    Another really good video! I miss Euro skiing so much. The long runs from top to bottom, especially end of day. You can really drag out that last run.....make it last seemingly forever!

      @@Alexskiing thanks Alex! your videos are a major source of motivation for me just starting out this season. recently working on “intermediate carving” where i want to reduce skidding in my turns and have the edges bite more into the hill. i think the solution here is more ANGULATION!

    A very good video. Thank You.
    For those of you wishing to practice the longest run at Les 2 Alpes in the winter,
    you can go from the max top to the min bottom, which is from 3600m to 1000m.
    Instead of turning right when descending to Les 2 Alpes as depicted in Alex Wrigglesworth ' s video,
    you turn left and descend to Venosc.
    It is 2600m of vertical fall in a very beautiful and very long run.
    The only " detail " is the enormous amount of time you lose to climb from 1000m back to 3600m !
    Just 2 things more : you need to be a skilled skier and you
    only can ski to Venosc in january when snowy.
    I wish you all good runs and I wish myself
    to go and ski someday in the US,
    which is my dream , a dream
    I have written in my
    to-do list
    I have written : skiing in the USA, skiing in Asia or New Zealand, skiing in South America 🎿⛷⛷⛷🎿

    Nice run! I struggle to get anywhere near 100kph, as I'm usually wearing a summit jacket over my windstopper, which creates far too much resistance to go that fast. I used to ski Val d'Isere at least once a season, which has some decent runs from the top of the glacier, though haven't been to France since the start of the pandemic. One of my favourite runs is in Ischgl, Austria, which is 11km, top to bottom, with a good mix of black and reds, including some mogul and off-piste options. There are longer runs (17k), where you can ski into Switzerland, though much of it's quite flat and it can get very busy with duty free shoppers. The main thing that stands out for me when comparing France with Austria is that the best Austrian resorts have better lifts than most of the resorts in France and it tends to be a bit cheaper too. Incidentally, and without wanting to seem too critical, some of the shots where your shadow appears suggests you occasionally use too much upper body in your turns, which reduces your control over the skis, and although you are clearly an inter-advanced skiier, you could give a tiny bit more consideration to other skiiers, as even at 30mph, if one of them turns into you you're going to hurt them. Just saying!

    • @davidkovacs5432
      @davidkovacs5432 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      For many years I've been skiing in France, because its just soo cheap, compared to other countries, and oh how much I miss the Austrian lifts.

    • @gigmcsweeney8566
      @gigmcsweeney8566 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@davidkovacs5432 Yes, the fact that you can still do all-inclusive chalet deals does make France a bit cheaper, especially as many of the old-style guesthouses in the best Austrian resorts, which used to be excellent value for the money, have now been turned into 'boutique hotels'. If you're skiing at either end of the season there aren't that many good options that are snow sure, so Solden was always our first trip of the year, usually in late November. Dec-Jan in Ischgl, or maybe Val d'Isere or Meribel if Ischgl was booked up, which started to happen when the rich Russians discovered the place. They'd book up all the best hotels and there'd be a trickle down effect, with even the most basic hotels charging premium rates. Though Ischgl is still hard to beat for a last hurrah at the end of the season.

      I watched the whole video and enjoyed it very much, but I also thought he was passing people too close (some times). It can be quite scary when people pass you like that and can cause an accident even if you didn't touch them. With that being said, I'm pretty sure I have done the same thing a million times, but it's something I try to be better at myself. :)

      I have never done it but the downhill biking looks pretty insane. I could see some of the bridges that the track uses when I was coming up the lift.

    This looks like it would be one of the most fun things to do ever! I have been inline skating for years, but have always wanted to try skiing! It would feel weird not being able to do crossovers and fast running strides, but I do enjoy a good downhill run even on my skates! Hopefully all that experience will do me more good than harm when I finally decide to start skiing! Maybe they have shorter skis that would feel a little closer to inlines...

    • @Alexskiing

      Hey I really hope you get to try skiing soon. Expert skiers sometimes practice in the summer on inline skates so I think it would be really easy for you to start skiing.

    An incredible run! While I think skiing looks fun, about a month or so back internally fractured my elbow while learning to ski, and while it is healing I doubt that I'll ever have full range of extention and contraction in that elbow.
    But still - that looked fun!

    Great long descent and high speed! 💪👍 Though looks like it consists from blue runs only! As I remember you were unlucky to be in Soelden in the lockdown time last year, and many runs were closed to try the longest descent in Soelden. I think the longest descent in Soelden is more interesting. One question. How long time your GoPro 10 accumulator worked in the cold and at what temperature? Do you have Enduro accumulator?
    Besides my Sony XDR 3000, I used GoPro 10 this year as well having regular accumulator and sometimes it did not want to work even at about minus 7-8 degree.

    • @Alexskiing
      @Alexskiing  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey! I would love to try the long decent in Soelden. I just use the normal battery's but I keep them in my pocket and until I need to use them so they stay warm. When you start the GoPro make sure you obtain GPS signal then start the recording. I use 4k 60fps when it starts recording it tends to be fine as the heat generated by the camera keeps the battery warm enough to work at much lower temperatures.

    Enjoyed your videos so much! Really nice work! The first part of the piste seems quite suitable for me to practise those carved turns. Have been looking for wide piste with moderate gradient which are not too crowded. Any recommendations in terms of resort/piste?

    • @Alexskiing
      @Alexskiing  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Yu Him Law, Thanks for your complement. I would recommend Alpe D'Huez because it has a really large bowl of easy runs just abouve the resort. As you go up the mountain the gradient of the runs tends to get steeper. This is the opposite to les Deux Alpes I think it makes it easier to learn.

    It’s my second season skiing and I’m really stuck with getting my parallel turns down and learning how to carve, I still go into a pizza often and I cannot smoothly go into short turns/long turns. Any advice would be much appreciated from a veteran skier like you!

    • @Alexskiing
      @Alexskiing  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm not an instructor but I have met alot off people with similar skiing issues. I would say confidence in skiing is the most important thing when learning. Going from pizza to parallel it's going to be easier on a slightly steeper slop. All the best

    • @NiirTheRaccoon
      @NiirTheRaccoon 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I am not sure if it translates, but one person gave me a tip for inline turning on skates (which I presume is very similar to a parallel turn on skis) that really helped me in learning how to turn better. They told me to bend my ankle towards the direction I want to go with the leading foot, then commit and lean into it some, and the following foot will naturally fall into place. It's all pretty difficult to explain with this kind of stuff. >.< I think that with stuff like this, the only way to truly understand is to experience it yourself haha. So keep practicing!
