Story of your Season New skis for old memories

Spring is here and the only place in Switzerland where you can still ride a great park is Crans Montana. We recently spent a few days in the freestyle capital of Valais, where we had the chance to catch up with two of contemporary skiing’s best. What can you say about Kelly Sildaru and Tess […]

From the outside, I think that most people saw The Nines last year in the same light as years past. A futuristic design, an all-star cast and an insane level of riding. Switzerland has had some of the easiest Covid policies and Crans Montana is one of the few resorts fully invested in freestyle, so […]

The societal challenges of the 21st century are so numerous: climate change, social justice, migration and so on. Riders for Refugees (RFR) came up with a solution for two problems: saving unsold clothes from outdoor brands and offering them to the most needy. In this way, we avoid waste and we show solidarity — a […]

Our friends at Salomon just announced their partnership with Nicolas Hojac, an alpinist best known for his hardcore adventures and speed records. We took the opportunity to ask him some questions and found his perspective quite interesting. He’s definitely the first skier we’ve ever interviewed who clearly enjoys the ascent more than the decent. Read […]

You probably know Yan Rausis as the Swiss veteran of the Freeride World Tour. With a precise and effortless flow, he’s impressed us with his riding over the past five years. His rhythm and fluidity inspire his vision of skiing. And what better way to share a vision than a film? «FROM SOURCE» is one […]

After a big break from scaffolding skiing in Switzerland, Big Air Chur came back with a bang. Over 13,000 fans showed up for one hell of a show. Big congrats to Tess Ledeux and Matej Svance for taking the first wins of the competition season. Our photographers were on the scene filling up memory cards […]

This season has been particularly scary when it comes to avalanche safety. It’s a topic that just can’t be talked about enough in our community. That’s why we found “Solving for Z” so interesting. It’s the personal story of an experienced guide’s exploration of the risks and rewards of a life built around the mountains. […]

A few years back we organized a trip to go cat skiing in Georgia. Since then, Ingo Schlutius’s Powder Project has grown, and is looking better than ever. We thought we’d check back in with him to see what skiing in the Caucuses looks like in 2021.  Hey Ingo, can you please introduce yourself for […]
