Philippe Billy is the current champion of speed skiing. The Savoy resort of Vars has the fasted K.L. piste in the world. Philippe Billy takes us through the secrets of this speciality that young people also enjoy. In recent years a speed skiing competition has been held at Vars for children who set off down the slope without any sign of fear. The specialists of a new discipline, «bike speed», also compete on the piste at Vars. Using a special mountain bike with spiked tyres, they head down the snow-covered piste reaching a speed of almost 200 km per hour.
