[Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] the girl is pretty legendary it's kind of crazy to think that a lift can bring you up into this like extreme skiing terrain and that's kind of built this culture of these people that live here and ski in these mountains and it's kind of all built around this passion of getting out every day no matter what the conditions and ski and big lines [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] The Grove is a place that it has many different characters from many different countries that are all joined together by a common love mountains and the unique character of the graph makes it an attraction for like-minded people who who fit into the communal spirit of the place yeah it's good so we arrived two weeks ago in lagravis it was a beginning of March for a ski trip together if Johnny Collinson this place is pretty crazy the mountains are huge for a ski resort wow it's really hard to describe this place without experiencing it for yourself everyone has their own opinion of what lagravis but for me it represents freedom and a lifetime and humility Pomona garvik's and his pastor DBAs and uncle Pat's come over come over no poo Casa Patt a junkie nudist philosophy better switch to the memo khaleesi second toe done design for Monsieur Tara you know sweetie Toki ki toh pong charge of it see the gentleman who to TP our cadre onto the twisty affair lesibian state suta proper responsibility commissary most humanity cemeteries he can break in theistic - one dropping every good boy [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] there is definitely a special aura around this place it's like how the village and the cable-car are built on the bottom of this North Face which has like only one easy way to ski down and all the other ski descents are pretty much non beginner friendly [Music] [Music] to enjoy the terrain in the graph you need to have a knowledge about the whole mountaineering stuff to rappel down gullies that are ending up on huge cliffs or just to travel on glaciers and that's why legrasse is quite special you either have your knowledge or you're better having your guides with you [Music] the game of patience that's kind of what's changed here people people don't wait anymore if you wake up and it's Bluebird and it's sunny and it's new snow people are going it's like off to the races that's the biggest change I've seen in in my time here village is the same and we love it the way it is the pecans Manzanilla lavish vacations it was nice to define me ofits a foodie and I plead you to remember on a cephalopod my event occurs when his generosity no one so she's home with other people with our - irrelevant a particular minority material when you pre-performance keep your apprecia hider block aroma for peace Pasiphae face a transformed system savory a pea soup anaemia Namibia Shikibu cos here this is advantageous isn't convenient a pretty special line we skied was the Iraq paradise with Benji it was the third descent of it and I think a lot of the guys around here looked at the line for years and it takes a while to get into it and then it's a pretty exposed exit underneath all the stacks Benji here at the brush do not rise joatu I know let's do a talk this bandage so mute liquidity yep go down here we're gonna get John it [Music] [Applause] other good bless tell em ish there's a couple friends here havin fun got the skis back on going nap Sam's breaking trail again now it's only getting technical everything's holding now later yeah the special thing about this line is that you really like rattling almost two times 50 meters down to this exposed chute which is quite steep at 55 degrees descent which is ending lower down on the plateau from where you really have to ski down fast because it's exposed to the sea rocks that's why the name Sarek paradise was given to it and for us it was really a good good run to to share with Benji hold seeds tight max what else do we have here fun [Music] [Music] [Music] my legs make there then like thanks Benji Thank You sellers [Music] [Music] the biggest appeal is that just the sheer amount of vertical you get the ski and the skiing brought me here but the community actually kept me here the friends and people I've made in this it's a pretty tight-knit village it's a it's a it's a small little family that kind of kept me here but when you can ski that much vertical that fast with that kind of access with minimal crowds it's kind of hard to go anywhere else the freedom the freedom of allograph the fact that there are no ropes saying don't go here there are no people patrolling the paste saying you can't do this you can't do that that freedom is pretty unique in most alpine areas so that that freedom is an incredible privilege I hope we'll never go away you

...the cable car are built on the bottom of this north face which has like only one easy way to ski down and all the other ski descents are pretty much non beginner friendly

proceeds to rappel down into a couloir

One of the most amazing places I’ve ski’d

[u/exdigguser147]

Epic reel, thanks for sharing!

[u/Dalradian]

Pretty sick! I thought I had heard of many/ most of the undiscovered spots even if only briefly, but I guess not. Was going to ask for a trip report, but I think it's better left unsaid.....sweet stuff!!

Only shame is that I only have one upvote to give you for all that stoke

Such flawless filming.

[u/NeroCoaching]

Stunning. La Grave is top of the dream skiing places list. Long way to go before I'm good enough to ski it though...

[u/Digitalapathy]
