00:02 Now we have to go back up there and check on the starting gates, prepare everything
00:18 so it's not really a good weather for it but that's how it is
00:25 Oh yeah yesterday we spent nearly two hours doing the boot pack and with the wind and the new snow
00:30 overnight everything has to be done again but that way the riders will have a safe
00:36 and good boot pack to climb up the Bec to Mort
00:39 So here's the most difficult part of the climb, we put a fixed rope
00:50 because it's a lot of snow, I have bolts but under the snow so we have to do special things

01:29 So on top of the Bec, on the storm, it's very important to stay in contact with the snow
