Good news from #Norway – you can't buy everything, it seems.

»Mikael #Kuhmunen, spokesperson for the Sirges Samiby (#reindeer herding community), confirmed to Norway’s NRK that they had been offered payment. “We were contacted by a helicopter company who wondered how we would approach #heliskiing. I raised the issue with the board, and there was a unanimous no,” Kuhmunen said. “We are fundamentally against everything heliskiing entails.”«

Mark Zuckerberg wanted to fly his helicopter from his gigantic superyacht to go skiing on Swedish mountains and offered villagers tens of thousands, but they flat out refused, saying the noisy chopper would disturb their reindeer - Luxurylaunches

Gerade freudig die aktuelle Ski&Berge Zeitschrift des #DSV aus dem Briefkasten geholt. In der Vergangenheit waren da Topartikel und differenzierte Diskussionen zum #Ski- und #Schneesport zu finden, teilweise auch wiss. aufbereitet.

In dieser Ausgabe:
* Warum man Luxusuhren von #Longines, #Rolex und co. für 5 bis 300k€ gut zum #Skifahren brauchen kann.
* Wie geil #Heliskiing in Kanada ist (10k€+ / 5 Tage)
* Dass man unbedingt mal ins #Kempinski Palace in #Engelberg sollte (~1K€ / Nacht).

I am getting into the winter mood by watching some videos on #Freestyle Skiing and snowboarding docs.

I found a production company called #Level1 and they are a group of artists, filmmakers.

Heliskiing je adrenalinový sport. ⛷️ Podle závěrečné zprávy NTSB se ale pronajaté společnosti Petrem Kellnerem nesnažily minimalizovat riziko. Naopak. Pilot vůbec neměl na takovém stroji letět, hlavní instruktor byl na kokainu. Rozebrali jsme na to na @irozhlas

Drei Bayern in Kanada bei Lawine umgekommen. Man fragt sich:

1) Was machen die in Kanada?

2) Wieso sind sie in ner Lawine gestorben, obwohl es in der Gegend Lawinenwarnungen gab?

Zu 1: Urlaub

Zu 2: #Heliskiing

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/avalanche-canada-releases-details-on-b-c-avalanche-that-killed-three-germans-1.6776288

Dann fragt man sich: WTF ist Heliskiing?

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliskiing

Die Antwort: Bekloppte, denen die Umwelt egal ist, werden mit dem Helikopter auf nen Berg geflogen und fahren dann da runter. Oder auch nicht. Wenn sie in eine Lawine kommen. Dafür unterschreiben sie aber vorher, dass das schon mal vorkommen kann.

Das Ganze ist ungefähr so lahm, wie mit dem Transporter auf nen Berg zu fahren, um dann mit nem Mountain-Bike runterzurollern. Nur dass der Umweltimpact beim Helicopter wesentlich höher sein dürfte.
