A new image in Germany’s Skiing magazine. The shot is of Candide Thovex, taken while skiing around the Rendl side of St. Anton in Austria. The rest of the mountain was a complete whiteout and even down below the tree line the light was very flat, but such good snow. This is a secret little location tucked away in amongst a few trees. When the visibility is poor you need to head to the trees for some definition and contrast.

The new ski-guide book concerning skiing off-piste in the Arlberg region of the Austrian Alps about to come out. One of my photos, featuring Danish skier Peter Isaksson, is on the cover and there are a few more scattered throughout on the pages inside as well.
Written by a local ski guide Andy Thurner, the book includes 47 ski touring routes with 66 different descents found around the Arlberg region. All the routes are easy access and can be reached without any special ski touring equipment though avalanche safety equipment is always a must. If you are planning on a ski trip and hoping to experience some of the wonderful off-piste skiing that the Arlberg has to offer then this book is for you. If you are new to skiing off-piste or wish to venture further out there can be no substitute for using an experienced guide.
The book will be on sale in Austria, Germany and Sweden. Copies of the book can also be purchased directly from Andy by contacting him at andyski@aon.at
