Looks like he is measuring wind speed which is why the reading is so high while he is walking/the arrow is pointing in the opposite direction he's traveling/the direction is off by a few degrees generally/the speed fluctuates at a high rate. Granted the title says his "speed" and he has a sponsored link to a GPS product so clear intent to mislead or lie. If he were really tracked from GPS the "ground speed" would represent significantly slower as you're traveling along both the X and Y plane of dimension Y increasing with incline and GPS would only represent change in X.
You have exactly the same ski-style i have, speed , turning everything and this is my most favorite slope of all times!!, it has changed a lot tho since all these years🥰🥰🥰
I did 119,9 in Les 2 alpes, it looks slow but very ez to do, make sure there's nobody and enough place to slow at the end and go strait. 100kmh is very ez to do actually, more than you could thought.
Well that was tedious. More fun skiing the Lake Louise Downhill after the Norams are over. 75 to 80 mph on 173 Nordica Spitfire Pro’s. Skiing that speed with a traditional Latin Mass Priest dressed in a black cassock with a Rosary flapping behind him is a singular experience.
went to ski and break my spine and right knee last month. and my mouth was hit badly by a helmet that almost cut my lips off. have to cancel all my ski plans and lie on bed to see if my back heals as expected so that i can ski next year. I was skiing at some 40kph at that moment and luckily my spinal nerve was not injured or I will have to spend rhe rest my life on a wheel chair, if that didnt kill me immediately.
Okay after doing some rough calculations I worked out it is actually possible he is going 100 km/h. At one point in the video he is going around 100 km/h average during 10 seconds while passing 18 ski poles in total. Rearranging the S=D/T formula we are left with D=SxT. 100 km/h in m/s is around 28 m/s so if we multiply it by 10,51 seconds (time taken to pass 18 poles) we are left with a total distance of 294,28m. Divide that by 18 and you get the average distance between poles, which is 16,34. If you have ever skied you will know that the poles are more or less this distance apart. So he is going 100 km/h. Does it look like it? Absolutely not. When skiing yourself you know 100 feels a lot faster and that is maybe due to the increased wind noise and adrenaline going through your body. In the video it probably doesn’t look like 100 because of how wide the track is, the smoothing of the GoPro and because you are not actually there. Also, the video is not synced correctly with the gopro speedometer, explaining why it said he was going 22 while walking. I hope this cleared a few doubts and arguments in the comments lol 😂

I've boarded this ... it is not a black really, apart from a few small sections. Having said that, it is a very steep red which frankly is sooo much better. Truly one of the greatest runs in the Alps (apart from the long flat traverse to the village of course).
He slowed down significantly for the kiddo to 30. And he did not endanger any other skiers. Though, if other skiers take the hole slope, from far left to far right, that's not how you ski.
In the video he goes maximum 80kph, I have skied at 100kph and even 120kph the whole speedometer is bs and besides the slope was at max a red and even green on some parts
the overlay is like 3 seconds ahead of the video that's all. You can predict his turns by looking at the compass so I don't think there is anything wrong except timing
This is why I love skiing, it makes you feel so free. I had to cancel my Christmas trip and my spring trip this year. I’m so excited to go skiing in 2 weeks!
I’ve personally done it’s a black cause it’s bloody long I bombed the whole thing took like 30-45 mins and there is no way off the slope so if ur a bad skier u would hate it
Love the video - I was there a few days ago. Sadly you seem to miss the start of Sarenne - right turn at about 1:05 (several skiiers standing looking down the steep bit).You did Cassini and then joined Sarenne at around the 29 marker. I did the same - twice! It's hard to find the entrance. The whole valley is lovely though. I agree with most commentators - it isn't really a black, it just has a couple of tricky bits - I think its creative resort marketing. They also say it's 16km when it's more like 10 or 11km.
Oh wow , this brought back so many memories and the lactic acid . I’m 64 now and not been for quite a few years I do miss the fresh air , laughter and sleep . And the smell of those log cabins thanks . You’ve got me all fired up now ? I was a BASI ski instructor and at one point raced in the Martini championships slalom came 3rd back in 1974
I just find that skiing so fast among non experts skiers is foolish and crazy for the safety of others skiers. We often see those loose canon on intermediate ( bleue in Canada) skiing carelessly for others. If you want to race go in competition otherwise calm down, relax and enjoy. One other thing is the fact that in Europe we often see beginners skiers in red tracks ….with no helmet …specially in France.

i skied with my father and a friend of his over 100kph when i was 10 years old. its not somthing to brag about. but when you get 200kph tho, that is something to brag about
kek 200 kph is literally impossible if you dont want to kill yourself world record is like 250 and they wear aerodynamic suits, but there is nothing appreciable in going that fast in my opinion, just dangerous and not fun for the other riders on the slope
well that was really stupid--way too fast through all those skiers. Somebody who might want to teach you a lesson about safety and consideration might just take their ski out and slice your leg off--ooo ouch; do you think you'd learn to slowdown in traffic then?
I've been on this. There are some parts that genuinely deserve to be black but it's pretty easy anyway. I mean I've skied down here with many unconfident skiers and they've all managed to finish it.
Steep sections and ice aren't the only things that make up a black run. The lengths of a route also contributes to their grades. Provided you don't take sandwich snacks every 50 metres and you ski the whole piste in one run it would actually be very tiring. Hence why it is graded as black.
How I wished I really planned my first time trying the ski as it made me almost killed myself 🤣 no professional lesson I go up the hill of Tsagkadsor armenia slide down the hill, fell down once like an acrobatic and second fall was me intentionally moved backwards with my feet up as I’m going towards the Clint 🤦🏼♀️ but it is really an experience I will treasure ❤️ trying something new without hesitation to do it..
Well, to each his own, but crowded narrow trails are my least favorite place to ski fast. All it takes is for one yahoo below you to do something unpredictable for it to turn into disaster.
Guess you don't know about ALL skiers are suppose to ski in control. Guess your another snowflake where that rule doesn't apply to you. Just other skiers.
Uphill skier/rider always has the responsibility. You crash into a unpredictable kid downhill from you, you can pay ALL of the kid's medical bills. Doesn't matter if the kid changed directions at the last second. You're the one that is going to pay no matter what. If you had left enough of a buffer around the kid, you wouldn't have collided. That's why uphill skier is always at-fault.
Firstly, this shouldn't be a black. There's nothing difficult about it. Little ski groups are going on it. Secondly, that is absolutely 100kph. If you ever go in a car, record the view out of the front and I guarantee it will look much slower than what you feel is happening, especially for the driver. Cameras largely fail to resemble what we see with our own eyes but I have no doubt that there was a point he was going over 100kph. It still isn't very impressive though because anyone can ski in a straight line.
Somehow I get a big fear of heights on these very small runs on the side of a mountain. I’m scared I’ll fall off the side. I’ll much rather go down a nice wide one
Get a few hours of private lessons, it should fix that issue because the teacher should be able to teach you control on the smallest of paths. Had the same issue, then a friend gave me a few lessons and it just helped my confidence on those small paths enormously.
Love this track and love l'Alpe d'Huez. No matter the color, it's such a nice moment, starting at 3300m down to 1800, 15km of pure beautiful mountain. When, like me, you don't want to take the risk of skiing out of the limits.
I went down this run after watching this video. On the day I it was sunny but had snowed for 2 days straight. The whole run down was about 6ft deep snow and took me 30 minutes. Was so hard due to the moguls that had formed and the extremely narrow paths. I didn't have powder skis at all so nearly kept sinking.
After watching the video I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't believe that 1 this is a black run (it doesn't even look like a red...) and 2 the speed is really wrong
@Flavio C Thanks for the comment, I have currently have 2013/2014 Rossignol Ti skis, Tecnica mach1 lv 120 boots. About 5 ft 9 (5ft 10 on a good day :D ) and I weigh shit loads over Christmas but normally around 12 stone.
This is how the ski tracks are going to hell. Longest black run, dont let me laugh. This is hardly red. I would rather give it a blue. What a shit show on these pistes, how about we go back to the right way to note a difficult or dangerous track so beginners actualy can ski save.
Looks far far far too easy to be a black, most signposts looked blue or green, and the speedometer is obviously wrong. But great footage, seemless video
Some things never change, no matter where you go. It's not the run which poses any kind of threat, it's the unskilled flailers...you've got to anticipate their moves at least 50 yards away. This looks like a nice, easy cruiser.
When you're going at this speed it becomes much easier to pass people. They almost look like they're going in slow motion. I find the faster I go, the easier to avoid the traffic because the time in which there can be a potential collision when passing someone decreases and you don't have to predict their movements as much.
Steep sections and ice aren't the only things that make up a black run. The lengths of a route also contributes to their grades. Provided you don't take sandwich snacks every 50 metres and you ski the whole piste in one run it would actually be very tiring. Hence why it is graded as black.
Just a quick question. Where do you wear your gropro? On your chest or on your helmet? I just bought the new hero 11 black and idk where should i put it, for now i've bought the helmet adapter and did a quick bike pov but it doesn't look as good as i though. Ty!
Me and some of my family go every year. We board the Saranne maybe 3 times in the week that we go and im devastated that this January we wont be doing it again. This video bought back all the good memories and adrenaline rush from dropping down that first cut. Hopefully 2022 we can get back there!
Nice video, looks like you got up there early before the run gets churned up. Unfortunately you missed a bit... should have followed the ESF guy over the edge to the right at 1:05. You went straight on and skied down Cassini before rejoining Sarenne at about 2:05 (check out the No.3 piste marker at 1:39). Guess you'll have to go back and ski it all over again :-)
Thanks Ian, guess I'll have to go back! There's so many routes down sometimes I get confused :) I did the Serenne via the Cristaux run this year, if you haven't tried that then you definitely should give it a go! It was amazing and totally empty
Sarennes was classified black in early time when snow was not worked out, so you had to do with icy snow at the top, deep snow fields in the medium section and rocky straits down the mountain. Plus the track length. With the carterpillars, the track is rather red except for the upper section where you must not fail (cliffs on the left of the track). The true challenge in Huez is the Tunnel, on the right of Sarennes : you go through a tunnel piercing the rock and then straight down the mountain.
has anyone actually checked if this is la serrene as someone who has done the route it seemed to me that at the top he actually takes tunnel onto herpie then la serrene which means the part that makes it a black run isn't in this video(super steep and narrow section of few hundred metres)
I did this same run in January but forgot to bring my helmet on the bus (we were staying at a neighbouring resort) so I had to wear a chicken hat that one of my friend’s had the whole way down lol. I’m not the most proficient skier in the world but wasn’t gonna miss out on the longest black slope in Europe. Had a couple big falls on the way down. Please don’t forget your helmet people!
There's been a lot of discussion about if this should be a black run so I have uploaded a video to discuss ruclips.net/video/LSwz46cG3S4/видео.html
Very nice all the best
Na that’s a red
It’s only near black with the bugles. The way you went down it’s hardly red.
What skis did you ski on..??
Rossignol pursuit 16

Exactly.. very suspicious speedo, and I'm not talking about the chalet hot tub.

Looks like he is measuring wind speed which is why the reading is so high while he is walking/the arrow is pointing in the opposite direction he's traveling/the direction is off by a few degrees generally/the speed fluctuates at a high rate.

Yep, I agree

Не, летающий лом, который вообще не кантуется, задал вектор и летит)

Every one can drive fast, but just some people can drive nice
agree....you're wasting a lot of terrain on the long radius-thing, granted most is groomed BLUE, but still.....
...and even fewer nice & fast......
man this run is hardly a blue, just easy groomer all the way down...
I've been on this. There are some parts that genuinely deserve to be black but it's pretty easy anyway. I mean I've skied down here with many unconfident skiers and they've all managed to finish it.
Steep sections and ice aren't the only things that make up a black run. The lengths of a route also contributes to their grades. Provided you don't take sandwich snacks every 50 metres and you ski the whole piste in one run it would actually be very tiring. Hence why it is graded as black.
@@Harry_Ng it’s groomed with no ice or trees or moguls or rocks or long steep parts
3:11 says 60, cap that’s 20-25 at most
I would say GPS Data isn't accurate at all. 2:25 speed 30-40kph? Really?
Love watching this guy just push through the crowd at the start. No patience with this one
As a relax-before-run snowboarder I'm sitting here like, is that normally what skiers do?😂
everyone sayin how this isn’t a black run. i agree, it’s a purple one
Wow. Amazing. Wished the video finished at the ski lift!
Guys that's the wind speed lmfao 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
How I wished I really planned my first time trying the ski as it made me almost killed myself 🤣 no professional lesson I go up the hill of Tsagkadsor armenia slide down the hill, fell down once like an acrobatic and second fall was me intentionally moved backwards with my feet up as I’m going towards the Clint 🤦🏼♀️ but it is really an experience I will treasure ❤️ trying something new without hesitation to do it..
Me and my mate spotted at 0:39
That's cool, well spotted hope you had a good week!
Ski fast, then no one can hit you from behind!
Well, to each his own, but crowded narrow trails are my least favorite place to ski fast. All it takes is for one yahoo below you to do something unpredictable for it to turn into disaster.
The only yahoo is the dickface going way too fast.
Guess you don't know about ALL skiers are suppose to ski in control. Guess your another snowflake where that rule doesn't apply to you. Just other skiers.
Uphill skier/rider always has the responsibility. You crash into a unpredictable kid downhill from you, you can pay ALL of the kid's medical bills. Doesn't matter if the kid changed directions at the last second. You're the one that is going to pay no matter what. If you had left enough of a buffer around the kid, you wouldn't have collided. That's why uphill skier is always at-fault.
@@thefatvegan5008 unfortunately a lot of people don't understand this
@@flashoflight8160 so true yet it seems a lot of people don't understand this
Firstly, this shouldn't be a black. There's nothing difficult about it. Little ski groups are going on it.
Secondly, that is absolutely 100kph. If you ever go in a car, record the view out of the front and I guarantee it will look much slower than what you feel is happening, especially for the driver. Cameras largely fail to resemble what we see with our own eyes but I have no doubt that there was a point he was going over 100kph. It still isn't very impressive though because anyone can ski in a straight line.
I mean, just watch the Speedometer at 0:25 He´s doing 30 standing still... And thanks RUclips algorithm this was a nice video to watch.
I've always wondered how fast I am skiing, now I know...100+ all the time. Anyway, very nice skiing in this vid.
Bee Gee the speed in this vid is wrong
Download the skitracks app. It tracks your topspeed and everything
Since when is going straight down with some "speed check" curves nice skiing?
Somehow I get a big fear of heights on these very small runs on the side of a mountain. I’m scared I’ll fall off the side. I’ll much rather go down a nice wide one
Get a few hours of private lessons, it should fix that issue because the teacher should be able to teach you control on the smallest of paths. Had the same issue, then a friend gave me a few lessons and it just helped my confidence on those small paths enormously.
Normally I don't like wind noise in a video, but in this case it perfectly adds to the sense of speed. Well done!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed.
@@Alexskiing FWIW, the first time I watched it, my reaction was 😨.
Where’s the part where a black run is involved? I didn’t see anything except blue groomers in this video…
passes a guy who is upright just chilling barely trying and kph is 40.. yeah.. ok
This is a blue line. greetings from the alps.
For sure, and actually green in most of places
Love this track and love l'Alpe d'Huez. No matter the color, it's such a nice moment, starting at 3300m down to 1800, 15km of pure beautiful mountain. When, like me, you don't want to take the risk of skiing out of the limits.
You can conveniently enjoy deep snow in the fields right to Sarennes track at 1:18
I went down this run after watching this video. On the day I it was sunny but had snowed for 2 days straight. The whole run down was about 6ft deep snow and took me 30 minutes. Was so hard due to the moguls that had formed and the extremely narrow paths. I didn't have powder skis at all so nearly kept sinking.
It's fairly obvious you're not reaching 100kph at any point
After watching the video I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't believe that 1 this is a black run (it doesn't even look like a red...) and 2 the speed is really wrong
Out of curiosity: what are your skis and boots? What's your height & weight? Your descent looks very smooth and stable. Great video!
@Flavio C Thanks for the comment, I have currently have 2013/2014 Rossignol Ti skis, Tecnica mach1 lv 120 boots. About 5 ft 9 (5ft 10 on a good day :D ) and I weigh shit loads over Christmas but normally around 12 stone.
He is using a newer go pro, which really helps with stabilizing the video. Not trying to take away from his abilities though.
I guess the speed is like 20kmh too high
No way a "black" run. Show me the "meat"!
It’s not very responsible to do down hill where you have other skiers... quite dangerous.
This is how the ski tracks are going to hell. Longest black run, dont let me laugh. This is hardly red. I would rather give it a blue. What a shit show on these pistes, how about we go back to the right way to note a difficult or dangerous track so beginners actualy can ski save.
I just imagine people going like “what the hell” when you pass them
damn, the ascent of that mountain must take like the whole day
With new technology of snowmachinery the snow is straight like highway .Skiing become really great pleasure in sunshine day.
If this is black where is the moguls or anything that looks like a black because this looks like a green pushing blue
Looks far far far too easy to be a black, most signposts looked blue or green, and the speedometer is obviously wrong. But great footage, seemless video
more like green run at 50 kph
Some things never change, no matter where you go. It's not the run which poses any kind of threat, it's the unskilled flailers...you've got to anticipate their moves at least
50 yards away. This looks like a nice, easy cruiser.
When you're going at this speed it becomes much easier to pass people. They almost look like they're going in slow motion. I find the faster I go, the easier to avoid the traffic because the time in which there can be a potential collision when passing someone decreases and you don't have to predict their movements as much.
Still its a red with difficult narrow parts. (I dont ski slopes in my freetime, just working on them :D)
Steep sections and ice aren't the only things that make up a black run. The lengths of a route also contributes to their grades. Provided you don't take sandwich snacks every 50 metres and you ski the whole piste in one run it would actually be very tiring. Hence why it is graded as black.
Assuming speed accuracy it is seriously stupid and dangerous passing kids at that speed.
Just a quick question. Where do you wear your gropro? On your chest or on your helmet? I just bought the new hero 11 black and idk where should i put it, for now i've bought the helmet adapter and did a quick bike pov but it doesn't look as good as i though. Ty!
Waw j’adore l’alpes et j’adore sarenne mais moi jmet 40min a la faire pas 7min 😱
Lovely stuff. Looking forward to doing the Sarenne in the next couple of years :-)
Me and some of my family go every year. We board the Saranne maybe 3 times in the week that we go and im devastated that this January we wont be doing it again. This video bought back all the good memories and adrenaline rush from dropping down that first cut. Hopefully 2022 we can get back there!
a groomer track is a "black run"?
make sure to watch out for those children and soccer moms...
I love all the guys commenting like they could outrun this guy on their super slider snow skates cause it feels faster than this looks ….ha
Nice video, looks like you got up there early before the run gets churned up. Unfortunately you missed a bit... should have followed the ESF guy over the edge to the right at 1:05. You went straight on and skied down Cassini before rejoining Sarenne at about 2:05 (check out the No.3 piste marker at 1:39). Guess you'll have to go back and ski it all over again :-)
Thanks Ian, guess I'll have to go back! There's so many routes down sometimes I get confused :) I did the Serenne via the Cristaux run this year, if you haven't tried that then you definitely should give it a go! It was amazing and totally empty
When was this?? (I was there on 16th Jan!) Don’t think I could find the proper route at the top either! Smashin videos! Keep up the good work man! : )
I wouldn’t say pointing your skis straight is good skiing
It's the only way I did it!
That backdrop though! Never been to Alpe d'Huez, but certainly added to my list now
kid:chilling sees alex
alex:100 miles per hour missile

You put other people at risk skiing past them that fast. Shame on you.
That is a really good slope, it’s definitely not a black run but the slope is just so flawless, no random bumps, just flat
Sarennes was classified black in early time when snow was not worked out, so you had to do with icy snow at the top, deep snow fields in the medium section and rocky straits down the mountain. Plus the track length. With the carterpillars, the track is rather red except for the upper section where you must not fail (cliffs on the left of the track).
The true challenge in Huez is the Tunnel, on the right of Sarennes : you go through a tunnel piercing the rock and then straight down the mountain.
Should not be a black track. A good red, but not a black. No ice, no bumps, most of the time very wide. Though au pure pleasure sking track.
Looks like a blue to me, even green on some parts. A black slope by definition is not groomed. And that is not 100kph neither. Beautiful sceneries tho
who is watching this before 2020 season
😅😅
😂😂
C'est assez impressionnant ! A cette vitesse, il faut anticiper ce que vont faire les autres skieurs. D'ailleurs, je n'en ai vu aucun vous doubler.
Thought this was steep gameplay, still stayed for the vid
has anyone actually checked if this is la serrene as someone who has done the route it seemed to me that at the top he actually takes tunnel onto herpie then la serrene which means the part that makes it a black run isn't in this video(super steep and narrow section of few hundred metres)
How in jezus name is this a black run????
I really don't understand, this is just smooth surface and not steep at all, this shouldn't even be red
this video makes me miss alpe d’heuz and skiiing wish I could do that in my lockdown but stuck in britian :/
Same :(
I did this same run in January but forgot to bring my helmet on the bus (we were staying at a neighbouring resort) so I had to wear a chicken hat that one of my friend’s had the whole way down lol. I’m not the most proficient skier in the world but wasn’t gonna miss out on the longest black slope in Europe. Had a couple big falls on the way down. Please don’t forget your helmet people!
