Conditions look amazing! I'm heading to Les Arcs for the first time in early February, hope it stays that way. I'll try to stick to the black runs to avoid the bulk of the crowds though.
@Alexskiing being in university I only have one week when I can go but it's a huge improvement from being in school and having to go during school holidays.
This was filmed yesterday I am posting a resort review video in the next couple of days. If you are skiing on the piste you will have amazing conditions. Many we will bump into each other let me know if you have any questions.
Do us a favour. You've been skiing for a while. Please could you point out the 'black' bits? This run doesn't look all that black. I'm trying to convince my higher management and authority she can do this run, but the second she hears the black word its a 'not doing it' 😂
Thanks for the comment no problem. In 1964, it was off-piste the whole way down, making it one of the most challenging runs in Europe. It was about 10 years later, I think, that Piste Bashers were able to piste the run. There is no way off the run, meaning that if you graded the run red, you would get people who are out of their comfort zone for a long time. There are three sections of the run that fall within the generally held view of the angle of slope to be a black. That being said, it’s only about 500 meters in total, but it’s still within the run. The piste has three narrow sections, meaning that in the late afternoon, it can have a lot of moguls for kilometre after kilometre, especially in February. In short, grading runs can involve a number of factors, and in my view, it’s graded correctly.!
Thanks Alex, we are coming out next week and the top management have decided she will give it a go, it looks like a couple of steep narrow sections but the rest looks great. Thanks for posting
BTW. We're at Belle Plagne right now. Still snowing this Sunday up above. We're whimps when it comes to skiing weather. So a long lunch nursing a nice red is on the cards. Enjoy your season Alex!!
I will will make them better over the next couple of weeks so they are accurate. When I don't have them on a video the amount of time watched per video is lower. Its not much effort to post a video twice though I suppose.
Beautiful!!! The snow looked very good!
Hey I know you aren’t you the snowboarder in the video?

Горы великолепные

dont think that speedometers right ahahha showing u going 90kph at the start looked about 30
It not right all the way down but at that point I think its right to be honest its pretty steep there!

@@Alexskiing I think if you do it early in the day it make it easier to do!

Great news it’s still not super busy next week go in the morning you will have a great run. Please let me know how you get on!
Please don't disfigure your cool ski videos with total unreliable telemetry on overlays :)

The quality of the video is really really good 👍
Thanks mum
