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.

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.

Shades of Winter COUPLES.
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.

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.
