No friends on powder days!
One Polo, three pairs of skis, poles, skiboots and our four pieces of luggage. We were all set for the first Winter Alpine Campus - five days of pure mountain.
HOW WE ARRIVED IN THE DOLOMITES AFTER ALREADY 4,500 KM HIKING
Crossing Southern Europe on foot from West to East is a huge challenge. Since we started, 9 months ago in Portugal, we hiked something like 4,500 km across 5 countries.
NORWAY
I pull on my gloves; wiggling each finger into its warm protective nook. The Norwegian air swirls around me, kicking up snow, trying to persuade my judgment to turn back. My mind keeps me firmly planted though overpowering natures reasoning’s.
DREAMS AND TIME
I come from the seaside and since I was born I have only been involved in water-sports. However, when I was 23 I (re-)discovered the mountains.
CHILDHOOD DREAMS COME TO LIFE
My brother Bill and I always wanted to open our own route here, because this was probably the first mountain we set foot on as children.
WHAT WE DO HERE
Sometimes great challenges have nothing to do with higher mountains to be climbed, unknown areas to be explored, nothing to do with increasingly extreme sports....
EVERY YEAR THE SAME
By November, you can already feel your fingertips tingling. Restless, I cast a glance over the weather forecast, study the long-term weather prognoses and even consult folklore.
