For outdoor winter enthusiasts we cover all disciplines of skiing including alpine, Nordic, cross country skiing (also known as backcountry, randonnée or ski touring), ski-mountaineering, off-piste, telemark, heli-skiing and ski-jumping.

Have other techniques in mind for sliding on snow or ice? For beginners to Olympic athletes there are articles on snowboarding, snowtubing, dogsledding, ice skating, snowmobiling, tobogganing, luging, bobsledding, snowshoeing and ice fishing.

Discover what's happening when it comes to ski resorts, ski and snowboard equipment, winter sports events, backcountry adventures, mountain safety, ecology issues, and profiles of winter athletes and personalities.
