Videos of the Week #9 2020/21 | About avalanches

From knowledgeable and descriptive to schmaltzy and shallow.

01/15/2021

Sebastian Müller

In view of the northern congestion and the associated avalanche situation, we are also watching videos about avalanches here today. We cover a wide spectrum: from scientific-educational to case studies and VLOGs to music and film. The quality of the videos presented starts at educationally valuable, but steadily declines towards the end until it becomes unbearable. But the selection is large and you have been warned. So, despite all the fun in the powder, watch out!

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 #8 2020/21 | Sustainable VdW

01/08/2021 • Sebastian Müller

Inspired by the last column "Snow of Tomorrow", the new mantra is: "Sustainability sells". The VdW and the ski film industry also need to reorient themselves: "Bigger, deeper, steeper" plus "fat beats" times "kerosene" only leads to "head shaking to tired yawns" among the trained public. So here we present a selection of particularly "green, sustainable, environmentally friendly" ski films, or at least that's what we think.

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!

The Working Group of Austrian Avalanche Warning Services has published its seasonal report for winter 2019/20. The report not only contains statistical evaluations of the past avalanche winter, but also many detailed and impressively illustrated analyses of specific accidental avalanches. In addition to the LWDs of the Austrian federal states, the SLF and the LWD South Tyrol are also represented with guest contributions.
