Powder Slope Traverse

[@nortonterzis9235]

This video bought back all the good memories and adrenaline rush from dropping down that first cut.

[@mukhlisjahani2835]

This is why I love skiing, it makes you feel so free.

[@hawabelle6977]

Love this track. No matter the color, it's such a nice moment!

[@HeidiMuster]

Is there a better feeling in the world that this? Breathtaking.

[@osmanaabdi4493]

Alpe d'Huez is such a lovely area! And so is the Snowbasin, cool video!

[@zdendafric1739]

Very very nice ski! Awesome, speedy and smooth!

[@HerbertWest99]

Oh wow , this brought back so many memories and the lactic acid.

[@harlandfigueroa3486]

That backdrop though! Never been to Alpe d'Huez, but certainly added to my list now

[@aubriemorse8925]

Love it. Really nice work. Thanks, you made my evening!

[@rachelroman3285]

Wow, that was amazing experience watching you ski The Snowbasin.

[@rosebud8414]

Lovely stuff. Looking forward to doing the Snowbasin in the next couple of years :-)

[@Alejandrolopez-tu6do]

It looked really fun! I think the speed matches the skiing actions.

[@katjaanigmayer9219]

Great vid. Man awesome level of concentration and knowing the movement of other skiers in front of you. Nice Ride ;)

[@duclosceline9655]

I’m old now and not been for quite a few years I do miss the fresh air , laughter and sleep .

[@donnpocobene4785]

I had to cancel my plans to go skiing this year... watching this almost made me cry.

[@narvaezaponte5275]

Thanks to your video I like Snowbasin very much already and hope to run it somewhen 😊 .

[@cayleebaldwin4617]

You did a great job skiing and had some fun while doing it 😉

[@daxroach5406]

Looks like so much fun!

[@giraudaguilar5496]

Your descent looks very smooth and stable. Great video!

[@TheBeforeiforget]

I am a huge fan of LAAX in Switzerland, but after watching this, I am going to take a trip and do the same.

[@chaheldhekial9610]

🙏🙏🙏 Wow! I went there in the summer, when there was only snow at the tops of mountains!

[@ahanaghose8780]

I was a BASI ski instructor and at one point raced in the Martini championships slalom came 3rd back in 1974

[@hannahmckenzie6107]

This brought back so many memories from my time there. the run looks familiar. Nice vid!

[@OglockGamesBR]

I had to cancel my Christmas trip and my spring trip this year. I’m so excited to go skiing in 2 weeks!

[@arlinebeumer2743]

Regardless of difficulty this is one of the most beautiful runs in Snowbasin I’m sure.

[@katringoldschmidt7097]

Well done and awesome video!

[@peisynder413]

Beautiful! As many know, they use the same hill in many of the stages of the Tour De France.

[@druwharman9633]

Snowbasin was classified black in early time when snow was not worked out, so you had to do with icy snow at the top, deep snow fields in the medium section and rocky straits down the mountain. Plus the track length. With the carterpillars, the track is rather red except for the upper section where you must not fail (cliffs on the left of the track).

[@marlanaguess9234]

Love the video - I was there a few days ago.

[@abigailbcfc]

Nice one!! Pre-plage!! A bit more fitness than your average weekend warrior!!

[@cheyennetant4752]

Truly one of the greatest runs in the Alps (apart from the long flat traverse to the village of course).

[@janetttate2426]

Wonderful performance congratulation,really great appreciated 👍

[@tuanhalsted2611]

There is a steepish bit at the top which funnels into a narrow section, also once you set off from the top.

[@cavecanem44]

Hopefully winter 2022 we can get back there!

[@gomezpablo5577]

This might look crazy and scary, but its actually what i love doing every time I go skiing, and its also easy to maintain the control of the skis

[@LenaNilgen]

I have skied it a couple of times, and will be there in a few weeks time to do it again.

[@brianawelters7047]

We board the Snowbasin maybe 3 times in the week that we go and im devastated that this January we wont be doing it again.

[@donnarichardson2664]

Great run first thing in morning - major leg burn when you do it in one go. Green section at bottom is a nightmare

[@fairyhale5784]

Sadly you seem to miss the start of Sarenne - right turn at about 1:05 (several skiiers standing looking down the steep bit).

[@fredstowers1055]

🎿 ☀️ Great run, thanks!

[@gerdberger3181]

You did Cassini and then joined Sarenne at around the 29 marker. I did the same - twice!

[@colinloring2963]

damn, the ascent of that mountain must take like the whole day

[@firefighterbre]

mmmh the smell of those log cabins thanks . You’ve got me all fired up now ?

[@luckyyasmine6243]

I had my doubts at first. Knowing Snowbasin quite well I didn't think 100kph would be possible anywhere on that slope.

[@paulberger6115]

The true challenge in Huez is the Tunnel, on the right of Snowbasin: you go through a tunnel piercing the rock and then straight down the mountain.

[@anlkarasu3469]

I have not been yet to Alpe d’Huez, but I have some videos in the similar style about skiing in Snowbasin.

[@bernhardrubi8337]

Even if it’s not a black run, this is still epic

[@sharon6503]

The camera does not reflect the high speed and slope grade. But I’d love to try this run! Awesome channel!

[@philscat5629]

I am a snowboarder, so hitting that speed will be out of the questions.

[@jerrydennis4126]

starting at 3300m down to 1800, 15km of pure beautiful mountain.

[@sara97294]

It's hard to find the entrance. The whole valley is lovely though.

[@sappydude1]

Damn Skilled... that’s a great piste run, but no way that could be classified a “Black” piste!

[@oliviabuxton9988]

I take it you know the piste fairly well to avoid blind spots over brows and turns.

[@dunkleetessa2369]

I remember doing this run on a snowboard and god, there were so many slow sections that it ended up getting annoying.

[@clarkgabel3236]

I've boarded this ... it is not a black really, apart from a few small sections. Having said that, it is a very steep red which frankly is sooo much better.

[@mariesoleilclv4485]

He's not jiggling too much because the snow was well groomed and the weather looks fairly warm.

[@linabreuer5022]

When the slopes on the run are in this condition it is completely benign .. there are some steeper bits at the beginning which he shoots through ..

[@maurakennamer5631]

Considering that he goes almost straight down from 1:48 onward, I think that with hard snow and long stiff skis it 'could' be possible.

[@cecilyyacono5549]

I could only see 87 kph on GPS in Belle Plagne , France and it was scary and fun i was really checking my limits but in this vid when we hits that speed

[@rudytexxter1805]

I went down this run after watching this video.

[@bukreberk5536]

this slope only becomes a challenge when’s it’s been carved up into what seems like a continuous mogul field and the number of skiers is tenfold.

[@petekbal9793]

Out of curiosity: what are your skis and boots? What's your height & weight?

[@sonyalombardo2981]

It's definitely a black - as its steep in some sections and once it's been skied on throughout day gets big moguls.

[@catrionamacleod6654]

I’m not the most proficient skier in the world but wasn’t gonna miss out on the longest slope.

[@hedyshechter760]

On the day I it was sunny but had snowed for 2 days straight.

[@changeling4104]

This ain't a real black, but this run is really beautiful. Makes me wanna travel there next season.

[@mitchellhorner3898]

Me and some of my family go every year.

[@henrygellison4491]

In the video it probably doesn’t look like 100 because of how wide the track is, the smoothing of the GoPro and because you are not actually there.

[@lillydavis2680]

I hope this pandemic don't cancel all of the skiing trips next season.. :(

[@max3100]

👍👏👏👏💙🎄

[@redpandagamerlp]

The whole run down was about 6ft deep snow and took me 30 minutes.

[@dirkhellinga9128]

Was it super icy or something?

[@thorvadelmer2537]

Okay after doing some rough calculations I worked out it is actually possible he is going so fast.

[@shelahood898]

When, like me, you don't want to take the risk of skiing out of the limits.

[@itsmejeannie5221]

Top speed was 69mph that was impressive

[@talesoftheinvertedwomb8534]

I did this same run in January but forgot to bring my helmet on the bus (we were staying at a neighbouring resort) so I had to wear a chicken hat lol.

[@sandraoman9764]

100 kph on skies,that's insane..the terrain is too slippery (hard snow).

[@osmanpot1705]

They also say it's 16km when it's more like 10 or 11km.

[@charitycarlson7757]

I didn't have powder skis at all so nearly kept sinking.

[@camrenhayes7095]

There is no way you can get off so you are committed to doing the 4km right to the bottom along the Maronne Valley.

[@Jayman-ne1uw]

Him: walking* Speedometer: 30kmh*

[@domenekbryant9683]

At one point in the video he is going around 100 km/h average during 10 seconds while passing 18 ski poles in total.

[@maciejszamrak7502]

Is it a black? Not really.

[@aytengitmez1519]

Was so hard due to the moguls that had formed and the extremely narrow paths.

[@haticeerkul7923]

*drives on a flat part of the track: 80 *drives down: 60

[@carynkertisg3822]

Frankly, I can’t see where the grade gets above 55% anywhere on this piste.

[@carmelkuris8452]

I hope this cleared a few doubts and arguments in the comments lol 😂

[@jasminxruiz]

Not sure how that run is black though.

[@jaysoncox5010]

At 2:45. No way that's still 30 kph. There is definitely something wrong

[@patsygriffith1461]

Beautiful and scenic but not black in grade imo.

[@susyfrisco5644]

I´ve skied at 100km/h and there is no way the speed on this video is right

[@lawsongonzales3165]

I´ve skied just over 80 km/h and i can tell you there´s no way he reached 100

[@gayekar6412]

Beautiful run, but dude there is nothing black about any of this footage.

[@leshatrenholm1346]

What a run looks wicked I want a go 🎿😁👌
