Private Ski Instructor Martin Hemsley based in M\u00e9ribel has been ski touring around some of our favourite pistes and sharing his efforts in his blog at: www.mh2ski.co.uk\/ski-blog<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week he made his way up to Col de la Loze and skied fresh untouched powder on Dou des Lanches just above La Tania…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of March, Martin was one of the first to ski the new World Cup Piste named L’Eclipse<\/em> after it was prepared for inspection by the various racing committees. Next Winter will see international events prior to the Alpine World Cup Finals in February 2023 with the Men’s Downhill, Super G, GS and Slalom events held on L’Eclipse. The women’s events are held on the Roc de Fer<\/em> piste in M\u00e9ribel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set to be one of the most challenging, fastest and steepest race pistes in the World with no respite for racers in any “gliding” areas – this will be full on, flat out lunacy… A detailed view by Martin of the new piste made up of the top section of the Bouc Blanc<\/em> (with an S shaped curve) and the old, black Jockeys<\/em> piste (regraded, widened and straightened) is available in his blog here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
