Thanks for that. The channel is picking up now so getting more subscribers. As I skied most of the season, I have lots of footage so if I didn't post it now I realised I probably wouldn't fit it all in. Saving the good ones for busier times and also fine tuning the format. Think it's there now, what do you think of the videos and thumbnails?
@@ChasingSnow The video format is polished and very professional looking. The high speed lifts and motion through the lift lines are fun, and the trail map is a nice touch. I am there for the skiing, so I don't pay much attention to the shorts. The one addition I would love to see would be a few tutorials on how you ski. You ski direct, fast, and relaxed. I would love to know how you do that. You also seem to have a never ending supply of stamina. So a training/exercise tutorial would be useful, as well. And if all you do is what you have been doing, I will keep watching. Can't wait for next season's opener.
@@barrylongyear1933 Thanks for the feedback, think I'll stay with this format for the coming season. Not really sure how I ski, I just do it, I've never had a lesson. I will need to find someone to film me so I can analyse myself. I tend to ski on very long skis 183-189cm in length while I'm about 177cm. This gives me great stability but also more difficult to quickly manoeuvre, which is probably why I stuggle on the large and steep moguls. Just like everyone else, I'm still learning. :-)
I film at 60fps but the telemetry overlay software only exports 4k at 30fps... Once there is something better I'll be posting at 60fps, hopefully 8K soon...
Given the amount of moguls there was on that run, the ski traffic it has must be quite substantial, not to mention the length of the que at the chair lift to the left at the end of it. 😲 Hope the resort staff groom that run that is reachable.
It was one of those days where fresh snow fell overnight after everything was groomed so the snow was chopped up fairly early and by the end of the day we had all those moguls. Morning was perfect with fresh powder, end of day was like this...
@@ChasingSnow I see, it's a case of the early bird skier gets the best conditioned run then. Once I'm able to get along with just a day or so 1 to 1 lesson to get my ski legs back, afterwards I'll make it a point to be among the first up the hill.
Due to the layout of the pistes, it is by far the quickest way to get from Val Thorens into Meribel using nothing more difficult than a blue (I think it may even be the outright quickest way). Lac de la Chambre obviously therefore gets cut to bits by mid morning as virtually everyone going to Meribel or Courchevel uses it. The only other ways (avoiding reds) all require first skiing down to Les Menuires, which takes significantly longer.

I'll try this season, need to find someone who can film and keep up :-)
lovely stuff! -
not complaining or anything but it would be nice if you uploaded in 50 or 60fps :)

@@ChasingSnow alright :)
Why this blue slope looked so awuful? Does the entire slope look like it's never been groomed? Is it always like this?
It was the end of the day with soft snow, so it could end up that way...
Faut dire que rester sur la piste avec toute cette bonne peuf à côté, c’est bizarre !

Most get up first on such days to ski the powder
@@ChasingSnow Damn. 😟
