11. Slvsh
Slvsh (pronounced slush) is a awesome skiing YouTube channel. Created by Matt Walker and Olympic Gold Medalist Joss Christensen the channel creates videos using the classic rules of the game of SKATE.
Taking place in the terrain park, two skiers go head to head, taking turns to call tricks that they each must execute. Failing to land the given trick results in gaining a letter of the word ‘slvsh’; the loser being the first to complete the word. The channel has attracted some of the world’s best with the likes of Henrik Harlaut and Alex Hall featuring on the channel.

I've saved the best for last, this is one of my absolute favorite youtube channels which combines hiking and skiing adventures - and tackling all manner of peaks across the US and occasionally in Europe and elsewhere.

The channel's videos often feature the group tackling new peaks, ascending and descending on skis (when there's snow), and blasting through terrain in record time.
