SALEWA. Die Profis im Bergsport. Wir haben die richtige Bekleidung und Ausrüstung für den Alpinsport.

It was 10 years ago that Martin "McFly" Winkler first flew to Patagonia. The country appealed so much to his 'ski bum' side that he could not get it out of his thoughts. He was spellbound by the vast expanses of freedom. But it wasn't until autumn 2010 that he had a chance to return. This time he brought with him: one camera, two fellow team members, and three souls who wanted to experience something different to the "higher, faster, further" mantra. This is what free ski mountaineering can offer. It's off-piste skiing for the soul.

A living legend in skiing and pioneer of free ski mountaineering, Glen Plake joined the international SALEWA alpineXtrem team a year ago. Selected retail partners will be looking forward to stocking "Glen Plake’s Choice" bang on time for the 2011/12 autumn/winter season. This comprises a jacket, pants and gloves which mountain sports specialists SALEWA have custom-designed to the requirements of the ski punk from California.

Freedom is a value which drives men to climb mountains. Professional mountaineers also appreciate freedom in their choice of equipment. Max Zipser is one such person. He climbs mountains to come down again on slopes of up to 55°. But unlike other members of the international SALEWA alpineXtrem team, he descends the snowy slopes on a snowboard rather than skis so he literally on board. Climb2Ski goes Climb2Ride.
