The main focus of this channel is to help you guys become Damn Skilled at skiing, so if you need any info on getting out to the slopes, gear or technique let me know.

Quick note - there seems to be an issue with the GoPro speed tracker, I will try and sort out for next video.

I will be uploading a video every week to youtube over the ski season. Subscribe to improve!

i´ve skied at 100km/h and there is no way the speed on this video is right

[josep.peruga]

Okay after doing some rough calculations I worked out it is actually possible he is going 100 km/h. At one point in the video he is going around 100 km/h average during 10 seconds while passing 18 ski poles in total. Rearranging the S=D/T formula we are left with D=SxT. 100 km/h in m/s is around 28 m/s so if we multiply it by 10, 51 seconds (time taken to pass 18 poles) we are left with a total distance of 294, 28m. Divide that by 18 and you get the average distance between poles, which is 16, 34. If you have ever skied you will know that the poles are more or less this distance apart.

So he is going 100 km/h.

Does it look like it?
Absolutely not. When skiing yourself you know 100 feels a lot faster and that is maybe due to the increased wind noise and adrenaline going through your body. In the video it probably doesn’t look like 100 because of how wide the track is, the smoothing of the GoPro and because you are not actually there.

Also, the video is not synced correctly with the gopro speedometer, explaining why it said he was going 22 while walking.

I hope this cleared a few doubts and arguments in the comments lol 😂

Oh wow, this brought back so many memories and the lactic acid . I’m 64 now and not been for quite a few years I do miss the fresh air, laughter and sleep . And the smell of those log cabins thanks . You’ve got me all fired up now ? I was a BASI ski instructor and at one point raced in the Martini championships slalom came 3rd back in 1974

I've boarded this ... it is not a black really, apart from a few small sections. Having said that, it is a very steep red which frankly is sooo much better. Truly one of the greatest runs in the Alps (apart from the long flat traverse to the village of course).

[glowinqlu]

This is why I love skiing, it makes you feel so free. I had to cancel my Christmas trip and my spring trip this year. I’m so excited to go skiing in 2 weeks!

[RainbowMonsterNom]

Me and some of my family go every year. We board the Saranne maybe 3 times in the week that we go and im devastated that this January we wont be doing it again. This video bought back all the good memories and adrenaline rush from dropping down that first cut. Hopefully 2022 we can get back there!

[arongroen]

Beautiful run, but dude there is nothing black about any of this footage.

[andrasmoldovan]

something is wrong. It shows 50 and passing slowly a guy who is cruising at leisure at max 15. max 20-25 at that moment

[CediDaehler]

**drives on a flat part of the track:* 80
**drives down:* 60

[coolguy-jcnh]

If this is 100kmh then it means I’m skiing at 300kmh

[powderedharp]

Lovely stuff. Looking forward to doing the Sarenne in the next couple of years :-)

[vincenzo]

This brought back so many memories from my time there. the run looks familiar. Nice vid!

[pedromagnani]

this is probably the best ski video... just the noise from the wind and nothing else. No cuts, no cool music, no nothing, just ski :D

[toraakl]

I actually got chills watching this, words cant describe how much I miss this feeling

[alphascorpii]

Love this track and love l'Alpe d'Huez. No matter the color, it's such a nice moment, starting at 3300m down to 1800, 15km of pure beautiful mountain. When, like me, you don't want to take the risk of skiing out of the limits.

[Simonjburgess]

That backdrop though! Never been to Alpe d'Huez, but certainly added to my list now

[ignacbonifac]

Beautiful! The worst are those moments of the play of light and shadows. Then those who drive from forest to forest.

[Sardy]

Thanks heaps for the telemetry tips! Can't wait to try this out next season! Awesome run.

Some things never change, no matter where you go. It's not the run which poses any kind of threat, it's the unskilled flailers...you've got to anticipate their moves at least
50 yards away. This looks like a nice, easy cruiser.

[james.beatty]

Normally I don't like wind noise in a video, but in this case it perfectly adds to the sense of speed. Well done!
