Powder Slope Traverse

[@mukhlisjahani2835]

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

[@nortonterzis9235]

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

[@hawabelle6977]

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

[@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!

[@HeidiMuster]

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

[@aubriemorse8925]

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

[@rachelroman3285]

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

[@harlandfigueroa3486]

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

[@rosebud8414]

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

[@HerbertWest99]

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

[@katjaanigmayer9219]

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

[@cayleebaldwin4617]

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

[@Alejandrolopez-tu6do]

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

[@giraudaguilar5496]

Your descent looks very smooth and stable. Great video!

[@narvaezaponte5275]

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

[@katringoldschmidt7097]

Well done and awesome video!

[@donnpocobene4785]

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

[@duclosceline9655]

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

[@daxroach5406]

Looks like so much fun!

[@abigailbcfc]

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

[@chaheldhekial9610]

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

[@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.

[@OglockGamesBR]

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

[@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!

[@marlanaguess9234]

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

[@arlinebeumer2743]

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

[@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).

[@janetttate2426]

Wonderful performance congratulation,really great appreciated 👍

[@cheyennetant4752]

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

[@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.

[@fredstowers1055]

🎿 ☀️ Great run, thanks!

[@donnarichardson2664]

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

[@tuanhalsted2611]

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

[@gerdberger3181]

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

[@firefighterbre]

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

[@bernhardrubi8337]

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

[@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.

[@philscat5629]

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

[@colinloring2963]

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

[@sappydude1]

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

[@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.

[@luckyyasmine6243]

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

[@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.

[@sharon6503]

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

[@anlkarasu3469]

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

[@rudytexxter1805]

I went down this run after watching this video.

[@oliviabuxton9988]

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

[@catrionamacleod6654]

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

[@jerrydennis4126]

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

[@sonyalombardo2981]

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

[@mariesoleilclv4485]

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

[@mitchellhorner3898]

Me and some of my family go every year.

[@changeling4104]

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

[@lillydavis2680]

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

[@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.

[@fairyhale5784]

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

[@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 ..

[@shelahood898]

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

[@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.

[@dunkleetessa2369]

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

[@hedyshechter760]

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

[@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.

[@sara97294]

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

[@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

[@itsmejeannie5221]

Top speed was 69mph that was impressive

[@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.

[@max3100]

👍👏👏👏💙🎄

[@thorvadelmer2537]

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

[@petekbal9793]

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

[@Jayman-ne1uw]

Him: walking* Speedometer: 30kmh*

[@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.

[@haticeerkul7923]

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

[@dirkhellinga9128]

Was it super icy or something?

[@charitycarlson7757]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@redpandagamerlp]

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

[@aytengitmez1519]

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

[@patsygriffith1461]

Beautiful and scenic but not black in grade imo.

[@carynkertisg3822]

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

[@jaysoncox5010]

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

[@maciejszamrak7502]

Is it a black? Not really.

[@carmelkuris8452]

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

[@susyfrisco5644]

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

[@jasminxruiz]

Not sure how that run is black though.

[@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 🎿😁👌
