high altitude resorts like les arc just have the most amazing views as your are above all the other peaks and can see 100’s of kilometres into the distance it really feels like you are in the middle of the himalayas climbing a rocky icy peak

Damn, my craving for skiing is rising above and beyond with these awesome videos. Thanks man!!

I don't ski anymore and was never very good, but I really enjoy your videos. I also appreciate that you approach other skiers with caution and are not a jerk about passing people who are going at their own pace, even when they're unpredictable. It's nice to see.

Fair play, bet there’s not many have done that top to bottom in 1 hit, especially not at that speed! 2km vertical drop in under 12mins is good going 👍🏼

C’est absolument sublime, certainement l’une des plus belles descentes des Alpes, merci pour cette superbe vidéo ! En plus c’est hyper bien filmé par rapport à d’autres vidéos KZfaq je trouve.

Love this run. Did it a couple of weeks ago. Substantially more than 12 mins. Thanks, I can relive it.

That's very fast skiing, well done! I did it last week in 24 mins, but it was only my third week skiing. I had a fall @6:00 section, it was quite icy there

Awesome - heading there this weekend for the week so will make this a priority. Conditions look great.

Perfect, enjoyed a lot!! keep it up man!!!

Finally a video in a great resort ;)

Nice run. Beautiful views. Reminds me of my many trips there as a yut!

Bel effort Alex, tu as eu la chance de ne pas tomber sur une piste trop fréquentée surtout sur la partie étroite de la descente ! (de 2mn33 à 4mn). Nous y sommes allés il y a 5 semaines pendant les vacances scolaires françaises et il y avait un peu plus de monde :) mais les mêmes conditions climatiques. Cette descente est vraiment magique et je te crois volontiers quand tu dis que tu as mis du temps à t'en remettre. Les muscles souffrent, surtout les cuisses!! :D

For now I'm still learning how to ski in the begineer area in Vallandry, but I hope I'll one day be able to do this run as it is certainly one of the most beautiful run in France and a must-do (even in summer to enjoy the view) in Paradiski

Ths is so beautiful!

Well done ! even though you are making me feel inadequate again :-)

love it. on the way to les menuires this Saturday !

3:17 steady on now! 🤣

Awesome. You and I ski very much alike… pushing the boundaries. I just happened upon your channel and love the footage. It’s inspiring. It really makes me want to find a way to travel more and enjoy all these amazing mountains of this planet. I’ve spent most of my time in the Rockies but have yet to venture overseas.

Incroyable

Took a fall in the early section there two days ago. Helmet was a lifesaver! Was able to continue after collecting my skis. Let this inspire the small minority that has yet to wear a helmet to invest in proper safety gear!

Nice contents👏

Awesome video! What do you use to film it? Love the speed and latitude graphics!

Great video - when did you shoot it? Do you think that going on december 17th too risky?

Still the two old chairlifts in Villaroger... It takes a long time, to go up to Arc 2000 again...

Great video! Disappointingly narrow run.

The top is a lot steeper in real life, the gopro does not do it justice! And of course this guy is shredding and making it look easy. I did this run in a blizzard with zero visibility and it was very difficult, my friend even lost a ski in deep snow, took us a good 15mins to find it and dig it out.

Did it early April 2011, wearing T-shirt & shorts all the way from the top. Couldn't get all the way to Villaroger - the bottom had all melted it was so hot.

You really have got to have your wits about you Alex! I can almost hear your mind whirring as you approach someone whose doing turns across your route, trying to decide which way to pass them.

Once again a great video. So long and wonderful scenery. What about a dial to measure the heat of your legs? I think I would need a Satnav to find my way to the bottom lift without missing a turn.

"Sheet of Ice." OK Those other skiers can't handle it.

I bet you couldn't wait for the sauna at the hotel after a run like that without stopping. My thighs hurt for you lol

Crazy how mellow the first part looks through the GoPro. That first section down from the ski lift is a lot steeper looking in real life! I visited Les Arcs during Easter and also did the top to bottom, but with wet spring snow combined with Sahara sand that made for very sticky snow that was hard to handle. I also took at wipeout mid-run at 70 km/h when I hit a soft and sticky spot :) My legs were tired and shaking already halfway down and I really had to struggle in the sticky wet conditions to make it all the way down in one go (without any other breaks than picking up the gopro and skis after the crash). Great job in making it all the way down at your speed, and in 12 minutes! Here's my video of my 15 minute run: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j61-aKWVzbqpZ2w.html

I think I tried it this winter, but i couldn't say that it was a black one :)

2:36 What are you doing? Isn't there enough space to pass people by safely?

I think you missed out the really steep mogully bit at the top :)

The speed is sometimes wrong like at 7:20 it shows that you are going about 40 mph when your going about 15 mph

hah! That was well played ... even tho' 'twas mostly sh#fk skiing. and I mean the 'sheet of ice' . I have skied 50 years of 100 day seasons and I ain't never seeen a sign like that. I arrive Bourg Mar 3 and it better not be sh#fk conditions then. I want 6,500 of Creamy Groomers. Ya' Know: Boot-top on Groomers. I want Mag-Lev skiing.

@3:22 its those skiers that dont finish their turns that are always so unpredictible to pass on the slopes, yet we are the ones responsible for their lack of technique sadly. overall a lovely run ^^

The recorded speeds aren't relative to what you're doing. At one point, it says 9 kph when you're clearly doing more! And vice versa.

blue one

the speedometre seems delayed

Les arc is class was there last month but didnt go on that one cause i dont like narrow runs

How do you add the speed track?

GPS data on the screen has more than 10 seconds of delay

God I wish the stupid mandates would be over and I could go skiing! I miss it so much.

여기는 코리아!!! 설질이 빙판같기도하고

That is Les arcs

You went the wrong way at the bottom!

3:17 ???????

I suspect speed is a bit off

^^ lesq skis de péons XD Dynast&ar..... rien qe ça XD

Looks icy and unpleasant.

Vous êtes un véritable danger de faire ça sur des pistes ouvertes

So boring. Sliding from one leg to the other or going straight like a lunatic. Show us some carving at some point.

Ahora entiendo porque se matò shumacher esquiando en Francia ,es muy peligroso!!!

Not a 'long black' - basically just a looping groomed trail. On average a blue run at best
