I once snowboarded La Sarenne first thing in the morning after grooming and with a fresh 20cm dump. Best ride EVER!
😎😎
Awesome, thanks for sharing! Have skied this once about 8yrs ago - and am coming back on 25th Feb!! Cant blooming wait!!
Great! Hope you’ve booked up lessons/coaching already! I’m all full up that week!
Great video ! I'll be there next week, cant wait !
Excellent! Be sure to go to La Sarenne first thing in the morning when it’s nice and groomed… gets a lot bumpier through the day!
Usually I’d be saying “get in touch for time guiding/lessons”, but I’m afraid I’m full for the next few weeks!
Have a great time!
Thank You! Can’t really ski these days as i have health issues holding me back but it felt like i was there doing it. I could feel my rate pick up and a little shot of adrenaline when you hit some of the steeper sections and your speed picked up. 🤙
Hope you’re ok Rob! Thanks for watching. I’ve got a few similar videos of differ runs on this channel- and more coming soon!
Ah man, we booked Alpe d Huez a few weeks ago and I'm so pumped. Will be my second season and first time in the Alps!!
You’ll love it here in Alpe dhuez! If you need some coaching or off-piste guiding be sure to drop me a message!
Awesome man! good audio ;) thanks for the link
That little InstaMic is a dream- I used the same for Watersports if you’re flick through this channel! 👍
Really really really enjoy watching you ski. You' ski like a fish to water.
🤩🤩🤩
Hi Cookie, great video as always. Have you done a video on your story? As someone who's 2 passions are windsurfing and skiing, I would love to know how you broke through to top level coaching in both sports and in particular, how you got through the Equivalence French ski test - my understanding is it's absolutely brutal!
Could be worth cutting together something like that.
Becoming a ski instructor in France was tough, but worth every hour I spent for the job I now have!
Personally, I really hate the use of the fish eye lense effect. It is SOOOOOO overused. I want to see what everything looks like in a true natural presentation, not overt distortion.
That’s a shame… opening the view to a fish-eye style is really the only way to get the full view in!
Never mind, guess it’s not for everybody…. Although Alpe d’Huez is! 😜
@Ride-Along Sessions with Cookie! Don't get me wrong, Cookie. I love what you do. I'm envious. I'm also aware that all skitubers use a fish eye effect of one type or another half the time or more. I most likely appeals to a broader audience. Anyhow, keep up the good work. The more info, the better, especially like overseas travelers like me that can't always find accurate info at times
@@jimmydingo7138 🤩🤩🤩🤩
@Ride-Along Sessions with Cookie! Some people have that 360 view, where you can swipe and see everywhere. 👀
I can't always get it to work though.

Hi Mate, Love what you do, How are you tracking speed and other information, Is there an app you use on your phone or is it automatically integrated with the Insta One
I think on this one I recorded the data and used garmin virb to overlay on the video!
Will play a bit more with this in the winter coming! 👍
Great stuff, hope all the travel non sense ends soon to be back in the Alps
Where are your traveling from? UK travel to here was opened up a week ago! 👍
@@Cookiesports From Spain, It is open but with all the hassle I am staying in local spot Sierra Nevada
I’ve heard foot things about that area! Have a great time, and maybe see your in Alpe d’Huez next winter!
Love your videos really like the commentary!! I am heading with my friends to this resort end of February, how busy does it get at that time of year?
Hi Will!
Thanks for watching!
Last week in February is school holiday in parts of Frances and Europe, it won’t be as busy as mid-Feb, but certainly not as quiet as January or March!
However it does mean they’ll be fireworks & a ski show on Wednesday 23rd, as well as other animation events going on!
@@Cookiesports thank you for the heads up! Yeah we can't wait to get out there from the UK I will update how we get on once I'm back 😉
@@Cookiesports Your videos are amazing! I am also heading to Alpe d'huez early feb 4th-11th. Is this a busy time?
Hi Ben!
Thanks for watching!
4-11 February is the first week of the European holidays, not as busy as the two middle weeks of February, but not as quiet as now!
I’ve still got some time that week for coaching/guiding/lessons if you’d like!
Drop me a message
Can wait to get there on the 21st. Jan.
You’ll have a great time- message me if you want any coaching or guiding! 🙌🙌
@@Cookiesports indeed we will, love tge videos
Hey cookie have you an address toDM
@@johnjoemccoy8780 Instagram handle is in the videos (cookiesport) and my email and web address in the description! 👍👍👍
🤩🤩🤩
@@Cookiesports Thanks man. Do you also ride with sit-skiers? Love to explore Alpe d'H with you. (or some other place like Portes du Soleil / Le Mur Swiss)
@@griffinontheslopes I’d be happy to ride with sit skiers, guide you around and help out- although I must be honest my experience with them is minimal!
@@Cookiesports Ey Mr Cookie. No worries, i've tried to send you a DM/email, not sure if you received it.
@@griffinontheslopes not received anything yet… will keep an eye out though! 👍👍
Beautiful, mellow run, excellent skiing, perfect sunlight....but bad snow. Typical European crud
Bad snow? Must have had unlucky timing… generally really good! 🤩
Is the piste really black or more like blue or red?
It’s changeable… done on a quiet day, and early in the day- it’s a red… like in this video… done later in the day after 1000’s of people have skied it it’s a whole different game!
Did Sarenne via cassini for the first time today, which route do you prefer?
Great! Amazing snow just now! I like to mix it up… different routes each time! 🤩
I’ve always wondered - a run that takes that long on the way down - how long does the lift take to the top?????
DMC 1 & 2, the Pic Blanc… I guess from first going through the lowest barrier to putting skis on… about 30-40mins.
Even more from L2A base, up Jandri to the top of the T-bar glacier! That’s about a hour!
@@Cookiesports Thanks! Still a pretty good ratio! The runs at the mountain in my state are all pretty short (longest one is about 3-4 minutes down, 15 minutes up), had always wondered if for those ultra long runs you do just have to take a LONG time in the chairlift, and evidently, the answer is yes!
it's a blue run. I did it when I was a virtual beginner. Nothing vaguely scary though my legs got very tired. A lot of people in NZ consider Europe skiing better than NZ skiing, but I think the all mountain terrain at Turoa, for example, makes European runs feel like a trail. You are kind of locked into a trail. Turoa feels like the whole mountain is off piste. both of these video are on-piste. ua-cam.com/video/CXf3ZOWGNFo/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/37BtRjkjtxI/v-deo.html
Stay tuned… new video coming soon showing why this is a black run! 🥳
Yes, looks like red
🤩🤩
How do you get qualified as a ski instructor?
Number of different ways… if you’re British this is a good start for you…. Basi.org.uk
