Ski movie Virne released - downloadable for free
The Finnish “Läskikymppi” freeride team along with vapaalasku.com have released their annual freeride movie. The Virne ski movie is a bit over 20 minutes long and is free to download. All the riders in Virne are Finnish and it’s weird how the small, flat Finland has created a bunch of enthusiastic freeskiers and snowboarders. Virne is not a high budget movie and it does not feature any big Alaska mountain faces filmed from helicopters like some TGR’s mov

Krippenstein Resort Review
The ski resort Krippenstein is part of the “Skiregion Dachstein-West” and located in the Salzkammergut, a part of Upper Austria, north of the Dachstein. The Dachstein massif, Hallstatt and the Salzkammergut are a UNESCO world-heritage-site. But despite that, just some years ago Krippenstein was really unknown. For a while, it did even look that the resort would have to close due to monetary problems caused by lack of customers. It mostly remained a locals paradise while a very few tourists made their way to this unique mountain. It is remote, at least seen in relation to most ski-resorts in central Europe, getting there is not easy. The mou

Longest Ski Descent Ever – Skiing Mount St Elias in Alaska
“Soaring from the Alaskan coastline to an impressive 18,008 feet (5,488 meters), Mount St. Elias’ massive vertical dwarfs even Mount Everest, which is only 11,428 feet (3,483 meters) from summit to base camp. Due to its remote location and notoriously heinous weather, it rarely makes media headlines. Its imposing mass is mostly obscured by clouds that roll in from the Pacific Ocean and rarely attempted. Just making the summit is a true test of endurance. Attempting to descend on skis, some would say, is utter madness.” [Red Bull]
