Mountainbike

Mud and sweat in black and white: this is as close as you can get to the heartbeat of the National Park Bike Marathon. It's not perfection that counts here, but determination. My camera was right in the middle of it all.

Winter is gradually releasing its grip — even for the most dedicated ski mountaineers — and the mountains are revealing their summer face. Green slopes, rugged ridgelines, and blooming alpine meadows are taking the place of winter's white splendor. But the magic of the mountains remains. PowderGuide is shifting its focus too: we’re about more than just powder and ski tours. This summer, we’re taking a conscious step toward exploring the mountains beyond snow — easing into familiar terrain now free of winter’s cover, and discovering what makes it special in a different light.

The PowderGuide weather service is saying goodbye for the season, the usual data on new snow, snow depths, sunshine, etc. will no longer be updated from now on. We'll continue next winter!

After a turbulent 2020, the Alp-Con Cinema Tour is back on the road in Germany and Austria as usual, bringing spectacular films with it. As in previous years, the tour will show various stories from a wide range of sports. The tour is divided into three different film blocks so that personal passion is not neglected: BIKE, MOUNTAIN and SNOW.

The Genius patiently endured my early days on single trails and in bike parks. My cluelessness and overconfidence couldn't bring it down, nor could air travel in cardboard boxes and trips in the back of campers. The mixture of very good downhill and respectable uphill performance - especially thanks to the lockable suspension - turned out to be the ideal mix for my bike preferences and, even after 8 years, gives me no reason to long for a new bike.

The Alp-Con Cinema Tour is back on the road in Austria and Germany, bringing spectacular films with it. In three different film blocks - BIKE, MOUNTAIN and SNOW - the tour shows a variety of stories from different sports.

Some people may look askance when you tell them that you have cycled through Kyrgyzstan, but the Central Asian country is now well known among adventure seekers. Most of Kyrgyzstan is crossed by the Tian Shan, a mountain range that stretches between Uzbekistan in the east and the Uyghur Autonomous Region of Xinjiang in northwest China. Johannes and Yannic spent 4 weeks cycling there and report on their trip.

It's spring and summer is sure to come. As beautiful as spring ski tours are, it's time to get ready for summer fun. With the Singeltrailer, you're no longer alone, but can show the next generation of powder skiers the best trails and what else you can do in the snow-free period.

Headlamps are now a dime a dozen - from small emergency lamps to powerful headlamps, the market offers all kinds of variations.
