Another gem to add to every skier's "video encyclopedia" of the top slopes around the world! 👍

[@ChasingSnow]

Cheers! Morning warm-up, I hadn't done this one for many years...

[@rainmaker3700]

Looks like there could be some good tree skiing on the lower portion of the mountain.

[@ChasingSnow]

Yeah, Verbier has some great runs...

[@barrylongyear1933]

Lumps and bumps. My knees would never forgive me. In those very narrow ungroomed trails, such as the off piste treks through the trees, when you are at the bottom of a trough barely wide enough at the bottom for two skis, and then it gets steep, you seem to have an unusual ability to control your speed. I'd like to know more about that.

[@ChasingSnow]

If I know the trail well and I know what to expect, then I go full speed, skis close and parallel. If not, such as here, I go back to the very basics. It's the only way I know, but I'm no expert. I have long skis so I can't think of anything else. I'm sure you are familiar with the basics, we all are, that's how we start...

[@barrylongyear1933]

The only basics I know for slowing down are the wedge, turning, a little hockey stop turn none of which look possible in those gullies you were skiing in, especially with long skis. @@ChasingSnow

[@ChasingSnow]

@barrylongyear1933 when it's narrow, I use the snow plough, which you call a wedge. Unless you are referring to something else? If you put a timestamp of the exact part of the video, it can take a look.

[@ChasingSnow]

I've just rewatched this one and I use the sides to control speed at times, like you can see at 09:30 and 09:50. I do that a lot, expecially end of day when the pistes are junk, I ski down the side and control speed that way...

[@Diartikk]

I guess the bottom part was still closed ? No poles to indicate where the slope goes... I would get lost in the tree section, the correct path was not evident !

[@ChasingSnow]

Yeah, it was closed, I assume the correct path was to turn left at the fork but I took the right path into the trees.

[@gerardolivier5250]

jeezus, thats some shitty bumpy slopes

[@ChasingSnow]

It's always closed when I go so had to do it in that condition...

[@mariabeau6496]

i think at 7:50 you went the wrong way and you should have gone left. There are not yellow poles after that in your video

[@ChasingSnow]

Yes, I think you are right but it was closed and there were no poles showing me the way...
