposure, but there are
places where you can get hurt, definitely.
:30:08
It's probably some of
the best snow that we've found.
:30:11
So, there's four or five lines
in here that we can rip.
:30:13
And it's just kind of a little warm-up
for the first shot of the day.
:30:16
Once you drop in, the slough's
going to be on either side of it.
:30:19
So you gotta get on the middle.
:30:21
Ifyou don't get on the middle,
you're gonna get pulled off either side.
:30:24
There's a little
chocolate chip to the left.
See it?.
:30:27
We land the helicopter,
and you look at this big mountain face
and you're, like, "Okay, pick your line."
:30:32
And I'm trying to look
at the mountain that way,
but I don't see it.
:30:36
There's just so much going on.
It's hard to focus.
:30:44
[Perata ]
They are so out of their element up here.
:30:47
It's a gut-wrenching feeling
when you know they can do it,
:30:51
but are they gonna
be able to do it?
:30:59
[ Man On Radio ]
Three, two, one.
