The days are short, the evenings long, the temperatures low and the weather does what it does best at this time of year: challenge us. We love it. Sport is a challenge. Active experience gains intensity when nature shows its rough side. When the great freezer opens its lid and rolls out its carpet of frost, snow and ice right to your front door, then you only have to take a few steps to be standing in the middle of an adventure. The suspense in this issue is wide-ranging: from snow storms on remote Himalayan summits to big walls in tropical climes. From cross-border highlines to cave climbing in hot and dusty terrain. The outdoor way of life is highly varied. That is what makes it so fascinating and challenging. We want to make it as varied as possible for you too. And on that note – open all winter!
