This season has been particularly scary when it comes to avalanche safety. It’s a topic that just can’t be talked about enough in our community. That’s why we found “Solving for Z” so interesting. It’s the personal story of an experienced guide’s exploration of the risks and rewards of a life built around the mountains. […]

A few years back we organized a trip to go cat skiing in Georgia. Since then, Ingo Schlutius’s Powder Project has grown, and is looking better than ever. We thought we’d check back in with him to see what skiing in the Caucuses looks like in 2021.  Hey Ingo, can you please introduce yourself for […]

Last spring we saw some crazy shit from Christian Moser float by on the gram. It was generally a pretty crazy time, with the onset of a global pandemic and an annoying lockdown, so we weren’t quite sure if it was for real, or just some crazy Nico Vuignier style green screen shit. Did Chrigi […]

The Leysin snowpark holds a special place in Swiss history as one of the most progressive parks around. It hasn’t always been easy over the past thirty years, but these days it’s looking better than ever. We caught up with the shape team to learn some history and find out what it takes to pull […]

The final World Cup of the season went down in Silvaplana and a few of our favorite photographers were on the scene to capture the action. Check out a big gallery from Andri Kaufmann and Filip Zuan below.  Team USA’s Colby Stevenson and France’s Tess Ledeux took the wins but the Swiss girls also showed […]

Arnaud’s been a regular in our magazines over the years, traveling the world, and inspiring us with amazing stories from his […]

If you read TWIN 14, you saw that Elevenate ran a photo competition, offering the winner the opportunity to spend a weekend in Verbier with Jimmy Odén. Jimmy is the co-founder of E11, but more importantly, he is one of the finest guides in Europe. Elias Burgherr ended up winning the comp, so he went […]

Last spring I was scrolling down my instagram, when I saw a skier literally jumping out of my feed. So I scrolled up and down frantically to try to understand what the f*** was going on. After a small reflection I eventually got it. Marinho was pranking me with his new insta project: #framed. A […]

In an age where constant content is king, high quality ski photography can seem a little marginalized. Often relegated to the sidelines of a film production, sniping at the action while the main focus is on the film camera angles. With so many moving parts, the photographer’s angle is frequently less than ideal, but they’re […]

We’re pretty exited about Faction’s new movie, The Collective. But don’t worry if you missed the premieres, we’ll have it on our site for you soon. Since they just released the X Women’s Segment, we thought it would be a good opportunity to check in with Anna Smoothy, to hear more about the movie and […]
