In true white out, stay off the mountain. I got caught and literally couldn’t tell in fog//freshies that I was still moving. I figured it out when I bumped into a rut on trail side. Luckily I found trees nearby to get down. I actually got motion sickness from being completely disoriented. Makes you understand how people die in those conditions (someone actually did that day. Went the wrong way and died in a tree well). I do not mess with that type of conditions any more.
Merci pour tous ces conseils. Je pars à Tignes samedi comme chaque année et vu la météo annoncée, je pense que je vais pouvoir les mettre en application !
A first time skier here. I just put on my cheap sunglasses I got in decathlon. Already 7 days into the skiing trip. The conditions here are somewhat warm however. Lows negatives -1~-5. In Bansko
Yep definitely keep your turns tighter . I count to myself and turn usually on 4 this keeps me on an even track. Another point concerning more foggy conditions , on the right hand piste poles there should be rings so you know you are on the piste. Saved me many times but surprisingly not a lot of people know this. Don’t know if this system is used everywhere🤔
skiing indoors I’m feeling good, maybe best ever now… but my body is not happy so very much still working on it. Hoping to make it to the mountains soon though even I’m not doing all that much skiing 🤞
The first trip of last season the afternoon we arrived in Bormio where I've never skied before was complete while out when we got to the top. Good tips! I find untinted yellow lenses best for my eyes in whiteout but I'm not sure anything would have worked there. We just had to use the force going from liste marker to piste marker. Not sure the red eye flight helped 😂
@FreeFloFloss I think we're ready for skiing. Have to take it easy and see how I go but I'm skiing with beginners for the first week so that's gonna be ideal! Peace Joy and Pow ✌🏼
Ha! If there's no pressure on your skis you are probably pointing downhill. Val D' is useless in a white-out... following a line o' Brits following a line of marker-poles. Smith Storm Blue or Yellow lens with at least 60% VLT Visible-Light-Transmission: Most Dark lenses are 25%. Get a Thumb Squeegie and punch yerself in the face trying to wipe goggles. Do an Inspection Runs and then Rip a Trusty Groomer at GS speeds...With 10cms fresh and rime sticking and blacking out yer goggles...! At least the lift lines are shorter... ps: 'Harold Harb' ... Everybody is out there planting poles and Going Up. Flexed Transitions Rules !!
Look for anything that creates contrast: trees, rocks, piste markers, rope lines. Goggles don't create contrast, but they can enhance it. If you're in steep alpine terrain & the weather whites out, ask any other skier nearby for help; they may know the terrain & may guide you, or, at the very least, send you in the safest & easiest direction. 🏂⛷️
If you haven't got a strong but flexible stance, you will have by the time you get to the bottom.🫣 Whiteout skiing is a great experience to show up any problems in your basic technique in my experience.👍

Thanks Jeff for sharing
Literally skied off the trail in flat light conditions one time. Took 15 minutes to dig myself out and I was very fortunate!
Lucky ...we have all done that one time or another
Yeah, happened to me in Big White years ago.😢
On the plus side...great snow underfoot, ooh, that lovely crunchy sound I adore!
Totally... It is so nice to have fresh snow under foot ...😁
@@FreeFloFloss Yes it's divine. Sent directly from the snow god! 😁

Who is your new assistant in the orange ski pants? What a guy! 😂
What guy ...Happy New Year ...
Hi Floss, I hope the snow is still looking good! Heading out on the 11th :)
We have some snow coming in Thursday night which is needed and more forecasted next week. Which is great!
Happy New Year and congrats on 5K! 🎉
Happy New Year...How are you getting on?

great to hear from you matt ...hows the knee?

Good tips, especially: keep turning, follow someone so you can visually orientate yourself, stand tall, stay relaxed (soft knees, relaxed waist)
Thanks for watching and your message!
Great advice and tips or you could do what I do in tignes on a white out day. Jack it in and head to moose bar 😅
Sometimes that is the best thing to do..Surrender
im a good skier, but with white wind is like learn again
We are all a bit like that..
Ethan needs some lessons!
