Valentin Delluc speedriding at the Bossons Glacier

Valentin Delluc gives Slalom a new definition at the Bossons Glacier

For Valentin Delluc, it's almost become his daily routine to produce absolutely breathtaking images of speedriding – the discipline that combines paragliding and freeride skiing.

This is exactly what's interesting for Delluc and his flight companion, Ugo Gerola: it allows them to find new lines and offers new images every time they go for a flight.
The two men know each other perfectly, which is a definite prerequisite for flying so close to each other. They also have Senna radio communication systems (radios built for extreme sports) that allow them to stay connected and communicate together at any moment. You can even hear Ugo yell “Parfait!” (perfect!) in the above video.
So, glacier slalom anyone?
