Videos of the Week #5 2019/20 | A pre-Christmas trilogy

Colorful stars sparkle!

12/20/2019

Sebastian Müller

All good things come in threes? I've come across at least three films here that make for a very happy edition of VdW in their own right, and I won't add anything to them, just a few words.

Legs of Steel

The old familiar gang spins around all axes, as it were in Vorarlberg as in Hakuba:

Fire on the Mountain

Wow, yeah, beautiful, the boundaries between art and sport are finally disappearing completely. Chris Bentchetler and co. glide through waves and snow with the perfect musical backdrop of The Grateful Dead - yes, it's going to be Christmas!

Into the wild in a van

Classic "Into the Wild" feeling, only with a van and always matching fish dish (or not)! Pleasantly down-to-earth and simple!

Happy holidays and have fun in the coming powder!

I'm a Bavarian who emigrated to Trieste and work for Powderguide as a meteorologist, developer of the PG-ICON weather and ski video specialist. Val Saisera is my favourite place for ski tours. I like to bake bread, Apfelstrudel and Frico.

Videos of the Week #4 2019/20 | A little bit of everything

12/13/2019 • Sebastian Müller

After the first episodes somehow tried to tie themselves together thematically, you now get a colorful bouquet of flowers, a bit of everything. We have a large-scale production worth seeing on offer, plus fresh vlogs from Italy, France and India, and finally we round things off with an in-house explanatory video, but see for yourself!
Videos of the Week #3 2019/20 | The Empire and us!

12/06/2019 • Sebastian Müller

In recent years, I have occasionally wondered whether the ski movie format still exists at all, whether it was just that its fascination had waned due to familiarization, or whether it was just the absence of Videos of the Week? The trailers for the new season at least give us hope for longer, imperial entertainment. And here, too, we are once again granting larger productions more space and finally having our free world saved by already familiar lone fighters!
Videos of the Week #2 2019/20 | Let's go ECO pro!

11/29/2019 • Sebastian Müller

Of course, we have the first moving images of the Southern Alps on offer. But we are mainly dedicated to the new generation of professional freeriders who seem to run their own YouTube channels. After all, are the days of big productions over? Do freeride pros now have to film and market themselves? Is switch skiing, backflips and drinking beer no longer enough? As an encore, there is also a WDR documentary about "Skiing in Afghanistan, the Olympics and St. Moritz".
