Skiing in 3 Feet of Powder in Val d’Isère

Thursday 3 September 2009 @ 12:46 pm

Amazing skiing conditions in Val d’Isère with 3 feet of fresh powder on the ground. These extreme skiers catch these conditions and film this ski video at the top of Glacier de Pisaillas. Val d’Isère is one of the best and biggest ski resorts in the French Alps. There is plenty of skiing for everyone, from beginners to backcountry experts as can be seen in this video.

Watch in this ski video and how pro skiers, which are part of the Bonskieur Ski Team,  ski in deep powder. The terrain isn’t very hard or steep but any extreme backcountry skier would dream of going down a run like that. Can’t catch conditions like this everyday.

Here we have a Mt Blanc glacier ski video filmed on the Brenva Glacier in the backcountry of Chamonix. For those who don’t know, Mt Blanc is the highest peak in the Europe and is located in the French Alps, close to the Swiss border. The town of the resort is Chamonix and is well known as one of the best ski resorts in the world.

The snow skiers in this video ski do some hiking using freeride binding that unhook at the heel and then ski down some incredible steeps in the glaciers in powder only found in the backcountry.

Note that most of the skiing starts after the half way point of the video.

1962 Backcountry Skiing in Courchevel, France

Tuesday 21 July 2009 @ 11:05 am

This video was made in the 60s with some retro backcountry skiers skiing in Courchevel, in the French Alps. Warren Miller take us back in time, before the days of avalanche transmitters, they used balloons filled with helium as seen in this video. Some of the skiers in this video are not the best, but it’s still an interested view back.
