Chemistry

Gli obiettivi ambiziosi hanno bisogno di legami forti. Quasi dieci anni fa, insieme a GORE-TEX, abbiamo iniziato a perseguire un obiettivo che si pensava impossibile: eliminare le sostanze chimiche perfluorurate, conosciute come PFC e PFAS, dai tessuti impermeabili dei nostri capi outdoor. Tutto questo senza comprometterne le prestazioni. Ebbene, abbiamo raggiunto quest’obiettivo e stabilito uno standard completamente nuovo per i gusci tecnici. Adesso, come in montagna dove c’è sempre un nuovo obiettivo da raggiungere, anche noi non ci fermeremo finché avremo eliminato tutte le sostanze chimiche da ogni componente dei nostri articoli. Per sempre.

Weather forecasts are everywhere, even if few people pay attention to them. A thriving industry, which has fully exploited the digital transformation and does not seem willing to stop. Harmless articles in national newspapers have evolved into hugely popular geolocalized apps. But if the negligible end-of-page columns and the sparse television interludes (strictly institutionalized by colonels in uniform) lacked appeal and distribution, today weather forecasts represent the true renewable energy of the content business. Arctic irruptions, water bombs, hailstorms, floods and anticyclones baptized with b-movie titles alternate on stage without stopping. In Italy alone, in the first half of 2023, visitors to

sites and apps (dedicated exclusively to the weather) were over 34 million. About 59% of total internet users. If we add search engines, as demonstrated by Google's annual financial statements, the representation is complete. The weather has become the main object of the most banal pleasantries, of bar chatter. The weather is the successful content, both for its widespread diffusion, but also and above all for the profit margins it allows. Ilmeteo Srl, the Padua company behind ilmeteo.it, declared revenues of over 12 million euros in 2022, with a pre-tax profit of 8 million. All with 13 employees. We are faced with a golden goose. Those among us, even in the field of nivology, who have ever dealt with the

basic principles of this science, know that a professional forecast is made up of itself and conditionals, as well as bulletins for more than 72 hours. Besides “it's like the horoscope". On the Air Force website, the models after 3 days are not even statistically monitored retrospectively to verify their success. This uncertainty about long-term reliability clashes with the widespread impression that it is precisely long-term forecasts that are most used as a marketing strategy. As I write it is Wednesday and ilmeteo.it already reports this headline: «GIGANTIC ANTICYCLONE. Here's when it will arrive. Pay attention to its duration." This "thing" arriving, probably on Monday, well after 72 hours, seems to be capable of "total-

ly overturning the conditions in Italy". And to add to the drama, the classic dramatic ending: "Here comes yet another clear sign of ongoing climate change with increasingly direct consequences." With this announced winter break I can already imagine situations of pre-Christmas panic and psychosis among those hoping for a New Year's Eve under the snowflakes. Weather is the new divine oracle. We rely on it blindly. Scientific language has long given way to catastrophism in a mix of storytelling and clickbaiting. The apps use the pattern of political marketing: report risks and present opportunities, instill fear (your cars are at risk) and give hope (then calm will return). Even the humani-

PHOTO LORENZO ALESI

zation of the phenomena is not just a banal trick: the anonymous and sad disturbances have been elevated to historical figures and Gods of Olympus, almost to make us feel less guilty: "it wasn't us, it's cyclone Poppea's fault”. But if data is open to everyone, how do you become an industry leader? Or “the weather that makes the difference”? The use of television partnerships, probably managed as an exchange of services and visibility, was the real Trojan horse. The interface, so little slick, perfect for the average user (what is there can be seen directly on the screen) has added features that have contributed to the success: observing the disturbances move with the radar functionality has

fueled the fascination of feeling like a "little meteorologist”. But perhaps the most plausible explanation is that "the winner takes it all": when you are the most downloaded app, you are also the most recommended by word of mouth. Now the new frontier is called gamification. Some overseas apps reward users who "survive" consecutive days of extreme heat, or a week of continuous rain, with virtual badges. More time spent looking at screens, more money on advertising and data. The more extreme the phenomena, the more the weather is influenced by users. It is easy to predict that the climate crisis will bring, if nothing else, good news for the balance sheets of these companies.

PATAG O N I A P R E S E N T S « T H E M E A N I N G L E S S PURSUIT OF SNOW » The world of skiing and snowboarding is often experienced by riders as an endless treasure hunt among the peaks, in the constant search for new turns to gain off piste. And it is following this spirit that Patagonia wants to catapult us with the documentary released online at the beginning of December. The film delves into the depths of the human soul, exploring what drives these passionate individuals to dedicate themselves to exploring remote places in search of pristine snow, of the connection with nature and of the joy of effort.

Her musical taste, influenced by her brother who loves the sound of the 2010s, alternates between pop punk and scream. To get into the mind of the high speed skier and biker, her playlist is available on Spotify: Delilah Cupp's Mix.

This is the second consecutive year in which the "by women for women" brand is involved in this solidarity project in response to Black Friday.

Ski Sauvage 2024: the wildest test days in Europe New dates for Italy, France, Switzerland and Poland “Ski Sauvage Tour is an adventure to be shared through the love of skiing and the pursuit of pleasure” says Giorgio Saviane, Black Crows’ chief marketing officer. “It is a way of exploring new areas, of bringing together different people animated by the same passion and spending time together in the mountains.” Ski Sauvage represents skiing as experienced by the founders of the French brand, Bruno Compagnet and Camille Jaccoux. A profoundly free activity, based on sharing the experience of the mountains, both with professional skiers and beginners, with a focus above all on tracing sinuous lines on the snowy slopes. And it’s thanks to Ski Sauvage, Black Crows’ test event, which gives the end consumer the opportunity to test the various models of the current season, available to the curious people who can't wait to find their favorite model. An effective and accessible initiative: all you have to do is go to blackcrows. com, find the best stop for your needs among the different locations in France, Italy, Switzerland and Poland, and sign up. During these days it will be possible to try the brand's piste, fre-

eriding and ski mountaineering skis, with a small detail that makes the initiative truly special: Black Crows organizes test and backcountry sessions led by their athletes. The crew is made up of a group of ambassadors and athletes who, in addition to acting as guides at the test sessions, will be able to reveal secrets and tips to make the days on powder even more unforgettable. In what other occasion you can go home saying you skied with none other than Sam Favret? This is what happened to us last April at the Ski Sauvage stage in Chamonix held on the occasion of the Unlimited Music Festival. Furthermore, if your chosen stop is Chamonix, a visit to the Black Crows Store, the so-called “Nest”, is a must do!

What makes Black Crows skis unique? The brand seems to embody the two founding souls with a perfect balance. Those of Camille and Bruno, two truly iconic characters who give the French brand a very refined look in terms of design. Bruno, together with the product development team coordinated by Kenji Teshima, is dedicated to producing truly high performing skis that leave no room for compromise in terms of quality. Camille, on the other hand, takes great care of the design and creativity aspects. The brand's graphic projects are created by a Greek Parisian designer who takes care of various projects of the lifestyle world. An important influence that makes the brand highly sought after.

Patagonia Alpine Suit It's 2020 and we are in Ben Nevis, Scotland, the highest mountain in the British Isles. Climber and Patagonia ambassador Matt Helliker is outdoors for some tests.

With him Eric Noll, designer of the Californian brand, with whom he began a conversation about how obsolete and inefficient are the alpine suits used up to that point. Matt instead imagines a one-piece, designed for the most extreme conditions but which offers protection and freedom of movement. Eric is intrigued and the COVID19 pandemic, for once, is useful, giving him the necessary time to implement what is in his head. It's 2023 and we're in Chamonix, France, on an unusually warm February day. Matt and Eric reunite and after three years of conversations and experimentation, they are finally realizing their vision. The conditions at the Col du Géant are terrible, it's too warm, but that doesn't stop them from going out and test on the field that same suit that, three years earlier, was only in their imagination. This is how Alpine Suit was born, among some rock pitches and ski lines in Vallée Blanche. The prototype created performed beyond both expectations. Like an aegis, it provided them with total protection for the whole body thanks to the new Gore-Tex membrane it uses, while ensuring unrestricted movement. After the first, fundamental tests, the time came to

translate an experimental design into a garment ready for production. The challenge was great but the Patagonia team did not let itself be discouraged. In order to tune the material to climbing movement, Eric eschewed 2D sketches and instead draped hand-cut muslin fabric directly on a harness-wearing mannequin. Lillian Crowe, a senior size- and fit-pattern engineer, digitized the pattern. Of course, the team had to make sure anyone could wear one. Product Developer Christine Tran adapted wetsuit sizing to adjust each measurement of the suit to fit a variety of bodies. Alpine Suit is a concentrate of technology ready to assist us in our most extreme adventures, however one of its most important advantages is intangible: the confidence it gives. The weather changes rapidly in the mountains,

wearing something that makes us feel safe helps us face even the most difficult situations. It also uses responsible materials that do not compromise quality. It is in fact built in 100% recycled 3-layer Gore-Tex fabric, PFC-Free, waterproof and breathable, with specific design solutions for mountaineering. The gusset, the knee and elbow joints are designed for a high step and extended reach for high mobility, while the dimensions and design details ensure a comfortable fit. The innovative spiral-zip hood is snug and protective and expands to be helmet-compatible without adding bulk. The zips are watertight and allow you to ventilate the jacket and easily make stops without having to undress. The two large chest pockets are positioned away from the harness and pack strap while the two internal stash pockets are large enough to store skins or gloves.

BlizzardTecnica presents: “Did you get the memo?” Lake Tahoe, California. An office like many others, with booths between the desks, the noise of the photocopier and files being moved and stapled. In an unlikely office outfit with shirt and tie, there are in fact freeskiers Noah Gaffney (freeriding animal who began 2023 by descending McConkey's - Eagle's Nest - from the famous KT-22 chairlift in Palisades) and Connery Lundin, champion of Freeskiing World Tour in 2015. While the boss solicits the work, their empty gaze thinks of that voice that calls them and tempts them to set the email "out of office". A quick glance at the weather and we find them on the snow of Palisades Tahoe with the new Blizzard Rustler on their feet between gullies and backflips. With Cochise still dripping on their feet and a goggle tan that doesn't fit well with an office job, they go back to their desks. But there's no problem if your boss is none other than Elyse Saugstad: despite her stiletto heels she still has a few tricks to teach her "collaborators" when she hooks up with her Sheeva. Blizzard-Tecnica has chosen a decidedly "out of the box" video to launch the new generation of Rustler and Sheeva: given the significant contribution of the group of Blizzard athletes in testing and developing its potential to the maximum, bringing the Freeride line to a new leve, why not involve them in the official launch too? Blizzard's new freeriding collection combines the highest level of fun and versatility with an unprecedented feeling of safety and control. “From groomed

slopes to deep powder, there's nothing the Rustler and Sheeva can't tackle” explains Gianluca Bisol, Blizzard Ski product manager. “Turning the best into something beyond the best was a challenge, but we had one big advantage: the opportunity to implement Blizzard's latest construction technologies into a freeriding ski. Today our new Rustler and Sheeva models respond to how you move, but also how you think. They are the connection between the next curve and the imagination of those who have them at their feet.” The secret behind the performance you see on screen is the perfectly balanced flex offered by the new Trueblend Freeride Woodcore, which

expertly combines thin beech and poplar struts, capable of guaranteeing lively and snappy performances, with Paulownia, a light and high performing wood. “It is a highly complex and exclusive construction, designed in the Blizzard factory in Mittersill, in the Austrian Alps. This technological and at the same time artisanal creation allows us to assemble a product made of three different types of wood to precisely control the flex along the entire length of the ski. The result is being able to offer the desired downhill performances together with the complete reliability and control essential to face all snow conditions and any weather" concludes Bisol.

The Art of Circular Design: Vietti x Impact Studio supported by Arc’teryx Vietti, a historic concept store that has been based in Arona for more than 70 years, on the shores of Lake Maggiore, has joined forces with Impact Studio, the collective dedicated to experimenting and developing the concepts of circularity and upcycling in the outdoor world. The result was a hands-on workshop, which came to life on September 30th, focusing on regeneration and repair services. A nice idea for your community to direct creativity through the use of sustainable materials and the adoption of a "circular" model. The event was made possible and supported by Arc'teryx, a Canadian brand specialized in clothing and equipment for outdoor sports activities, which has always been known for its innovative approach to design and engineering with a focus on the concept of life of the product. This vision is realized through events and initiatives, investments in high quality products, regeneration and repair services. Impact Studio, for its part, aims to educate as many people as possible about these last two concepts, identifying the defect of a product as a starting point to give value to objects otherwise destined for waste. The collaboration with Vietti is part of this same perspective, with which it shares the key value of giving new life to products and promoting creativity as a force for change. An intent that also fits perfectly with the values promoted by Arc'teryx: su-

stainability and the vision of a future in which nothing gets wasted. So on the morning of Saturday, September 30th, inside the Vietti store in Corso Repubblica number 38, two large workstations were set up: on each table there were materials and tools supplied by Arc'teryx such as discarded fabrics, jackets, caps, zippers, laces, buckles and much more. These materials, the result of production defects or previously used by the brand's athletes, represented an inexhaustible source of inspiration. The 10 participants were part of a varied and heterogeneous group made up of outdoor enthusiasts, fashion designers, students and athletes. They have been guided by Leonardo Plebani of Impact Studio who helped and assisted them in their experiments, designing, cutting and sewing, thus giving life to unique creations such as tote bags, shoulder pouches, balaclavas, vests and even a hybrid jacket and skirt set. One of the highlights was when Paolo Marazzi, a mountain guide and selected Arc'teryx athlete, joined the

group. A well-known figure in the world of climbing up to telemark freeriding, Marazzi shared his experiences, from facing challenges in Greenland to upcoming projects in Patagonia, reinforcing the link between extreme outdoor activities and the importance of durable, sustainable equipment. The workshop continued while the Vietti shop gradually became alive with visitors and curious people, some who came from far away, driven by the desire to see the newly created creations up close and to discover the new Arc'teryx Autumn/Winter 2023 collection, particularly the iconic Alpha, Beta and Gamma jackets. Initiatives like this become unforgettable for those who have the opportunity to take part in them, with the hope for other events of this kind in which to share passions and hopes for a future in which sustainability and creativity will play a central role. And, why not, perhaps always in the amazing setting of Lake Maggiore, where there is no shortage of landscapes and destinations where you can experience first-hand experiences in contact with nature.

Thule Adventure within reach It was 1942 when Eric Thulin founded Thule, a small company in the town of Hillerstorp in the heart of the southern Swedish forests, which began to make its way into the market by producing fishing accessories. Beyond the blanket of fresh water that covers it, Sweden is dominated by forests of a spectacular variety of greens: pines, firs, birches, beeches, oaks, limes and maples are just an example. We don't know if it was the smell of pine or the red of the maple leaves that inspired Eric Thulin, but we like to believe that when, in 1962, the company shifted its focus from fishing to the automotive sector, it did so in following a sort of vision. Maybe he was going to spend a weekend away with his family, in the forests of Småland, in his Volvo P 1800 which was too full. His bag, the tent, the children's bag, his wife's bag, the portable fridge. The solution was there, right above his head. Make use of the space outside the car instead of just the inner one. We're not sure it happened exactly like this, but we're sure that when Thule launched the first product for transporting sports equipment in 1962, the success was boundless. Over sixty years have passed since that revolutionary product and Thule, throughout its history, has never stopped evolving and creating products that simply want to make their customers' lives more comfortable. From roof racks, for every type of discipline and tool and then again suitcases, backpacks and bags, in addi-

tion to strollers and tents that can be mounted on the roof of the car. We were lucky enough to be invited to the exclusive Thule THEX 23|24 event in Malmö on November 16th, where over thirty new products from this year's collection were presented. The two key products presented during the event were roof tents for cars, travel bags and backpacks. We intercepted Thule Product Manager, Graham Jackson, and Design Manager Chris Grill, to let those who live this very dynamic reality tell us better what are their visions and commitment to the environment and where the ideas for new lines come from.

Backpacks and travel bags, some insight from the Design Manager, Chris Grill One of Thule's flagship items for decades, this category is developed from a team based in Colorado. “We're right near the mountains so we have great access to hiking, trail running, mountain biking and skiing.” Chris is particularly keen to point out that Thule has been designing them for more than 15 years, saying “I think the reason we got into this category was that it was another means of helping people carry outdoors what they needed, whether it was just travel clothes, outdoor adventure gear, everything

with a tent mounted on its roof. “In 2019 Thule bought American brand, DePuy, world leader in rooftop tents. As Thule is the leader in roof racks and accessories, we felt the tents were a great addition to our product offering and, most importantly, we wanted to create a safe combination for the market. In this way a complete package is obtained, which the consumer can easily purchase while feeling protected in his little house on four wheels.” With the introduction of the latest models, Graham explains to us how the term roof tent for the car has now turned into a simple car tent, as they can be positioned anywhere: above the roof, but also behind. We are very curious about this, so we want to know more about what the market reaction was. “The market response has been very strong. When we launched rooftop tents in 2019, 2020, they were a niche category at that time. Then, with the pandemic, everyone wanted to be outdoors, especially camping, so this category exploded for us and for the entire sector. People are learning about the different ways they can turn their everyday vehicle into an adventure one, without having to buy a van or anything else.." you need for your family or, why not, for your dog.” Chris has an electrifying enthusiasm when he speaks. We get carried away by his energy and ask him what his favorite backpack is. He hesitates a bit, he thinks about it, but in reality, the answer is very clear. “I think we're all very excited about the Tula Iron Collection. Since it was designed, the focus has always been on the sustainability of the materials. We have tried to use as many 100% recycled materials and post-consumer recycled materials as possible. It also has a beautiful wax finish. So, as you use it and love it more, the fabric itself will show the travels and adventures

it faced. It has always seemed like a fantastic idea to me, which makes your backpacks and bags unique. It represents 360° what Thule is, the entire collection being perfect for traveling anywhere, suitable for any activity, from skiing to swimming at the lake.”

Graham Jackson, Thule’s Product Manager, and the car tents Between a backpack and a bag, we make our way to reach Graham Jackson, Thule's Product Manager, who is waiting for us standing next to a car parked inside the showroom

Here too, the question about our favorite tent seemed obligatory. Graham didn't have to think much about it and told us that his favorite, is the Tula. We go back home from Malmö with the scent of Swedish pines still in our nostrils and the awareness of how much being in love with nature and adventure can make the difference when creating high quality products.

PFCs are everywhere, but what's the problem? Fjällräven's path to 100% PFC-Free starts from afar The opportunity to talk about PFCs this time is given to us by Aiko Bode, Chief Sustainability Officer of Fjällräven International who, to gradually eliminate PFCs and find alternative solutions for the Swedish company, began getting involved in 2012. But what are these PFCs? And above all, why are they a problem for the outdoor sector and beyond?

Let’s start from the beginning. Perfluorocarbons (PFCs) are chemical compounds made up of fluorine and carbon, the bond of which is the strongest in all organic chemistry. These compounds offer unique properties and give very high performances of resistance to water and to dirt to the fabrics that are treated with them. This is why they are used so much in the outdoor industry. There is a detail that we can no longer afford to overlook: these chemical compounds, during production processes and during consumer use, are dispersed into the environment without ever decomposing, which is why they are nicknamed "Forever Chemicals". Furthermore, these small particles, which separate from the shells for example during excursions in the woods or towards the peaks, have a very

high volatility. In this way, PFCs are gradually contaminating the atmosphere, the soil and the organisms, entering the food chain and proving harmful to health and the environment. Fortunately, however, companies like Fjällräven work to remedy this problem and to guarantee their customers durable, quality and high

performing products, which at the same time protect the environment. The Swedish company was in fact a pioneer of the transition towards completely PFC-Free products, starting way back in 2008 a virtuous path full of obstacles and difficulties, but focused towards the goal of protecting the planet at any cost.

THE PILL SUSTAINABILITY BY NICOLA MERCOGLIANO

2015: Fjällräven could finally declare that it had gradually eliminated PFCs, not only from the fabrics of waterproof jackets, but also from those of tents, backpacks and accessories. Only one thing remained, which would prove to be a very complex detail to resolve: zippers. 2023: After many difficulties, YKK, the world leader in waterproof zippers, has finally managed to present a zipper produced without PFCs. The wait finally seemed to be over, but it was discovered that the paints with which the zippers were colored still contained PFCs.

Towards PFC-Free, step by step April 2008: IThe Fjällräven team had just held their annual meeting with chemist Stefan Posner who, as usual, had presented the latest research on chemicals of interest to the outdoor industry. The main topic of the meeting was PFCs and how they were starting to be found in everything. 2009: Fjällräven decided that unnecessary chemical components, including PFCs, would no longer be used. At a time when the industry was making extensive use of chemical additives to improve product performance, this bold initiative entailed considerable risks. It was necessary to communicate with suppliers to involve them in this challenge and with customers to educate them and be transparent towards them. In parallel it was decided to develop a water repellent membrane entirely free of PFCs. 2012: The first collection of completely PFC-free products characterized by the innovative Eco-Shell membrane was launched. This product was never going to be the best on the market for keeping hikers dry in pouring rain.

But it had achieved maximum performance, without adding PFCs into the environment, long before lawmakers even thought about banning them. There was a lot of enthusiasm, but the joy would not last long… It was discovered that one of the suppliers was still using PFCs in its production process and every single product had to be withdrawn from the market. Subsequently, it was also understood that the water used within the production facility had been reused and came from other producers who were contaminating Fjällräven's products. A radical overhaul was needed to stop the spread. Greenpeace ultimately found fluorochemicals in several items of Fjällräven outdoor clothing. Aiko Bode, recalls that: "Greenpeace was surprised, and so were we. This would be the first hard lesson when it came to cross contamination. It turned out that our collections had been hung in the same room as products that contained fluorochemicals and this was enough to transfer them to our items. We had to completely reorganize the production and ensure that everything was separated. Contamination was everywhere.”

Today, researchers believe they have identified approximately 80% of the application areas for fluorochemicals, while 20% have not yet been defined. They can be anywhere. "Sometimes it can be a shortcut to making clothing more durable. If you soak a poor quality t-shirt in PFCs, it will last through multiple washes" says Bode. The PFC ban is expected to come into force in California on January 1st, 2025, followed by the EU by 2026. For Fjällräven, which already knows well the challenges ahead, the impending ban has no internal impact on the company, but is warmly welcomed as it will help other brands take steps towards the right direction. In conclusion, even if the goal of becoming 100% PFC-Free has not yet been achieved, Fjällräven has come a long way. Reducing PFCs from our planet will take time. A lot of time. But regardless of how long it takes and how much technological development is needed to eliminate them completely, it is the right and only way to move forward.

An unbreakable bond Mountain stories, tales of desires, courage and love for the peaks. LaMunt inaugurates a cycle of video episodes with its crew. Tiziana is a glaciologist and she chose this profession because she loves the mountains. After all, she grew up there, being originally from Cevo in the province of Brescia, a small village in Val Camonica surrounded by peaks, the same ones that she saw every time she opened her front door and which constitute the deepest memory of her childhood. Her research work aims to investigate the effects that climate change has on glaciers: a commitment that she hopes will contribute to finding a way to safeguard the environment where she feels most at home and connected to herself: the mountains. Growing up free among the valleys made her the woman she is and she would like this privilege to be extended to many other girls after her, who like her will be able to experience a profound connection with those peaks. «Experiencing nature is an opportunity to get to know myself better, without filters, to connect with myself and my roots" explains Tiziana. «When I'm in the mountains, I can really give value to the route, more than the destination. And this is a great teaching that I try to put into practice in my everyday life, managing to appreciate more the commitment I put into what I do.» What is the point of creating techni-

cal clothing for mountain-loving women if we don't know their stories? LaMunt, the brand founded by Ruth Oberrauch and specifically dedicated to the needs and "me time" of women in the mountains, has decided to take a step further and answer this question with a journey of discovery of the stories of those who are final recipients of its product. Ruth represents the sixth generation of a family that has made history in the world of outdoor clothing: the Oberrauch family is in fact the founding family of Oberalp, the group that owns companies such as Salewa, Dynafit, Pomoca and Wild Country. LaMunt arrived in

2022 thanks to the determination of its founder, strongly convinced of the need to create products specifically designed for the needs of the mountain-loving female public with the aim of overturning a paradigm, namely the one that saw technical clothing be first thought of on the male body and only subsequently adapted to the female one, or simply replicated in a different colour. LaMunt pants, for example, are slightly raised on the back, in order to keep a particularly sensitive part of the body warm in women, while sweaters and jackets are constructed following the "Ali shape", i.e. a curved shape, which better adapts to natu-

ralness of the body compared to boxy jackets. The brand's motto is in fact "By women for women" and, to give it a concrete landing, it has created a crew: an all-female community that has accompanied the brand from its very first steps, contributing with their feedback to making it a reality out of Ruth's dream: to make women feel completely at ease while experiencing the mountains. The key moments in which brands and the crew meet, the LaMunt Crew Events, take place every two years and are a precious opportunity for discussion, product testing and mutual knowledge.

Key moments such as the workshops organized by the LaMunt team are of vital importance for making crucial improvements to your products: it is through comparison that you can move a pocket even just a few centimeters, or decide to magnetize a zip to make the experience more comfortable use: this is how the Smart Fit Solutions of which the brand is so proud are born and which are what distinguishes the particular attention to even the most imponderable needs. The side effect of this initiative is the construction of a relationship of esteem and trust between the brand and the crew, which has led to the creation

of something unique, which goes far beyond the simple comparison with a product: it is therefore from sharing of values and one's own life stories linked to the mountains that LaMunt Crew Stories was born, a cycle of video episodes dedicated to the experiences of each woman in the group. The first story, launched by the brand in conjunction with the presentation of the Autumn/Winter 2023 collection, is, in fact, that of Tiziana Zendrini. Her testimony represents a piece of a larger puzzle, of a world of connections that aims to improve not only the mountain experience, but also the way in which we approach it.

Mountains at He(Art) for the 70 years of Cober To celebrate its 70 years of activity, the historic brand of mountain poles Cober has decided to go big. It presented an artistic project called Mountains at (HE)Art bringing together the works of twelve artists inspired by the iconic poles which will be exhibited in a vernissage at the ArtNobel Gallery in Milan on December 11th, 2023.

It's no news for Cober to be divided between its love for the mountains and for art. For several years now, in fact, the company has been part of the artistic project The Art of Skiing, through which it entrusts an artistic project inspired by Cober to an artist close to the outdoor world and attentive to the theme of sustainability. For its seventieth anniversary, the brand wanted to go further, entrusting twelve artists, united by the Italian nationality and an unconventional vision, with an artistic project without particular guidelines. The beauty of the results was precisely the variety and ability to differentiate themselves from each other, without losing sight of the three key points that they had in common with Cober: sustainability, nature and innovation. Each of the twelve artists received a pair of Cober poles and created a work that reflected their vision of the outdo-

ors and art by incorporating the models into their ideas. A perfect combination that can amaze enthusiasts of both worlds. It is no coincidence that the inauguration of the vernissage, where all twelve works of art were presented, was planned for December 11th, 2023 at the ArtNobel Gallery in Milan, on the International Mountain Day.

“Opera” by Stefano Canzani, is dedicated entirely to the seventy years of Cober’s history. It is no coincidence that Mirasole Abbey is represented, the place where the company established its roots, with a futuristic look due to the collage effect that makes the Altheisure Sedici poles become the columns of the cloister.

Cober was born in 1953, founded by Renato Covini, with the aim of being the first brand of ski poles made in Italy. This is why when choosing the artists, Sofia Catoldi and Ludovica Simone, curators of the exhibition, placed much attention on Italian artists.

“Movimento perpetuo” (perpetual movement) by Luca Curioni pays homage to the mountain with its geometric references, creating, from the Queen G pole, an image that represents the snow-covered mantle of the peaks in continuous movement, always different, but with that static nature, and

consequently confidence, that only the mountain knows how to inspire. “Cober cercle”, by Mattia Iotti, uses the straight line of the Hero Yellow pole as a starting point to completely renew its shape, giving life to a circular figure that represents the continuity of the company and its constant desire for innovation. “Fioritura interiore” (inner flowering) by Sara Quatela takes inspiration from the Freedom model and interprets the vision of the Alps from an emotional and experiential point of view, very subjective for each spectator. “Untitled” by Alberto Selvetrel wants to establish a real link between the landscape and elements within his photos, it is no coincidence that the Acer pole is the silent protagonist of a beautiful glimpse of the village of Varigotti, in Liguria. “Polvere di neve” (snow dust) by Valery Franzelli inspires yet another point of view: the imprints of the Pow Pow poles in the snow as a reminder of

memory and remembrance. A tribute to the silence that prevails after a wonderful snowfall. “Il camminatore” (the walker) by Matete Martini focuses on the decomposition of the dynamic act that occurs during a walk with Rubus. Such a natural act, but if it is broken down it gives us the opportunity to reflect on our most remote nature. “Cielo-cober” (Cober-sky), by Stefano Riboli, overlaps the Cardamine Blue poles to create a three-dimensional image in which the protagonist is the typical blue sky of a clear day in the mountains. “Studio botanico” (botanical study), by Clelia Cadamuro, inserts the Thunder model into a green and natural environment just as if they were themselves elements of the landscape. A vision inspired by the possibility that Cober poles allow to reach distant places lost in nature. “Sckreeech” by Clarissa Falco is a physical representation of the sound that

gives the work its name. The onomatopoeia used by the artist, in fact, comes from the world of comics and from the funny noise that occurs on the snow following a sudden braking. To do this she used SubZero poles to represent a sort of character who, falling and rolling on the snow, drags with him everything he encounters. “CNTRL” by Adriano Tenore draws the viewer's attention to explore the brand as a space full of innovation, almost lunar. To recreate this effect he uses Eagle model, placing it in a sort of astral representation, playing on an optical effect that aims to recall extreme climatic conditions. “Peaks Cober 1, 2, 3, 4” by Mauro Baio is the last work of the project, but not the first for the artist, who has been collaborating with Cober for years thanks to the shared love they both have for the mountains. The work, created with Crust poles, is the evolution of the works that have inspired the artist for years: a delicate mix of colours, geometries and sports.

Novembre in Chamonix, “No matter the weather” with Norrøna and Polartec November is that month of the year that the running world calls - the month of excuses. It's too cold to run in the morning, in the evening it's too dark, it usually rains, the road is icy. For skiing, however, it is too early. Yet, if you know how to deal with it in the right way and places, it is a magical moment. Take Chamonix: a destination chosen by anyone who loves the mountains regardless of seasonality. In winter the mountains are painted with a thousand lines of different freeriders while the slopes are full of passionate alpine skiers. Whereas in summer the crags are just as full as the pubs when climbers come down after a full day in the mountains. In September, UTMB gathers runners from all over the world, and with them also brands, media, enthusiasts and everyone curious. And in November? In November it’s time to rest. The larches let go of the green color to warm the atmosphere to an autumnal orange. The masses of tourists and mountain people stay at home, after all there is no snow and many believe it is too cold to run. We had the privilege of being there in November and seeing its magic thanks to two days spent with Norrøna and Polartec to get to know them better but also to test some products on field.

Born in the harsh Norwegian lands, this is Norrøna For sure, at least once, you’ve spotted the profile of a Viking on the jacket of some passionate snow lover who spends hours researching the best technologies and innovations to stand out from the masses. That Viking bears the name of Norrøna, big sized family-run brand that was the first to introduce some of the most innovative technologies and products. In fact, if you ask that one passionate snow lover which onepiece suit for mountaineering and ski mountaineering, he remembers was popular a few years ago, he will point out the Viking again, with the Lofoten Pro Shell One Piece. The Norwegian brand was born in 1929 from the mind of Jørgen Jørgensen, an outdoor enthusiast who wanted to create specific garments to face the

typical Norwegian harsh climates and terrains. The headquarters remained in Oslo and in almost 100 years its mission has been carried out by a company of global importance. Innovation has never taken a back seat, just think that it was the first European brand to use Gore-Tex in its products. The commitment to sustainability is the fourth pillar of the company, which has been carried on over the years with extreme transparency (note for example the website, where it is explained precisely where the garments are produced and accompanying information is provided on workers certifications and conditions). In 2020, a new chapter begins for Norrøna in the name of experiences with Norrøna Hvitserk Adventure: a project to teach and share the way of experiencing nature as they understand it, investing in the redevelopment of

abandoned structures to create spaces where they can share their passion for the outdoors.

About Lyngen Alpha 100 In addition to enjoying the autumn landscape at the foot of Mont Blanc, one of our missions was to test one of the products resulting from the long collaboration between two revolutionary companies: Norrøna and Polartec. Polartec Alpha is a fabric invented to deal with extreme temperature changes and start-stop situations during medium and high intensity activities. Norrøna, thanks to its progressive soul, was the first brand to use this fabric without the need for layering, but leaving it directly in contact with the skin. In fact, if today we can distinguish a garment with Polartec Alpha thanks to its recognizable texture, it is precisely thanks to the Norwegian brand. But let's get back to us. We tested Lyngen Alpha on a gloomy day and we did it in the most suitable place for this type of weather in the Chamonix area (take note!), Saint Gervais les Bains. A place known for its spa, if you ask a common citizen, but for evryone else it's where you go on a rainy for dry tooling. In order to actively test Lyngen Alpha 100, we chose a via ferrata. The via ferrata Du Parc Thermal extends along the perimeter of a gorge, overlooking a watercourse with its waterfall. The air, like the rock, is humid and cold. Between carabiners, trembling arms and overhangs, a hybrid garment like Lyngen finds its ideal terrain: it acts the moment you move, letting sweat escape and maintaining the internal body temperature. In activities like this, where it is not possible to change position but it is necessary to stay dry and warm as possible, Polartec Alpha fabric has done its duty. Likewise, the freedom of movement afforded by the design of the jacket was decisive as was the practical pocket on the piece to quickly reach small essential objects.

Federica Mingolla

Looking for balance. In the mountains and in life. BY C H I A R A B E R E T TA

P H OTO S M AT T EO PAVA N A

Passion and work. Public and private life. The mountain and everything else. For climber Federica Mingolla, professional athlete, mountain guide and ambassador of the Salewa People team, finding the right balance is not always easy, especially when the line that separates one area from another is so thin that it gets lost. To fit everything together requires commitment, patience and dedication. Some attempts to find the best formula. And also a good dose of compromise, a "talent" that needs to be trained. However, always keeping in mind a point that cannot be questioned: living well and faithful to oneself. Federica has no doubts about this. What kind of happiness do we find ourselves in our hands, otherwise, if we force ourselves to flounder through days choked by commitments, if we sacrifice all the pleasure on the altar of work?

to distinguish the two things: the line is very thin. For example, when I go in the mountains with a client it is important not to push towards a route that I would actually like to do myself, as if I could make the two things coincide. You mentioned before the need to find compromises: is this a skill you already had or are you still working on it? In my opinion, no one already has it: as children, at least in the West, we are used to not making compromises, to having everything we want. Only as we grow up do we understand that life isn't like that. Personally, I'm still working on it. Having a passion-work that has to do with always being outdoors and travelling, and which requires training when I'm at home, it's difficult to find time for everything: for my family and loved ones, for non-sports activities what I want to do, for my studies... I started doing osteopathy: I needed to make the neurons move in a different direction. I love the mountains, I chose it and I wouldn't change it for anything in the world, but it's true that always being in the mountains, studying it, hanging out with people who only talk about that... In the end I also need something else, to know and feel different things. I try to manage everything in a sectoral way, without overloading myself. And I don't need it, honestly: I'm not interested in getting rich, but in living well.

Hi Federica! People say: “Make your passion your job and you will never work a day in your life." But others reply: “Make your passion your job and you will no longer have a passion.” Which side are you on? Definitely on the more optimistic side. As far as I'm concerned, being a mountain guide and professional athlete is wonderful, even if obviously there are compromises to accept and it's not always all fun and games. However, the passion does not fade, even if it becomes a job. We must learn

When did you decide to become a mountain guide? I thought about it for the first time while meeting Adriano, a mountain guide friend who unfortunately passed away. In him I saw what I wanted to become, I recognized myself in his approach to his life. Being a mountain guide actually has different nuances and everyone approaches the profession differently, but I liked his way: don't work too much, only do it when you really feel like it, make it a passion rather than a daily job. Here, I try to emulate him.

it differently. I don't care about conventions or what people might think. A few months ago your book “Fragile come la pietra” (fragile as a rock) has been published by Sperling & Kupfer. A title that, as you said, wants to show who you really are. What does that mean? I wanted to push you to reflect on the contrast between fragile and rock. In my opinion it somehow describes how we all are: from the outside we seem like a certain type of person, but then things turn out to be different. For me it was like this: people have an idea about me based on the fact that I am a mountaineer, a strong climber. They think I'm tough, they make jokes. But I too have had problems, moments of fragility... In the book I mainly talk about this, an aspect that is usually not given much depth.

Now that you're well underway on this path, what do you like most about this job? Does Salewa support you in this too? It's a job that allows me to be in the environment I love and that leaves me the freedom to choose what to do, where and with whom. I like to decide the route to follow with a client, avoiding the classic ones frequented by everyone, but instead inventing something different and less popular: an aspect that, one could say, is a bit like a mountain guide from times gone by. Salewa supports me in everything: as an athlete, as a guide... They even lent me their car for a week, when mine broke down! Even maybe my father wouldn't have done it either. Jokes aside, I really appreciate the human aspect of it, as well as the gear. Any brand today has very good products and it is almost difficult to choose, but with them it was easy for me.

Was it difficult to write about this aspect of yourself? Actually no. I have always written notes in which I talk to myself a bit, a sort of diary. All I did was share these notes with others. I knew there would be people who would understand and I'm happy because I received several positive criticisms. Now that the winter season has started, how are you managing your days and your training? I ran away to the warmer places to climb: first in Sardinia, now I'm in Arco di Trento. This year I'm not ready to ski yet. I don't want to reopen the topic, but last year some accidents happened in the mountains, under avalanches, so now I don't really want to get back on skis. If it happens, great... But we'll see.

In Italy there are very few women who are mountain guides: in 2022 they were around 2%. In your opinion, why is it still an almost exclusively male profession? If a woman wants to have children, it is difficult for her to take this path. Maybe you start at 25, do the guide course for 5 or 6 years, then start working to repay the course... When you finish, the time for having a family has passed. And then it's a job you do as a freelancer, objectively risky, which requires you to be physically fit. The colleagues and friends who took the guide course with me had their respective girlfriends pregnant at that time: with the roles reversed, it would obviously have been impossible. Of course, if you are lucky enough to be in a couple and he works, then maybe you can stay at home for a couple of years for the maternity leave. I'm not a mother, at least not yet, but I think that due to my character I would experience

Any new projects for the new year? I would like to go back to opening some routes, I haven't done it in a while, and I certainly want to dedicate myself more and more to my great passion for long routes, seeking a bit of difficulty. There will certainly also be trips linked to these goals, but I don't yet know where, with whom or when. I am a person who does things last minute: I decide at the last minute and I don't like to decide things in advance, make announcements, create expectations... Instead I like to imagine what I want to do, live it without anyone knowing I'm there and only afterwards share it with others. It's always been like this and I don't want this thing about me to change. I need to keep this little privacy.

Icone che si incontrano

SCARPA Maestrale e Bruno Compagnet BY LISA MISCONEL

P H OTO S L AY L A K E R L E Y

Da qualche mese sugli schermi di tutti noi sono apparse le fotografie del nuovo restyling di quello scarpone capace di rimanere nel tempo costante ed inteso come il vento da cui prende il nome: Maestrale. Un’icona arancione che porta la firma di SCARPA, e che nelle fotografie in questione è accompagnata da un’altra icona: Bruno Compagnet. Simbolo della passione per la neve fresca ed il backcountry, dalla forte connessione con la montagna che lo ha portato negli anni anche a sviluppare un nuovo modo di vivere lo sci fuoripista: il suo brand, Black Crows. Per celebrare questa accoppiata d’eccezione, Il free tourer di Chamonix ha portato l’Orange Legend (Maestrale) dalla Norvegia fino alla Sicilia passando per la Val d’Aosta. Tutto è iniziato, come spesso accade alle grandi partnership, per caso. Uno ski test, degli amici in comune, e Bruno ha iniziato il suo viaggio con SCARPA.

Sciare è una cosa essenziale per la mia sopravvivenza l’inverno... Forse a causa della magia e la sorta di stato onirico in cui entri mentre scendi da una montagna coperta di un manto glitterato di neve fresca in totale libertà. Dopo così tanti anni ed infinite sciate, cosa porta avanti la tua passione? Per risponderti a questa domanda, sarei quasi tentato di mostrarti il mio feed di Instagram e lasciar parlare le immagini per me. Diciamo che al di là della bellezza in cui ti immergi, io sono anche cambiato e così ha fatto il mio modo di sciare, non è più come quando avevo 25 anni: l’attrezzatura, gli sci e la mentalità si sono evoluti e ciò che rende tutto speciale per me è tutto ciò che è compreso nello sci come la conoscenza della montagna, la condivisione di momenti belli ma anche difficili con gli amici. Insomma, se la passione evolve insieme a te può accompagnarti per una vita intera!

battibile e tutte le caratteristiche per massime performance nel backcountry. Lo scafo con tecnologia Carbon Core assicura massimo controllo, e rende il Maestrale lo scarpone da scialpinismo più leggero e dinamico grazie alle naturali proprietà del carbonio. Realizzato in Pebax Rnew da fonti rinnovabili è completamente privo di PVC. I sistemi di chiusura di alta qualità, come il Wave Closure M-LITE e il Power Strap, assicurano una calzata precisa e confortevole. Ma cosa cerca uno sciatore del calibro di Bruno in uno scarpone? “I miei criteri sono precisione, flex e movimento in salita, aspetti cruciali in uno scarpone da ski touring; non dimentichiamo poi il peso, che può essere un nemico in ambiente montano” – ci racconta. “Il Maestrale è lo scarpone che uso ogni giorno e che alterno all’F1 XT anch’esso di SCARPA per il quale opto nelle giornate più lunghe e in cui unisco touring e tratti a piedi.” Uno scarpone che si è evoluto nel tempo e che dimentichi di avere ai piedi durante le lunghe giornate in quota. Ovviamente non potevamo che concludere l’intervista con una specifica domanda a Bruno:

Quale emozione ricerchi quando sei sugli sci? Sciare è una cosa essenziale per la mia sopravvivenza l’inverno... Forse a causa della magia e la sorta di stato onirico in cui entri mentre scendi da una montagna coperta di un manto glitterato di neve fresca in totale libertà. Ma c’è anche una parte di realtà in questo sogno: la fatica dell’ascesa, lo sforzo fisico ed a volte la battaglia psicologica per arrivare in cima.

Quale sci è il migliore compagno del Maestrale secondo te? Sarò completamente onesto nel rispondere a questa domanda. Non utilizzo più scarponi da sci alpino per molte ragioni: innanzitutto perché ovviamente ho orientato la mia pratica verso lo scialpinismo e sci in alta montagna. Mi sono spostato il più lontano possibile dalle piste da sci per diventare un cacciatore di neve fresca. Per fare questo ed esplorare le montagne devi avere l’attrezzatura adeguata e gli scarponi di SCARPA rispondono perfettamente ai miei bisogni. Li indosso con tutti i modelli del mio brand Black Crows dai modelli per Big Mountain a quelli da Free Touring. Addirittura li indosso con i monosci... Uno spettacolo! In ogni caso il mio setup preferito rimane il classico duo arancio: Maestrale e Draco Freebird 183.

Qual è la tua paura più grande? La maggior parte degli uomini convive con la paura. La paura di perdere il lavoro, o la famiglia, o di invecchiare... o del futuro che ci aspetta. In generale tutto abbiamo paura della morte. Sciare sul ripido in montagna in generale ti mette in situazioni dove devi guardare in faccia la morte e accettare la tua paura per controllarla e portare a termine la discesa. Questo tipo di situazione ed esperienza non è un luogo comune nelle nostre società dove il virtuale prende sempre più spazio a discapito del reale. Non puoi scherzare o giocare quando scii in montagna. The Orange Legend Da oltre 10 anni ai piedi degli scialpinisti di ogni livello, accompagna salite e discese con un comfort di calzata im-

Reinhold Messner

is part of the Jack Wolfskin Brand Council for the protection of wilderness BY LISA MISCONEL

Defining the immensity of Reinhold Messner is not easy. A man who is recognized as one of the greatest mountaineers of all time first and foremost but who is also, as can be read from his website in the "Moments of my life" section: climber, extreme explorer, farmer, environmentalist, politician, creator of museums and author. Can a name that is known to everyone for his mountaineering exploits as much as for his immense and precious literary work stop his work after more than fifty years? Obviously not.

wife, Ellen Windemuth, founder of Waterbear, Martyna Wojciechowska, Polish journalist and Brand Ambassador of Jack Wolfskin, and Ulrich Dausien, founder of Jack Wolfskin. Experiencing the mountains is not limited to doing so through mountaineering and sport, but also includes all communities and cultures. We can see that this issue is close to Reinhold Messner's heart, we can see from the fact that he dedicated to that an entire museum, the Messner Mountain Museum Ripa in Brunico.

“The ability to make sense” is something he often repeats. That sense that is sought in mountaineering, in the useless. That sense that is necessary to give ourselves to evolve over time and always reinvent ourselves. In 2023 Reinhold Messner started a new path alongside Jack Wolfskin as a member, together with his partner Diane, of the Brand Council. This body was established to pursue the rewilding goal promoted by the outdoor brand following its brand reset. Under the motto “Rewild ourselves – Rewild the world” the council is made up of notable personalities such as, in addition to the Messner’s

“Men have lived at high altitudes for 8000 years, and we know this from Oetzi, the Similaun man found about thirty years ago buried in the glacier that bears the same name. For a few years now, together with Diane, I have dedicated myself to remote valleys such as those of Nanga Parbat. There the government is unable to provide educational facilities and the children do not have the opportunity to learn to read, write or do arithmetic and they risk, once adults, being forced to go to cities where they are subjected to lowpaid jobs and without protections. So we build

“If we are together, fear is halved and courage doubles” REINHOLD MESSNER

When we ask ourselves why Messner doesn't enjoy peace of mind after all the years in which he continued to build new projects we find the answer in this sentence. Mountaineering is a cultural fact, and therefore ageless and without an expiration date. schools, in the hope of contributing to a better future for entire communities. Projects like this are now also supported by Jack Wolfskin, who gives us the opportunity to move forward and bring mountain culture and the awareness that the responsibility linked to it belongs to each of us” he tells us.

And about “Rewild ourselves – Rewild the world”… “We have an eye on wild nature in various parts of the Earth, and often too aggressive tourism has profoundly ruined the environment and cultures. This is where bringing back the wilderness, the wild side of things, is fundamental. We want to carry out projects to return to appreciating the wild and pure side of simple things.”

In addition to supporting projects aimed at safeguarding and protecting mountain cultures and beyond, the aim of the Brand Council is to meet to discuss and find concrete solutions to the environmental problems of today. One of the first points for reflection and intervention was that of the presence of the wolf in the Alpine territory of Trentino and South Tyrol.

A mantra that is therefore applied in different ways and in different areas, with the same goal. Bringing back the wild soul – to rewild. This happens when we protect a mountain culture with that of grazing in the same way as it happens when we prevent mass tourism from distorting a natural and pure place.

Messner says: “The presence of the wolf in these areas risks destroying the mountain hut culture, rooted in Alpine communities for centuries. With the danger of the wolf and episodes of attacks on flocks, shepherds will slowly abandon the high pastures and mountain huts, thus losing not only a tradition, but also compromising biodiversity and certain mountain balances. We want to try to work on problems like this with dialogue and concrete solutions that bring the two parties in question represented by animal rights activists and shepherds to agree.”

“As we read in the latest book edited by Diane and I, “The sense of the useless”, the concept of renunciation is very important. Renunciation not only in mountaineering where you give up oxygen, Sherpas, or a project that is too risky or unethical. Even in everyday life, knowing how to give up is one of the most important things.” “Mountaineering is a cultural fact and I hope I have demonstrated it with my books and transmitted it for years and years as I see it.” When we ask ourselves why Messner doesn't enjoy peace of mind after all the years in which he continued to build new projects we find the answer in this sentence. Mountaineering is a cultural fact, and therefore ageless and without an expiration date.

To do this, the different origins and backgrounds of the board members is decisive. Those who have skills in the environmental field, those who know how to best communicate intentions and those who have contacts with politics have the final say in this type of problem. The work is in progress, it started in spring and continued during ISPO with meetings and steps forward.

The revolution is born in the middle of the Alps Crazy behind the scenes in Valtellina It is a well-known fact that Italy is the place with the most incredible entrepreneurial stories. Maybe it is all about the passion that distinguishes our people and perhaps the pinch of madness that is in each of us. We know the story of Valeria Colturi and her brand, Crazy, born within the walls of her home when, as an athlete, fed up with the usual cross-country skiing and mountaineering clothing, she began to create her line. Almost 25 years have passed since then, and for the launch of the new FW24/25 collection the brand brought all its energy to Milan, the international fashion capital, to affirm its technical nature with a fashion soul. A parade in perfect Crazy style with dancers, music and lights revealed the highlights of the collection for next winter where the use of the logo changes and lines and colors are renewed.

here in front of the new Crazy’s headquarters: her clothing brand with high performance and refined design for outdoor sports. The building in which the ideas for the collections are born and take shape reflects the soul of the brand in every way. Nothing is left to chance and you can notice unusual structural details such as curved wooden walls, wallpaper with the same motifs as Crazy clothing. And even pink walls, fluorescent fixtures and a forest to calm and relax the mind of the team made up of 30 specialists, most of whom were born and raised in Valtellina. You would expect Valeria to have a new, private and different office... And instead we find her desk in the office next to that of all the other creatives of the team, without distinctions or separations. Valeria says that continuous discussion with the team is essential for her, and isolating herself would not be effective for the type of process that Crazy products require. The idea of a pattern, drawn by Valeria on a digital tablet with hundreds of modifications and adjustments, is then passed to the graphic designer who checks its feasibility on fabric. We go down accompanied by Valeria alongside Luca Salini, her partner in life who carries out the brand's mission with her, towards the production area dedicated to small productions and prototyping. Here Valeria is completely at ease: fabric cutting machinery, sewing machines, printers and laser cutting

The evening in Milan then gives way the next day to white peaks and vines: we are in Tirano, a town in the Valtellina area which has just under 10,000 inhabitants and is about 40km far away from Bormio. The wide valley in which it stands allows the sun to illuminate the town city center as well as the vines and pastures that reach the first timid snow of this November. Since Valeria sewed every request from the shops in Bormio by hand in her workshop, things have changed a bit and today we are

machines are no secret to her and, although over the years production systems have evolved from the single sewing machine, it almost seems more comfortable there than in the offices in front of the screen.

stainability is also something that finds its roots in a tradition of respect for the material. Nothing is wasted, just like it used to be. The creative offices realize real puzzles to optimize the use of fabrics and obtain fragments of fabric from waste to create accessories. This is just one of the additional processes necessary to avoid waste and, as Valeria tells us, it is neither easy nor convenient, but it can be done. We are not just talking about a limited, albeit large, production, but she tells us that with the will, attention and the right digital media, this type of work can be carried out on a much larger scale. The production is 100% made in Europe, in the company-owned factory located in Romania. The proximity allows the headquarters to have continuous contact with production, in order to thoroughly control every detail of the products and also follow the production conditions with all the connected factors. The creative office warehouse is full of catalogues, fabrics, colours.

“Many times the final product differs greatly from a designer's idea, perhaps because it is not achievable, because the pattern maker interprets the idea in his own way, the seamstress who has to sew it changes it again and in the end the result is different. We are very jealous of the initial idea and we manage to do this well because all the products are exactly as I imagined them. This is quite difficult to find except in very small companies that still retain all the passion like we do. (...) Every product you see is designed by me and my team, I do the research for fabrics and accessories as I am a "nerd" in this field and I fill myself with tons of fabrics and accessories.” – Valeria Colturi The hours and the stories pass by and I am increasingly convinced that the issue of su-

“I have selections from thirty years ago that in the end still say something. Everything comes in handy, I never throw anything away. (...) We handle the pattern making, tailoring and everything in-house until we have the perfect fit to start large-scale production. We demand a lot, but by seeing things and finding defects we try to produce garments with a very accurate fit and which first of all satisfy our needs, because we wear Crazy in life inside and outside the office.”

technical outdoor clothing

2013 The first 100% elastic jacket 2021 The lightest jacket in the world These important records represent the technical aspect of the brand, a pioneer in the fast & light sector, especially in ski mountaineering, which many other brands have taken inspiration from to improve their collections. Fresh from a change of image but not of direction, which changed the logo and the claim, Crazy wants to be known today as a brand positioned exactly halfway between very high technical quality and a refined and unique style. This is why “Performance mountainwear from the Italian Alps” wants to encompass all these qualities and communicate them with a zebra motif, bright colors and artistic collaborations and the message comes to us loud and clear: only Crazy more and more Crazy!

The family atmosphere could fool us into thinking that it is a small company, but the truth is that Crazy is present in 8 European countries and even in the United States. Luca Salini, who specifically takes care of the entire administrative part of the company as CEO, highlights some fundamental steps in the history of the brand.

Ferrino Extreme 2 At the Wind Tunnel today as in 1982 BY C H I A R A B E R E T TA

There is something new from Ferrino: it is the Extreme 2 ultra light high altitude tent, a product without equal on the market. With its aerodynamic shapes and a weight of just 890 grams (which becomes 800 without bag and poles), this innovative tent was designed by the research and development team in collaboration with Basque mountaineer Alex Txikon, who has been using Ferrino tents for years in his winter expeditions to the eight-thousanders of the world. The test carried out in the Pininfarina Wind Tunnel in Grugliasco (Turin), one of the few in the world, was decisive. Here the tent demonstrated that it has high wind resistance, up to 150km/h, and can effectively guarantee safety, stability and comfort even in the most extreme conditions. Ferrino is a reference brand on the market for outdoor equipment and technical clothing, but «the tent is our iconic product, our DNA» says Ferrino’s CEO Anna Ferrino. It has been like this since the Seventies, when the Piedmont-based company began making mountaineering tents. The first are robust Canadian ones, made of nylon. The great evolution of the product took place during the very long collaboration between Ferrino and Reinhold Messner since 1979. The mountaineer, involved in climbing all the eight-thousanders of the world, needed to approach the ascents in lighter mountaineering conditions and therefore turned to Ferrino to study a new type of tent suitable for the purpose. In fact, for mountaineers, Fer-

rino is often a sort of tailoring shop: the company also creates tailor-made equipment for expeditions, whether made from scratch or modified to existing equipment. It is also a way to carry out research and development, as demonstrated by the fact that these new products designed for extreme environments and conditions sometimes become a starting point for other products which then end up in the catalogue. The result of the long collaboration between Ferrino and Messner was the creation of extremely light and high performing mountain tents with a dome or geodesic system, an innovative type of roof for the time and which in those years was studied mainly in the United States. It was understood that these new shapes could perform better than traditional ones if exposed to strong high altitude winds, but definitive confirmation came in the first half of the 1980s with the first test in the Pininfarina Wind Tunnel just outside Turin. The first of a series, in reality: over the decades the collaboration between Ferrino and the Pininfarina Wind Tunnel has allowed the engineers to continue to evaluate and optimize wind resistance, aerodynamics and stability of the tents, so as to always offer more reliable and performing products. This year the tests in the Pininfarina Wind Tunnel were also carried out on the new tent from the Ferrino Extreme 2 collection, whose name, among other things, takes up that of the historic model tested in this same place and used by Messner starting from

1982. «Tents really fascinate me» says Anna Ferrino. «It has a longevity that few everyday items have: it has its roots in very distant centuries, just think of the nomadic populations, the Roman camps. It is a house-refuge with a strong meaning, which evokes emotions, that offers immersive experiences.» And which, when used at high altitudes and in prohibitive conditions, can make the difference between life and death. «For mountaineers, feeling safe in the tent is essential, it's as if it were an escape pod. We are very aware of this and therefore we try to act with a great sense of responsibility. Ferrino has always been very attentive to safety in the mountains: we are not interested in following market trends at all costs, but we do so if we think there can be an advantage without safety risks.» Ferrino products are tested in the laboratory and also outdoors thanks to its Ambassadors, whose feedback is a precious tool in the research and development process, but when there is a significant design evolution «we believe it is appropriate to also carry out empirical tests of this type» Anna Ferrino explains to me while we are in the Pininfarina Wind Tunnel about to witness the tests on the Extreme 2. This innovative product was created to respond to a widespread desire among mountaineers: to have extreme and resistant tents, but at the same time increasingly lighter. A challenge that Ferrino has taken up and won, given that the Extreme 2 is presented as the most re-

sistant and lightest two-person high altitude tent on the market. The tent (that when it’s closed fits into a 36x12 centimeter case) has, among other things, floor and inserts in 20.000mm Bio-Based Dyneema Fiber, Ecosensor Recycled Nylon Membrane flysheet, taped seams to guarantee total waterproofness and tape buttonholes on the corners of the floor to anchor the tent even with skis and ice axes. Particularly innovative is the Easton carbon pole, very light and high performing and which allows quick and safe set up even in demanding conditions, without the risk of losing elements of the tent. There is also a system of "multi point" reflective tie rods which prevents breakage and deformation of the poles in case of strong winds. Alex Txikon has also been present at the tests on the Extreme 2 at the Pininfarina Wind Tunnel, who thanks to his long experience on the highest mountains in the world knows well how important the stability and quality of a tent is in extreme environments. In 2016, the Spanish mountaineer participated in the first winter ascent of Nanga Parbat with Simone Moro, Ali Sadpara and Tamara Lunger (who stopped just below the summit). At the beginning of 2023, however, Txikon reached the summit of Manaslu in winter on his third attempt, without the use of oxygen tanks and completing the ascent and descent in less than 60 hours. Alex, what kind of conditions do you usually find on your expeditions? I have been doing winter expeditions for about twelve years, but in recent years the conditions have changed completely. In the past, winters were very stable, while now it is the opposite. In a week you can find heavy snowfalls, very strong winds... Conditions can change a lot even within the same day. It's not easy. Even if we receive weather forecasts daily, we then need

to know how to adapt to the real weather. Normally at 4000-5000 meters above sea level there is a temperature of -20°C at night. During the day in the higher fields it can be -15 to -25°C and the winds can become very strong, like explosions. It happened last winter: I had never seen such strong winds, but in recent years the winter climate has changed. One year we are covered in snow on Manaslu, the next there is no precipitation. That’s absurd. Tell us more about your latest expedition to Manaslu. The expedition to Manaslu was born, I might say, from a mistake. After the expedition to Nanga Parbat in 2016 we felt positive and euphoric, we thought about climbing Everest, K2. In my opinion this was a mistake, but opportunities arise from mistakes. Now that years have passed, and after the failed attempts on Everest and K2, I understand that if we had immediately gone from Nanga Parbat to Manaslu or other peaks things would have been different. We knew that Manaslu is an easy mountain, but we made the first attempt in 2020-21, during the pandemic, so it wasn't easy. The conditions were good at the beginning of January and so we thought about adjusting the timing of the second expedition accordingly, but in the end it was not possible to do anything due to the great amount of snow. The conditions changed completely from the first to the second attempt. When we finally succeeded, we didn't do anything different than in the past. We were lucky with the weather, as we hadn't been in the previous six years. Playing with fate can be very dangerous, but in recent years we have worked and committed ourselves and finally luck has arrived. It's strange, because after reaching the top you feel completely empty. It's normal for us mountaineers to try and try again many times without success, but that time you actually reach the top you ask yourself: what now?

Speaking of which: what's your next project? I am working for Annapurna. I didn't plan on doing any other winter expeditions, but then I returned to the Baltoro area, in Pakistan, and it came to me as an inspiration. It's like when you like a person and have butterflies in your stomach: even expeditions are born with this same feeling. The gear you use on your winter expeditions is lifesaving, literally. How important is the tent? You can't imagine how much I trust my equipment, for example Ferrino. During expeditions I'm always under pressure: it's what allows me to bring out the best version of myself, to make the right decisions. When I'm close to the camp, regardless of the weather, this pressure eases: I know I will survive. When I'm inside the tent it's a nice moment: I can rest, regain my strength and also feel a little safer, more alive, because I can melt the ice, drink, prepare what I need... The nights are difficult, especially in winter, and not only because of the low temperatures and lack of oxygen. In my opinion there is no machine more perfect than the human body, but when you are at high altitudes even this perfect machine struggles to function well. What features are you looking for in a tent? I like that the spaces inside are well organized. And then it must be resistant and give me security. I really trust Ferrino tents, a brand that has great experience and that I have known since I was a child: I have used its products since 2011, when I started doing winter expeditions. If you trust your base camp and set it up well, it doesn't matter if the wind blows at one hundred kilometers per hour: you know that the camp will not be destroyed, and this is fundamental. The truth is that when you make an ascent, the summit is the highest point you reach, but it is not the "true summit": that is the return to base camp.

Tutto ciò che è indimenticabile richiede tempo Capanna Dosdè rivive con Braulio TEXT MARIA LAURENTI PHOTOS GIACOMO MENEGHELLO

An authentic high altitude jewel, at 2824 meters high in the heart of Val Viola, is now open, thanks to an extraordinary project for the benefit of the Valtellina community. This unique creation was possible thanks to the exceptional collaboration between Braulio and Bormio’s CAI. The mountain, in its breathtaking variety, seems made to guard small secrets. This is how it breaches the heart, with its upward impulses in which the human is silent and the gaze wanders and no matter how hard he tries he finds no repetitions. The same is true for Val Viola, a branch of Valtellina colored by the curves of the larches and the edges of the peaks. It is up there, in the even narrowest branch of Val Cantone in Dosdè, that there is a detail with a red roof full of secrets collected from a history spanning more than a century. Dosdè refuge.

at Arnoga. There, a narrow asphalt toll road marks the entrance to Val Viola. After passing the Altumeria huts, a dirt road gently enters towards Val Cantone in Dosdè. It is beyond the Alp and the Federico Dosdè refuge that the bends of the new path begin, widened and arranged by Bormio’s CAI and Braulio. Starting from a detailed analysis of the path from Valdisotto to Capanna Dosdè, the restoration developed with a view to creating a route suitable for both hikers and specific vehicles, with the aim of ensuring easy future maintenance. The new path now runs through the center of the valley, easier and gentler, so much so that it can be traveled by e-bike. It goes up gently towards the pass, with stones and rocks well placed by the work done and with short ramps just so as not to take away the taste of a bit of effort. The refuge appears only at the end, easily recognizable by its now scarlet roof, inspired by Braulio's rich palette. From Braulio's perspective, the restored bivouac aims to serve not only as a refuge for mountaineers tackling impressive climbs, but also as a crossing point for those crossing the great expanses of this pass, part of Grande Sentiero Italia, a hiking route of 6166 kilometers that crosses the entire Italian territory passing through six UNESCO heritage sites. Meadows, waterfalls, panoramic lakes, canyons, the absolute beauty of nature surrounds every corner, making the experience unforgettable for everyone, whether you are an expert hiker or a beginner.

Perched at 2884m high in the heart of the Stelvio National Park, the refuge was built in 1890 by Milan’s CAI and in its more than one hundred year life it has experienced a triple intervention by Bormio’s CAI. The first in 1955, then another in 1982 and finally today, in 2023, with an initiative in collaboration with Braulio, producer of the bitter that bears the same name which has its roots in those same mountains. The restoration, almost mirroring the rules of the mountain, which although offering shortcuts does not offer effortless goals, also took care of the trail from Valdisotto to the refuge. Taking care of the path, after all, also means taking care of the destination and who must reach it. This is especially true if you embrace the idea of a mountain to be savored, as the Alpine community and the brand from Valtellina do, which has made its core a true philosophy of slowness. Climbing up Valtellina towards Livigno, among the villages of Valdidentro, you arrive

The president of Bormio’s CAI commented on the project: "At CAI we promote the valorization of mountain culture and underline the importance of respecting and preserving its environmental, historical and cultural heritage. Our mission is evident in projects such as the restoration of Capanna Dosdè with the support of Braulio, which aims to make the mountain an outdoor museum accessible to all. It fills us with immense pride and honor to be custodians of such an extraordinary treasure, one of the countless jewels of our region.”

Here’s the words of Ludovica Riciputi, Amari Global Marketing Manager: "With the inauguration of Capanna Dosdè, Braulio not only reaffirms the importance of his bond with the Valtellina area, but also the inestimable value of time in creating something unforgettable. In an era in which everything seems to speed up, the mountains teach us that the most beautiful and profound things take time. It's a lesson every hiker understands when they stop to observe unique details along the trail; a truth that the craftsman respects, dedicating days and nights to perfect every single creation. And that's exactly why Braulio waits patiently for months and months in the barrel: to make sure every drop is perfect. The restoration of this bivouac, located between the meeting of two valleys and loved by many mountain enthusiasts, symbolizes not only Braulio's deep bond with the Valtellina community, which has lasted for over 150 years, but also the awareness that the most authentic and profound need the right amount of time to be fully enjoyed."

The journey to Capanna Dosdé requires an excursion of approximately two and a half hours. However, the beautiful glaciers and peaks make the journey a gentle stroll through beauty. The path, marked by green pastures, waterfalls and moraines, promises a rich and evocative experience. With this project Braulio invites travelers to experience the timeless charm of Valtellina, with the slowness necessary to savor moments that last forever.

PHOTOS ALEX D’EMILIA

To summarize in short the spirit of Benedikt Böhm, it would be enough to tell you how this interview was done: sitting at the table for lunch, having just arrived from weeks of meetings around Europe the day before facing his fourth Mezzalama, he didn't allowed a minute to be wasted. I present to you the exact embodiment of the Dynafit spirit, its CEO. The first athlete to represent the brand, he did a lot of things before reaching the top step. In this job we journalists know many important people, but Benedikt is certainly one of those you remember: the passion, the energy with which he speaks and the incredible humility are significant values, especially if your responsibilities are like those of a CEO of his caliber.

med by the bubbly support of Gressoney-La Trinit is a team that has done quite a bit of racing on the Gran Course, they're called the Dynafit Vintage Trio. 1/3 American with Pete Swenson, 1/3 Spanish with Javier Martìn de Villa and 1/3 German with Benedikt Böhm. All three veterans have each been part of their own nation's team in the past and have worked at Dynafit. Another team united by the same passion is that of Mezzalama and Dynafit, created in 2015 and continued to this day, improving year after year. “I reached out to Lara and Adriano (Adriano Favre and his wife Lara Dulicchio, ed) and I said to them: hey, we love your race. Can we be a main sponsor? After participating in my first Mezzalama I completely fell in love with it and I couldn't find a better union for our brand with an event of this kind. I even find that a race like this is important for our society: it is important that we continue to explore risks and limits and that, for once, we cannot control everything. True alpine terrain and some of the most incredible peaks in all the Alps, to be shared between three friends: what could be more beautiful?”

The XXIII edition of the king of the Grand Course Trophy, Mezzalama, was the first in years to bring back the original route thanks to the favorable conditions and the immense effort of the Cervinia guides. 6.30am, 209 teams at the most sought-after starting line in classic ski mountaineering.

And I don't waste time in anything. I mean, life is fast. te and a mountaineer. We often wonder how certain people manage to train and work but in this case everything the bar is very high...

it's about two things: one is I haven't seen my family enough, especially the kids. But I also realized I am like that. I cannot fight it. I wouldn't be happy if I repressed my dreams and needs. This is why I want the moments I spend with my loved ones to be characterized by quality and I live them intensely. And I experience this same intensity in the mountains, where sometimes the risks are high and people wonder if it's worth it. My answer is: it is worth living a life with risks, because this is what gives you emotions and intensity. The other regret I had, and which I am now working on, is that I didn't do everything I could for the planet I love. For this reason I came into contact with WWF and became its spokesperson through an initiative of mine called "Helping Bands". It's something I will carry on for the rest of my life and it is worth all the effort, time and money it requires.

You manage to put together work, training, expeditions. But how do you do it and, above all, why? Who said I can manage? (laughs ed.) It's just a combination of a very intense life. So meaning that I don't waste any time. I sleep very little. Usually I really sleep five hours max. And then my day starts immediately. And I don't waste time in anything. I mean, life is fast. I try to compress and I always try to do my trainings in the morning. So even sometimes at 3 or 4am, so very early. But I don't have to force myself. It's such a part of my efficiency, of my power and of my energy. Then I go down and I'm fresh and then I work and usually don't stop working until I go to bed. So on weekends I try to get the kids a little bit sometimes. And try to have an intense quality time with them because I'm not so much home. And so I try to balance. But it's not always perfectly working. But most of the time it's okay. It has become a little bit my lifestyle, even though I know it's it also has some downsides. I always have the feeling I have to be productive and something has to do something and of course this is sometimes a little bit exhausting, not only for me, but for my family and for others. And sometimes I think also for the employees. (laughs ed.)

Lifetime Guarantee is a guarantee that goes beyond the two years required by law and covers the entire life cycle of the product. Furthermore, since last October, Dynafit has introduced a ten-year warranty for the repair of a wide range of products. Why and what does it mean? The production of clothing has doubled in the last 10 years, while their durability has halved over time. We want our products to be lifelong companions for enthusiasts, who can wear them remembering having climbed a mountain or completed a journey. For this reason, throughout the company we are going through a phase of great transition and transformation: the entire production architecture is different, also aimed at creating solutions such as patches. Do you have a hole? It’s an excuse to personalize your garment with a patch that identifies you and at the same time shouts: “Hey! I made this hole while climbing, and I'm proud of it." We hope that this becomes a trend because it is important to remember: there is nothing more sustainable than what you already have in your wardrobe, there is no recycling, organic or renewable sources that matter. We have between 25 and 30,000 products on average in our homes and we should occasionally reflect on the meaning of owning so many things. What makes us happy? The things we own or the moments we experience?

little you can contribute to something big, the band (hence the name Helping Bands, ed.) is simply a symbol that reminds you that even a little is still something. I have often visited these protected areas and I know very well who is behind them as well as the WWF managers, so I know that the facts are there and they are concrete. There is often a tendency to believe that either you do everything or nothing: for example traveling, like if you don’t stop moving by car, plane, etc. everything else is useless. I'm totally aware that if I'm going to Nepal with an airplane or whatever I'm living a lifestyle. My work itself is within an industry. We all have an impact, but it is about perspectives and intentions. My intention is to improve where I can. Today's man is not ready to change everything and go back to thirty years ago, we have needs that can only change with time. But we can try to do better where there is room for improvement. When I go to the mountains with friends and colleagues everyone makes fun of me for my clothes and outdated equipment when I could have the complete set up just released on the market. But the thing I like is that those products have a value that goes beyond their intrinsic nature: they are parts of me, they accompanied me on important adventures in my life. This is precisely where Dynafit's commitment to the Lifetime Guarantee comes from.

Left Right United by turns BY TOMMASO BERNACCHI, LISA MISCONEL PHOTOS ED BLOMFIELD, SAM INGLES

“I think the best thing of snowboarding these days is that there are so many ways to approach it. Now that the first generation of “smash everything up” has grown up, the next wave of snowboarding is already happening: you have the big air guys, the guy that just wants to carve, or to splitboard, the one that hates powder or steep resorts and just wants the flattest pistes. We want to show that this variety is all linked together turning on the snowboard.” – Sam McMahon

job, which the director felt ready to realize only after 10 years of experience. In an era dictated by thirty-second clips for social media, it is not easy to entertain a viewer for twenty minutes watching the same video. “If you want to make movies you better be crazy good! You got to really believe in it” explains Sam. In this his fast pace style plays a winning role: rhythm, continuous scene changes and variations in techniques, then again a spectafular location like Norway and Japan. Five years of filming which, as always, result in a handful of minutes of video after many - brutal - cuts.

We recently had the opportunity to have a chat with Samuel McMahon about his latest snowboard movie made together with the Nidecker team, "Left Right". Released on online platforms at the end of November and previewed at various film festivals, including the Freeride Film Festival Tour around Europe.

“Five years in 20 minutes… You cut down and you cut down and you cut down… “Killing your darlings” is the right expression. The thing you like the most is the thing you need to let go.”

What can be defined as the result of almost five years of work by Sam together with the Nidecker guys, is an ode to the simplest yet the most sublime movement that can be performed on a snowboard: turning. For once, the protagonists of the film are not 20 meter jumps, quadruple corks or 15 meter rails, but the turns: what Sam is truly passionate about. A difficult

Two trips to Norway with the whole team and one to Japan, as well as some filming on the French Alps of Avoriaz together with Dave Crozier and Mat Crepel. Sam confesses that the intention was to take inspiration from old video-zines, two different chapters that follow different riding genres, differentiating the shots between steadycam, drone and tripod.

“The movie is split into different genres: resort, turns, freeride, powder and Nidecker locals in Japan. The whole thing is a video-zine, just like a magazine. You show what you want to show and you make it fit. One thing I wanted to do from the start was to show each genre with a different technique so the resort stuff is very moving and steadycam shots. Freeride stuff is mostly from French boys with a great drone pilot. The tripod mounted stuff is also what I can do best.” “The movie is split into different genres: resort, turns, freeride, powder and Nidecker locals in Japan.

the locations always play a very important role in the project: they are the ones that make you dream of going snowboarding with friends. Tromsø and Hokkaido, these two cities so distant and different from each other on a cultural level, but with a very similar characteristic: the community. “Especially in Tromso and Hokkaido, you feel that “island community”. They are so extreme with cold, daylife, darkness. The people that you meet there are so into the place. These people are so excited to have you there.”

We also talked about the various riders that are pictured, how important it was to give space, not only to the quality of riding, but above all to the personality of each of them to obtain a fun result that conveys an emotion. A detail that is often overlooked, thus ending up with entire monotonous clips without any variation. He gives me the example of John Myhre from the Nidecker team, personally picked by Sam for his creative aptitude as well as his skills on the board. He told me about how he didn't want to plan any clips with him but just hit the record button and let the magic happen.

Twenty-two minutes of snowboarding that gather all the magic and inspiration reminding us that no matter what we do, whether we are in a resort in the Alps, in meters of Giapow or on the Norwegian fjords, we will still be there tracing turns on the snow, united by same strong passion.

“The best mountaineer? The one who respects the mountain and leaves it as he found it.” Hervé Barmasse BY M A R TA M A N ZO N I P H OTO S M A R C O S PATA R O

“We are on the Monte Rosa massif: from here we see the Western Breithorn, the Central Breithorn, and the Eastern Breithorn. Then, at the bottom, you can notice that the rock is cut cleanly: that is La Roccia Nera, a mountain located in the Pennine Alps, also in the Monte Rosa group, and which is another four thousand-meter peak. Then we have Pollux (4092m), that smaller, lower pyramid, while those two mountains on the left are the Lyskamm, Western and Eastern, also four thousand meters high. The one you see larger on the right is Castor (4228m). You can also see Capanna Margherita, the highest refuge in Europe: it's that little triangle that looks like a stone" says our exceptional guide, Hervé Barmasse. Roped with him today we will climb to the top of the Breithorn, and live two days immersed in incredible mountains. Professional mountaineer, writer and director, Hervé Barmasse is a Montura athlete, a brand born in Rovereto, which has become a reference for technical mountain products, also known in the world of mountain guides and mountain rescue operators, as well as in the cycling and sailing sectors. A mountain guide on the Matterhorn for four generations, Hervé Barmasse's name is linked to im-

portant ascents, in Italy and around the world. “Unlike this year, where the conditions are quite good thanks to a spring during which it snowed at high altitude, last year you have to imagine that in the last part of the Breithorn there were small streams of water, due how hot it was. What you see now that is white, it was all black back then. I had never seen the glacier like this in my entire life. It was truly impressive, as the scientists' data also shows. We guides always say that, living in the mountains every day, we are like a thermometer of the climate emergency, given that we observe changes that have never occurred before” continues the mountaineer from the Aosta Valley. We start to climb. While we walk we have the opportunity to learn about the Matterhorn told by those who know its every secret. Hervé remembers the route opened on the famous mountain in a team with his father Marco, “Couloir Barmasse”, as it was called, not by him, but by others, in consideration of the composition of the team. The same route was also the protagonist of the movie "Linea Continua", the mountaineer's first experience as a director. Barmasse also recounted his love for this mountain in the book "Cervino, la montagna leggendaria" published by Rizzoli. “Last year we risked drought in the Po Valley, I

wonder why we don't equip ourselves with a desalination plant. Thinking about the future means realizing that where in Breuil Cervinia, when I was a kid, there was one and a half meters of snow in November, now we need to shoot artificial snow. The idea is to diversify tourism, just like when it was born, given that it existed even before the ski boom. Today people also want something else, the sensitivity towards respect for the territory is increasing and we need to develop sustainable tourism. If you don't try to propose a change, it means that you don't think it can really exist” says Barmasse as we take a break to put on our crampons. We meet many tourists along the way, fully dressed in the most fashionable outdoor brands, accompanied by guides. Near the Alpine Crossing, some foreigners stood in sneakers and casual clothes. At times it almost feels like being in an amusement park, rather than in the mountains. “I remember that twenty years ago, until almost the end of July, we still trained on the Italian side, with the winter snow, and we went down to Plan Maison, on skis. Last year, for the first time in history, they had to close the ski facilities, since it was no longer freezing, and you have to consider that this is the highest glacier in the Alps, let alone how the others were. Once upon a time, when

the temperature was recorded above three thousand five hundred metres, we said it was hot, while today it is recorded in the Alps above five thousand metres. Until last week people skied here shirtless, dripping with sweat. There are many things that are not normal.” We listen to Hervé and continue, with Klein Matterhorn accompanying us during the climb. The slope becomes steeper and the effort increases. It's a nice feeling, that of not being able to control everything, giving up an idea of perfection, staying outside the rules of the world imposed by society. “It would be nice if there were more protected areas and natural parks. When I go to some places in the Apennines, it seems to me that they take the Alps as a reference model for tourism, while I believe that their advantage is precisely that of not being like the Alps. The Apennines, with their

charm, can represent tourism in the future, different from the one of the Alps, characterized by many infrastructures and within everyone's reach, for those who want a certain type of mountain, nature and outdoors. Some are realizing it: in winter the Apennines are full of foreigners who go ski mountaineering” Barmasse offers his point of view, which is fully acceptable. A perspective that takes into account today's context, the new points of view that have formed, and the alarm raised by the environment. Someone asks how much elevation gain we have made: his device doesn't work. In our society, performance has become an obsession. “It is not certain that all this technology will be useful when needed. I believe that relying solely on phones, on apps, is not a good idea. It happened several times that when you had to call for help, the phone didn't work. In the mountains, in some places, there are

gaps in satellite coverage. Technology improves and helps us do things we couldn't do before, but it's better not to rely on it alone. Knowing how to use a compass can still be useful, there are skills that a person should always have. We trust the weather forecasts, but they are a prediction, they can change. In the mountains the weather also changes suddenly" explains Hervé Barmasse as we reach the summit. I fill my eyes with this skyline. The wind makes me feel alive. We begin the descent, from the same route from which we ascended. With his speeches, Hervé encourages people to think critically, to make conscious choices, about the environment and beyond. “Few mountaineers talk about the enormous amount of rubbish that is found on all eight-thousander peaks, from where the normal, easiest routes start and where mass mountaineering occurs” clarifies the

Aosta Valley mountaineer. There are disconcerting images of K2 on the internet, which well represent the extent of the problem of waste accumulation. The walk that takes us to the Duca degli Abruzzi refuge at Oriondé is a new moment to reflect. “I am privileged and I consider myself a very lucky person: I can try to make my dreams come true, something that not everyone is allowed to do. Luck is a sort of taboo in the world of mountaineering: it is a component of this activity, but no one talks about it. In Pakistan, in Shimshall, I risked dying when part of the mountain I was on collapsed on me" recalls Barmasse. At the refuge, which is located on a plateau called Riondé, we find a warm welcome. After dinner Hervé shows us some videos of his experiences: adventures that gave him the opportunity to grow, not as a mountaineer, but from point of view of some known issues, which are taken for

granted, or to which no meaning is attributed, but that in reality are important in life. “At sixteen, I wanted to become a skiing champion: I wanted to win the Olympics and be the new Alberto Tomba. However, life can be harsh, and so, at one hundred and twenty miles per hour, I crashed into an iron pole, which prevailed. The consequence was a head injury, and many operations, especially on the knees. I no longer had the opportunity to ski, and at that moment I found myself at a crossroads: I had to decide what to do with my life, which sometimes slams the door in your face, but also presents you with new opportunities. My father, who had previously not wanted me to become a mountaineer, looked me in the eyes and told me to get over the accident, because he wanted to take me to climb the most beautiful mountain in the world. The Matterhorn represents the idea of the perfect mountain: it is the

only one that is used to describe other mountains in the world. For example, Fitz Roy is said to be the Matterhorn of Patagonia” Hervé is a good orator and captures our attention with his stories, while outside the stars light up the night. “When my father took me on the Matterhorn, it changed my life. I first became a mountain guide and then mountaineering became my life, allowing me to travel the world, deal with different cultures, religions, different traditions, and therefore grow as a person." The next morning at dawn we meet Nani Gomez outside the refuge, and we join her in silence in her yoga practice. We meditate, we remain in the quiet, we realize what is already there, we welcome the pure beauty of the mountains, we listen to how we are doing, and we leave space in our hearts for the emotions of these days.

No place like home

The Indian Summer on Breithorn of François Cazzanelli and Leonardo Gheza BY LISA MISCONEL P H OTO S DA M I A N O L E VAT I , TO P O L EO N A R D O G H E Z A

François Cazzanelli, together with his friend and partner Leonardo Gheza, traced the most direct route on the north face of the Central Breithorn, "Estate Indiana” (Indian summer ed). Yet another success completed in "clean" style on the home mountains which, as François tells us, always have something unexplored that can be approached and fascinated by.

“Ever since I approached mountaineering, my dad always told me about the north of the Breithorn as a perfect place for ice and mixed climbing. I've had this route in mind for a while, a very obvious route.” As always, finding the right day proved to be one of the trickiest steps. The window of good weather, the ice conditions, the availability of the rope team members were factors that never seemed to intersect, almost as if it were a curse. Then finally came September 30th 2023, the perfect day: the unusual heat proved to be a favorable factor, given the northern exposure of the route and the decidedly cold temperatures typical of September, but not this year. Hence the name Indian Summer. The right company, the right day and the perfect set up: La Sportiva G-Tech and Supercouloir. To face the unknown climb only friends and ice screws. In fact, Indian Summer, although courted from afar for some time, was opened on sight by the two. 800m of ascent completed in less than twelve hours, starting at a quarter past five from the Guide del Cervino refuge, almost 5 hours of approach crossing the Unterer Theodulgletscher and Triftjigletscher glaciers to then arrive, after mixed and ice pitches of great beauty and difficulty, at the top of Torre Maggiore where the route ends, in perfect time for sunset.

There are ambitious projects that arise from studying maps of distant lands. Projects with an oriental flavor that involve long journeys accompanied by mules loaded with luggage. They are high lands, different cultures. Then there are ideas that take root in our minds day after day at the sight of that mountain so close and so well known but you are never sure you know it fully. François has always seen that line: perfect, logical. Almost astounded by the fact that no one had climbed it yet (we will discover the reason later, as it is a route with a M8 AI5 R grade, ed). The name of François Cazzanelli is not new to us: born and raised at the foot of the Matterhorn immersed in the famous mountaineering culture of the area and in a family that has been linked to the profession of Alpine Guide for more than a century, he is today part of the Matterhorn Alpine Guides and mountaineer recognized at national and international level accompanied by La Sportiva. Also part of the La Spo family is Leonardo Gheza, the other protagonist of this new line.

What was the best moment in this adventure? François: There are two. The first is when I faced the hardest pitch, which beyond being a really good pitch, is no joke. When I got there Leo said to me “Don't worry! Now let's get back on the ice, you just have to pass a small slab and it's done." In reality that wasn't a small slab but rather an overhang, a large rock that I had to climb with my bare hands without wearing too much protection, but I set off with serenity thanks to Leo's words and so, even given the difficulties, I took a deep breath and went for it. One of the best pitches I've ever done. The most beautiful moment was certainly the last part: a place where I have been hundreds of times but it had never happened to me to see it like this at sunset with that light. There we also met up with Paolo and Damiano who followed us throughout the climb with drones, it was a nice moment. It's true that Leo and I climbed the route, but even though we couldn't see or hear, the guys followed us step by step... It was a great team effort.

for adventure. The desire to discover something more. (...) I’ve been on that same spot on Breithorn thousands of times, but I had never passed there exactly at sunset as happened last night. And that is the extraordinary in the ordinary. (...) Opening a route on your home mountains gives you the opportunity to share it with a lot of people: with my family, with my friends, with those who frequent the valley and with those who live there. With all the people who see these mountains.” More and more often, given the climate emergencies in which we are front-line players, we talk about the need to give up distant journeys and find the unexplored near us. Media effectiveness? Shouldn't that be the goal for a mountain climber? “In the end I go to the mountains because I feel good, because it's my life and my passion. It's the fire I have inside and as long as I'm lucky enough to find the same satisfaction going on the Breithorn as on the other side of the world I'm happy with myself.” How did you choose your partner for this project? Leo is one of those people with whom I shared an expedition in 2021 and with whom there has always been a special feeling, without needing to hear from you much or see each other often. He's one of those people who maybe we haven't seen in a while but we launch into a project with each other and it feels like we've been together forever. I had this idea, I proposed it to Leo and after about a month, when the right day arrived, he came at my home in no time and we left together. “The Breithorn face is difficult to read, finding your way around there is really complicated. What Ugo Manera called Torre Maggiore, where millions of climbers pass every day on the crest, has a north side where almost no one has ever gone." Learning to find the unexplored a stone's throw from home, sharing it with someone who, although far away, is always close and doing it spontaneously. Leaving at night, lightly and precisely climbing the mountain without leaving any trace other than the echo of a few shared laughs to mitigate the fatigue, finishing the undertaking together at the end of the day and returning home satisfied. Isn't that what mountaineering is?

Another interesting aspect is that the photos and videos of the climb were taken exactly during the climb. Nothing has been redone or it’s fake. François: Exactly, this was a very beautiful thing. I have always had a strange relationship with documenting my projects: on the one hand there is the risk that by filming you feel under scrutiny and so you change your approach to the climb, or it becomes forced. On the other hand, going back just to film is not the same. Breithorn, thanks to its very simple normal route, allowed the photographers and filmers Paolo and Damiano to climb and from there, with drones, follow us with their skills. We never felt the pressure, it was like hearing flies pass by us every now and then and then disappear. I want to report a beautiful reflection that François made on the route and that can be seen in the video released by La Sportiva: “I have climbed many mountains in the world, but the ones close to my home have something special for me. What pushes me, here at home, to still seek the unexplored to go and see those places where no one has ever gone is precisely the desire

(In)complete Jérémie Heitz: From steep skiing to mountaineering BY DAV I D E F I O R AS O

What comes to mind if you hear the name Jérémie Heitz?

Inevitably, the next step would have been to export this idea of steepness beyond the old continent. «Is it possible to translate fast and fluid skiing onto the most beautiful 6000m peaks on the planet? » This is the question that Jérémie, and his close friend Sam Anthamatten, tried to answer with the sequel “La Liste: Everything or Nothing”. Almost two years of filming, with the award-winning directors of Sherpas Cinema, in some of the most merciless mountain ranges in the world: Karakoram, Himalaya and Andes. The goal? Trying to leave a mark on those gigantic peaks, exploring the absolute limit of human possibilities. Success or failure. All or nothing.

For me it’s the movie La Liste. I remember its release as if it were yesterday. It was a bolt from the blue. In 2016, that young phenomenon had redefined the concept of steep descent, or rather, freeriding on large slopes. Something so revolutionary that it generated a stir even beyond the freeride community. After all, the goal was truly ambitious: to go up and down the steepest 4000 t peaks in the Alps on skis, on slopes between 45 and 55°. 15 peaks in two seasons. Classic lines but skied fast and in a precise way. La Liste evokes power and harmony and redefines skiing the big walls withing 47 minutes. It proposes a new reference in technique and style. For Jérémie it had taken enormous physical, and even more mental, resistance to reach what seemed to be the last frontier of freeriding. An achievement that would inevitably change this guy's life.

«The title is evocative. Returning with nothing from such an expedition is something plausible. In addition to the enormous amount of motivation, you need a lot of luck for the magic to happen. I don't feel like I have to justify the time I'll spend away from home or the risks I'll take, doing the things I love is priceless, regardless of plans or goals achieved. I call it the learning process.»

«La Liste was my first personal project, driven by very high motivation. It had a profound impact on my skiing career: it gave me the chance to pursue and realize my dream and get out of competitions. It's what I wanted to do from the beginning, and it's also pushed my skiing much further than I could have ever imagined. »

This chapter in history, more than any other, highlights the spirit and character of an athlete who pushed skiing to a totally different level. For Jérémie a freeride project is a mission.

It begins with a vision, takes shape by climbing a peak with one's own strength and ends with the perfect line along a wall. In the new short film "(In)complete" we see the career development of a now mature athlete. (In)complete is captivating with incredibly fast lines on unconventional terrain. The film also provides insight into the protagonist’s minds. Viewers get to understand what really happens behind the shots and what role fear plays.

unique insight into Jérémie's understanding of freeriding and his development towards true mountaineering. «Freeriding for me is pure skiing, the freedom to go wherever you want, with your legs and a pair of skis, discovering infinite terrain. A simple sport that offers infinite possibilities. » Jérémie’s mission through the Bernese Oberland with Sam Anthamatten is about fear and danger, putting trust in your partner and in the skills needed for a freerider to become a complete mountaineer. A work that ultimately makes him appear more human.

«I'm not fearless. I’m scared sometimes, and it is really important to feel in that way. At that moment it makes you aware of the danger. Not trying it could be potentially harmful. It could mean that you are entering a "routine" mode that is not ideal for your safety. »

«Being out there gives us the answers to many questions. Suddenly you're back on Earth, and after that it's all about fun. If you suffer and don't want to be there, there's no point. »

From ski racing to the Freeride World Tour, from leaving competitive skiing to the projects that brought him into the spotlight, (In)complete retraces the stages that defined Jérémie’s concept of freeriding: freedom to evolve and learn to be the most as versatile as possible in the mountains. «Being out there gives us the answers to many questions. Suddenly you're back on Earth, and after that it's all about fun. If you suffer and don't want to be there, there's no point. » The final crest, a quick look over the edge.

Ski and Japan Pow: an universal language BY C H I A R A B E R E T TA P H OTO S YAS U Y U K I S H I M A N U K I , AU ST I N H O P K I N S

It doesn't matter where you come from or what language you speak: when you share the same passion for skiing and snow, not much else is needed to create a deep connection. This is what "Lexicon" is about, the new short film directed by Austin Hopkins and Loïc Isliker with the support of Arc’teryx. In fact, one could say that this was the discovery made by the crew during the filming, last January in Japan on the snow-covered slopes of the island of Hokkaido.

Hopkins, American, and Isliker, Dutch, brought together an international crew of skiers for the project, including Tom Peiffer from Canada, Edgar Cheylus from France, Maude Besse from Switzerland, Stinius Skjøtskift from Norway, and Taiyo Nakanishi from Japan. The original plans for the short film were different, but in the course of the work, it was inevitable to focus on this curious variety of languages and cultures united in the pursuit of perfect Japan pow (or Japow). " The idea started with Austin noticing at the airport of Tokyo that we all have different passports and we had never seen so many different ones on one pile." says co-director Loïc Isliker. As the days passed, the theme of linguistic diversity and how it was translated into skiing ended up changing the direction of the entire project. "The biggest surprise for me was that the film we came back from Japan with was completely different from what we had proposed to Arc’teryx to get their support," confirms co-director Austin Hopkins. "Towards the end of the trip, I had the idea to really lean into the theme of language and the challenges we faced

105

with the cultural barriers, but still using skiing as the catalyst for human connection." In your opinion, how can ski be such a great catalyzer of human connections? Loïc Isliker: I think it is because skiing gives you such a specific feeling and can give so much joy that when meeting other skiers, you just want to share and express this feeling with them. It most of the time goes hand in hand with also loving nature and being outside in the elements. So right away there are multiple things in which you share the same interests. And on top of that, just sharing the same passion with others just feels amazing and can go in full nerd mode with them. How did you choose the skiers to include in the project? Loïc: We are all good friends and get along really well. For me, this is also an important part of the movie to show this fun vibe and atmosphere between friends. With this group I was sure we would accomplish this. On top of that, most of us had never been to Japan so I’m sure we would

106

Also, why Japan? Loïc: I mean, Japan is of course a dream of every skier to ski there. It snows so much there that I just really wanted to experience this. The idea of having so many powder days just sounds like a dream. Besides the snow, the culture really interested me as well. I always heard it’s so different and special that this made me very curious as well.

have this feeling of exploring a new culture all together as a group which is also a key element of the movie. How did you manage and face the linguistic barriers inside the team? Austin Hopkins: We were lucky to have our boots on the ground guy, local photographer and producer Yasuyuki Shimanuki with us for most of the trip, and he spoke amazing English. It would have been challenging to work with Taiyo (the local Japanese talent) without the translation help from Yasu. Among the athletes, there were definitely moments where connecting with Maude and Edgar proved to be difficult because we all tried to have basic communication in English. But luckily, Dutch skier and co-director Loic Isliker is fluent in French and English so he could do a lot of translating and helped a ton in the field. Another big challenge with the many languages among the crew was communication on the radios. We depend so much on using radios/walkies in the field when shooting skiing and action sports, and if there are any issues with communication then sometimes opportunities for good light, snow, timing, etc, can be missed when you can’t take to each other from a distance. Ultimately though we figured it out and worked a lot more in close proximity to avoid having to just use radios!

Any fun story from the behind the scenes? Loïc: Every morning before filming we stoped by the Seven Eleven to get lunch and snacks for on the mountain. In the beginning we were very overwhelmed by all the different kind of food and snacks they had. But after a week or so, we knew exactly what to get and started trying out all these unique snacks. It was really part of our routine and was always a fun moment. Austin: It’s probably a pretty common story with a lot of crews that go to Japan, but just the routine of looking forward to a 7-11 breakfast, snacks, and lunch! Seriously we went to bed each night dreaming of what we’d get the following morning. So many good candies, coffees, drinks, sandwiches, gyoza, sushi, you name it. All quality food with a higher standard than any other gas station in the world. I also have so many fun memories of all of us laughing hysterically and being overcome with joy whenever someone would make that perfect Japan pow turn. It’s hard to describe that feeling of taking a bottomless pow turn while it’s nuking outside and you’re with your friends in the mountains! Great crew, great trip, great experience.

Besides the route change on the film's theme, what surprised you the most about the experience? Austin: Another big surprise was the alpine day near Mount Tokachi that's featured in the film. To have a near-perfect sunny, cold, and stable day up high in the alpine in mid-January is pretty rare in Japan. We lucked out and got some incredible shots that contrast well against the classic deep pow footage that carries the film. I was also surprised with how easy it was to navigate and travel around Japan. The entire culture is so warm and welcoming and made us feel at home from the second we arrived!

Finally, what’s the message you would like to send with this movie? Austin: I think that sharing the human experience of traveling and skiing with your friends is just as important, if not more important, than the conditions, the weather, or the shots. With “Lexicon”, we wanted to bring attention to the variety of languages that our crew spoke and sometimes struggled with, and how no matter what language you speak or what background

107

108

you may come from, we can all communicate through the sport of skiing. Talking in general. What do you think ski film should express… Do they need to make sense or have a meaning or they can just be about skiing good lines? Austin: It’s so fun and interesting to see what snow sports and action sports filmmaking has evolved into. There is so much good content out there and so many beautiful stories that are being told. To me, ski movies don’t have to be just this one thing. That would be super boring. There is definitely a time and place for films and edits that are strictly A+ action and unique editing, but then there is also room for films with cinematic themes and epic storytelling that may or may not make a lot of sense to certain audiences. But that's the industry. Everyone skis differently, everyone moves differently, and everyone comes from different backgrounds so why not have a content pool that reflects that?

109

Loïc: I think ski movies with a lot of ski action and good lines is of course beautiful to watch but for me it can get boring pretty quickly. Ski movies for me should ideally have good skiing, story/adventure and a creative touch. I think after watching a ski movie the viewer should not only think “oh that was some sick skiing” but should also be inspired in some way. This could be through a new culture they have seen for the first time or be amazed by how the skiers have accomplished skiing their dream mountain for example. The skiing doesn’t necessarily need to be the most extreme or the best, but the story should be there. Besides this I think creatively you can attract people’s attention. Through music or a specific camera style for example. As long as after watching the movie the viewer was a bit in a “trance” and felt the mood of the movie, you did a great job in my opinion.

Lagorai Skyline Una linea tra cielo e roccia BY M A R TA VA N ZO P H OTO S G I A N LU CA VA N Z E T TA

Lagorai is wild and perhaps not for everyone, but this is also what makes it special. A place where you can be with yourself, without being disturbed, where trenches alternate with crystal clear lakes. Lagorai is wild and perhaps not for everyone, but this is also what makes it special. A place where you can be with yourself, without being disturbed, where trenches alternate with crystal clear lakes. There are an infinite number of lines and ridges, you just need to know how to look for them and a good eye can immediately identify them. In Val di Fiemme (and not only) Translagorai is well known, an 80km route in uncontaminated and wild nature. A unique place of its kind where it is possible not to meet anyone for kilometers and kilometers and the refreshments are only those you find in your backpack. On this crossing the "fiamazi" (the inhabitants of the valley) compete to see who can cover it in the shortest time possible in the summer, and who descends the greatest number of slopes in the winter.

at 6 in the morning in Ziano di Fiemme to reach "Trozo del Menador" by electric bike which leads to the Canzenagol mountain hut. “After the mountain hut we climbed a canal that leads to the ridge. The line we followed is the one that unites Canzenagol, Busa Alta, Cardinal and Cauriol peaks. A friend had already done it in the summer without using the rope, but we had it to be able to do rappels, and with discarded gear. We made a double descent from Busa Alta and one from Cardinal, to try to stay on this line as much as possible” explains Gian Luca. In this case, the skis are only used for the approach and return, while crampons are worn for the crossing, in an attempt to stay on the ridge line for as long as possible. For Gian Luca it wasn't the first time on that skyline, a first attempt was interrupted due to less than optimal snow conditions. But the desire to finish the project was great and with Nadir's request to tackle something long and technical in preparation for Mezzalama came the perfect opportunity to face this line again.“Surely being able to make a crossing of this type in your home mountains makes you want to try more. The conditions that day seemed good, even though it had been a winter with little snow, what there was had transformed well… Everything was perfect.”

Gian Luca Vanzetta and Nadir Maguet met on the steep climbs of their competitive years, alternating between podiums, cups and top of the rankings. The passion for the peaks and a special complicity meant that over the years their paths met elsewhere, far from stopwatches and starting lines, continuing to share the passion for the mountains as a mountain guide and professional athlete respectively. That Thursday at the end of March Gian and Nadir left towards Lagorai. Meeting

115

116

For Gian Luca, who grew up on bread and Lagorai since he was a child, this is the most aesthetic line of the entire mountain range. The name Lagorai Skyline could not be more obvious, for that line between sky and rocks. A line that Gian Luca has always seen from his home and which therefore sooner or later he would have had to honor... All that was needed was the right conditions, and above all the right partner. You can see it between Gian and Nadir: there is a good feeling, they have been friends for many years despite the distance between the Dolomites and the Matterhorn, and as soon as there is the possibility of doing something together, they don't think bout it twice.

but for him it was, in any case, a very beautiful and logical line, in a still so wild part of Val di Fiemme. “Exploring is something cool” continues Nadir, “it gets out of the monotony and for an athlete training in new places gives something more both to the preparation itself and to feeling good about oneself.”

“A wonderful experience because I was able to share a project with an old friend. It's nice to be able to share strong emotions with someone and this gives me a lot of satisfaction, more than many victories in races where the only goal is to win, without sharing anything.” For him it is the first time on these peaks and in the space of a day he climbed all four, the same peaks of which it took Gian Luca years before he could say "I won them all”.

However, theirs was not a challenge, they had no demands on the time and so they were able to give themselves the right moments to take some photos and savor the view. This shouldn't deceive us: since the World Cup, the two have continued to love fast movement (it's no secret that “il Mago” loves fast&light) and they finished the line in 7 and a half hours for 1300 meters of altitude difference. At the end of the day Nadir is enthusiastic, “A wonderful experience because I was able to share a project with an old friend. It's nice to be able to share strong emotions with someone and this gives me a lot of satisfaction, more than many victories in races where the only goal is to win, without sharing anything.” For him it is the first time on these peaks and in the space of a day he climbed all four, the same peaks of which it took Gian Luca years before he could say "I won them all”. It's a crossing where we can't talk about crazy numbers or major technical difficulties, especially for Nadir who has been setting record after record since last year,

Colmar 100 years on the snow A century that we retrace together with Stefano Colombo, the fourth generation of the family that owns the brand that more than anyone else has marked the history of Italian skiing.

119

What is today, after a century of hard work and history, the most prosperous and well-known Italian brand linked to skiing «In case of snow, Colmar» has its roots in a Monza factory specialized mainly in the production of gaiters and hats. Colmar is in fact the evolution of what was initially the Mario Colombo Manufacture and which had taken the name of its founder who, having to then choose an impactful one for a brand, ended up mixing the letters of the name and last name in the combination that has become famous. The small factory was born in 1923 from the work and will of Mario and his wife Irma and experienced constant growth despite the Italian and world situation of the time, with the crisis of '29 and a delicate political and social situation: Italy was

harassed by the sanctions imposed by the League of Nations following the attack by Ethiopia and all business activities in the territory are affected. In this period of time, the factory began to produce particularly resistant work overalls, because they were made with cotton treated in a particular way, and, during the Second World War, Saharan jackets for the French Foreign Legion. In fact, as happens during times of war, many sectors of industry are reconverted into production useful for arming and clothing soldiers. The turning point for the Monza-based company came precisely in the post-conflict period, a post-war period characterized by recovery and hope in which Italians began to frequent the mountains not to stay in the trenches but to ski (in Italy

120

skiing began to spread towards the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, when the first races began to be held). This is the real turning point of Colmar’s history, whose founders were able to glimpse the opportunity of a business linked to snow and, above all, translate it into a fundamental piece of the brand's DNA. «We became Colmar seizing the opportunities that history itself has presented to us and working hard on the cause we have embraced» explains Stefano Colombo, born in 1985 and Sales and Marketing Director of Colmar who is Mario Colombo's great-grandson. «When, in 1950, we began our partnership as suppliers of the Italian Winter Sports Federation by entering the Italian Ski Pool, we did so by understanding the opportunity

121

that came from the change that was taking place in European and Italian society, where the economic boom was bringing prosperity and desire to have fun, to play sports. We had the intelligence, and the fortune, to be able to exploit the market space that had been created at that juncture thanks to the natural production and entrepreneurial capabilities that we had developed in the previous years. After all, the core of the company has always been to treat particularly resistant fabrics. We had the opportunity to specialize in a sector like skiing thanks to the strategic knowledge we already had.» Another fundamental piece of the brand's history is the continuous

dialogue with athletes, who have always been partners in the innovations that have led Colmar to establish itself as a leader in the sector. Together with one of the pioneers of Italian skiing for example, the champion in the speed skiing discipline Leo Gasperl, the brand understood how to use treated cotton to create the "Thirring", a cape which, inflating on the back, opened resembling the wings of a bat. «Having had the ability and opportunity to develop the products together with athletes and snow professionals was fundamental. It is through the study of products and techniques together with them that we have been able to improve performance, therefore

122

becoming credible not only for athletes, but for the entire market. It is a process that still goes on today: we do research, we delve deeper, we compare ourselves both internally and externally, always looking for new ways to perfect the work. Another turning point, for example, was the meeting with Zeno Colò, with whom my great-grandmother Irma developed the “guaina Colò”, a jacket which undoubtedly represents a milestone in our history and which remained in the collection from the 1940s until to all the Seventies. The highest level skiers are an integral part of Colmar's experience: the studies carried out over the years in the wind tunnel with athletes

such as Piero Gros, from the entire Blue Avalanche and then on to Kostelic, Pinturault and to the members of the French and Slovenian national teams, which we still sponsor today. It is also thanks to them that the amateur ski market believed in us. The choice to invest in the television visibility of the races, which we began sponsoring starting from the 1985 World Championships in Bormio, also proved to be a winning one. If you think about it, it was precisely by seeing "our name" during some stages of the Ski World Cup that I began to understand, or at least to define a perimeter of what it meant to be part of a reality like Colmar: I remember with great joy the

privilege of having been able to live those days in that way, I must have been 9 or 10 years old. I struggle to recall the very first memories relating to the family business, it's as if I was born with this presence inside me. As I grew up, I made it grow and mature thanks to the stories of my father, who is an incomparable "conteur" of episodes, stories and people, and of my grandfather, who never missed an opportunity to "make the history of the brand weigh" and to teach me how one should behave.» From the Eighties onwards, Colmar’s name began to bounce around on television and it was among the most seen on the slopes, which gradually became an increasingly

In those years the first restyling of the logo took place precisely for the television needs linked to the Bormio World Cup: the famous red and blue stamp was transformed into the Colmar writing preceded by a stylized snowflake. Then followed years of great victories for Italian skiing, with the great champions of the Nineties: Deborah Compagnoni, Alberto Tomba and Manuela di Centa, but in 1992 the brand's relationship with the FISI (Italian Winter Sports Federation) was interrupted even though the race sponsorships.

Furthermore, continuous research leads us to embrace the environmental cause, creating responsible, long-lasting products made using treatments, fabrics and padding with an attention to reducing emissions. In this sense, we can boast of capillary control of the supply chain and we rely on the necessary certifications to guarantee a product that respects the environment. Looking at the next 100 years today is very difficult and, often, it is necessary to focus on the present or the near future. Having said this, there are aspects that, regardless of how the future may unfold, cannot

change for us. One of these is undoubtedly the way of "being" on the market: a behavior that derives from a century of history, forged by those before us who made possible what we are celebrating today, with great pride and a sense of belonging. We owe them a lot and the least we can do is to continue the "legacy" in the trace on the snow, that they left us.» In fact, the history of Colmar cannot be separated from the social and productive context in which the company was founded and prospered, i.e. the Monza district: «We were born here and, after a hundred years, we are still in Monza. Brianza is an area of people who work with their heads down, who know how to do business and who love

their surroundings. This matters a lot, so much so that we wanted to underline this link with a piece from the 100 year anniversary collection designed by Joshua Vides, a sweater on which the legendary jacket of the Blue Avalanche has been replicated (renamed "la Ceffa" by Erwin Stricker) and which wears on the front a bib with the name of the city where we have been for a century now. A fitting tribute. The experience of 100 years of history is a puzzle of many experiences, stories, gestures and of all the people who have come into contact with our reality and who every day allow me to add a piece to it.»

In a world where adventure and discovery are often driven by conquest, our recent journey to the remote regions of Svalbard and Iceland has proven to be a unique experience, a journey where man does not dominate, but is a respectful guest of nature.

Svalbard: navigating ice and wildlife

the charismatic animals that live here in freedom were not a conquest, but a privilege. The opportunity to immerse ourselves in untouched nature, leaving behind only the traces of our skis, will remain an incredible memory for us.

Our adventure with Alice, our friends Filippo and Alessio, and filmmakers Paolo and Lorenzo, begins in Svalbard, an archipelago where nature reigns supreme. Here, aboard a sailboat, we spent days in an environment where whales, polar bears, reindeers, seals, and walruses are the true masters. Using traditional techniques, like moving with "seal skins", we crossed ice packs for kilometers, climbed numerous mountains whose summits offer incredible panoramas, and skied down slopes that plunge directly into the sea, combining ancient wisdom with modern technology. This journey was not about achieving a goal, but about a close and respectful encounter with wild nature.

The most amazing thing was seeing up close the creature that more than any other represents these territories: the polar bear, symbol of the dominant presence of the Arctic regions. Venturing into a territory inhabited by this solitary giant requires absolute regard. The sight of the white bear filled us with joy and was a unique experience, mixed with happiness and fear, offering us the chance to marvel at the greatness of nature. Aboard our boat, anchored just a few tens of meters from the shore, watching it move on the ice pack sniffing our tracks, gave another dimension to our idea of free exploration. In these regions, it is the dominant one, man a silent visitor.

Our exploration by sailboat turned into an obedient dialogue with the wildlife typical of the polar environment, encounters with many of

Sounds

accepting the elements and adapting to them, were all a true tribute to exploration and nature.

Another element that struck us was "the sound" of the Arctic, an element that cannot be overlooked. The crackling of melting ice, the imposing silence broken only by the song of birds or the roar of glaciers breaking apart, the rustle of the wind through the fjords, the sound produced by the bow of the boat cutting through calm water inside bays where glaciers kilometers wide with fronts as tall as buildings flow, are sounds that composed the soundtrack of our adventure. These spontaneous acoustic effects were witnesses to our admiration for an environment that welcomed us, but does not belong to us.

Troll Peninsula The Troll Peninsula, an almost mythical place, was our home away from home, a winter paradise where we left our tracks on pristine snow. Waking up before dawn, when the Icelandic sky is still a mosaic of stars, with seal skins fixed to our skis, we began our ascent towards the peaks. Each step was a mix of effort and anticipation, a constant rhythm that took us higher, with the sky beginning to lighten. From the peaks on both sides of the Akureyri fjord, the view is truly incredible. Skiing here is like performing a dance with the elements. From the mountain tops, descents towards the sea with fresh snow (a gift of recent snowfalls) that sprayed around us like sparks of joy, the wind enhancing the powder effect, made every descent an exhilarating adventure, an unusual mix of adrenaline and peace. In a time of year still little frequented by continental skiers, we shared our tracks with only a few locals. For the most part, we were alone with our thoughts, alone with the vastness of Iceland. As the day drew to a close, the light changed: the cold dawn gave way to a sunset that painted the mountains pink. One last farewell, and then the descent towards the sunset, trying to copy the light of the final ray of sun, until reaching the water just before diving into the Icelandic night.

Life on board and the challenges of exploration Life on board the boat was also a unique experience. Between planning routes and sharing meals in the middle of the ocean, every moment was an opportunity to strengthen the bond between travel companions. Preparing for an excursion, deciding where to ski, and facing the challenges of always unpredictable weather made each day an adventure. With the crew, a perfect atmosphere of professionalism and friendship was established. Their support was fundamental to navigate safely, to identify the best spots to start our daily trips (actually more than one a day), and to have a truly comfortable life on board. The team composed of Alan, Arne, and Christian is of the highest level, and thanks to them, we were able to have unique experiences.

Iceland: skiing among glaciers and volcanoes

The aurora and the northern lights The northern lights are spontaneous displays that, fortunately, humans cannot schedule or control, one can only wait and hope to have the chance to witness them. Some of the most intense aurora performances were those hypnotizing moments when you look up at the sky, at the colors and the shining spectacle. The dance of lights in the night sky, with hues ranging from green to purple, was an almost surreal experience. Standing there, in the silence of the Arctic, watching this natural show, was like attending a private concert of nature, a performance that leaves you breathless and reminds you of how small we are in the face of the universe's greatness.

Continuing to Iceland, the landscape transforms. Here, natural elements dominate with uncontrollable force. We skied at sunset, traversed icy landscapes where the sea meets snow-covered mountains, and admired the power of waterfalls plunging into the Arctic Ocean. Iceland is a place where wind and ice shape the land, creating breathtakingly beautiful scenes. As we moved through the landscapes of Iceland, we were direct witnesses to the spectacle of nature. Watching the northern lights, discovering the beauty of deep cavities inside ancient glaciers, skiing on slopes merging with the ocean, admiring natural sculptures like frozen waterfalls,

This journey through Svalbard and Iceland was more than just exploration, I would say it was an experience that taught us the importance of being considerate visitors to these wild and pristine environments. Exploring the Vatnajökull

Final reflections: a tangible climate change

We found ourselves in front of something truly majestic: the Vatnajökull glacier, one of Europe's giants. The wind lashes our faces as we prepare to cross this vast white world, but we don't feel cold: it's the adrenaline rising. Walking on the glacier is like strolling on another planet. Every crevasse, every shade of white and blue attracts us. But the real wonder is yet to come. Descending into the cavities of the glacier is an experience hard to describe. The entrance is narrow, but once inside, we find ourselves in a completely turquoise world. The ice walls shine like jewels, and we feel as if we've entered a dream.

Our journey was also a wake up call about climate change. The accelerated melting of glaciers and the alterations of ecosystems are clear signs that the planet is changing. This experience left us all with a sense of urgency and responsibility towards the protection of our environment and, consequently, towards the protection of ourselves.

In conclusion This journey through Svalbard and Iceland was more than just exploration, I would say it was an experience that taught us the importance of being considerate visitors to these wild and pristine environments. Every moment spent in these remote lands was a reminder of the fragility of our planet and the need to protect and preserve it for future generations. This adventure has left us with indelible memories and a deep gratitude for the natural wonders of our world.

We walk cautiously, touching the walls, feeling the cold eternity of the ice. Each cave is a world unto itself, and every step takes us deeper into this natural wonder. Once outside, we spontaneously turn to look, one last time, at the turquoise caves: we will surely carry the memory of this fantastic experience with us forever. This was not just a trip or a descent, but an encounter with nature in its purest and most beautiful state. And as we move away, we can't help but feel grateful for having had the opportunity to explore this wild and unspoiled part of the world. We will surely return, because places like this call you, attract you, and never really let you go. The experience in Iceland was not just an adventure or a skiing trial, it was an event that touched our souls, a testament to the wild beauty of our planet, a reminder of how important it is to protect these magical places. For those seeking not just to ski, but to live a story, to be part of a landscape that speaks, Iceland is a destination not to be missed. It's a journey that changes you, that leaves memories not only in photos, but in the heart.

About the film This film is my personal tribute to exploration, to nature, and to a relationship with the natural world based on respect and understanding. It is the story of an adventure that I hope will inspire viewers to reflect on the beauty and fragility of our planet, and on our place within it as guests, not masters. In “Polar Horizon” I have tried to capture the essence of what it means to be an explorer in the true sense of the word: not just someone who discovers new places, but who learns from them, adapts to them, and, above all, respects them. It is a journey that has changed me, that has enriched my soul, and that has taught me the true meaning of being, simply, a guest on this extraordinary planet we call home.

Everyone loves Vassi Vassijaure Haglöfs Ski Camp BY E VA TO S C H I

When I was asked to participate in the Haglöfs Ski Camp in Lapland, the first thing I asked myself was whether people go skiing in Lapland first and foremost. I have always associated, and I don't think I'm the only one to have done that, Lapland with three things: Santa Claus, (his) reindeer and flat and desolate lands. In these images in my head there has never been room for snow-capped mountains to ski, but I can't wait to fill my eyes and my soul with new views and new experiences. Obviously, I decide to leave and let myself be surprised. While most of the time the journey is simply a way (rather boring, let's face it) to get closer and prepare for the adventure, the journey to reach Lapland is an adventure in itself: we took a night train that goes from Stockholm all the way up to Sweden and with a quick change of train we arrived, only 19 hours later, at the very small station of Vassijaure, our destination. In these hours, in addition to sleeping, you have the opportunity to get to know, at the right times, who will be your skiing companions for the following days and you enter, always according to human and natural times, within the territory you are visiting. You can see it, you can feel it. Hour after hour. And if for a very long time the landscape always appears the same, when it changes you suddenly notice it. And now snow replaces grass, houses begin to disappear and mountain profiles timidly make room in the distance. And if you don't find yourself locked in the bathroom when the train engineer announces it, you might see a reindeer near the railway.

sun never sets. We soon reached a hill from which we could see the tepee tents where we would have slept in the following days (or rather, nights, but they are the same anyway), we took off our skins and reached the camp with our skis on. It's something I've always dreamed of: snow everywhere and nothing to do but sleep, eat, drink and ski. And I came all this way, by train, if you haven't understood, precisely to do this. The first night I struggled to sleep because of the light and above all because of the worry of having to put on my shoes, go out into the snowstorm and go to the bathroom tent to pee. Necessities that I had to deal with every night. The toilet, for intellectual honesty, consisted of a plastic bucket attached to a wooden seat: the toilet, on the other hand, was a shovel full of sawdust with which to cover what you have just done. Luckily the bucket was emptied daily. The following day the weather was bad: complete white out and a very strong wind. Those were not ideal conditions but all we could do was zip up our jackets and start climbing. We divided into groups and I launched myself, unaware, into the most advanced one. After a while, while exchanging a few words while going up, I realized that I was with pros. My mates were all Haglöfs ambassadors. I offered them some Haribo candies and we became friends: I will not be remembered as the one who skied fast, but as the Italian who offered gummy sweets on the summit. We realized that we were at the top because a pyramid

Even if dazed by the journey, when it was almost time for us to arrive we put on our clothes and prepared to reach the camp on skis. The train stopped in the middle of nowhere, in front of a building that looked more like a church to me than a station. We got to know our guests and guides and, divided into groups, we began to walk on skins. It would have been almost sunset time if it weren't for the fact that at that time of year the

138

of stones has been made at the highest point. Traditionally you have to touch it, and so we did. The descent is pure survival: I didn't take turns to keep up with my trip companions and, in any case, the snow didn't promise or allow much, at least for me. Almost at the end of the descent the guys stopped, took the shovels out of their backpacks and started setting up a jump. After a while I admired them doing various backflips. It's impressive how comfortable they are with any type of terrain and condition, and how they are able to have fun on a day that, if I were at home in the Alps, I would have spent on the sofa reading and petting my dog. Back at the camp I drank a beer on the run to get into the sauna before dinner but, once I entered the tent, I was overwhelmed by some wonderful surprises. The first, decidedly unexpected and welcome, is that in the sauna you can drink and everyone had a cold beer in their hands. I got one immediately. The second is that the Swedes, apparently cold and detached, once they put on a costume start drinking and sweating in places where proximity is inevitable and become party animals. Between chatting and beers we also rinsed ourselves off with a bucket of cold water before getting dressed for dinner. It is the only way we had to wash ourselves during our stay. The evening ended in front of a fire, in the surprisingly clear grey light of the evening.

live music and a beer offered and opened with the skis still on. We sang and danced until we realized that it was night, but only because we checked our clock. On the third day we woke up and it was raining. It would have been a good idea to stay warm and do nothing, let alone ski, but we couldn't help but invent something to do, with our skis on. There was no alternative. And as alienating as it was, it was still interesting. I let myself be dragged figuratively and literally, as we attached a rope to the snowmobiles, towards a more distant valley. Between rain, skins that don't stick, concrete snow, I certainly didn't have an epic day of skiing, but still in good company trying to remember every fragment of that place so far from home that in a day I would be forced to leave. After what I can say was the worst skiing of the year, we ended on a high note with another ride towed by the snowmobile to return to the camp. Skiing hanging from the rope, with the buff pulled up over your face so as not to breathe in the exhaust fumes, was undoubtedly the most fun thing of the day. At the camp, we celebrated the last evening by doing all the things that have cheered up our afternoons in the last few days: drinking beers around the fire, drinking beers in the sauna, dancing (and drinking beers). Martin, one of the guys who landed the backflip on the first day, sat down and let his blonde hair be cut into a beautiful mullet cut. He is young and strong, he can afford it. In the morning we put on our skis just to reach the train station. It's a crazy sentence to say and yet, that was what happened exactly.

On the second day, I did really ski. A lot of elevation gain, some chatting, the blue sky and the snow, finally light and powdery. I can't imagine a better day of skiing, made perfect by the arrival at the camp accompanied by

While most of the time the journey is simply a way (rather boring, let's face it) to get closer and prepare for the adventure, the journey to reach Lapland is an adventure in itself: we took a night train that goes from Stockholm all the way up to Sweden and with a quick change of train we arrived, only 19 hours later, at the very small station of Vassijaure, our destination.

10 things to know about Swedish Lapland: 1. Nobody smokes but everyone, absolutely everyone, uses snus. 2. The snow can be amazing in May when I'm not there. 3. It is essential to sleep with an eye mask. If you don't have one, a buff is fine. 4. Craft beers cost 8 euros and are delicious. The same ones, free, are even better. 5. The sauna can be more aggregative than a discotheque. 6. Even if you are in the middle of nowhere, you may be woken up by the whistle of a train announcing its passage. 7. In Sweden, in addition to abusing snus, they eat excellent pizza. 8. There are no reindeer. Especially if you pee on the train at the wrong time. For the reindeers of Santa Claus, I reserve the right to return in December, with an empty bladder. 9. The night trains are equipped with beautiful showers. Which after four days of camping and skiing, let's face it, are a miracle. Especially for those who will sit next to you on the flight back to Italy. 10. In Lapland there are mountains. And yes, people there go skiing.

You never ask what one does in Chamonix. It’s rude. You ask what they skied today. Photographer Gary Bigham was one of the original American ski bums who moved to France’s Chamonix Valley in the late 1970s and spent 50 years skiing the area’s notoriously challenging terrain. He also took some of the most memorable images of 1980s and ’90s ski culture, documenting a freewheeling era of neon one-pieces, monoskis, wild on-slope antics and perpetually untracked powder fields, it was a period of time sometimes referred to as the “Age of Ski Bums.”

it becomes, a feeling enhanced by a host of unconventional add-ons: a wine cellar, a sauna, a swing in the living room and a seemingly never-ending dinner table which can, and regularly does, seat 20 people. Growing up in Europe’s capital of extreme sports, or its graveyard of failed extreme sport ambitions, depending on who you ask, was all you’d envision and much more. My parents were also ski bums and moved from England to Chamonix when I was a child. When I met Guri at age 11, she became my first non-French friend, and I became part of an extended, pleasantly dysfunctional family.

But I know Gary for the other things he did in Chamonix, the off snow existence his photos only hint at: Gary the musician, the showman, the rock star, a fun-making, joke-slinging, generally hilarious character with thunderous dark sides and legendary hangovers.

When it snowed, Gary’s house would snuggle into its own groovy tempo, firelight breathing life into the ballet skiers dancing in their picture frames. Because “no school on a powder day” was law between those walls, Guri and I would coordinate sleepovers with incoming storms, hoping we’d be snowed in or the road to Chamonix would close. Gary would take us to the Grand Montets ski area in the morning, where we’d load the tram alongside packs of slavering powder wolves. On the way down, he’d wait patiently for us as we ploughed through chest-deeper blower, howling wildly.

By the time his daughter Guri and I were young teenagers, we rarely saw Gary on skis with a camera in his hand. Gary the ski photographer was a bygone character, stashed in a chaotic treasure chest of slides, or recollected in his classic aprés film and photo slideshows, done the old-fashioned way, to the whirring clunks of a carousel slide projector, and set to a soundtrack of eccentric commentary. Gary’s house in Argentière is itself a ski relic, a classic alpine chalet filled with memorabilia and humorous alcoves, behind one picture, for example, is a hole you can put your face through to scare the daylights out of unsuspecting guests. The more doors you open, the bigger

te to neon ski suits and ski ballet, and on Fridays, we’d cross the road from middle school to the MBC Chamonix Microbrewery and watch Gary’s band, Gary Bigham and the Crevasseholes. My dad would make guest appearances on his saxophone, everybody jamming to songs like “All You Need is GLOVEs.” Beer would flow, and the crammed bar would go wild.

Poring over the slides, I felt a pang of longing for an era we never knew. We were holding the coattails of that golden age, the Age of Ski Bums, and the landscapes, our backyard draped in a pristine white cloak, now vanished along with its fabled medieval dragons and soon-to-be fabled glaciers, pulled powerfully on my heartstrings. The Kodachrome patina glamourized the seracs, granite pinnacles and damn-right dodgy places where I have since stood to take my own photographs. I recognized the youthful, familiar faces of those whose achievements or tragedies have written this valley’s history.

For a little English girl, the parade of vibrantly colored ski-lebrities flowing through Gary’s house, each more awesome (and, now I realize, probably more intoxicated) than the last, was a revelation. It was a new vision of how our existence could play out, a shiny dimension where it was somehow possible to both make a living and ski all winter, or even all year.

The Age of Ski Bums has passed. But the unnamed one that replaced it has led to a place I’ve longed to be part of since I first sat at Gary’s endless dinner table, starry-eyed, listening to legends ask each other what they’d skied that day.

Fifteen years later, as a ski photographer myself, it’s my turn to dance with those powder-hungry snow wolves, to tame them, even become one of them. I spent years of hard- fought boot-packing to be closer to the man I fell in love with (a skier, of course), and now I live out my wildest teenage fantasies following him into cathedrals of ice and limestone. When the opportunity came up to write a story about Gary, it gave me and Guri an excuse to do something we’d talked about for years. The magnetic pull of childhood nostalgia drew us back to the attic and Gary’s stash of images. This time, our photographic time traveling had a purpose: to digitize and save the countless one-of-a-kind photos and films, while cataloging the stories and quotes that keep them alive.

It’s Chamonix, after all. Anything else would be rude.

LAST WORD BY DAVIDE FIORASO

«Stai attento ai tuoi pensieri, perché diventeranno le tue parole. Stai attento alle tue parole, perché diventeranno le tue azioni. Stai attento alle tue azioni, perché diventeranno le tue abitudini. Stai attento alle tue abitudini, perché diventeranno il tuo carattere. Sta attento al tuo carattere, perché diventerà il tuo destino».

Questo passo del Talmud, uno dei testi sacri dell'ebraismo, ci ricorda quanto poco ci prendiamo cura dei nostri pensieri e di ciò che li influenzano: le immagini che vediamo, le parole che sentiamo, le persone che le hanno pronunciate. Ci hai mai fatto caso? Chi, intorno a te, contribuisce a produrre i pensieri che scriveranno il tuo destino?
