    Great how a world class skier like Bell does it in 3 minutes. Took me 20 mins generally. It was the last run I did before I hung up my boots. That afternoon I went from very top of Le Fornet to valley, then to top of Solaise to valley then up Bellevarde and down La Face. What a glorious end to my 40 years of skiing, I'll never forget that last day!

    Don't be fooled by the camera - it doesn't really show how steep it is, especially at the top. And it's not always groomed. I was there last week, it was a full mogul run (and deep ones at that!). I spent way more than two minutes to get to the bottom!

    I used to work in Val d'Isere as a ski host. Used to love a first thing Face run on our day off. If we had any arrogant and cocky skiers in our group who thought they were the next Marcel Hirscher we would take them down the Face as the last run of the day, was a great cure for hubris haha.

    At 1min 18secs he says not a lot of people come down this run. I guess he doesn’t ski this run in the afternoon… It’s actually the most crowded black run in Tignes from about 3pm onwards. Basically the only run back into Tignes le Lac from the Val d’Isere direction. The “narrow” part near the gondola is often a traffic jam late afternoon. 😢

    Skied this years ago (in the 90s). Lack of fresh snow meant the narrow/"it rocky" part had moguls the size of Renault 5s. No opportunity to look cool as you pick your way down it.

    0:10 I lost my favourite hip flask off to the right of the start of this run back in 1998 - we were taking an off-piste route. If any one found it can you let me know. I still miss it.

    Skied this in 1990/91 just before the Albertville games, once it was known what all the courses were. True leg burner. The English & Welsh Universities Ski Council (EWUSC) would hold its championships around here - Tignes, Les Meniures, Les Arc - around then.

    The last time I did this was a few years ago. There was some carnage with plenty of equipment left at the top of the couloir with the owners near the bottom. I skied it with three skis under one arm and five poles under the other (two of them being mine).
