    scraped snow is much like compacted snow and is nothing like riding on ice. first off I ski race so there could be some difference in prefrence here but with sharp skis and when constantly carving your turns there is almost no suck thing as ice, scraped snow or grumed snow. powder is a different story. other than that fairly accurate. nice boarding!

    I was there in March this year. This winter was very dry this year but temperatures remained very low until mid march after the last snowfall in February. According to the orientation, sun exposure, altitude, the conditions were changing all the time. I have never skied on a snow that hard on some slopes, it hurt the knees.

    Quality vid as always, Austria been getting our first snow the past few weeks, very hyped for winter as always. Got to say scraped snow is my least favourite snow condition to ride in, its always deceptively bad and inconsistent. At least with ice you know exaclty what you're getting yourself into!

    Just got back from Val Thorens.
    Thank you very much for your tutorial series Malcolm. I had 4 months Freebord experience (concrete snowboarding) but not any snowboard experience. I binged all your videos over the past month and by the end of the week I was ripping the reds in VT and Orelle, finishing off the week with this friendly black run. I like to think my technique was ok and I didn't feel out of control at any point, but next time I go I'll get an instructor to push things a bit more and refine any bad habits that I may have picked up (and also to learn how to deal with moguls)
    Strongly recommend d3o crash pants though! I fell quite a lot at first but perhaps this is less necessary if you have an instructor.

    That run (Col de Laudzin) is nice, but from the Cime de Caron it's difficult not to opt for the Lac du Lou off piste itinerary instead. Not hard, usually not busy, just very beautiful. Bit of a painful heel-side traverse (Goofy) at the end, but well worth it. (Point of Order: Pointe du Bouchet in Orelle is the highest point in the 3V lift system, by a whopping 30m! :)

    Brilliant video! All the personality comes out when you express yourself in the snow!!
    Brilliant ending.
    Watching this a good video would be to explain your thought process in avoiding others while snowboarding, on different slopes, speeds, snow types etc. so we can overtake or be aware of others coming up behind us.
    For example a friend was trying a ground trick on a green and got smashed by a random guy. What could he or the random guy have done to avoid this happening.

    • @malcolmmoore
      @malcolmmoore  Před rokem +2

      I mean if you're in front then technically you should be able to do what you want, but I will check up the slopes behind me quite often, just because some people aren't very good at giving you enough space!

    • @maniamuse1319
      @maniamuse1319 Před rokem +1

      Depends on what type of green. They come in different flavours like the dedicated beginner areas with lots of unpredictable possibly out if control beginner skiers/boarders, narrow green tracks which can be super busy at certain times of the day or places where faster slopes merge into beginner areas which can sometimes be the most dangerous as you get big differences in speeds. If you are trying something out for the first time and might fall over a few times or lose control then it is probably best to find somewhere quiet-ish and make sure you do it at the edge of the slope and not somewhere where you won't be seen until the last second like just over a roller. All just about reading the traffic and slope conditions and adjusting accordingly. Know your ability and ski/ride within that (e.g. a day 1 beginner who can't even sideslip shouldn't be on a steep, icy black or in the snow park), try to ski/ride predictably but expect others to be unpredictable (especially in busy/beginner areas), know and follow the piste code but expect others to ignore it, give others a wide berth when overtaking, control your speed for the slope conditions and make sure you can always stop in the distance you can see. If everyone on the slopes adopted that mindset then you would avoid most collisions between randomers.
