With the Session Knit gloves by Black Diamond, you won't get cold fingers on your powder runs any time soon!

If you like to drive your car topless, sorry, open-top in summer and attract envious glances, you shouldn't miss out on getting into this convertible.

The Julbo Aerospace is a ski goggle with an integrated ventilation system that has never been available on the market in this form before. A simple handle allows the double-glazed lens to be extended from the frame by approx. 1 cm. This means that the goggles/lens are well ventilated, e.g. on strenuous climbs.

The Mammut Light Short Removable Airbag 3.0 backpack is the ideal companion for ski touring and freeriding. There is more than enough storage space for one-day ski tours and it is also suitable for multi-day ski tours. For a quick run, the backpack can be compressed using the side straps and is easy on the back muscles thanks to its very low weight. So there's no excuse to leave your avalanche backpack at home!

The G3 GEAR Via Carbon telescopic ski poles have proven to be loyal companions on several ski tours this season.

The Evolution.XZX is not a classic 3-finger glove in which the middle, ring and little fingers form a single unit. In this model, these three fingers are individually insulated by the inner material, as in a conventional 5-finger glove.

A short conversation at the start of the tour with German skiers Bene and Felix.

The Freeride World Tour season opener should have actually taken place last weekend, January 28-29, 2017, in Chamonix. However, due to the poor snow conditions (see picture of the competition slope), the organizers decided to postpone the start of the season until Wednesday (2 February).

"The Igniter Helmet from Sweet Protection makes no compromises in terms of safety or comfort". With such a product description, the expectations of a ski helmet are naturally extremely high.

The third tour stop of the Freeride World Tour in Saalbach-Hinterglemm/Leogang/Fieberbrunn is just around the corner. The riders will once again be battling for the judges' points to make the cut for the FWT stop in Alaska. To provide you with a little more background information, Benjamin Eggert spoke to Head Judge Berti Denervaud at the FWT stop in Andorra about safety issues and judging.

This ski tour is located in the north-west of Andorra, Pyrenees and is a classic among local ski tourers, as the summit is one of the highest in the region. The summit should only be attempted in safe conditions. Safe hairpin bends are a must, and crampons are recommended in icy conditions.
