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.

No matter whether it's a ski boot, snowboard boot, hiking boot or whatever boot, if the boot is wet on the day of use, it will be unpleasant. For this reason, even the Neanderthals are said to have made sure that only the best and driest material was used for hunting boots soled with sequoia bark. I don't know whether this is actually the case, but my own experience shows that a dry boot in the morning is much more comfortable and sometimes also warmer.

The straps, which originally come from helicopter-based locomotion, are used for quick, safe and easy attachment of winter sports equipment and are a favorite of every freerider and other sportsperson.

While some people are still puzzling over where Kyrgyzstan actually is, PG author Steffen can't get enough of this country. Together with friends, a driver and tons of Kyrgyz schnapps, he set off on a special kind of ski trip.

Salomon has combined all the know-how of recent years and incorporated the experience from the MTN series and the Rocker² series into the new QST product line. You can read in the next few lines whether the concept lives up to its promise...

There is already a detailed product test for the pants on PowderGuide. In addition, after two years of continuous use, the pants have now made it to Gear of the Week.
