As skiers we are often only interested in one thing: the way down. But the evolution of skiing forces us to conquer new terrain and to concentrate on the ascent to rise from the ground. Learning alpine climbing techniques allow us to reach places and runs that we thought were impossible. Travelling to remote places brings a new perspective to the sport, discovering the life of mountain people with a different approach to skiing in alpine environments. With these new experiments, we return from these trips with the following teaching: skiing is more than just speeding down a hill.
