Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Irresponsible skiers in Chevalier Couloir?

miranda, what the skiings like depends so much on the snow conditions. A descent in a fat year on good snow could be very different to a descent on hard snow in a lean year.

This shows some good skiing on a very aesthetic (and tougher) line in full and is much better inspiration:

miranda, I wouldn't mind. Need to buy an ice axe though Wink

The closest I've managed is probably the Trifides Grand couloir

Skip to 0:40 for the amusing pep talk from the guide Laughing
in La Grave. Not as big as the one in the opening post I suspect, but lovely skiing.

AndAnotherThing.., what a shame the camera ran out before the lovely skiing! I did like the fall "grrr… like a cat" bit Laughing

meh, that is completely terrifying, especially with the slightly manic background music adding to the atmosphere!

miranda, yeah I've not skied anything quite that full on but it's amazing how easy it is to access that sort of terrain with dirty great lifts to the tops of mountains.

Here's something a bit more fun:

The nice thing about steep skiing and skiing generally is the breadth of possibility.

meh, ha, yes, that does look a lot more fun and inspiring for the likes of me (looking to start pushing myself a bit more). One of our very experienced guests unfortunately ended up in hospital this season (broken bone) and was in there with a guy who'd survived a collapsing snow bridge on the Vallee Blanche - unfortunately one of his friends wasn't so lucky Sad (They were in a group of 6 with a guide and 2 of them fell). I'm just about overcoming the fear that's crept in over the last year or so but sometimes stories like that don't help… so it's good to see fun videos that make you think 'yeah, I really want to try that' (no, I don't think I'll be matching those guys in the video any time soon Laughing)

meh, I've been regaled with heroic stories the ENSA descents but those boys made it look very easy. I guess it's about finding it condition.

miranda, Are you fully rehab'd up now and back to skiing ?

miranda, the other thing is that even if the ski isn't that great you get to look back up at it and think to yourself "that's ridiculous and I just skied it"

this was mostly a lousy ski in the couloir because there hadn't been much snow and there was a big trench from sideslippers. but it looks cool and the snow in the apron was delightful:



Cool

AndAnotherThing.., yes, back to skiing and really, it's a mental thing now (having lessons, have been relaxing more, thus technique is getting better all the time and I'm slowly getting a bit braver, though I've wimped out of the heavy snow/white out conditions today Embarassed)

Arno, that does look cool Cool

miranda, Glad it's going OK. It's mostly about getting the head in the right place - so to speak Laughing

Prob my favourite on line ski vid. Used to regularly turn the lights down and pop that on full screen HD. Great atmosphere, great soundtrack too.
