VDBS Event | Alpine Hazards Beyond Avalanches
Minus 16 degrees, strong winds, and virtually zero visibility: the meeting with the Association of German Mountain and Ski Guides (VDBS) on the Stubai Glacier takes place in harsh winter conditions. The focus is on the dangers winter sports enthusiasts face beyond avalanches, including cold, cardiovascular problems, falls, and disorientation. A look at the latest accident statistics from the Ă–KAS reveals just how easily these risks can be underestimated.

Bolivia Trip Report | Adventure Ski Tours on 6,000-meter Peaks
With a slope of about 55 to 60 degrees, over 6,000 meters high, and not a single report of an ascent, let alone a descent: We’re spending nearly four weeks in Bolivia on our snowboards and skis because of the southeast face of Ancohuma in the Cordillera Real. I discovered the face by chance on a 3D map. We want to find out on-site whether it’s actually skiable. A travelogue about splitboard tours and potential first descents on remote 6,000-meter peaks in the Cordillera Real (Ancohuma and Chearoco).

Gear Review | STRANDA Biru Splitboard
Short, wide, directional: The Stranda Biru is a volume shifter through and through. It’s a concept I’ve been rather skeptical of until now. Long and narrow was the motto. Read on to find out if this little devil managed to change my mind after a winter in the Black Forest and the Alps.

Videos of the Week #3 2026/27 | Clouds
Clouds, clouds, Nicholas clouds! Powder runs that’ll make your knees go weak. A journey in search of that elusive flow state in the mountains, finding your own rhythm, and embracing a lifestyle built entirely around skiing. Could this be Paddy Graham’s last ski film? And if you’ve ever wondered why Chile should be on every skier’s bucket list, this film makes a pretty convincing case. But my personal favourite of the week is still the “Mindbender Live Score”: a custom music jam paired with some seriously stylish tricks.
