Seeing you take out the liner and the foot beds of your boots to dry them reminds me of the time that on one trip I was in agony wtih my boots at the end of the first day so off to the pro shop in resort. After warming and pressing out the shell I went skiing the next day - still the same so I went to a different pro shop just across the piste. The technician took the inners out and said do you know you've got them in the wrong boots? He couldn't believe that I'd had them into the other shop and they hadn't noticed that! Got back to the chalet and told my mate's that he'd taken my lift pass off me. Why? Well he said if I didn't know my right from my left then I shouldn't be on the mountain - howls of laughter all evening. So my tip is take your inners and insoles out one at a time and mark them L&R with a Sharpie! It's so easy when you are rushing to do something else to put them back in the wrong way round!

I think leaving my bindings untouched for 5 years is what lead to my MCL ACL injury :/ I focussed so much on avalanche equipment and avoidance that i stupidly let the basics slip. Thanks for this vid Another tip, take the batteries out of your transciever and save them for when that remote control stips working (cos youre gonna get new ones for next season)

Thank you Floss! Lots of good information. I had never thought about releasing the DIN springs but it make perfect sense. What about your climbing skins? Do you like to leave them glue on glue or do you put them back on the plastic sheet they came with? BTW EAFXtrader wondered if you will be back in Val D'Isere next season. I sure hope so!

Great video Flo 👍 You can also put some Vaseline on the edges if you have it. Will you be back in Val D'Isere next season?

Spray some WD40 on the bases/edges, throw them in the corner.

Let me know if you like the new KZbin setup using a better camera up 👇Thanks for watching 😁

Great video production quality, Floss! They say ‘do what you love for a job and you’ll never work another day in your life’ 😅

coucou Flossy c'est Stéphane the cooker from Mountain story congrats for your qualification !! perfect 👍✨🥂 😉

Great work ❤...and thanks for sharing the love with us!!

Brilliant Flo ❤xx

Yeah, just rub it in why don't you 😂😂😂❤

👋😃

Loving this!! Total flash back to all the good skiing this season. Bring on the winter!

Cool video. It looks pretty chilled in the backcountry. I'm guessing this leads down to La Chénarie. How do you get from there back to 1800/2000? Is there a bus?

Binding setup would be a good one. Having focussed so much in the last few seasons on Avalanche awareness, I had totally neglected checking (or getting checked) my bindings for probs 5 years. As such, a recent crash has done some damage to my knee, mainly because of unmaintained bindings (along with some human factors too) which will take me out of a bout half of the skydiving season that has now started. I appreciate it is difficult to do as there's so many different types of alpine bindings

Love the out-takes 😄

Easter is the best time of the year to ski IMO

Been getting more interested in ski touring every year. Will drop you a mail about next year’s course. That looked like great fun.

Thanks for watching 😁....more videos to come...

Hi Floss Did you do the climb and ski you were talking about? Best Stephen and Finn

What size is this? 22L or 30L?

I went to Japan this winter and rode with a guide. His opinion was that Shifts are way to unreliable because just this season he had three guests who’s Shifts had broken.

Hi Floss, Hope you are still getting in some great skiing but for those of us who's season has ended do you have any tips for putting away our skis for the summer?

Can you explain what exactly was frozen and the effect of these new windows? From which season was your binding? Any thoughts on the shift2?

How to get Back?

Thanks for all the updates and weather reports. Have a great off-season. 🙌🏼🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼💪🏼

I completed the Haute Route several years ago on telemark equipment. Both nights that I left the bindings in ski mode out in the elements in freezing conditions I awoke to frozen bindings that were nearly impossible to switch to touring mode. Our guide was unhappy on the first morning and extremely unhappy on the second morning. The two issues that I've had with my shift bindings were attributed to my actions, 1) ski pre-releases due to snow accumulation under my boot and between the mating surfaces of the binding. Now I just make sure the bottom of my boots are clean whenever I put my boot into any binding and that has solved the issue. 2) ski brake would not stay up during touring, on our fourth lap I stomped the brake into the up position and when I did this I packed snow into the area which resulted in the brake being unable to stay up. I now manually lock the brake in the up position.

Thanks for sharing Floss, looks like a brilliant week was had there. I thought I was pushing my luck going to Alpe D'Huez at the end of February given there was so much melting going on and the snow line was so high! So a bit jealous now as my trip feels like an age ago now... Here's to next season though!! 🙂

Thank you and see you next year❤

Great coffee in the Jam Bar!

Great content as always. Thanks for all your hard work on the channel this year 🎉

You raise a good point with level 3. Not sure he w many people realise that it is a combination of factors that are all rated at 3 so the scale increases exponentially. 3 is usually when the best powder is to be found and the stuff that's fun to ski is over 30° both of which are in the risky area. Looks like there was likely wind slab around where you are. That's the difference between a professional like yourself and an amateur such as myself, my lack of experience would keep me away from where you were skiing. Just got back from Madonna where the first day there was so much snow falling you could get fresh tracks every run and by the afternoon there was no need to find itineraries as the pistes were deep and fluffy and pretty much empty as I'm sure many of the beginners that the resort attracts would have found it very hard work

Hi, what is the music track playing in this video please???

Thanks for the update, as always. It’s been a great week snow wise that’s for sure

Thank you. Enjoyed your videos and until next season.

Great videos, thanks! Hope to ski with you one day.

Strong end to the season again. EOSB final countdown is on! hoping for ☀️☀️☀️

enjoy the reports but please, try not to wave so much at camera, its distracting!

I cant believe the winter is over already😢. Look forward to skiing with you more next year. Have a great spring/summer!

Hope you have a great summer and thank you for the amazing lessons.

Thanks for making the effort. Love your work and look forward to meeting you in person next season.

Thanks you Floss. We will be back in one piece next year! Looking forward to see your continued adventures.

Looks amazing! Thank you for sharing 🙏

Have a great summer and thanks for all your vids & amazing coaching x

We've been here all week and have had a blast, super lucky with the snow. Shame we didn't bump into you but I'm sure we'll be back! Planning a big trip with a load of friends next year so might need some guiding services. Stay well and thanks again for all the info!

great videos. its nice to get a full weekly report. My family of 4 is heading to Val next season. it's been 15 years since I last visited. my daughters 8 and 12 are super stoked to shred the French Alps for the first time!!

Hi are many lifts open 25th April. Is there any transfers available at that time

Thanks for the update. It was definitely a mixed bag

Foehn is pronounced "FERN"!
