Riding the longest ice-couloir in the Eastern Alps:
Cima Tosa 3.173m/Canalone Neri (850m 50°)
May 21st 2010
The Dolomiti di Brenta in Italy is a fascinating landscape whose rough character is formed by vertical towers and massive rugged rock faces. In this beautiful scenery, the Cima Tosa (3.173m) forms the highest peak and hosts the object we desire to ascend and ride down: the longest ice couloir in the Eastern Alps, the Canalone Neri (850hm vertical drop, 50° ice) on its northern side.
We depart at four in the morning to the couloir at sunrise. Under a bright blue sky,...

RESULTS SCOTT CZECH RIDE 2010 Lenzerheide 25.-28.3.2010
After two very warm days and predicted windhold for Friday, the competition was postboned and we went off to explore the vibrant nightlife of Lenzerheide. Friday afternoon the temperatures dropped, we gave the hot outdoor pool at the local Spa a go, watching thick snowflakes decorating the village.
Saturday morning conditions were good at last- sunshine and 20-30cm of fresh snow made it possible to ride the impressive Rothorn face. Trying to manage a fluid run in flat light I chose one of the main couloirs and kept my...
Nendaz is part of the well-known 4 vallèes region and includes the valleys and mountain ranges around Nendaz, Verbier, Veysonnaz and Thyon. Late at night after a 7-hours-drive I arrive at Sion at my friend´s house, a great dinner and a bottle of wine are already waiting how lucky am I! Qualification on Saturday summed up the total of two runs on two different faces, and I was happy to make it into the final on Sunday.
In Nendaz I feel like an early bird, at 7:30am I am on the chairlift going up to Plan du Fou for coffee and a donut, before we start to hike up. It is a beautiful...

A brilliant crystal sun rises against a blazing sapphire sky. The rider closes his eyes to the warm morning rays and breathes deeply, filling his lungs with pungent pine, raw earth, and tonic mountain air.
A solo bird rides the wind, distant rivers flow, the world falls silent but for the rhythm of life coursing through his veins. He inhales again, filled with primordial energy. He exhales completely, empty and poised.
Guided by pure intention his descent is ambiguous, taking every possible path and yet none at all.
Ebbing, flowing, flying, floating, a fluid extension of self that begins in a dream and ends in a silent wake of diamonds, a flowing testament to universal truth.
The rider pauses in awe, his spirit returning from its journey.
He casually places his board under his arm then facing the mountain, marches skyward, between worlds, longing for another moment where eternity exists in a single second and time ceases to matter.
After 18 years of experience we have observed that the very best technology often goes unnoticed, and that the very best snowboards contain esoteric ingredients that neither man, nor nature can provide independent of each other, some call it manna, some call it chi, we call it R&D. In addition to offering the most cutting edge technology, we integrate those magical, unforgettable moments to bring you snowboards so absolutely tuned you\'ll forget your riding one.
Don\'t forget to close your eyes
