  • Black run la Sache is one of the most magical in the Alpes. At 10 km long it's a steep black most of the way down. It can have moguls all the way down on some occasions.During this run there weren't that many moguls but it was probably about as icy as a piste can get. It is located in Tignes side of the Espace Killy ski domain that Tignes shares with Val-d'Isère.

      Hi Noah, the ice does seem a lot more difficult on a board. Unfortnalty that was definitely a fall.

    • @ShalomBrother
      @ShalomBrother 3 роки тому +4

      What I’ve noticed with the couple of boarders I ski with is that they boot out a lot when it gets steep. They get away with it when the snows softer as their heels/toes dig in and they can still get enough edge grip to stay upright. As soon as it gets hard and icy they’re on their backsides more than they’re upright and neither of them understood why until I pointed it out.
      If you’ve got big feet or a narrow board it may be worth looking into how much your feet overhang and maybe get a wider board 👍🏼

    • @donalddarko3676
      @donalddarko3676 3 роки тому +1

      @@ShalomBrother Interesting point. Obviously it is much harder to balance and get an edge on ice. If it is solid ice the best thing is to not put your edge on it. It wont grip and you'll just fall over. As you get on a steep icey run you have to wisely pick where you can slow down.

    10km? Where they get these numbers? The Sache itself is only 3km long, the whole run from top to bottom is 4.5km. You've done it in 6min, so if it was 10km, your average speed would be 100km/h, but we see only about 50km/h at best. But, anyway, good job, that's fast! ... 😀👍

    Nice run, great views, thanks for the video. However, km/h and mph are fairly useless, it looks like they're showing stats from some other run. They totally don't correspond to your actual run. Your highest speed was clearly around 1:44 mark in the video, not 2:24. At 2:15 you are pushing up because it's uphill, and it's showing 50 km/h. Then you barely start moving, and it's showing 107 km/h? Please fix your speedometer/stats. This video title is very misleading.

    @liamgaul 10 місяців тому +1

    I'm pretty sure La Sache is far shorter than 10 km. I did it a couple of times recently and it was showing up as about 4.5 km on my watch. You did it in under 6 minutes (including the top bit which technically isn't even La Sache, but let's ignore that detail) and would need to average over 100 km/h for it to be 10 km, which obviously wasn't the case. So why do so many websites list it at 10 km when it's demonstrably only about half that?

    • @Alexskiing
      @Alexskiing  2 місяці тому +1

      Hi Liam, you are correct, I do not know for this run, but I always go by what the ski resort's website says. It's the only reference I have, but I get what you are saying. I know in some resorts they like to measure the distance you cover skiing, which is obviously not fair as others use the direct route. Another factor can be history. I don’t think this applies to this run, but lots of runs used to be connected and longer in the 1960s when there was more snow.

    • @liamgaul
      @liamgaul 2 місяці тому

      @@Alexskiing taking the distance you travel is a good point. Obviously this would be hugely variable between people and so not a good metric to go by. My GPS should have tracked the actual distance I traveled, including turns but maybe I turned less than others. GPS also won't track small changes in direction and might average out a lot of distance into a straighter line. Still, 4.5km to 10km is a huge leap. Surprised this has not been picked up anywhere else for such a popular resort.

    • @Alexskiing
      @Alexskiing  2 місяці тому

      I get what you are saying it’s over estimated. If you think if ski resorts add a bit of km hear and there the resort suddenly looks bigger than a competitors on paper. Theres a guy called Laurent Vanat he looked into it in a report a few years back. I think most resorts over estimate.

    What makes a run black? I am still new but intermediate. I visited a ski resort where the blue was sooo damn steep, 5m wide track with exposed rocky cliff on the side, no catch nets. It was way out of my comfort zone but this one seems better as its not rocky, there are no cliffs. What makes a slope black and should I attempt it? Bit scared.

    • @alihiridjee-asaria6164
      @alihiridjee-asaria6164 Рік тому

      It definitely looks shallower than it is, I just skiied this run a few days ago in perfect conditions (nice soft snow), and still couldn't carve too much as it is quite steep. A good indication of how steep a piste is, Is how the person is skiing, if they are mostly skidding (to shed off speed as opposed to carving) you can tell it is rather steep. Carving on some parts of this slope would be suicide!

That one was being prepped for the WC when I was at the opening weekends. Looking forward to your video! Counting down for my holiday in January. Maurienne valley this time.

    2 falls in 2 videos? Come on pal, not like you that! 😂
    If you don’t take a tumble every now and again, your not skiing hard enough👍🏼

      Haha hi Ryan I have been skiing in different resorts over the past few weeks so I have a few videos to upload. I thought I would get the two falls out the way first so you forget about them before next season lol 😂

    2:14 u look like 15 km/h not 50 .... and after your are clearly not at 110km/h !... belle descente sinon.

    U sure it is 10km long? Cause vertical drop 1000m on 10km is definitely not a black slope… used to fo to Les Arcs where Aguile Rouge is about 8km and 2000 m drop and it is not a black slope. Just sayin… anyway nice skills to handle that icy surface! Hat off to u sir

    This is some serious clickbait, or do you actually believe that speedometer reading to be accurate? LOL. Obviously it was malfunctioning, as you weren't even close 110 km/h when the reading said so. In reality you were going around 60 km/h at that point.
