One man's sorrow is another man's joy, as the saying goes. This was also the case with the last PowderAlert, or rather the heavy snowfalls, which not only kept the avalanche warnings busy, but also the civil protection. The Davos department of the PowderGuide editorial team was evacuated due to the avalanche danger and had to leave their home. How do you feel when something like that happens? Steffen reports:

The SENDr came to me unexpectedly, but at exactly the right time. My old ski still works, but its best days are over and the ravages of the mountains have taken their toll on it. So I'm more than happy to have the opportunity to test this new gliding device.

An avalanche-compatible ski backpack that is designed to meet the needs of demanding ski mountaineers, is inspired by climbing sports and is also suitable for freeriding - is that possible?

It's finally that time again! It's been snowing all night, the base is already good anyway, the branches of the trees are laden to bursting point...

If you haven't done it yet, you should definitely do it: get the shovel from the construction site, the probe from the flower bed (if it was used as a climbing aid, as it was for me in summer) and the avalanche transceiver from the basket for a mushroom search. It's winter!

For those of us who would rather make their first turns in the snow yesterday than today, the ski pass is almost a must.

The Salomon website says that the XT ONE is the innovative successor to Salomon's tried and tested ski goggles. I took a look to see if this is really the case.

Who hasn't sat on a mountain top and dreamed of a delicious burger?

The Supernaut series (consisting of jacket and trousers) should meet the highest alpine demands, be extremely robust, well thought-out and durable. I have been able to test whether this is actually the case over the last thirty or so days of use.

At 3,147 m, the Flüela Schwarzhorn is the highest peak in the landscape around Davos, a classic in winter and summer and popular with young and old alike. The mountain got its name because the black pyramid on the summit is the most striking feature when viewed from Davos.

First of all, happy new year, I hope you all had a smooth start! In keeping with the theme, today we're looking at the topic of "sliding", or more precisely, the common Zipflbob.

Who doesn't know the situation...? Winter is here, but the snow isn't. In the following winter story, read about a people who are way ahead of their time, about the revival of Graski and other snow-reducing things.
