Videos of the Week 15-2016: The Maker

Why don't you do it!

by Marius Schwager 02/25/2016
Do it! Yes, we would love to do it if there was snow. But there isn't. It's now the end of February and it's starting to feel like mid-November. Come on, let's have toast instead of powder.

Make it! Yes, we would love to do it if there was snow. But there isn't. It's now the end of February and the snow would almost feel like mid-November. Come on, let's have toast instead of powder.

The Maker

Finally someone who just does it and doesn't make a fuss about it. Totally likeable!

Finally a movie with a pleasant narrative voice and music!

Pep's IDEA

Old man, still pretty fresh. Doesn't jump around as much as he does in this video, though, preferring to abseil down steep Chamonix couloirs. A classic résumé, until you crash in one way or another. Sounds silly, but it's true.

Run Sam Anthamatten - BC Slopestyle Round 2 - Mora Banc Skiers Cup Grandvalira 2016

Middle-aged man who does things the other way round: first a mountaineer, now a freestyler as he gets older. Probably does yoga for his back or has a good physiotherapist.

Sämi Ortlieb Season 2015

We go from old to young: the new generation of freestylers. This video has been shown to me an estimated dozen trillion times on my social media timeline over the past week. Right uh, well. The snowboarders somehow do it better and their sport isn't really hip anymore. Mr. Ortlieb will soon be riding steep faces in Chamonix or making waterproof bike bags. #smileyface

Atlas, The Next Generation

Since you usually only see stupid GoPro videos of skiers who can't ski, it seems Google has to fix it. Another 1-2 generations and the Atlas will stomp every 50m huck cleanly. And afterwards it won't ask you whether the camera was on, but whether it can make you another coffee. Great new world of technology! Pro freerider? This job description will probably soon be made by Google too.
