Happy videos of the week #4 2023/24 | Kye droppin!

buone feste!

by Sebastian Müller 12/29/2023
Let's pause and just consciously block out everything that's going wrong in this world and how difficult it is to forecast the weather numerically. Kye droppin! Kye Petersen's life is full of tragedy, but his skiing is full of glamour. What's more, Michael Larcher comes back to earth every year to remind us of all avalanche-related things!

The Edge of Never

An excursion into the history of freeriding, the times of Glenn Plake in Chamonix and the growing up of the young Kye Petersen. Great story, sometimes questionable approach... but certainly worth seeing.

The Sacred Grounds - Part IV: Descension

More Kye Petersen! Absolutely worth listening to, with Kikagaku Moyo on the soundtrack!

Ski tour: Schafkopf 2454m/1400m - Zillertal, Stummerberg

The description in the Panico Guide Kitzbühl Mountains reads something like this: You have to make an effort to get to the often untracked 1000 metre north-facing slopes of the Schafkopf. The description was correct. The first 5 kilometres of forest road had been cleared and were therefore barely passable. From then on, there were no more tracks, apart from the summit structure.

Speed Expeditions | Full Movie | DYNAFIT

On the Nepalese border nestled between the two eight-thousanders, Annapurna and Manaslu, lies the next goal of DYNAFIT CEO and speed mountaineer Beni Böhm: Himlung Himal - a remote and technical peak in the heart of the Himalayas. He intends to climb the 7126-metre peak in a speed expedition together with the Nepalese mountain guide and DYNAFIT athlete Prakash Sherpa - to once again set a new benchmark when it comes to speed mountaineering! In addition to the mental and physical challenges of the expedition, it is above all serving a good cause: This region with its unique alpine landscape is particularly dear to Beni, who is a WWF ambassador for the Himalaya region.

DRAGO - An adventurous snowboard film

We present you DRAGO - a snowboard and visual short film featuring Moritz Amsuess, Flo Corzelius and Simon Pircher. This video was captured by Sebi Madlener during a two week trip to Ljubljana (Slovenia) and Klagenfurt (Austria). Both Ljubljana and Klagenfurt have dragons as their landmarks so the project was named DRAGO. The graphics and animations were done by Moritz Amsuess and Sebi Madlener took care of the editing. "When starting to think about this project in September 2022 I knew that I wanted to focus on riding spots that are not just gnarly but also photogenic and preferably rough and urban looking so that both the riding and the scenery are enjoyable to watch. From the beginning, I had the idea to create animations that are based on visual elements taken from the locations and spots. In my mind it would make the locations even more interesting and could add up to a sick composition when putting the footage together with the motion graphics." - Moritz Amsuess
