Julbo, manufacturer of goggles, glasses and helmets, invited us to legendary Zermatt to present the new "Cyclon - Pair of Kings" goggle with a photochromic lens that covers categories 0 to 4. Sam Anthamatten "King of Freeride" and Antti Ollila "King of Freestyle" co-developed them and I was allowed to test them for you. In the following, I talk in detail about my three-day trip, the goggles, their manufacturer and the two athletes behind them.

In this warm, dry winter, the VdW are more important than ever. We'll help you through the tough times with some wonderful videos and an interesting podcast. Enjoy the entertainment and keep your stoke high - the next PowderAlert is sure to come!

We are once again offering you the best mix of ski styles in various formats and languages for New Year's Eve and hope there is something for everyone! Laura Obermeyer makes a strong statement! And what is Hendrik Windstedt actually doing? Happy New Year!

North America was hit by incredibly cold temperatures over the holidays, while we in the German-speaking Alpine region experienced another very mild and green Christmas. We discuss the causes and effects, and also take a look at the outlook for the coming weeks. Can winter finally begin?

In the warm and gray December weather, we present the freeride world with a relatively colorful variety: 1 film of glossy Alaska Spines with a star cast, 1 portrait of a young up-and-coming freerider, 1 VLOG in bloom and 1 VLOG in full bloom, and finally 2 easy-going podcasts with two well-known action heroes and 1 Tech Talk. We wish you good entertainment!

Watch out! The season is already in full swing and before you know it, everything will be slush again! Just don't let the social media feeds tell you that you've already missed so much and stay calm and stoked! It's not too late yet! Let's go!

Finally, the start of the season for the ski media of the week! Many heroes, vloggers and collectives have already been busy publishing and spreading just as much anticipation as the first PowderAlert. A few podcasts and the Tyrolean freeski scene are also vying for your attention. Curtain up, clear the ring!

There are many national and many more private weather services, but there is only one PG weather service! Let us briefly explain or remind you what we offer you here: the most important meteorological data for freeriders, plus the weekly WeatherBlog and the PowderAlert for every dump.

Planet Earth keeps on spinning and the freeride scene and its filmmakers keep on making their films! And the protagonists, they also keep on turning and turning and turning! We are pleased to note that all kinds of new films have been created and that individualisation is progressing. Modern motifs are carefully handled by some productions and completely ignored by others, as in the more or less good old days.

The days are getting longer and longer, and the snow is getting creamier, slushier, stickier, heavier, slower... Summer is approaching! So let's dream again of social justice, long couloirs and deep storm days with old heroes! And we balance a few wintry highlines towards the end of the episode.

I've been searching for "La Liste: Everything or Nothing". After several live screenings, the opus magnum is now available for purchase in many ways. We highly recommend it! And because you always come across a lot of unexpected things when you're looking for something and then discover things you thought were long lost, there are all sorts of other things to accompany the main work!

A pearl is a solid, often round foreign body made of mother-of-pearl that grows in certain pearl-forming mussels, or more rarely snails. Powder is... hm... Snow, of considerable depth and little disturbed by external influences. Powder, you want to dive into it, glide through it and emerge again, and so on and so forth, for all eternity, Kaiserschmarrn. And powder pearls? They are moving bodies in mountains of powder.
