Rest of the world in 1942: engaged in the bloodiest war in history Switzerland in 1942: let's do a ski race!

[@TheMord]

Big up for the drone pilot, some of those shots were unreal! Quality stuff boys!

[@AI3THEANSWER]

indeed i 'm wondering which drone they were using ?

[@TheMord]

@@AI3THEANSWER It seems like the drone footage was shot by 5elementsproduction (Julien Christe) and they got a DJI inspire 2 (not sure with which camera) and a Mavic 2 pro.

[@Someone-yt8le]

you know the movies gonna be good when it has those little award logos placed all over the thumbnail

[@macca5747]

The quality is so high, congratulations dude. There’s some amazing stuff right there

[@tavakessler]

That FPV shot at the beginning is next level 🤯

[@mehr-prozenteinfo632]

Wahnsinnstour! Toll, was man alles mit Ausdauer, Leidensfähigkeit und Mut alles erreichen kann.

[@SueFerreira75]

Great video which brought back great memories - thank you! I was skiing the Haute Route from Chamonix to Zermatt in 1995 and by chance we arrived in Verbier, as the Patrouille des Glaciers racers came into Verbier. The competitors were amazing running down into the town after an 8 hour race with their skis and boots around their shoulders. It took us four days to cover the same distance in the opposite direction!

[@zenskiingtutorials9361]

A good trip for social distancing. Great place to be during pandemic.

The amount of ski films that use the song at 12:32 is hilarious!

[@marti1923]

Do you know the title of the song ?

[@tavakessler]

@@marti1923 yes, it’s called Dust on the Ground and it was probably licensed through MusicBed. Actually a quite good song.

Is there a longer version of this out there anywhere? Would love to see more detail of the routes, the hikes up, and how it all links up. Plus more of that stunning scenery, it's great lockdown escapism!

When factions about to drop a bomb edit on the exact same time and day your resort opens Should I ski or watch them ski?

[@amospanier5677]

Both

[@ProCommentateur]

Watch it on the chairlift :P

[@milau94]

and here am I in the french alps, with no opened resort till mid January ...

[@db.db12345]

Super ! merci. is there a way around Dent D’Herans ? that part was a little much...

[@AI3THEANSWER]

Great Job guys this route and the whole travel and videography was excellent ! Can you please mention the equipment used for recording ( drone and cameras ) ? Thanks and keep it up

[@danielesemperboni9400]

nice to see the world before covid...

[@vityacan]

So, did team arrive by midday or not?

[@WaechterDerNacht]

Nice to see some mountains i know in a skiing video :-P Definitely looking forward to the season! Question for Sam: I guess you were the only mountainguide there. So, do you always stay in that "Mountainguide-Mode", also while you get a shot or do you like switch to a "Pro-Skier-Mode" where you maybe ride faster than you would usually? I guess it's quite hard to combine sometimes...

[@rainerbenz3611]

Love this video. PS: 10:08 K2 sighting in a Faction video.

bravo à vous et au pilote fpv :)
