An interesting alternative in Hintertux

Whilst skiing in Hintertux on Saturday we saw that some people had set up a timing device.  We didn’t think much about it as there are often groups race training, although the location was a little unusual.  Then we went up the T-Bar and saw who was being timed…  and that was quite unusual!
First, we saw a man in a speed suit.

He was going quite fast considering the snow conditions.
Next, we saw a bike, going very, very slowly…
 
 
 
After Googling it looks like the cyclist was this guy, although we couldn’t find out anything about what they were doing in Hintertux.  Hah!  While I was writing this Blog post this information appeared on his Facebook page.  It seems that they were filming for a British production called Super Heros.
