We were in Verbier as it finished a couple of years ago. We managed to overtake one team in their ridiculous lycra suits and they couldn't live with our downhill pace.
Mind you they only had five skis between the three of them! 
Mighty impressive and you should se the speed they transition from ski to run at Medran to cut a few seconds off their time to the finish.
I wish I was fit and skilled enough to give it a go

I will stick to my blues, reds and occasional black runs but it looked amazing and petrifying in equal measure when they were skiing through the night.

It's huge, the Swiss military spend millions staging it. You'll need to have done quite a
bit of skimo before trying it.

@Daleybou1234, I've never been or will be that fit. A friend of mine finished it last year at the second attempt.

The Ski Mountaineering World Championships are being held in Verbier 6th to 12th February, with a GB Team competing, including at least one Snowhead. If any Snowheads are in the area, come and cheer them on.
