With the thaw of the last few days, the fantastic winter landscape in the Black Forest has unfortunately been washed away for the time being. For over a month, the conditions - apart from a brief warm period - were almost Canadian. At least the fir trees looked like deep snow-covered Sitka spruces in Canada the whole time. And the snow quality was most reminiscent of North America, but certainly not of the Black Forest - synonyms such as "Baden Columbia" or "Little Canada" were heard again and again.

Frederic Andes and the Valhalla team build high-quality skis by hand, which are manufactured entirely in Freiburg. The shapes are aimed at the freeride touring sector and are correspondingly light, with particular attention paid to a durable construction during production. I took a look at Valhalla and asked Freddi a few questions. I also took a ski with me to test, you can find my impressions after the interview.
