Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Part of the video is Moyen / Petit Envers, Part Vraie Vallee - The end is the same whichever variant of the VB you ski

Hardware store gloves - same as most lifties/ski instructors/guides wear - much more durable / cheaper than regular ski gloves + match the style of my skis

Idris, I've got the same thing from Lowes over here in black $19.00 bloody fantastic quality and value. For playing with cameras etc. they have fingerless fleece gloves with a mitten flap that rolls over the top. Bloody great for when you want to wander around and faff with a camera et al. @ $9

Rules for the Eurotest say
"The skis must be fit for purpose. The following of the FIS rules for GS skis is no longer mandatory for participants entering the Eurotest so should be treated as guidance only"

You know it makes sense.

Nice- I like the way at the end you cut just before you totalling taking out those stationary skiiers on that steep, rocky slope. Any survivors?

Day before yesterday. Yesterday was more uniform, but not as deep.
Camera is a common garden GoProHD2 - but chest mounted to avoid the Irobot tourist look.
