Between Fall and Longing for Winter

Switzerland Saas-Fee

Hannes Hemper
Every day, the powder gets closer, the days get shorter, and this season’s video projects start rolling in. Salut, welcome, ciao! “Videos of the Week” is back to make your dreams come true. From the best moments at the Slush Games to Markus Eder back in the park and an exclusive sneak peek at the new Legs of Steel film. Voilà — let the stoke begin!

Video 1: Dusting Off the Playbook in Saas-Fee | Red Bull Performance Camp by Markus Eder

Markus kicks off the season in Saas-Fee, but before getting back to his usual park training, he starts things off by summiting the Allalinhorn. And this freeride legend, now in his mid-thirties, is clearly shaking off the summer rust and putting his park skis back to work! Can’t wait to see more of him in action in the new Legs of Steel film this season.

Riders: Markus Eder and friends

Video 2: SVALBARD 79°N - Ski & Sail 2026 by Roman Merle

The third adventure aboard the Ocean Sherpa, now in the heart of the Svalbard Archipelago. A journey into the in-between world of mountains and sea. Roman shows us stunning nature shots, daily life on the boat, and new ski runs every day, as well as new anchorages for the boat. Watch out—polar bears everywhere! What an exciting journey. While sailing north is surely something many readers have thought about, here’s someone actually living it.

Riders: Roman Merle and friends

Video 3: Stranger Things | Mike Hornbeck | NS Originals S5E01

New Schoolers Originals is back! And none other than Mike Hornbeck, an Armada veteran, kicks off the fifth season! His butters and presses are legendary, and now that he’s a dad, he’s still dancing through the park. Originals is a series that harkens back to the era of 2–3-minute park tapes and serves up some of the ski scene’s best highlights for us viewers.

Rider: Mike Hornbeck

Video 4: NUB TV EPISODE 3: NUBZ ON TOP by Armada Skis

Remember last season’s FWT? Nubz Ben Richards and Toby Rafford were among the riders making waves. Now they’re back with their third episode, serving up a super-cool, old-school MTV-style show. A little cocky, a lot of character — exactly the kind of personalities the skiing world needs more of!

Riders: Toby Rafford, Ben Richards, and friends

Video 5: Polneve - A 72-Hour Italian Snowboard Adventure

Innsbruck-based duo Maxi and Yanneck bring their style to the Italian Alps in this beautifully crafted short film. The soundtrack really hits the spot for me, and the whole thing feels like a little work of art, with stunning cinematography and slick editing. A real treat!

Riders: Yanneck Konda and Maxi Priessinger

Video 6: Kuura Koivisto - Voilà

Kuura is part of the Finnish crew Forre, which has been pushing the boundaries of street skiing and ski filmmaking. If the X Games bring back Real Ski, he’d be one of my top picks. His bag of tricks is so unique that you’ll have to watch each clip at least three times just to figure out what he’s actually doing in the air. Absolutely wild!

Rider: Kuura Koivisto

Video 7: Dakine | Laurent De Martin — Deep Days in Japan, 16mm

LDM has been producing the coolest ski films for years; his vision is unique, and here, featuring Tyall Wells, is a sneak peek at his new project, “Reverie,” for this season. Snow samurai!

Rider: Laurent de Martin

Video 8: Cheers to the Old 2-Seater - Alpental, WA

Alpental, tucked away in Washington’s Cascade Mountains near Seattle, is a small ski resort with a big heart. In 2025, I got to visit with Kyle Evers, a former K2 engineer, and experience the magic of Chair 2 one last time. What a community, and what incredible terrain! It’s so good to see this love letter to an iconic old chairlift. Long live Chair 2!

Riders: Legends from Alpental

Video 9: Johan Berg at the Kimbo Sessions | CORE SHOTS

Downdays has a web series called Core Shots, where they follow skiers for a day in their lives. This episode features Johnny B during a day at the Kimbo Session in Sweden. You can see how amazing it looks there: skiing in the sunshine until late at night, with temperatures over 10 degrees and slush.

Riders: Johan Berg and friends

Video 10: Cari Cari - Wānaka (We Can't Not Original Soundtrack) | Official Visualizer

A taste of the soundtrack from the new Legs of Steel film We Can’t Not, plus a sneak peek at the New Zealand segment featuring the Bilous family! The band absolutely nails it. I’m a big fan of original soundtracks for ski films — they add another layer of depth and feel so perfectly tailored to the project. And this teaser? Pure fun from start to finish!

Video 11: Newschoolers Brand Battle 2026 | 4FRNT Skis

This year’s Brand Battle features RMU, Line Skis, and 4FRNT. My favorite: 4FRNT! Newschoolers gave the teams various challenges that they all had to film and complete, such as landing a double flip over a natural hit or riding a rail blind.

Contest of the Week: Slvsh Games

SLVSH is a project by Olympic champion Joss Christensen. It’s like “Game of Skate” in the snow: one player sets a line, and the other has to copy it. Simple and so much fun to watch.

SLVSH || Matej Svancer vs. Cody LaPlante at Kimbo Sessions

The best, craziest park setups in the best park in the world. A neck-and-neck race between the best. Is there a trick Matej can’t do?

    Johanna Korte

    Johanna (Jojo)’s love for the mountains took her to Innsbruck in 2020, where she spent around four years exploring the surrounding alpine landscape whenever she had a free moment. After a season in Japan, she unfortunately found herself a little further away from the mountains in Freiburg in 2025. But that hasn’t kept her from pursuing her passion: summer or winter, she still spends every free moment she can in the mountains. In winter, you’ll most likely find her in a mountain hut or on her way to the next powder run. Her bilingual education brought her to PG, where she is responsible for translating the website and occasionally contributes articles of her own.
