Presented by Arcteryx.com. Jordan Manley visits La Grave, France. He talks about his love for the French Alps and how this place changed his skiing forever.
comme ils disent et le montrent si bien, cet endroit ne vieillit jamais et nous offre une vraie dose de liberté et de bonheur, j'ai la chance d'y aller chaque hiver depuis que je suis tout petit et c'est comme un petit coin de paradis dans lequel je veux replonger à l'instant même ou je le quitte... longue et belle vie à cet endroit mythique et aux personnes qui le parcours en le respectant.
"they say the birds here carry the souls of fallen skiers and climbers who lived and died in this mountains. When you watch them soaring the wind, you imagine who they might have been. If they could speak. wonder what they would tell us" Who tf put onions in here...
This amazing short film (part 1 & 2) was originally an Arcteryx featured video in one of their blogs/on their website. Powder seems to have scooped it up and ruined the best part of the short film by getting the audio wrong during Commes does Enfants. Shame.
Not the same anymore, Alpe D Huez or the SATA group took over and the times are changing fast. Big Investors with the wrong vision. Sad times ahead, just the vibe and changes in the 3 years since they took over are noticeably more dramatic every year. Wasting money on commercialising the place. Its pretty much a ski resort now.
That's correct it's one of the only place where there is one to my knowledge. This one indicates that you're going on the glacier which is obviously a dangerous place so it's important to let people know. To my knowledge there is also one near the bottom of the mountain because there is a 200m cliff afterwards. There rest is blank, come check it out its great stuff
Some of my buddies think I'm crazy, but "tactical"skiing through rocks, trees, manky snow and other obstacles is WAY more fun and challenging to me than a wide open bowl full of perfect powder!
..."living and surviving in these mountains"... - That kind of lines is exactly what a freeskier needs to loose all credibility. Issue is, these guys just can't stop issuing them! Great skiing though.
We have seen this hundreds of times. Never gets old.
The audio seems to have gone funny around 4 minutes in

"There is no rope, there is no sign" 3:48. But...at 2:54 there is a rope and a sign.

7:35 very true, not many people (even skiers!) think this way

Nice!
I wish they would fix the sound. 😢
Amazingg
belle video poetique
So awesome. What is the french song in this vid?
"Comme des enfants (Le Matos Remix)" and "Fondu au noir" by Cœur de pirate
Fucking Awesome!
Mute the sound...
You don't link French singer ? Refreshing compare to the globalization of English singers... The song in from French women singer : 'Coeur de Pirate'.
