THE RACE
The rules are simple, the start of the race is given from the Lauze Dome (3,550m) through waves of ten skiers per minute. The finish line is located at Chal Vachere, at the altitude of 1,840 meters. The point is to be the fastest to ride down this distance.
There are no gates, nor an established route to follow; only a few crossing points that are mandatory and others that are forbidden for safety reasons.
• One of its particularities is, without doubt, its long tradition to dress up for the occassion and/or participating as a team of 3 .
• The second particularity is that you have the opportunity to do it with anything that slides as long as it has breaks or a way to control speed, such as skis, monoski, snowboard but also snow-scoot, skwal, airboard, snowskate, ski chair and many more…FORM YOUR TEAM
Skiers can register as a team!
Nonetheless, to register you would need to be 3 participants with at least a woman in the group. Moreover, you will need to have three different contraptions to slide down to the finish line.
A team can be either composed with 2 men / 1 woman or 1 man / 2 women or 3 women.
