Let MediaMountain help you through the holidays!

With the Christmas holidays just around the corner the internet is becoming jam packed with snowy content, making our job of finding just one viral video to share with you almost impossible. Actually, scrap that, it was impossible! So instead of your usual one video per month, this month (because it’s Christmas and a time of giving) we’re spoiling you with three! Go check them out in our Viral Video of the Month section. You’ll also find in this month’s issue a quickguide to our deadlines for winter campaigns,since it's never too late to book one! Furthermore, we have a very unconventional print ad and maybe the best ski app out there at the moment. Plenty of content to see you through the holidays, Merry Christmas!!

Viral Video of the Month

Freeskiing + classical music = ?

This month we could have chosen this trailer of "Further" by legendary snowboarder Jeremy Jones or "This Is My Winter" by his riding buddy Xavier de le Rue as our Viral Video of the Month. The last one even comes with hidden MediaMountain product placementstoo. However, we didn’t stop there! The genius that is Tanner Hall has produced five beautiful powder runs set to the soundtrack of a classical piano and the result is...

...well, why not see for yourself!

Ski Resort Profile

Sölden: Electric Mountain Fest.

Most people know that if you're looking to party in the snow, Sölden is the place to be. However one thing has always been missing: a huge mountain music festival. Now though, all that is about to change. The Electric Mountain Festival will be taking place from the 9th until the 21st of April and will be hosting big names such as DJ Guetta, Snoop Dogg, Tara McDonald and DJ Antoine. It’s bound to be one heck of a party!

What the...

World Record Rail Sliding

Milton Keynes' indoor slope in the UK is the location, a 90 metre long rail is the setting. Will the current Guiness World Record of 68 metres, held by a Spanish boarder, be broken and thereby fall into British hands?

Have a look at this great event footage!

Ski & Innovation

The best ski app: Powfinder

WePowder started out as a small platform by powder skiing and boarding freaks from the Netherlands. Now, backed by Salomon, they've developed an international mobile app, desktop app and new website, all providing powder junkies with accurate info on where to expect the next dump of snow.

Powfinder: powder is a choice!

Unconventional Ad

Black Friday - USA: Outdoor clothing brand Patagonia took a rather unconventional marketing approach to Black Friday (main shopping day before Thanksgiving). Instead of running a last minute sales promotion, they did exactly the opposite.
