Candide, Alaskan pow, deadly road gap and more

Candide. Arch. Double

4/11/24- This week’s stoke:

What we’re watching:

  • Markus Eder Laps His Home Mountain - Europe had an incredible winter this year. Marcus Eder took full advantage of his home terrain and skied plenty of pow laps in his usual smooth style.

  • Hedvig Wessel Goes Bananas in Alaska - Alaska season is here. Norwegian skied Hevig Wessel has already been crushing huge lines in Alaska and watching her only gets us more fired up.

The Beta:

  • Skier Dies Hitting Road Gap - Tragic news out of Colorado. A skier in his early 20s was attempting a road gap over Berthoud pass and tragically came up short. He succumbed to his injuries and did not survive. Stay safe out there

Elevating the Craft:

  • How to transition in the steeps - IFMGA guide Dave Searle discusses different aspects of transitions from climbing to skiing while on very steep terrain. He covers topics like how to stay safe, how to prevent dropping gear, and how to make the transition more comfortable
