Watch: Speed Flying on Skis Through an Abandoned French Resort Is a Crazy Kind of Shredding

Valentin Delluc shreds Avoriaz, an abandoned resort between Geneva and Chamonix with skis and a speedwing.

Valentin Delluc likes to push it pretty hard. There’s no doubt. First, he’s a really good skier. Second, he’s a master with the wing, a smaller, more maneuverable aerial tool than the paraglide. In a Candide Thovex-esque cut, he’s captured on film ripping through the deserted alpine resort Avoriaz, between Geneva and Chamonix. Check out the rail slide on the old ski lift cables. Speedflying is done at super high speeds with super big consequences. Delluc looks very, very comfortable.
