Beautiful stuff. In the early days they called it snurfing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snurfer
Probably beetle infestation.
I always find snowboarding videos tension inducing. The music really felt dissonant to me… calm and soothing over what I find to be very stressful footage. Then again, the only times I went skiing were super stressful and painful. I’m sure someone somewhere finds this calming, but, ugh… had to stop halfway.
A 13 year old doing something dumb? I can’t believe it!

I believe they currently call this “noboarding”.
…And a quick online search proves my memory was acurate

At first it seemed like the shots had to be the result of a drone. Upon further review, I agree it’s not a drone.
But its not just another boarder with a camera.
That guy has to have the camera mounted on some sort of specialized boom.
Perfect choice of music. The view once they get out of the haze of blowing snow is stunning.

Those trees all look dead. Maybe the location of a forest fire? I thought I saw a few saplings sticking up through the snow.
Great video, but sad day all around in winter sports, especially skiing and boarding: https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/snow-sports/pioneering-inspiring-snow-sports-filmmaker-warren-a-miller-has-died-at-his-home-on-orcas-island-at-the-age-of-93/
