Videos of the Week #7 2020/21 | Happy New VdW!

Into the new year with momentum

01/01/2021

Sebastian Müller

Another year has passed, and in this new one everything will be good and even better! The offerings have burned down, the wax has solidified into symbols and we now know exactly what is really important: video art and skiing!

Road movie by bike

A really beautifully narrated and interesting bike-powered trip! The hardships are believable. When will Cody reach 50?

Travis Rice

His GoPro shots look increasingly hyper-realistic and more like a computer game than ever before.

Classically romantic on the school bus to Alaska

Nikolai in doubt and distress

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 #6 2020/21 | Steep and stylish

12/25/2020 • Sebastian Müller

You can't reinvent the ski, unless your name is Sean McConkey. All striving for powder and weightlessness has its origins in steep face skiing. So in these hopefully reflective days for all of us, let's go back to those roots. After all, whatever we do in the mountains: style means everything.
Videos of the Week #5 2020/21 | This and that

12/18/2020 • Lea Hartl

Sebastian, the curator of the Videos of the Week, is unfortunately unable to make it this time, so Lea has come up with a few video recommendations at short notice. It's a pretty mixed selection, but that's the way it is when the substitute has to step in! We start with a lecture on behavioral economics and avalanches, then turn our attention to the snowpack, then back to the human factor and finally to the best (?) of all ascent aids.
Videos of the Week #4 2020/21 | Südstau and privileges

12/11/2020 • Sebastian Müller

The südstau has delivered, the mountains are full of white splendor. The videos are still lagging a little behind, but we're already seeing something from the Italian Dolomites! Plus a fresh film from Austria and a slightly older French one from the Julian Alps. Also: once again, we can't get past Nikolai Schirmer.
