OK, I didn't know that... I suppose it's all business for them...

Thank you so much for this message and I'm really glad you are making good use of my videos :-)

I liked it... as it was late season, the snow was soft and slow, but I think it would be much better earlier..

To be honest, I don't think it matters too much for this type of terrain... I think all mountain skis help most with powder as they tend to be wider...

@@ChasingSnow Right, thanks for the heads up, it'll be just a choice then of which carving ski brand I like from main stream to expensive like Stockli, which I'll demo in Val desire when I'm ready.

Yes, start with carving skis and see where it leads... I have two pairs of all mountain which are my favourites... one 183cm and the other 189cm, which looks long on paper but with the rockers, the actual surface that touches the snow is comparable to much shorter skis... however the rockers also help in powder...

For 4 Vallées, it's the area that needs an upgrade...

@@filipamanovic9515 da, može...

Glad it brought back some memories :-)

There are a lot but the theme this season is the big ones...

Those conditions are not ideal, hopefully you'll get better weather next time...fresh snow makes a difference...

@@ChasingSnow Yeah, 🤞. FWIW the instructor 'Nick' in my 1 to 1 last Friday after following me down the main slope a few times was happy with my balance ect on pizza turns down the main slope, no loss of control, slow but steady pace, and reasonably comfortable turns. Plus IF in your travels you ever get to Les Deux Alpes, on the button lift on Diable, three quarters up if you look to your right, that is where I fell twice.

Poor ski patrol ;-) yes, the following day was better though I was at Sölden... 😀

Glad you enjoyed it, cheers!

@ChasingSnow I went in 2015 it was amazing. I have just booked in December 14th to the 23rd 2024 bellacote la plagne I pray it snows I'm taking my son.

For large resorts like that, you should be fine for snow cover... enjoy 😉

@@ChasingSnow really appreciate your reply dude 😎

Yeah, I think my visibility was worse than the camera...

Thanks for that Bart... I'm heading your way and should be there in a couple of days... I'll send you a message on WhatsApp...

It was, soft spring snow...

I'm not really familiar with this resort... I'd have to look into it...

no worries, only do it if u want to :)

This was from the end of last season... so snow was soft...

End of last season, the date is in the description...

I think you'll enjoy Avoriaz...you could even ski into Switzerland from there...

That's the way it used to be for me also, I would book accommodation, buy the pass and ski whatever conditions I got... so there were many white out days, which made it difficult if the resort was new to me, as it would be difficult to know where I was... but now I rarely ski on days like that... and in this case, just decided to call it a day... the wet snow was sticking to my visor so visibility was really bad... Well, I'm glad you ended up getting at least one nice day... having 6 days of poor visibility is pretty bad...

@@ChasingSnow if there’s no sun I don’t ski. Period

That's normally my rule, especially as I'm filming, but this day was an exception...

Similar experience on Hintertux a year ago or so, white sky and snowing.. could only guess where the horizon might be! Thankfully I'm only a tank of fuel and a ski pass drive away these days, when the weather app says good to go I'm off!

​@@withoutwroeirsbest way to get the most :-)

Wow! How?

Schumacher aside, bless him...many people die skiing each year...that in itself shows what some people are willing to risk doing this exhilarating sport...but we are talking at the extreme level...

I think the higher resorts will be fine... the lower ones have already started closing...

It really is! Cheers!

I use Virb Edit for that...

Cheers! Yeah, not much has changed...

Cheers! 19 Dec 2023... it's in the description :-)

@@ChasingSnow thanks a lot! Obviously did not read the description 🤦‍♂️

Enjoy... I'm planning to go back also... :-)

Yes, they should be busy then...a lot of people go skiing in January...

@ thank you 👍🏻

Yes, I do that itinerary next, about three videos away... another one that's not on the map... stay tuned :-)

It really depends on the season but late January is normally good... personally, I like March...

Yes, this side definitely needs an upgrade...

Haha, now that's funny... though I would say it's a similar experience... normally when I hit a patch of slow slow snow... both skis suddenly stop and I tend to go head first... in this case, the left one did and I went into a spin...

😂

Exactly, in that case, most beginners take the lift back... but in some cases, not even that is possible. That's why I would suggest staying to beginner friendly resorts at the beginning... you wouldn't take advantage of what the larger resorts offer but you would still pay for it...

It's in the descriptions - 2nd April 2024

Yes, I was surprised when I saw that as the snow was slow...

This was captured on March 7 2023... I am hoping this will be a good season though...

Ski like what? How should I be skiing?

@ looks like you’re just going straight downhill haha

@@maximilianblank this channel really isn't about my skiing, as you can't even see me... it's more about the resorts... I don't ski in straight line, I do go from side to side but the image stabilisation takes some of it out... however, I prefer that so the video shows a smoother run...

@ okai i understand 👍

@@maximilianblank Cheers!

It was 7th March 2023, the full video is linked...

Definitely... in my opinion, this place is better suited for that level...many more easy to access beginner and intermediate slopes...

Yeah, conditions were not the best towards the end of day... you'll see that in the next video for this resort...

Unfortunately, the GoPro does not record temperature...

+ 3

Glad you enjoyed! :-)

It's not on the winter map but there were marker poles, which I assume were for hiking purposes, so maybe on the summer map...

?

Yes, the proper side of the Matterhorn from here...

Thanks for that info... hopefully I'll get a chance to do that this season as I'm looking for those off-piste trails....

@ChasingSnow lots more ready to find ones as well... Like, go up to aguile Pearce, then continue hiking up the road/track in front of you when you get off the chair.... Ski down the opposite side after scrambling the top.... You are now in a massive offpiste terrain which naturally brings you back towards a piste after approx 30mins

@@markdormer7959 Cheers! One of my missions for this coming season, to discover these hidden trails... I think it will bring some awesome content...

Do you mean double M? I suppose it depends on the snow conditions, if it's icy, it will be more difficult as from memory, it can get quite steep, but it's also quite wide making it more manageable...

@ yes, sorry double M. Not sure why I said plan 🤣

Cheers! :-)

See what's open as I don't think the whole area will be accessible by then... I'm also planning a few trips this season, hoping to capture all of Zermatt and Cervinia...however, I'm not that familiar with the resort to offer advice...

@ Which resorts will you be doing this winter? I can't wait to see your videos

The theme this season, I think, will be the big ones... the channel gets a lot more interest with the more popular resorts... I'll also do some in Italy but not sure exactly which ones... I'm going with the flow... :-)
