I'm a Bavarian who emigrated to Trieste and work for Powderguide as a meteorologist, developer of the PG-ICON weather and ski video specialist. Val Saisera is my favourite place for ski tours. I like to bake bread, apple strudel and Tortel-Frico.

Videos of the Week #21 2020/21| I, IE & Y
Sebastian Müller • 04/09/20213 Powderpeople who end in i, ie and y? We dedicate this issue to three influential figures in our freeride culture: Eric Hjorleifson, aka HojI, JeremIE Heitz and CodY Townsend. The last two are certainly also interesting interview candidates. Hm? -

Videos of the Week #20 2020/21 | Vimeo Revolution
Sebastian Müller • 04/02/2021Vimeo is given far too little attention here. The artistic quality of the publications is generally higher there. This may also be due to the fact that they attract less attention and therefore generate less advertising revenue. True video artists seem to enjoy the freedom from commerce and there are plenty of small and large gems to be found! The VdW then reflect on their YouTube consumption and dependency. -

Videos of the Week #19 2020/21 | Le grand finale
Sebastian Müller • 03/26/2021Without anticipating the ContestHappening too much, the Verbier Xtreme must be briefly mentioned here. It is the annual highlight of our scene, and its date at the end of March also marks the peak of climatological snow depths. The search for powder is becoming increasingly difficult. But as you can see in the latest conditions reports, it's still well worth it! -

Videos of the Week #18 2020/21 | Alpine Policy
Sebastian Müller • 03/19/2021The omniscient algorithm also keeps offering me Jan Böhmermann. In his latest piece of satirical investigative journalism, he exposes the ignorance and corruption of the Tyrolean cable car industry, elegantly drawing analogies of failure in the event of a disaster, from the gondola fire in Kaprun to the Corona Cluster (I & II) in Ischgl. -

Videos of the Week #17 2020/21 - Chamonix Special
Sebastian Müller • 03/12/2021CHAMONIX: Mecca, place of longing and birthplace: of alpinism, steep face skiing and many other types of mountain sports. Following on from the article about a new first ascent, today we are looking at films about the ski culture from Chamonix, which is sometimes fraught with high consequences, always enchanted with great panoramic aesthetics and sometimes refined with fun and joy. -

Videos of the Week #16 2020/21 | Reloads, home runs and tributes
Sebastian Müller • 03/05/2021As far as I know, we haven't had any fatal accidents involving professional freeriders since last year's tribute edition. That's nice, but it doesn't matter, because unfortunately people without celebrity status also die in the mountains, without a fan community to mourn them. Nevertheless, we remember Andreas and JP once again. There's also a re-make of Mount Ushba and Jeremie's diaries. We are longing for a comeback of winter with lots of snow and new movie material. -

Videos of the Week #15 2020/21 | Collection of ContestHappenings
Sebastian Müller • 02/26/2021Where at best only firn or steep gullies promise joyful activities in the given weather conditions, the VdW also go there on dry, wet or soaked terrain. We show Nikolai Schirmer and Xavier de le Rue, but otherwise I offer a selection of lengthy replays and more entertaining best-ofs from great contests. Unfortunately, in my opinion, they strive for a little too much HYPE/STOKE/SYKE. But let everyone find what they like! -

Videos of the Week #14 2020/21 | Black Forest Special
Sebastian Müller • 02/19/2021The Black Forest has turned completely white with snow this winter. And so all the inhabitants took to their hilly homes and completely forgot where they were because of all the powder and pillows, and the pandemic was only half as wild. Great cinema from a small low mountain range! -

Videos of the Week #13 | Alpine Club Review 2020/21
Sebastian Müller • 02/12/2021Welcome to this year's review of the channels of our Alpine clubs! More online seminars are hardly what we need, but I would like to establish this sub-category. Of course, all channels have gained subscribers, but the balance of power has hardly shifted. In my opinion, the ÖAV stands out with its educational and humorous videos about safety on the mountain. Just like back then, we are growing from small to big. Language courses included! -

Videos of the Week #11 2020/21 | New old heroes
Sebastian Müller • 01/28/2021The characters in ski films are as diverse as skiing itself: always the same and yet always different. This may mean that a protagonist can always ski and usually does so on snow, only the how, where and why differ. So in this episode we meet old and new heroes who live and film this eternally beautiful skiing in their own way. -

Videos of the Week #10 2020/21 | Be more like Xavier!
Sebastian Müller • 01/22/2021No video can replace practical, real-life courses. But Xavier and all sorts of other institutions invite us to expand and refresh our knowledge. There's a bit of contest content to go with it!
