Expedition Meteorology | Denali, May 2026
In spring of 2026 PowderGuide partnered up with endurance athlete Tobias Renggli, who, together with our friend and mountain goat Heli Hoffmann and polar guide Laetitia Lam, intended to scale, as the first of many mountains in America, Denali (6190 m.a.s.l.) in Alaska, the tallest of the USA, by bike, ski and foot. This is the story about how I became their expedition's meteorologist and how they summited despite non-ideal weather conditions.

PowderGuide goes into summer
The blossoming of nature, birdsong and noticeably longer days already give it away: the cold months are coming to an end in our climes. Green slopes, rocky ridges and blooming alpine pastures are now replacing the white winter splendor - but the fascination for the mountains remains exactly the same. For us snow enthusiasts, this means that we can either head off into the alpine touring season or say goodbye to the snow for the time being and look ahead to other adventures. For now, of course, because after the season is before the season!

Whether as a promotional gift from the last Movienight or a classy item from a specialist store; whether in bright orange or with modern patterns; made of polyester, cotton or merino wool: everyone who does any kind of outdoor sport knows buffs or collects countless ones in their drawer, of which they only use their favorite ones. But the possible uses go far beyond the classic neck warmer.

The PowderGuide team meets up every year at the end of the season to celebrate a successful time together, catch up with old friends and make new acquaintances. This time, the highlight took place from April 16th to 19th, 2025 in the beautiful Engadine. It was a weekend full of contrasts: the spring-like vibes were reflected in the varied program. From alpine tours, climbing and ice swimming to table tennis rounds and cooking evenings, everything was included. THANK YOU to everyone who was there, took part and organized, we are already looking forward to next year!

Gear reviews | Ortovox Ravine Plus 3L Jacket & Pants
With the Ravine Plus 3L jacket and the matching Ravine Plus 3L trousers, Ortovox is launching a freeride hardshell combination on the market that combines robust weather protection with a high level of comfort. What makes this product so special is the material mix. It is a 3-layer hardshell construction with merino inserts in certain body zones. These are intended to ensure greater comfort and a pleasant body climate. The idea is clear: a ski outfit for cold days outdoors that is also good in the ski resort or on tours. The test shows how the jacket and trousers perform in practice.
