I used to think that Flying Grannies where those who whizzed round the country sorting out grandchildren at half terms and holidays, these are a much more inspirational bunch - but probably (as we all do) also sort out their grandchildren as well.

That is just awesome. I just hope that I can ski that well by the time I'm 60-odd, but with only 30 years of practice available I'm not so sure. Truly something to aspire to though...

Inspirational - actually much more so than any of the extreme skiing films because it looks achievable.
Delightful - I think I will dream happy tonight.

Cameraman is Florian, a guide at www.crescentspurheliskiing.com. He skies in a racing snowplough with the camera on a pole and we are all marvelling at the strength of his thighs!

That's what I'm dreaming it will be like for the off piste bash next week.
I'm quite scared that it will be absolutely nothing like that.

Agree, it is superb. Gives a perfect view if what the skiing was like.

Lovely cut-glass accent from the third one!

I've realised this is probably you! Please take it as a compliment!!
I think this is the first ski video I've ever felt compelled to watch more than once. It is simply stunning on every level.

Why is that so watchable compared to some of the gnarly jumping off rocky precipices stuff? Maybe because of that camera work which makes it feel as if you are skiing right alongside them, part of the action. And because of the style, too - relaxed, efficient, unshowy.

skilegs, well deserved flattery - you make it look so effortless, and enjoyable.
It was only when I watched it for the second time with OH that I saw your names are all at the end - that scuppers my any chance of conning people that I was one of the group!!
Great stuff.

If there was ever a bit of video that really shows the beauty of skiing, this is it.
Well done ladies. Excellent work Florian.

I am truly humbled. If I am still riding like that in another 30 years time I will be, as they say, stoked.
