The season is nearing spring, only slush in the Alps, but on the other side of the world in Canada, there were still a few days of snow for the Natural Selection Women’s Tour in Whitewater. There’s also some BTS footage from snowboard filming, and Todd Ligare is back with a double video part!

Immediately after the Freeride Junior World Championships, the Skiers Cup Big Mountain Competition was held on the same face. So it was certainly interesting for the young freeriders to compete indirectly with the invited freeski pros from Europe and America. Compared to some of the juniors, their performances were not all that different, understandably somewhat adapted to the conditions. Nevertheless, most of them made the best of the conditions - a show worth seeing. It was clear to see, especially in the first run, that the riders had been riding in good conditions in North America over the past few weeks and that almost none of them were tempted to perform bigger tricks or riskier lines in the spring conditions that currently prevail almost everywhere in Europe. At the end of the first day, it was Collomb-Patton's Team Europe that took the lead with 9:7 points, leaving Sage Cattabriga-Alosa's Americans behind.

On February 26, 2015, the Swiss ski resort of Zermatt hosted another edition of the Skiers Cup between teams from Europe and America under powder snow and blue skies. The 5th Skiers Cup offered good conditions for the freeski team competition between Europe and America. The European team managed to win back the Skiers Cup trophy in the form of a ski boot. The overall score is now 3:2 in favor of the Europeans.

After four successful competitions in Chile and Switzerland, the Skiers Cup returned to Zermatt in 2014. In the fifth edition of the intercontinental freeski duel, Team America is now led by Seth Morrison following the death of JP Auclair. The two teams are currently tied at 2:2. The fifth Swatch Skiers Cup will take place from February 21 to 27, 2015.

On November sixth, it's that time again: the 65th Warren Miller film is - this time - about the quintessence of skiing. This film is also a tribute to 65 years of our own mountain culture. It doesn't matter whether you're young or old. Because collectively, everyone is searching for the basic idea behind their sport.

Is the K2 Annex 118 Pro Model: a "one ski fits all?". For me, the ski is a successful all-round talent: with a balanced balance of torsional stiffness and forgiving character.

Team Americas was declared the winner of the 2014 Swatch Skiers Cup. JP Auclair's crew was leading 9:7 after the backcountry slopestyle. The decision was to be made at the Big Mountain on 09.01.2014, but after strong winds and high temperatures worsened the conditions, the competition unfortunately had to be canceled. The result of the first day was taken as the final result.

Warning – all of the situations depicted in this film are potentially dangerous! After taking note of this warning at the beginning of the film, Light the Wick kicks off with a few violent ski scenes showing perverse steep wall descents and nasty falls, soberly commented on by the protagonists. No bullshit, there's something to this warning...

Every year, Teton Gravity Research (TGR) sends us top-class freeride films. Re:Session also fits seamlessly into this exclusive collection. Deep powder, high cliffs and steep Alaska lines at their finest.

This movie is not a freeride movie, but a documentary about freeriding and its development. Extreme skiing is like the Olympic Games: There is an old time; "Der weisse Rausch" by Arnold Fank proves this wonderfully.
