Ski Mont Gele itinerary, Verbier Switzerland

Mont Gele is our highest and in my opinion the hardest itinerary to ski, watch this video and get some tips before you go ski it

Thanks Marty for this described descent. Does such itineraries are having the same concept (marked, patroled, mapped,etc.) At all switzerland ski areas? Do you know if same in France?

[@skicoachmarty-verbier]

Hi David, thanks for your message, I spent some seasons in France and Italy and they do not go to the same level of attention as the Swiss, they avalanche control their itineraries and then open them. Their itineraries are within their resort boundary so your insurance should work etc but check first. Verbier's itineraries are a big part of our resort, we have a lot and they are all easily accessible by a lift, I think it's for this reason that ours get a lot of attention, not all Swiss resorts maintain and promote their itineraries to the same level. I hope this helps and enjoy your winter SCM

@@skicoachmarty-verbier ok, that is good to know. Looks like Verbier has a notch of safety measure above the others. I guess the others more alike Western Canada ski resorts safety measures ( e.g. Lake Louise, Kicking Horse, Revelstoke, Fernie, ...)?have you ever been there? looking forward to get same level of wilderness/safety as Western Canada black diamond/double black diamond bowls/glades/chutes...but with Europe charm combined with super year of snow as you get now...

⁠I’ve skied lake Louise and Banff, delirium dive is on par with ours I would say, some of ours start quite high but they bump up the same. I often tell North American clients that our itineraries are like double blacks. We are having a good start to the winter, I needs to get colder but that looks to be coming next week. North America looks to be a bit bare but I’m looking on social media which is not always a true reflection of conditions

You were on carving skis ?

[@skicoachmarty-verbier]

Hi there, yes I ski everywhere on skier cross skis which are a hybrid race ski
