Lake Tahoe

The Eastern Sierra is the part of the California Sierra Nevada that lies east of the north-south divide. If someone in California tells you that they are going to spend a few days touring in the Eastern Sierra, it's a bit like someone here in Switzerland saying that they are going to spend a few days in the Valais or the Bernese Oberland. You don't have to specify what exactly is planned, the name alone evokes associations of big mountains, long tours and rewarding efforts.

Skis, snowboards and clothing, far removed from the motto "Shrink it and pink it": Coalition Snow is shaking up the ski industry and producing skis - by female skiers for female skiers.

If you like fluffy deep snow runs from white sugared peaks just as much as park action, garnished with a few rails, you will also like the new film from Standart Films. The images are filmed in HD quality and are at least as varied as the accompanying music.
