Our Third and last Couloir on Les Dents du Midi | LA FORTERESSE - Short Ski Movie
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 гру 2022
- A self-documented journey about two skiers who push their limits on the legendary Dents du Midi.
After skiing Les Dents du Midi last year, we started looking at other possibilities on this legendary mountain. Couloir La Forteresse caught our eyes right away. For us this seemed like the perfect line to push our limits and make our connection with this mountain even stronger. In April 2022 the conditions lined up, we went for a new descent from le Dents du Midi for one last time.

Chapeau! The lines, the edits, the mixing of drone and helmet footage, just wow!
Crazy adventure!! I have hiked to Haute Cime a few years ago and I know how impressive the slopes are on the north side. As a Swiss, I also like how you gave voice to a local guide who knows this mountain by heart.
Breathtaking, blood curdling, heart stopping
Your guys are cracy, genious, lucky, brilliant ... This movie is a beautiful honest and a very authentic piece. Thanks god you made it down safe. And hopefully you had enough of this skiing-in-nofallzone-madness 😬.
Congrats of making it to our "official selection" and we are greatful that you took part on our tour, unforgettable.
Thank you guys so much! We appreciate you as well. We had so much fun ;)
I have no words for how much respect I have for trips like this. Thank you for sharing...
Thank you man! Appreciate it
Congratulations guys, beautiful work, beautiful footage. By far the most crazy (and deadly) line of the dents. That middle lock is just so scary. The adrenaline is palpable, as the relief of getting to the final exit. Glad you made it back safe. May the gods of the mountain keep protecting you :).
je crois que c'est une des meilleurs vidéo du net!
This was incredible to watch chaps! Hiked Haute Cime this summer, it's an incredible place. Can't wait to see what this season has in store.
Thank you Pete! Haute Cime is also a beauty.
Peeeerfect!! Shots, editing, music… well done
These lines are getting insane.
Please be safe out there.
Its so peaceful in the snow. Shame there will be a time without it.
Wow! You kept me in tension all video long. Congrats for combining great footage and editing from different sources of cameras. Keep rolling!
That is so great to hear. Thank you!
It's really impressive - I passed in front of Dents hundreds of times, wondering if there was anything up there that could be skiable. And you actually did it!
Haha that is so fun to hear. We have also done that a hundred times

Vet zeg!!
Impressive and so so scary haha!
Coin magnifique où j ai habité trente ans, j ai même fait le couloir de la Jaune à ski il y a pas mal d années, assez facile.
Schitterend!
Dope!! For all the “skimo” posers, this is real ski mountaineering 🤙🤙
Woah ! Impressive work, so stressful to see you guys finding the good path in this huge mountain, well done !
Quelqu'un peut retrouver le son qui débute à 9:30 ? C'est une tuerie !
Thanksss
Wow cool gays!!! Strong line
Haha guys this is some QUALITY WORK man! Very keen to learn how you've build it up so well. Changing positions, the shot and audio plan. What happend to those epic e bikes on top? :-p
Thank you man! We might make a video about this one day ;)
We picked the e bikes up after our train ride.
Congratulations on a well executed descent, lovely video.
👍👍👍
Magnifique, c est vraiment la plus belle ligne des dents!!!! Mais comme ils ont fait ça en traversée, qui récupère les vélos?
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Très belle exploit. Dommage que la musique ne soit pas de mon gout.
just wanna have a next life to do it despite they're in a deadline in rock quality.
congrats!
Shuuuuu!!!
You keep on amazing me
That is good to hear haha ;)
Well skied and nice filmography. Not much talking-heads, thanks ;-) Aerial views steady. Line drawn over is very useful. POV cam smoother than most but could slow and linger on the scenes even more for the audiences benefit. (Still waiting for someone to use following drone POV.) Similarly, some of the edit jumps are too brief for the viewer to reorient easily. The narration of the veteran alpinist was a welcome complement and added depth to the story. He (Jacky Pochon?) could have been better acknowledged. The end scenes of the valley village added a nice cultural flavor. Thanks for all the work on the production. Looking forward to further adventures.
Thanks Carmen!
