Similar to the last Bundesliga alarm, Ullr continues undeterred and brings us powder in painter mode. Because there are no isolated, brilliant mega-dumps from an eccentric artist god, but honest work, precisely for fans of the middle part of the Bundesliga who value consistency and regularity. And just as the skilled worker brings home a reliable pay packet every week, Ullr brings us our weekly refresh.

She actually knew where the dangers lurked that day. Why didn't it stop her from climbing? A story about failure and the courage to talk about mistakes.

It is early winter 2017 and the Eastern Alps are once again experiencing a pronounced old snow problem in some areas. You can't put enough energy into preventing old snow problems, as avalanche accidents show. So we are taking prophylactic measures.

While I was sitting on the plane, Ullr thought to himself: "Oh, skiing with a base like this is nicer, I'll send a load right after. And to make sure I surprise everyone, I'll put more pressure on the models.

Avalanche dogs save lives thanks to their good nose: despite modern technology, they are still irreplaceable. Like other mountain rescue services, the Tyrolean Mountain Rescue Service trains the sniffer dogs. PG was on site and was amazed at how deeply the four-legged friends can sniff out scents.

Thanks to a combination of lift and bus connections, the tour to the Gamskogel from the Axamer Lizum allows you to collect plenty of downhill meters without having to exert yourself too much on the ascent. In addition, the tour offers many options that can be combined as the mood takes you and, thanks to the shady orientation of the slopes, good snow can often still be found a few days after the last snowfall.

At the third stop of the Freeride World Tour in Fieberbrunn, Austria, the tickets for the stop in Alaska will be awarded from 08:15 on 09.03.2016. After a snowy phase in the last few days, the weather forecast now predicts the best conditions for the planned contest day.
