Note: Flashing lights. This is a video of Italian Olympic luger Leon Felderer speeding down the track in Lillehammer, Norway at speeds up to 86MPH with nothing between him and the track but some spandex, a sled, and a prayer. I can’t even begin to tell you how many times
This is some helmet-cam footage of skier Leonhard Rombach competing in the Inferno Rennen 2025 downhill race, the longest in the world, and reaching speeds over 60MPH in the process. There’s also a brief uphill climb around 5:30. Honestly, I saw a lot of opportunities to shave some valuable seconds
This is a video from the recent X-Games on Buttermilk Mountain in Aspen, Colorado of Italian skier Miro Tabanelli and Japanese snowboarder Hiroto Ogiwara landing the first 2340° spins.

This is a short clip of a horse who, after watching its human caretaker make a snow angel, decides to get in on the fun and make one of his own. Hey — you never know how fun something is until you try it for yourself. Now I’m addicted to
This is some helmetcam footage of skier Francis Zuber rescuing a snowboarder trapped in a tree well (aka a spruce trap — the area directly under an evergreen’s branches that doesn’t get as much snow as the surrounding area and creates a pit you can fall into and get buried)
This is a video of a powder cloud avalanche tearing down the trails of Mount Timpanogos at Sundance Resort in Utah while a group of skiers and snowboarders watch. Per one dude, “What the heck, bro?! That’s one of the biggest avalanches I’ve ever seen in my life!” Wow, just
