Poster: A snowHead
|
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
The closest I've managed is probably the Trifides Grand couloir http://youtube.com/v/kPYANT-VvD4
Skip to 0:40 for the amusing pep talk from the guide in La Grave. Not as big as the one in the opening post I suspect, but lovely skiing.

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

AndAnotherThing.., what a shame the camera ran out before the lovely skiing! I did like the fall "grrr… like a cat" bit
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, 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, Glad it's going OK. It's mostly about getting the head in the right place - so to speak

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.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.
