[@carlsvenson8126]

Once you are in the slope you realize its not step.. Looking down from the hill it will look step, once you go and turn a lot you realize its not step and scary... Just control the speed and do as many turns as necessary to be comfortable, if you fail its not a DROP, BOOM, its a glide... I have fallen 100s of times, it doesnt hurt, you learn how to fall right fast and you will stop yourself form gliding further easy, especially if its much snow. Just be careful at the black paths, the steepest, its often icy and nasty, you just glide with no stronghold, its not fun... The more snow, the better! the more Icy its bad.

[@useyournoodle100]

If find steeper runs easier on a snow board as long as they are not too narrow. It is that flat stuff that is killer for a beginner.

I've been at the very top a peak, exposed to high winds, freezing cold, looking at a huge clump of blue ice forming in a crevice, literally like a glacier forming, feeling so blessed to be alive. You can ski from above the tree line in huge open spaces, sun shining, then down through the trees, alongside fast flowing streams, into a resort and right up to your door. Then hop on a lift and do it all again. The local people are lovely and slightly mad. I've been to Austria and Switzerland, beautiful picture box scenery but I prefer them in the summer, so pretty. Big wide flat bottomed valleys. French alps are higher and more rugged.

@Clarence W hey Clarence, I love Canada. I worked a season at Sun Peaks. I managed to ride kicking horse, revvy, whistler, marmot basin, as well as a few others!

[@kristopherdetar4346]

Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. I can understand the addiction of this sport. I’m too old and crippled for this sport but sure enjoy watching your perspective. Thank you again.

[@malcolmmoore]

My pleasure 😊

[@YoMamasCasa]

Quarantined at home... was good to "be on the slopes again". Thanks!

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks, stay safe 🤙

[@benkai343434]

looks like an absolutely gorgeous run. would love to give it a crack with a fresh coat of snow

[@malcolmmoore]

That's when it's best!

[@taylorwatson7932]

This looks like a level on the old snowboarding video game “1080”.

[@thesprawl2361]

@@Craggius13 'KEN-SOO-KAY KEE-MACH-EE' That's one of my favourite games ever. Tricky, skillful, looked incredible for the time. Racing the gold boarder on that midnight course...

[@thesprawl2361]

I would love a reboot. That was one of my favourite games. Had the best snow in any game - the sound and the feel of it was so convincing. Big fluffy drifts, shallow powdery coverage, even runs across sheer ice on glaciers(which I'm guessing snowboarders probably don't do in real life ;) ). And the control system was brilliant - z to crouch down and soften the impact of a jump, as well as to speed up. So simple but so elegant.

[@skinut2012]

thanks for a great video, brings back memories of doing this about 25 years back as a fairly new intermediate skier and it seemed a lot scarier then

[@malcolmmoore]

Haha, yeah, the Tunnel used to just dump you straight out on the steeper part, they've since put a path to the right like you see here which takes a few degrees off!

[@Joonbhee]

You’re the SUPER GT of snowboarding. This was extremely entertaining to watch and even relaxed me. You have a great voice man, keep it up!

[@malcolmmoore]

Thankyou very much! 👍

[@flixelgato1288]

This just looks like a really fun and genuinely challenging run

[@TerminatorTheory]

*I used to snowboard, but ever since my sister's skiing injury my parents have stopped letting us there since. It's been 6 years and now when I look at snowboarding its scary.*

[@LanaPlupChup]

i broke my knee skiing, spent 2 months with my whole leg in a cast getting hella painful injections everyday, but would do it again 100%. It is scary but it's so worth it. it's never too late to start again, don't let the fear get you!

[@Glenmoto12]

That was quite fun to watch. Made me think back to the first time I went snowboarding and found that perfect circular slope that gave you speed but let you cruise along nicely. Haven’t snowboarded since!

[@eydorian]

2:36 on the right, this is the place where you can see the names and pictures of (at least) 2 people who died there few decades ago. It used to be much more dangerous and scarier: for example at 2:46 it is a complete platform and reshape that was built there I think 20 years ago. Before that at the exit there was a deep ice cliff with only a safety net, and it began immediately on the right with a scary steep icy slope 2 meters wide with moguls the size of a man. Now it's kinda piece of cake :)

[@malcolmmoore]

Yeah I've been here for 9 years and its far more accessible now, can't imagine 20!

[@deeturner7223]

Wow thanks for the experience never have I snowboard in my life but just watching this video n u r explaining everything about Ur techniques is amazing felt like I was there n the view was beautiful hope to c more 🤗🤗

[@malcolmmoore]

Awesome, yeah I'll be back next winter with more!

[@cratra]

Malcolm this is absolutely unreal how you have narrative commentary over your run. This is what I was saying in another of you tutorial exercises to do a talk through the technical aspects whilst you are doing them. Keep up your great channel, you will grow so fast.

[@malcolmmoore]

Cheers Craig!

[@jerichoshannon6783]

I love the voiceover, makes it sound way more doable.

[@payne267]

This man "snowed" up in my recommend Lmao I'm sorry

[@malcolmmoore]

oh dear...

[@pettanshrimpnazunasapostle1992]

Don't mind me sliding my comment in here

[@thesprawl2361]

You don't sound sorry.

[@JackChurchill101]

Literally the same thing in La Plagne, - they even have colourful lights to make it less boring.

[@niedziel2442]

Yep, La Plagne Disco Tunnel is the best. One of my best piste in Alpe d'Huez - Tunnel Piste.

[@maelferrier7994]

Ahah, I've been in both spots quite a lot, and there's no comparaison, one of them has a tunnel with a tombstone of someone who died on the slope, that is one of the steepest, and on top of the glacier, the other one is a fun slope that is cool but can be skied by any beginner

[@1111-t5n]

Thank you for taking me someplace I may never have been regardless of the moguls and such love the views stay blessed

[@malcolmmoore]

Cheers man! 🤙

[@alarnyaashby2775]

The fact that this guy put’s so much effort into making these videos get this guy some sub’s

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks Alarnya 🙌

[@2pac1411]

so dope,i cant wait for the new season to come

[@malcolmmoore]

Me too!

[@selmario]

Omg I miss this so much, normally we would ski/snowboard in the alpes every year but last year because of corona we couldn't, this makes me so excited to our winter holidays in the alpes this year! Though I can't choose if I should do snowboarding or skiing...

[@ingolfurarnar697]

Go snowboarding

[@maxshishkn]

That was breathtaking, mate! You're just like a Bob Ross with the snowboard :D Keep up the good work

[@malcolmmoore]

Haha cheers, I like that analogy!

[@desmondclancy824]

Thanks for letting an old guy vicariously join you down the slop. Awesome!

[@malcolmmoore]

Anytime Desmond ✌

[@leh4871]

It’s like a game where u unlock the secret pathway

[@mikinakCZ]

The tunnel of doom...! _Happy Iskall noises_

[@Useless22]

You see I couldn’t do this. I’d die 100% I would just go straight down as fast as I can expecting the snow to absorb the impact if I somehow fell.

[@justanothervote]

Thats how I learned lol. Bomb it straight to the bottom! Unfortunately, it was always icy so not the cushion people think snow is lol. But if you like to bomb it then you will learn fast cause mistakes hurt lol. A run like this would be quite simple. I could easily shave 2 min off this run.

[@malcolmmoore]

Haha, the snows not always as soft as it looks!

[@justanothervote]

@@malcolmmoore indeed. Looks like a beautiful spot to board though! I'd love to go someday!

[@jonathonhunt935]

Excellently chilled commentary! An exemplar in how to make challenging seem like a doddle.

[@malcolmmoore]

Haha 😆

[@-avalon-9440]

This video has snowed up in my recommended section!

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks KZbin!

[@tonchentayler9692]

Great video just where I left off on my last runs!!!! trying to be more in control on what appears to me to be steep enough slopes. Your vids are constant uninterrupted runs which give me time to see exactly what you're doing in real time . I'm sure I will be doing the torsional twist shuffle on my floor boards this summer😂 Thankyou be safe 😷 👍

[@malcolmmoore]

Cheers Tonchen!

[@fpvleo2606]

The GoPro effect seems to hit that slope hard! Now i really want to know how that slope looks like in Reallife :) Usually only ski or snowboard arround in Austria or northern Italy (Alto Adige), but the french alps are on my visit list!

[@malcolmmoore]

You should visit France!🤙

[@brandeezyls]

Getting right to the point , you start riding right away, that’s GOLD !

Funny enough, I think the Y and T perms are my favorite algorithms. 🤔😁

[@RadionessYouTube]

That's cool and all, but wait, snow exists? -Me, a person from Middle Europe.

[@pyranha333]

There is another tunnel near la Plagne and it isn’t lit up anything like that tunnel was. They often use multicoloured flashing lights which make it a little harder to ski through.

[@Tonkmaster]

There is a tunnel like this at snowbird the only thing is that there is a moving carpet that takes you through

[@TheBeingReal]

Tonky Best part is the tunnel takes you to the Alta ski resort: skis only. ⛷. 😁

[@HapaxLegomenon12]

I had no idea that this was there! I'll have to check it out next time I go.

Agreed! 🤙

[@carolyna4484]

I finally see the appeal of snowboarding. That run was absolutely glorious.
