I think it was late morning, around 11:00 or so.

It's true because at St Gervais, the runs cross each other to encourage growth in skills. This run ends at a red or blue run and it's the only way to finish the piste

@@dubs-dad Not really so, if you stick to chateluy, and go across the red clairere, you can then 'green' run all the way down, and the only blue run is the right at the bottom bit of finance to the base of Bettex, then if you are going back to Megeve you can go down the short green heading for the blue poue blanche, to the base of the Monts Rosset chair, and at the top you go down the blue perapacot crossing the red maurice milloz to the princesse gondola base, and then at the top take the green mandarines down to Megeve, and apart from crossing clairere and maurice milloz you don't touch a red.

Peut-être. Je trouve le plan des pistes des Houches difficile à suivre en comparant mes vidéos.

Unfortunately I'm no longer in Grindelwald and I think 32 black was closed when I was there.

@Skiflicks awesome videos bro. How long were you out there? And how pricey was the trip if you dont mind me asking. Thinking about trying to make a trip out there as well.

@@coryd8814 I was there for 12 days. It snowed just when I arrived so the conditions were great. It was white everywhere, but since then I've noticed the lower regions are without snow. You should check the webcams and snow reports. Switzerland is more expensive than other countries so I spent more per day than places in Austria and France. Check the ski pass rates for Grindelwald to get an idea (www.jungfrau.ch/en-gb/jungfrau-ski-region/buy-skipass/ ). I hope you have a great ski holiday!

@Skiflicks thanks for the info man. Lookin forward to your next videos

Yes. It is possible to go everywhere. To go from IDEAL to MONT ROSSOT and back you would take Prapacot from the top of the MONT ROSSOT lift to the midway of the PRINCESSE lift. You can see this on the ski map: www.skiflicks.com/wp-content/uploads/Saint-Gervais-Ski-Map-1.jpg

Thanks for the comment. From what I can see on the St. Gervais ski map, it looks like Mandarines begins at the top right of the IDEAL ski lift, runs alongside the MANDARINES poma lift, past the bottom of the IDEAL ski lift and then down to the Mt. D'Arbois lift. Have a look at this ski map: www.skiflicks.com/wp-content/uploads/Saint-Gervais-Ski-Map-1.jpg If you know for sure what this piste is, then please let me know and I'll change it. Thanks a lot.

Looks like Mandarine to me. That run carries on but he's cut left down the track back to the Ideal chair lift.

You can get to the top of piste 85 via the Schindlergrat lift, or take the Valluga 1 lift and ski down. Here's the ski map: www.skiflicks.com/wp-content/uploads/Ski_Arlberg_St_Anton_Zurs_ski_map_large.jpg

This is a blue piste (201 blue). The snow was very slushy, so maybe the skiing looks more difficult than it was. You can find the the piste on this ski map: www.skiflicks.com/wp-content/uploads/Ski_Arlberg_St_Anton_Zurs_ski_map_large.jpg

Yes it is, but then you don't carve as much, so less fun.

Cross over carving on inline skates is a very dynamic way to practice the form needed for downhill ski carving. The beauty of it is that you can do carving turns while going on uphill, downhill or flat terrain. In a way it combines alpine (downhill) skiing with cross country skiing. If you're not familiar with skiing, then I can understand why you would ask your question.

@@Skiflicks ahhhh. Thanks. Yea. I skied once over 20 years ago. I will try doing this once I get better at crossovers since my wife wants to ski.

@@rururu5630 Here's another video of mine that gives you a better idea of the cross over carving technique: czcams.com/video/z_72YWFrpFI/video.html

Also, the best way to develop the cross over carving technique is to find an open space like an empty parking lot. Practice skating in circles both clockwise and counter-clockwise until you feel comfortable going in both directions. Then start skating in a figure eight. Skating in a figure eight is the key. The rest becomes a lot easier afterwards.

@@Skiflicks Thanks!!! I will try all that!

Yes, it helps to have a wide area to turn (carve) on. I skate on hard wheels and need to change them once a year.

This was filmed in the second week of January 2018.

This is indeed a technique for practicing ski carving. However, as far as I'm concerned, inline skate carving should be a sport in itself. If you're into gravity sports, this is right up there. In terms of slowing down, check out this other video of mine where you can better see the relationship between inline skate carving and downhill skiing: czcams.com/video/z_72YWFrpFI/video.html

To add a Perspektive.... I think its really fun carving around. In terms of efficiency its obviously not good.

@@blackyraypatrick9041 Efficiency is relative here. I carve on skates to develop my leg muscles and also balance. This skating technique is one of the few sports that give you the force to really build leg muscles, similar to skiing or cycling uphill.

Hi, It's piste 1 at the Rendlbahn (St. Anton). Great piste to ski down! I spent most of the day on this one.

Thanks for the tip. I'm interested in finding skating paths with enough width to slalom back and forth. Anything wider than 5 meters.

killjoy

With that way of skating you at least add a more balanced shape for your wheels so that you won't have to turn them all the time.

Yes, this is in the Vondelpark.

Came to check that too hehe. Nice carving skills!!
