83° Ski the north.

In the tracks of the first.

The two BMW athletes, professional freeriders and adventurers Matthias Haunholder and Matthias Mayr, make their way in the footsteps of the first ever people to ski on prominent mountains in the Alps. What these pioneers accomplished is breathtaking, especially if you consider the equipment they had available to them at that time. The athletes attempt to repeat some of these extremely exposed runs – using state-of-the-art camera technology but with the mountain climbing equipment of the day.

No Man's Land.

Their lust for adventure is unstoppable. Further and further. Colder and colder. More and more extreme – and more and more dangerous! For Matthias and Matthias, no challenge is too great. This time they venture into the biggest desert in the world. The ice desert. The Antarctic. Follow the two BMW athletes on their trip to the Antarctic, through the Antarctic and up to the second highest peak in the Antarctic.

The White Maze.

Follow Matthias Mayr and Matthias Haunholder's spectacular expedition to the highest mountain of Eastern Siberia. Their goal: To make the first ski descent from the summit. To achieve this, the two friends are prepared to go to their limits - and beyond. A breathtaking adventure amid a labyrinth of mountains on the very edge of the world.

Onekotan.

Accompany Matthias Mayr and Matthias Haunholder to one of the remotest places in the world: Onekotan Island. Located in the furthest east of Russia, inhospitable, uninhabitable - and unbelievably fascinating. At risk to their lives, the two friends set off on a venture to conquer the island volcano on skis.

On a Mission – Martin Söderström.

On a Mission - Martin Söderström.

We have sent slopestyle pro Martin Söderström on a mission to the hottest biking spots in the Austrian Alps. Legendary jumps, daring drops and downhill slopes taken at full speed.

BMW Travelnotes.

The 2018 mountain bike season began with a real action highlight as Zillertal’s Roman Rohrmoser invited slopestyle professional Martin Söderström to explore his extended front yard for BMW Travelnotes. And, as expected, the two of them made sure it was full of adventure – winding trails, massive downhill slopes and daring jumps. The best action moments from the trip can be found in BMW Travelnotes.

On a Mission.

With the campaign "On a Mission", BMW took the mountainbike scene by storm this summer, too. The makers of the BMW xDrive sent two consummate professionals – BMW athletes Martin Söderström (Sweden) and Hannah Barnes (Scotland) – on a special challenging mission in the mountains.

Shades of Winter CONNECTS.

In ‘Shades of Winter CONNECTS’ Sandra Lahnsteiner shows what she continuously aims for: connecting to people and environments. Her main means: sports in all its facets. Without knowing each other, pro mountain biker Hannah Barnes from Scotland and Austrian freeskier Sandra Lahnsteiner set off to a trip to Iceland together. Their plan is to explore the Troll Peninsula while doing both their sports: freeskiing and mountain biking. By putting on the others’ shoes, the athletes show unseen vulnerability when things turn messy and stressful outside their comfort zone.

Between.

For Sandra and her team, the feeling of tackling an extreme situation is no longer new. And yet in BETWEEN they go their limits. Exposed to the elements, at the most exotic locations in the world, with the adrenaline flowing and always focused on adventure, the BMW athlete once again guarantees thrilling moments on the big screen.

Crossroads.

CROSSROADS follows Janina Kuzma (NZL) and Sandra Lahnsteiner (AUT) on their road trip through British Columbia, Canada. Bounded by a strong friendship, Crossroads takes you with on the athletes’ pursuit for powder with playful skiing, many laughs and a few surprises along the way. Between Golden and Kaslo, the girls get behind the steering wheel and amongst the machines. With this edit, they are breaking routine, but relentless in showcasing what fun skiing and traveling provides them with.

Shades of Winter COUPLES.

Sandra Lahnsteiner is not only an extremely successful freerider, but she also shoots and produces her own films, such as “Shades of Winter: COUPLES”. The short film mainly shows the female side of action sports. Janina Kuzma (NZL), Julia Mancuso (USA) and Sandra herself all feature. The fact that every freerider still brings their male companion makes for a unique rollercoaster ride of emotions between adrenaline rushes, fear, and pure joy across the best ski destinations in Canada. A must-see.

The Tyrolean and his Piefke.

Wishes and Reality.

Outcomes? Uncertain. Experience? Unforgettable. And in summary? "Wishes & Reality": a skiing film about extreme challenges away from the piste. Accompany freeriders such as Felix Wiemers and Roman Rohrmoser on spectacular adventures in deep snow, on steep faces and amid endless expanses of snow.

Characters on Skies.

Due to the lack of snow in early winter, BMW athletes Felix and Roman had the spontaneous idea of going on an unforgettable trip to Japan. In addition to the rising sun, they could look forward to endless snowfall with very fine powder snow. Exhausted to the very limit, they finally returned to the mountains back home.

DEDICATION.

DEDICATION – A film that tells a story of passion, dedication and the endless search for the perfect powder run amidst a stunning backdrop. Midiafilm accompanied three freeride pros on their trips around the globe last winter where they were constantly on the hunt for fresh snow. Felix Wiemers found it in Norway, Russia and Zillertal. Roman Rohrmoser opted for Zillertal and Montafon. Sandra Lahnsteiner, on the other hand, found her ideal location in Gastein.
