You could always pole back out the tunnel again if it looks anything like this one...

not my vid, but watch from about 4:20min you get an idea of how steep.

Am I alone in thinking that most of the people in that video should not have been on a slope like that. It didn't look like much skiing was going on. I'm suprised there was only one man down during those 5 or so minutes.

No you are not alone.... you know my opinion if it is not enjoyable what is the point of doing it ..... just to say that "I've done it" :evil:

Yep, looks like punishment. Worse than "6 of the best" :evil:

Love the hand movements :D

One I want tpo share from VT when I was there a couple of weeks ago.

I was on a gondala that goes over a nice blue run. At the end of the day the blue run (Plein Sud if anyone knows it) get chopped up and moguls as it is the main run down. There was a chap skiing down it, clearly very proficient but he was skiiing as if his ankles were tied together.

I thought to myself, "if he loses balance a bit he will be eating snow!"

He hit a bump...... BANG he fell over!! It was very very funny!!! He certainly stood up quickly!! :shock:
