Let's go. Malte and Niko set off from Innsbruck towards the Caucasus. By what means? By public transport! The next few weeks will show whether this is possible and how much skiing will be done along the way. One thing is certain; the motivation is high. Over the last few weeks, the project has been eagerly anticipated.

Two projects from the East: Giray Dedali in Turkey and Trygg Lind in Iraq - two really beautiful films that show the local culture and visit the ski scene there. Nicholas Wolken, the gymnastics genius, in the spotlight. Skiing and jazz - how do they go together? Plus a solo trip: two days in the mountains as a splitboard ASMR. Stay safe out there and enjoy the powder.

Survived Christmas, said hello to the whole family in love and stress - or hid somewhere in the snow or on the beach? I'm using this space this week to draw attention to a website: the Freeski Museum. Eric Iberg has been working for years on creating a platform that brings together all ski films, all ski pro models, all podcasts, etc. It's finally online and still a long way from being finished - but wow, so cool. Thanks for that.

Max talks about defensive behavior in unknown mountains, his equipment and how he becomes a child again when skiing. And why a tent is over the top. But a sleeping bag never is.

After lengthy preparations, the SNOWMADS team led by Fabian Lentsch set off east from Tyrol in their converted fire engine at the beginning of the year. Neil Williman was with them on the first leg of the journey and reports on his experiences. What should you know if you want to ski in the Middle East and how did it actually go with the giant camper?

Alterna Films from Canada bring a solid snowboard flick to the market with "Hello World", the chapters about Bosnia Herzegovina and Turkey really stand out. Unfortunately, there is mainly snowboarding to be seen in the cities, including tricks on bombed-out facades in the Balkans.
