Frozen or not frozen? A ski'n'surf trip to Africa
Totti Lingott • 05/14/2014Surfing in Africa - we've known this at least since the first part of the cult film 'Endless Summer', in which Robert August and Mike Hynson travel the world in search of the best waves as prototypes of the modern surftraveler. Since then, there have been plenty of reasons in the relevant circles for a trip to the west coast of Africa. But why not combine it with a descent on frozen water and use the time without waves to skin up a four-thousand-meter peak? Nothing unusual in itself, as the High Atlas has plenty of high mountains. We set off on a journey to a country with plenty of sun, desert, heat, foreign culture, exotic food and unfamiliar scents - and almost 3500 km of coastline and a high mountain range. -

Gear reviews | Whitedot Ranger CarbonLite
Totti Lingott • 03/17/2014Whitedot is one of the ski manufacturers that emerged from a conviction that the existing material could be improved. A few enthusiastic friends of skiing got together and developed the first prototypes. That was several years ago, but the brand is still relatively unknown in German-speaking countries. Without good reason, in my opinion, as the ski manufacturers from the 'white dot' now know how to impress with their appealing design and innovative ski shapes. This time in the practical test of the Ranger Whitedot CarbonLite. -

New avalanche airbag systems from Scott and Black Diamond
Totti Lingott • 01/15/2014The avalanche airbag market is booming like no other sector in winter sports. Almost every renowned manufacturer of winter sports equipment now offers an avalanche backpack. The established systems from last winter from Mammut/Snowpulse, ABS and BCA will be joined by two new systems from Black Diamond and Scott from fall 2014. Both seek to offer innovative solutions to the well-known problem of transporting cartridges during air travel. Black Diamond's system in particular is arousing great interest with its innovative turbine technology. Scott is setting the bar pretty high, especially in terms of weight and price. -

April powder down to the fjord | Norway Part I
Totti Lingott • 04/25/2013Norway has long ceased to be an insider tip - at least for spring ski tours. Central Europeans have been traveling to the north for years. These trips are usually so late in the winter that the first flowers are already blooming in the Alps. If you venture north a little earlier, you can still fully enjoy the freeride potential of the mountains there.
