Piste-porno: zo kijk jij kwijlend uit naar de wintersport

Schnapps für alle!

Hoewel de Nederlandse winters inmiddels allang geen garantie meer zijn voor Elfstedentochten en dikke pakken sneeuw, blijft ons volkje de kou een warm hart toedragen. En als dat niet in eigen land kan (dit miezerige excuus voor sneeuw van vanmiddag is daar een (niet zo) mooi voorbeeld van) dan zoeken we het wel over de grens. Im stau auf die Autobahn, alle schnapps und schnitzels nog aan toe: het is weer tijd voor wintersport!

Het betere kwijlwerk

Oh, die poederzachte sneeuw, kraakheldere lucht en ijskoude Pilsner na afloop: de pistes zijn voor menigeen een winters walhalla. Enige nadeel: het is zo godsgruwelijk duur! Tenzij je in een tussenjaar zit en de costas van Salou inmiddels hebt verruild voor een bestaan als skileraar in Tirol, moet je zo ongeveer een nier doneren wil je langer dan twee weken op een Alp kunnen zitten. Niet getreurd: wij halen de sneeuw naar jou!

Of nou ja: naar je beeldscherm. Want onderstaande fotografen hebben sneeuw op de kiek zetten zo ongeveer tot kunst verheven. En delen het resultaat maar al te graag op Instagram. Dus moet je nog eventjes wachten op je weekje winterpret, kom dan alvast in de stemming met deze kwijlwaardige plaatjes. Pas op: smeltgevaar.

From an afternoon around the abandoned buildings of Pyramiden, Svalbard. While on a hike around the outskirts of the settlement, we came across this beautiful Arctic Fox in its summer coat. @visitsvalbard

A moment in between. I’ve always found drifting clouds to be a peaceful thing to watch, especially as they interact with the landscape in the high mountains. Looking up at these frozen peaks in Svalbard, I tracked the clouds as they drifted past, waiting for that swift moment where a wall of cloud sat right above the summit. It almost lined up in the end! #svalbard

Winter Begins | Photo Expedition. ⁣ Stoked to announce my next photography expedition, this time set in the mountains at home in Iceland. ⁣ ⁣ For five days this November, you will be able to join myself, my partner @brokensundowns and our great friend and mountain guide @siggiworld for a dynamic trip, full of interesting experiences around the first snow and change of seasons. ⁣ Based out of @midgard.base.camp in Hvolsvöllur, we’ll be positioned at the edge of the Fjallabak region and keep our daily routes flexible to head wherever the conditions are best for photography. ⁣ ⁣ We’ll also spend one night immersed in the highland landscape by staying in one of Fjallabak’s wooden mountain huts, far away from civilisation. I’m really excited to have @siggiworld in our team, as with his guidance we’ll be able to access some extremely remote areas and collectively create something truly unique.⁣ ⁣ Head to the link in my bio or swipe up in my story to check out all the details 🤘🏼 #iceland

Bone-chilling ski back to the bivouac. As amazing as the sunset was, what we truly had in our minds was the hot bowl of freeze dried “alpine” pasta waiting for us.. Warming isobutane cans in our down jackets, melting snow to make water and coming up with random word combinations while the snow melts. Tired legs & fun times in Slovenia! @feelslovenia

Natuurfotograaf in hart en nieren. Post niet zozeer piste-kiekjes, maar hoe deze man besneeuwde bergtoppen en reusachtige ijswanden weet te fotograferen is pure kunst.

Just boarded my first trip of the year and it‘s an exciting one. Heading to explore my last continent. Can you guess where?

Lappish getaway ❄️.. that building is actually an old mill, next to river that basically never freezes - one of my favorite locations in Finland. I recently went through some of my old photos and tweaked the edits a little bit. Pretty cool to see how your editing style is changing from time to time. Since I changed my back up system to a @Drobostorage it‘s even more fun, as my Drobo 5D3 is definitely one of the easiest and quickest systems I have ever used. @seagate [Werbung]

Stark, alone and defiant against the elements. While sailing through the fjords of Spitzbergen we came across several peaks, each more rugged than the other one. #Spitzbergen #Svalbard

My mind is still above the clouds after a successful couple weeks spent on Denali “The High One.” The mountain, snowboarding, and friendships forged will be cherished for years to come. Big thank you to my sponsors for supporting! #DenalsSurfTeam 🏔 👀 Keep your eyes peeled for more images from the trip rolling out soon and film project with @roam @jonessnowboards next fall.
