A Final Powder Field on Skis… Before the Season Ended Abruptly on the Snowboard
A Final Powder Field on Skis… Before the Season Ended Abruptly on the Snowboard YouTube video by MTB Jay

This is likely the last powder field that I skied this winter. The last powder day was on a snowboard two weeks ago and took an abrupt end. I guess that I have to service my bikes now. I really hope that I will be able to ride them before summer... πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

I don't know what happened πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ. I think that Bluesky is definitely not the place to promote a YT channel or to post videos... As you said earlier it's more for sunset pictures and political opinions... and unsolicitated dick pics, of course

I hope you'll enjoy this shorter format.

Here it is. The film of the 2nd day of our skitouring weekend. This time in Nax, Valais, Switzerland. We used lifts and skinning to open the terrain. It was tons of fun!

The continuation of this mountain bike tour in Valais, Switzerland. After the ridge and the alpine stage, here is a fast and flowy forest descent! It was tons of fun!

After a year on Bluesky, I see it’s not the right place for my outdoor, visual, adrenaline‑driven content. Even if it’s been a nice ride, it feels like trying to grow a fire without oxygen. I’ll still post sometimes, but I’m also heading to spaces where the sky is more blue for what I do.
Peace,
Jay

Thanks for the feedback! Yes I may include that kind if data in the next videos. For info this ride was about 25km with a bit less than 1200m of total height gain/loss.

Finally, here's the first part of this MTB ride in Valais we did with some friends last September. Good vibes and stunning scenery included! It's a ride on a wonderful ridge and through alpine meadows. I'd love to have your feedback on this one. #mtb #mountainbike #switzerland #valais #wallis

Bad weather is arriving from the north over the Jura ridge. Clouds a crawling over the summits and are starting to release snow while the sun is setting. Some typically stunning western Switzerland scenery. #photography #weather #winter #sunset #switzerland #jura

Hi, Happy New Year! I usually attach my camera to the chin bar because I wear a full-face helmet most of the time. Otherwise, I use a mount under the visor. I tried a chest mount: I like the angle, but I find it too unstable and I'm a bit worried about my ribs in case of a crash.
