Videos of the Week #17 2019/20 | To the living, and to the dead!

Gone but not forgotten.

Sebastian Müller

What to do in times like these? Act appropriately! We have all heard what that means: social distance. We express condolences to all who are affected by the current situation.

Skiing is secondary now. Nonetheless, respectfully, we want to take a moment today to remember and remind of the members of the snow sports family that we have lost over the years. The ones we knew from ski movies, who pushed the boundaries, the masters of the steep and exposed. And all the others - our friends. All of them are remembered, some shown here in video:

JP Auclair and Andreas Fransson

The people behind the article

Written by

Sebastian Müller

I grew up skiing in the Bavarian Forest and then, during my college years, I became a freerider and ski tourer. When I arrived in Trieste in 2019, I had to admit that skis with a 115mm waist width aren’t always the best choice in the Dolomites and the Julian Alps. I’ve been working for Powderguide since 2019 as a meteorologist, developer of PG-Weather, and former ski video specialist. Val Saisera is my favorite place for ski touring. I bake bread, apple strudel, and frico.

Videos of the Week #16 2019/20 | Absinthe

03/13/2020 • Sebastian Müller

"The Wizard" Gigi Rüf qualified for the Verbier Extreme 2020 at the FWT in Fieberbrunn with a lot of style. [Should it take place, as of today: "Ghost Contest" with live broadcast, see below]. He has left his mark on Absinthe films, and we look back on these great, golden snowboard films that have been watched so often for their soundtracks alone.
Videos of the Week #15 2019/20 | Viva Italia!

03/06/2020 • Sebastian Müller

Italy will survive and, despite the recent crisis, is coming back to life in the powder! We enjoy neve pulverosa and canale and canalone, and hereby show our solidarity with the southern side of the Alps. At least that's how it initially appears on the video... The fresh snow is sometimes sparsely reflected in moving images. So soon we had to pull out some gems, and finally, as is so typical, a PG-Conditions reporter and steep face skier completes this episode, and how!
Videos of the Week #14 2019/20 | VLOGs again!

02/21/2020 • Sebastian Müller

If you can't think of anything, then you watch VLOGs. A bit of something has come together. At the end of the day, once again PowderGuide contest reporter Tobias Huber saves us with his season edit.
