At 41:17 mark is a reminder to ALL skiers, no matter what your skill level is, please be careful on the runs, and don't tackle a run your skill are not sufficient for. I wish that skier a full recovery.
100% agree, skiing is much more fun when you are in one piece at the end of the day. Happens to expert skiers too, all it takes is one mistake and anyone can go down. Enjoy the mountains but stay safe out there.
Anyone else at 34:45 rooting for them to beat the esf line but then immediately end up feeling sorry for the kid getting stuck and the instructor marching off instead haha
What you can't hear is me holding back the laugh when I saw him get stuck, he actually ended up on the same chair as me going up so he was alright in the end haha
Nice one! Thanks for making this video. Planning a trip there this season. Is the route you did here feasible for 1 day ? i.e did you have enough time to make it back to base? I notice your ski time is over an hour but this doesn't include lift times etc
Thanks for watching it :) It's absolutely feasible, I did this and a similar route back again after a stop for lunch in Plan Bouchet in the "4th Valley". I got to the furthest point around 1ish I think (not taking the most efficient runs or skiing very fast) but bee-lined my way back to Courchevel, arriving back at about 4pm I think. It's just that my camera ran out of memory as soon as I started the journey back so couldn't film it! It's a nice little challenge to do it in a day and I slept well afterwards
@@12carracer Amazing! Know the feeling:) Regards
What week of the season was this please?
This was at the end of January/start of February 2023, so about this time last year
what did you use to record this with the GPS speed?
I filmed all this on my (now slightly outdated) GoPro Hero 7 Black. If you connect that to the GoPro App on your phone, you can add various widgets, one of them being the GPS speedometer you see here, you then export that from the app on your phone and take those files from your phone to your PC for editing. It's an annoying work-around, the GoPro desktop app used to be able to do this but for reason it's now unable to. You can also extract the GPS data from your files and use an external programme to represent that in graphs and gauges like the one shown, Garmin have a good programme for that I think. You need to make sure though that before you start recording, the camera is turned on for long enough for the little GPS symbol to appear on the screen otherwise it won't record GPS data for your run.
@@12carracer thank you dude. I've seen quite a few videos of elevation graphs too, is that using the GPro and the app as well?
@@Trihawk7 Yeah that's one of the other options, I think there's also a GPS map type of thing, but I thought this was the simplest and cleanest looking one
@@12carracer thanks. Are those graphics added after recording or must they be specified beforehand?
@@Trihawk7 The graphics are added afterwards, but you must make sure your GoPro has the little GPS indicator on screen before you start recording
was this from the top to the foot of the mountain 🏔️ 1 hour 20min?
This was from Courchevel 1600 (far left of the piste map for 3 valleys) down to Orelle (4th valley furrther to the right on the piste map). So it wasn't one mountain, but zig-zagging up and down to move across the whole resort. This is 1hr20, with most of the lift time cut out, and using a fairly direct route. Most people would take time to do a few more runs in each area, but I just wanted a challenge to get across and back with lunch in one day.
@@12carracer alright you made me stat looking at tickets and prices now 😂
@@Chris-zu4es I apologise to your wallet!
all that super off piste you are missing!!!!!!!!
Yeah I know! But I was on my own on this trip, so wanted to play it safe
meribel pistes are the worst to do that valley crossing..
Honestly, my least favourite part of the whole area! Skiing over either pebbles of ice or really thin snow cover... Also they're normally packed anytime other than first thing in the morning
@@12carracer i have to agree the last red down to meribel centre was horrible this february
@@gerardolivier5250 You cannot change the weather or the snow conditions, you can grumble about it, but you have no choice but to cope as best you can the conditions the mountain offers you.
