Movie Time! Steps - A Journey to the Edge of Climate Change

Dear all,

Today, just a fantastic trailer that I urge you to watch for 5 reasons:

1) Its topic is exactly what I've been writing about for the past months: climate change hits close to home, especially for the winter sports community. Get inspired to watch the whole film, and (depending on your background), learn something!

2) Beautiful footage of the Swiss Alps, snow, skiing, snowboarding, good soundtrack - the whole works.

3) Read the description, and take away the message. Implement it in your own life: share rides to the mountains, take public transport there, explore your own backyard instead of flying off to Breck. 

4) It's the intro to my next post: the paradox between snowsports and climate change. So far, I've only been talking about climate change and its impacts. Not on how we are doing a great job at helping it along. It's time for my own version of what the makers of STEPS present: a critical analysis of the snowsports community.

5) Enjoy the soothing Schwiizertüütsch. Isn't it the most calming language in the world? Except for a German, trying to convince yourself that you understand the language. No, you don't. 

Cheers for now guys, and enjoy. 

P.S. For the Dutchies out there: happy Sinterklaas!

  1. Hey Larissa,
    Thanks for sharing the trailer, some of the footage is insane and has got me excited for visiting the slopes over Christmas! But I will definitely take this into consideration! I'm really looking forward to reading your next post on the matter.
    Thanks!

  2. I do love the sound of the language....what a beautiful trailer. A little less romantic, but gripping neverthess is James Balog's Chasing Ice....
