War Story - Salomon Freeski TV S8 E06

When the Salomon crew arrives at the lodge high in the Italian Dolomites, they discover the mountain they are skiing on was the front line in World War 1.

I love how they managed to combine the history of the place with the skiing . Nice job guys!

Hey Mike these videos do not get enough attention. I am so thankful that you make these videos! This season hasn't been to great this year so far in BC but these videos keep the ski dreams alive!

SalomonFreeski TV just keeps on getting better and better

Great video.  It is always nice to see the history and the stories of the places you go.  That to me is the whole package.  That is why I love to ski in Europe and particularly that area.  Learning about the history enriches the whole ski/travel experience.  Well done.

I like the stories in SFTV, that's what makes it a unique series. Keep up the good work Switchback and Mike D!

Dolomites are such powerful mountains engraved with history, human endeavour and stories of individuals who perished during the WW1

Awesome as always, but I miss the "Next time on Salomon Freeski T.V. ..." :P

Didn't know I was watching a documentary on a war with some skiing clips thrown in

[teekanne]

sometimes you overdo it a little with the drama salomon. Like your videos none the less :)

Would be nice if you write in the Description the Date when the film was taken..

"Like a stale block of Swiss cheese". Such a cheesy comment considering the location!

Hey Mike, I think you have been doing a great work with Switchbak and Salomon, but please try to put some more skiing into the videos. I like the new videos a lot, but I get the impression you are focusing more on the plot of the video and leaving the skiing behind sometimes. Creativity is great, but each episode there is less and less skiing, short shots and too much using of slow motion, as if there wasn't enough filming done and it had to be filled with other stuff.  This is just constructive criticism, but otherwise great video, as always!

great mix of history and snow porn. Well does as always and I cant wait for the next episode

What's the name of the intro song?

Would like to see more skiing... Feels like most skiing videos today is just powder turns in slowmotion in front of the camera and talking... Just my opinion, but nevertheless, awesome video!
