That's not a white out

Hey Floss, hope you’re well and thanks for answering my question, will see how it goes with the goggles tips this winter. My head sweats even in the cold, should probably carry a towel in pocket or something 😂 Hoping to make it on the PSB.

Flo: I found your vids last year when looking for current clues about 'conditions'. Keep up the good work. For what it's worth from Old ski-bum in Whistler looking for Yet Another 100Day Season. Made it to Les Arcs and Tignes/ValD' again last year for twenny days in March... A most successful trip!! Thought about getting a guide but went out the door and just pinned it! Airbnb in Bourg for Les Arcs: Robert Blanc = ohhlala! La Plagne: Bellcotte!! Then Val Claret for Tignes: Creamy Groomers in the Fog first day: Riding on foot pressure only. No lumps. No Skidding. No Falling. No Waiting. Next day was shin-deep Tufs down to Grand Motte Funi. Soft-pack laps on Belevarde!! When looking for "another expert" to ski with; I check out the lift lines... shooting the breeze with guys who look like they Know. 'Met a Guy' did a run and went to meet his guys. Turns out; all were tough-old Swedes with FIS experience. I could hang but I paid for it. Found a few others for a few laps every day. Had so much fun ripping that the thought of actually walking anywhere was not happening. Generally too tired for apres. Food Questions ? en France: cette un problem?? I Suffered with Joues de porc braisées ultra tendres, sauce au vin et échalotes sur un lit de riz espanol... From the Sherpa marche' deli for 15Eu. Boots: Bring the boot fitter a six-pack and watch him fit others and try on a few of his recommendations. Learn How. Try on everything until you know Boot-fit. If you don't know boots it will cost you ski-results. Brands don't matter but specific models do. This Takes Time. If you only invest a ski-week a year forget it. Skis: You must use the right tool. Skinny skis Rock!! But Not a 185GS in moguls. You really want a 15-17meter radius in a 170cm with a 68-72waist = Nordica SLR or Spitfire. Fischer SC. Rossi Hero. Head Supershapes. Atomic X9. The Whole world is on Mid Fats because they never had a 100Day Season! Meh: unless the snow is more than shin deep and heavy. Fat skis suck but not as bad as a GS in crust. Quit yer job and sell your car. ciao. ski soon.

Hi Floss, Great to see new content starting up for the 2024/25 season! Do you listen to music while you ski? If so what is on your play list? Thanks for the work you put into the channel!

Many Thanks Floss

Comment below if you have any questions 👇? and if you would like me to do another Q&A

Yahh Yahh.. Smaer yah 😅

Flo thanks for the video as I am shopping now my gear for my first ever touring binding preferably hybrid. Did you use any hybrid binding now that you think is reliable? ty😊

That dog looks like it’s freezing!

this was set on my birthday!

Hi Flo, Hope to see you again in Tignes in December. This season at last I'm entitled to a Free Ski Pass 🤗 I cant wait for winter again... Having to live it up at the Fridge in Hemmel

Hi Floss, NevSki here. I hope you have some good summer plans. I need to buy some new ski boots, which is something that I know nothing about. I hear people talk about flex but could do with some pointers. I'd like them to help me perform on and off piste and be comfortable. Is their weight a factor? As I get older, I worry about 2 heavy lumps on my feet all day. Thanks Floss, see you in December NevSki

Great advise, hope this year goes well for you both

Hi Floss - now 61 years young skier.. I am finding my 185cm GS skis (Salomon XRace) too taxing to ski black mogul fields (though huge fun for cruising still). I am looking for a super stiff shorter slalom ski with a lot of edge and response. I bought a pair of Dynastar Speed 4x4 171cms after reading a good review in Ski Club magazine but have been very disappointed but their lack of edge and responsiveness.. What would you recommend as a great responsive ski with loads of bite??

Skiing daughter (17) non skiing father, looking for quality ski destination in Europe with good snow for 10-20 December 2024. Lifts near hotel, hotel is luxury, walkable to town centre, great apres and not too far from an airport. Flying ex LHR. Thanks

In terms of training, I think Mountain Biking covers many of the aspects of training for skiing as, not only is it a great leg and cardio work out, it is also a flow state sport (a much overlooked but extremely relevant aspect of skiing). Personally I find muscle tiredness, in skiing, is often caused by poor technique however my "skip leg day" theory left me with weaker legs that might have exacerbated my knee injury (although a large portion of that is my lack of ski maintenance). What do you do in summer? Not tempted for some July/August pow in Las Leñas?

Have you any new plans for next season Floss ? x ❤

What’s the best week of the season to ski in Tignes & Val? Thanks for the vids! 😊

Looking for some easy general fitness plans to keep in shape for next season? Any tips? Also Best week to ski (early or late season ?) thanks x

Hi Floss, hope you’re well. How do I prevent my goggles from freezing on the inside in bad weather? 😅

When and where are you planning intro to ski touring weeks in 2025, please?

Hey Floss - did the fellowship of the snowshoe in Turkey convince you to leave the skins at home next time?!🤣

Tips for finding healthy food at ski resorts. It seems to be all pizza, pasta, chips etc - where’s all the fresh fruit & veg, salad etc? This is one reason I generally go self catering and tend to take packed lunches. But still, it must be possible to find something healthy out there on the mountains without paying the earth.

Thanks for asking! What please do you suggest I do with my skis until next season? Is it worth putting some WD 40 on the edges, to stop them rusting? Thanks again, loved the videos through the winter and have a great Summer.

Are you running any intro to off piste skiing courses next season

Your winters must be tough. What's the one thing that keeps you getting up in the morning?

Drop your questions down below 👇

I've never been skiing!! :( lol

Seeing you take out the liner and the foot beds of your boots to dry them reminds me of the time that on one trip I was in agony wtih my boots at the end of the first day so off to the pro shop in resort. After warming and pressing out the shell I went skiing the next day - still the same so I went to a different pro shop just across the piste. The technician took the inners out and said do you know you've got them in the wrong boots? He couldn't believe that I'd had them into the other shop and they hadn't noticed that! Got back to the chalet and told my mate's that he'd taken my lift pass off me. Why? Well he said if I didn't know my right from my left then I shouldn't be on the mountain - howls of laughter all evening. So my tip is take your inners and insoles out one at a time and mark them L&R with a Sharpie! It's so easy when you are rushing to do something else to put them back in the wrong way round!

I think leaving my bindings untouched for 5 years is what lead to my MCL ACL injury :/ I focussed so much on avalanche equipment and avoidance that i stupidly let the basics slip. Thanks for this vid Another tip, take the batteries out of your transciever and save them for when that remote control stips working (cos youre gonna get new ones for next season)

Thank you Floss! Lots of good information. I had never thought about releasing the DIN springs but it make perfect sense. What about your climbing skins? Do you like to leave them glue on glue or do you put them back on the plastic sheet they came with? BTW EAFXtrader wondered if you will be back in Val D'Isere next season. I sure hope so!

Great video Flo 👍 You can also put some Vaseline on the edges if you have it. Will you be back in Val D'Isere next season?

Spray some WD40 on the bases/edges, throw them in the corner.

Let me know if you like the new TH-cam setup using a better camera up 👇Thanks for watching 😁

Great video production quality, Floss! They say ‘do what you love for a job and you’ll never work another day in your life’ 😅

coucou Flossy c'est Stéphane the cooker from Mountain story congrats for your qualification !! perfect 👍✨🥂 😉

Great work ❤...and thanks for sharing the love with us!!

Brilliant Flo ❤xx

Yeah, just rub it in why don't you 😂😂😂❤

👋😃

Loving this!! Total flash back to all the good skiing this season. Bring on the winter!

Cool video. It looks pretty chilled in the backcountry. I'm guessing this leads down to La Chénarie. How do you get from there back to 1800/2000? Is there a bus?

Binding setup would be a good one. Having focussed so much in the last few seasons on Avalanche awareness, I had totally neglected checking (or getting checked) my bindings for probs 5 years. As such, a recent crash has done some damage to my knee, mainly because of unmaintained bindings (along with some human factors too) which will take me out of a bout half of the skydiving season that has now started. I appreciate it is difficult to do as there's so many different types of alpine bindings

Love the out-takes 😄

Easter is the best time of the year to ski IMO

Been getting more interested in ski touring every year. Will drop you a mail about next year’s course. That looked like great fun.

Thanks for watching 😁....more videos to come...

Hi Floss Did you do the climb and ski you were talking about? Best Stephen and Finn

What size is this? 22L or 30L?

I went to Japan this winter and rode with a guide. His opinion was that Shifts are way to unreliable because just this season he had three guests who’s Shifts had broken.
