Videos of the Week #13 2025/26 | Waiatoto

A journey through New Zealand's Southern Alps "River of Blood"

01/30/2026
Hannes Hemper
This week will be full of adventure: a crossing of the Southern Alps in New Zealand by boat, ski and climbing. A female duo on a 10-day winter expedition with couloirs in Alaska. Alongside the adventure, there's park skiing at its finest - crème de la crème from the Depart crew and hotlaps. Plus snowboard clip after clip: A crew that left no pillow untouched. What a movie.

Video 1: WAIATOTO FULL MOVIE 4K - Crossing NZ's Southern Alps

"The Waiatoto" tells the story of crossing the Southern Alps in Aotearoa. What an extreme adventure! The three of them set off and you immediately think: "Oh dear!" Skis, food, camping gear, boat and paddle all have to fit into a single backpack. And then they have to cross a glacier? What legs of steel they must have! The backpacks must weigh almost 60 kilograms, and the terrain is anything but easy: climbing, fog, peaks, rapids.

This story follows Nick, Charlie and Jasper, brought to life by Josh Morgan. Charlie is probably the best known of the three: he's pretty high up the world rankings in enduro racing and is the brother of Craig "Weazy" Murray.

Riders: Nick Pascoe, Charles Murray, Jasper Gibson

Video 2: Johan Rosen Presents - NORTHBOUND AND AROUND

Canada, sleds and an unbridled hunger for clips. The team has left no pillow untouched and no landing left out. They are a real powerhouse full of tricks and clips. They snowboarded well into the spring - and ate in between when there was time.

Riders: Garrett Warnick, Johan Rosen, Nils Arvidsson, Ryan Paterson, Keenan Filmer, Kareem El Rafie, Nils Mindnich, Jess Kimura, Bode Merrill, Ben Bilocq, Brandon Davis, Nick Khattar, Kyle Mack

Video 3: Caite Zeliff & Morgan McGlashon / 'My Ride Or Die'

"You don't always recognize the greatness that's inside you. Sometimes it takes a person by your side to recognize that magic - and nurture it."

Caitie and Morgan are that for each other. Both grew up with single mothers and have similar backgrounds as ski racers. Today, they stand for a strong, modern image of women on skis. We accompany the two of them to Alaska on a 10-day expedition with Couloirs. Badass women. Period.

"If you learn to be a good partner in the mountains, you learn to be a good partner in life."

Riders: Morgan McGlashon and Caite Zeliff

Video 4: Mt Hood Summer Skiing with Salomon Départ by Noah Woodford

The Depart team meets up at Mt. Hood in spring. Slush, park and pipe provide the perfect playground. You can see the new Depart 2.0, a narrower version, and the Depart 1.0 in action.

Depart stands for a new era of park riding: less spins, more play, creativity and style.

Riders: Dane Kirk, Sleepy Skye, Clarke Gavin, Rudy Jo Howel, Sämi Ortlieb, Jack Hague, Tucker Carr

Rider: Arianna Tricomi

Video 6: Reason - Malva Björkman

Malva was caught in an avalanche two years ago - an experience that changed her life and her skiing forever. Today she lives in her van and continues to ski in Norway. What has shaped her and how does she deal with risk today? Take a look for yourself. It's always good to get a perspective on what's going on around you - what's going on in your head.

Rider: Malva Björkman
