Sigma sane

Hi tyler

Flaine is sick! Not on Epic though! You should head to Andermatt where I made my videos in previous seasons… plenty of good stuff there also

@@Simonjburgess some day

So much fun. Used to love instructor training at Sun Peaks. First lift, bit of fresh on piste and just blast it

I love Flaine mate. It’s so good. You got anything booked for this year?

Hey thanks for watching and getting in touch. I haven’t experienced heel slip on either pair. Could just be a fit for your foot issue. I do lace them all the way including the top loops which pulls them in a bit snugger. If in doubt I would get into a shop and wear them for a while.

Nice, how did you find Pejo? I loved it

If you are planning more serious hiking in winter conditions then I’d go for something firmer that could take a crampon. These meet all of my needs, walking in the Lakes, and in snow around the ski resorts I visit. I wouldn’t wear it ascending a mountain in snow. The fit of the mid and low is very similar. The mid just offers a bit more weather protection

How you been?

@@Simonjburgess not to bad man selling house and buying another so lots going on , how you bet your gearing up for some travels

Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed the walk when you completed it. What is next on your list?

No worries, I’ll try and get that one sorted for you 👍 is there anything particularly that you’d like to know?

@@Simonjburgess there is not yet a single video review of the low shoe. general shots and info’s are interesting. thanks a lot!

@@viaviod perfect, I’ll get on it

😂😂😂 soft landing to be fair

Def agree it’s up there with the best. When you know the resort you start to avoid the peak traffic and hotspots. Will you be going back this season?

@@Simonjburgess yes, we always stay at the Hotel Diana just in front of the stadium, we went to Cortina last year which I thought was vastly overrated, not one hotel in the whole resort with ski-in ski-out facilities

@@derekbarnes370 nice. That means you are pretty central to everything there. Hope you enjoy the trip. Noted about Cortina.. I prefer the Cortina in Japan, epic!

🏂🏂

Shhh don’t give me away. 😊

Thanks ❤

Thirlmere is great. I do have a soft spot for Bassenthwaite as I pass it nearly every day

Yeah I went boring on those ones! Next time i'll go all out on the Orange. If you can find somewhere to try them they are worth a shot... been very good for my uses, hopefully would work for you also. You must be getting plans ready for winter now?

What do think about them if comparing to OnCloudsurfer waterproof?

@@Mrupmind haven’t use the Cloudsurfer but I used to have On running shoes… really comfy but whenever I ran on gravel the stones would get stuck in the holes in the sole. I assume it would be the same with the walking shoes.

Ah sorry to hear that the views sucked! Well done for getting Yoke and Ill Bell. Luckily Froswick will still be there for the next time

Agreed. Sky Express also a great lift, especially given links from there over to Nevada. Canyon accesses these runs directly, and … at peak times often has a shorter queue than Sky. Although to be fair the area can become a bit of a bottleneck for queues

@@Simonjburgess Agreed!

Ok, I’ll try that, thanks!

@@alexdigiuseppe6898 the red is well worth testing yourself on. The upper section under the lift station is narrow and can be a bit tricky if it’s busy or conditions are naff… but after that it’s such a nice run… some great views if you get tired legs and want to chill for a bit!

@@EquuleusPictor TBF that’s not a bad shout at all. Morillon is a great place to learn and those runs certainly a big part of why

Personally I haven’t ridden the highpath in either Split or Solid. The decision will ultimately depend on where you want to ride and the typical conditions for there. Taka was great for me, especially on days with fresh snow. Had plenty of float with little effort

@@베로니카의투자생활 agreed, can confirm nobody was hurt.

Thanks so much! 🫶

Yes, Heavenly is accessible from both California and Nevada… I managed to avoid the casinos but remember eating a lot of ribs!

It’s one of my favourite resorts for sure, add it to the list

All good mate, how are you doing? Buzzing for you! That’ll be so good. Are you going for the season?

@@Simonjburgess Yes all good thanks mate.. I am going for the whole winter, working in the ski school as a Denmaster (Looking after the kids who don’t want to ski or board). Then hopefully get my CASI LEVEL 1 and Level 2.

@@JosephsSnowboardChannelthat’s exciting! Buzzing for you. Keep in touch and let me know how you get on

Yes, either by lifts or the train service that allows you to travel between the resorts. Are you planning to visit this year?

@@Simonjburgess yes I am planning or Andermatt or Sankt Moritz

Sadly not this year Cameron

@@Simonjburgess bummer, but I can’t wait for the moment it finally happens, if it ever does!

@@Simonjburgess thank you for responding, can’t wait for the next video!

@@cameronwood9276 definitely on my radar. I’d love to visit Heavenly again but also Palisades and Mammoth would be high on my list

Yeah, that’s a fair point. I find the latches are more fiddly if you want to change on the go and if wearing gloves… but tbf taking the time to stop and do it takes seconds not minutes

@@cameronwood9276 nice!! Good luck with the progression!

Always…

This exactly… you don’t need to spend £200+ to get quality these days

Thanks Mike, I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts on Saas Fee. I’m actually going to give Saas another try this year… so I’ll hopefully have an update or two about the resort. I left last time feeling similar to you… the lifts is what let’s it down. Hopefully with more time and a second chance I may be able to navigate it more efficiently.

Yeah it’s all personal preference and what works for one isn’t necessarily the best choice for someone else. I couldn’t get over how good of an all round board and size this was for me…. What board do you ride?

@@standardgeography2263 thanks for this! I’m glad I’m not the only one who see’s there is a problem to solve in Samoëns. Completely right about Morillon being a nice step up with the blues there. Nice that it’s linked to Samoëns by bus. But equally sad that the runs below the gondola now seem untenable. Fingers crossed that Samoëns can see the light and replace the Chariande 2 as a priority!

Good Luck with your job search. Wish you well!

Thanks for watching. You won’t be disappointed with Les Carroz. I think there is enough to get on with for budding intermediates/beginners… especially when you consider Morillon and Samoëns nearby too. If you get any questions nearer the time send them my way and if I can help I will

@@Simonjburgess very kind of you, thanks. We enjoyed following your channel last season, especially when the Grand Massif was dumped on heavily, fairly late in the season?! That is a question actually - I notice the runs at Carroz are a little lower than even Villars. How safe are we mid-Feb for decent coverage?

@@bhwhprods good question. Obviously each season is different… Morillon for example had no snow below the gondola last season which was rubbish… no runs back to the village. As for Les Carroz, you could ride to the bottom of Le Kedeuze, right through until the last weeks of the season. If conditions are worse, you will be able to take the gondola up and get over to Samöens and Flaine. Queues to Flaine can be hectic Feb half term though… so depending on your dates, expect a few lift lines at Vernant, Grand Vans and the Tete de Saix to leave Carroz.

@@bhwhprods yes, I was really lucky with the conditions in April! Flaine is fantastic for late season snow. I hope that you can get some fantastic Feb conditions

Just on way back from the ground. Great day and hopefully start of a positive season. How you doing? Thanks as always for watching.

Ah nice one, getting to watch the game at Emirates 👍 Am doing ok my friend. Just happy memories about my trip along that ridge, Ullock Pike etc, to Skiddaw - one of my favourites 👌 (was a long time ago, so nice to watch your video).

@@Ksmyth4792 nice, I like that Dodd walk as a single. Honestly.., you won’t be adding much to walk the ridge to Ullock Pike and Long Side. It’s a fairly mellow walk along the ridge. Whatever you decide… good luck and thanks for watching!

🙈😂 ooooops

👏👏
