[4K] Skiing La Plagne, New Day - New Route - Heading to Le Fornelet, Paradiski France, GoPro HERO11

[@benjaminvolant2469]

Just got back from La Plagne. Loved it.

[@ChasingSnow]

Great, what are the conditions like?

[@benjaminvolant2469]

@@ChasingSnow absolutely fine above 1600-1700 metres. Below that, not quite so good. Les Arcs was great too (across the valley from La Plagne). Temperatures need to drop a bit though.

@@benjaminvolant2469 Great, thanks for letting me know. I'll be back later in the season...

[@barrylongyear1933]

Great runs and such stunning views of the mountains. Got to get healthy and ski some of those trails. Beautiful, and thanks for explaining the GoPro bump reduction tech.

[@ChasingSnow]

Thanks. Have you had a ski this season yet?

[@barrylongyear1933]

Not yet. Hoping to soon. The main trouble is sitting on my butt for three years writing a book didn't do much to strengthen my legs. If I do find a keeper who can carry my remains back home when the mountain is done with me, I'll begin with the green trails and stay there until some confidence and speed return. @@ChasingSnow

@@barrylongyear1933 Sounds like a good plan, start easy and slowly work your way up... need to get those legs back into action...

[@Puzzoozoo]

Those few two blues looked quite mellow. After I've gone through the skill level lesson list at CF, I'll be probably able to tackle them.

[@ChasingSnow]

You should be fine after completing the course...

У меня на таких уклонах скорость очень быстро растёт. А у Вас быстро получается гасить скорость, как будто воздушный тормоз за спиной.

[@ChasingSnow]

It's just the way I ski, I don't really think about it...

[@longtreecityltc9325]

What is red about the red slope? Looks like a blue to me because some blues in this video have steeper longer parts.

[@ChasingSnow]

Yes, it was just the start of the red, which wasn't steep at all but the continuation of it was closed...

[@adjo82]

Although gradient is used towards defining a red and a blue, there is also factore like danger. A steep wide slope with deep snow runoff sides will be a blue but a less steep slope that's narrow with trees, and a cliff will be a red etc.
