Gear of the Week | DIY-Skishop
The first turns of the season have been made, but to be honest: There was still room for improvement. Classic: Over the summer, I completely forgot about the service and realized on the slopes that the slats were slowing down rather than gliding. So it was back to square one! With a few pallets, friends and hot wax, we now make the boards really smooth again. The next adventure can come - but this time with speed!

Videos of the Week #8 2025/26 | Fickle Business
This week has it all. The two Kiwi-Bens present a cinematic masterpiece that they shot in their home country. Sage Kotsenberg delivers one of the coolest intros ever, whose animated style evokes nostalgic memories of old games. There's also one of the best SLVSH games in a long time - this time as an all-mountain version instead of in the park. And finally, Bucket Clips enters its fourth round: Rosina's passion project, which brings together women and FLINTA people in the freeski scene.

Since 2018, CCAMM has been investigating how climate change affects gravitational natural hazards in the Alps: from snow and avalanches, debris flows and rock movements to cascading processes, protective forests and social impacts.

WeatherBlog 6 2025/26 | Ommm... ega
Various WeatherBlogs, regulars' table discussions and powder oracles have already hinted at it and we confirm: the winter weather is over for now. The infamous Omega weather pattern is currently establishing itself over Central Europe and it is already getting noticeably warmer. Whether there will be a summery Christmas, how much rain could fall and what this has to do with the polar vortex is discussed below. For the Omega weather situation, we recommend that nervous freeriders take a meditative "Ommm", inhale deeply through the nose and exhale with the belly. We hope this will help regulate stress levels for the time being.
