This is the unique side of Verbier: ungroomed but secured pistes. I love these. Especially in Verbier, because they are relatively wide, so you won't get into any serious trouble. I remember doing this one the first time in not the best of conditions and my legs were seriously burning.
Yes, I call Verbier off-piste heaven because of the yellow/itinerary runs, where I feel much safer as the Swiss have a clear definition (avalanche safe). Now that I've thought about it, this is the first time I did this route. Mont Fort - La Chaux, Mont-Gele - Tortin I did plenty of times but first time for Mont Fort - Tortin.
Hello, when you go off-piste skiing like in this video, are you equipped with equipment like a shovel, a probe, a transceiver, etc.? It must be rather dangerous to go off-piste without equipment and alone ?
Hi, on this day I had the full avalanche kit including the airbag because the risk was high but you don't need to bring one, it's at your own risk and if the avalanche risk was low I usually would not take it all, maybe just the transceiver.
@@ChasingSnow I admire your desire to master the bumps. When I see competition bump skiers boom, boom, booming their way down a fall line, my mechanical knees weep for that is what I consider excellent doing the bumps..
@@barrylongyear1933 I'd be happy with just a smooth consistent run down. I suspect my usual fast, stable and long skis are not particularly suited for bumps.
