En septembre 2016, Pierre et Julien Colonge, fondateurs de l'association Ubac Images, partaient au Chili avec pour objectif de grimper et de skier 18 volcans au sud du pays. Après 8 volcans, Pierre fit une chute mortelle en grimpant le volcan Villarica. En septembre 2017, Julien décide de repartir et terminer ce projet en compagnie d’Anthony Calvet, le meilleur ami de Pierre. Même si la montagne comporte des risques, la mort d’un frère ou d’un ami est un événement tragique. Voici l’hist...

In September 2016, Pierre and Julien Colonge, founders of the Ubac Images association, travelled to Chile with objective of climbing and skiing on 18 volcanoes in the South of the country. After summiting 8 volcanoes, Pierre had a deadly fall whilst cilmbing the Villarrica. In September 2017, Julien teamed up with Anthony Calvet, Pierre's best friend, in order to go back and finish this project. Mountains are a risky environment, but the loss of a brother and a friedn is a truly dramatic...

Fin de la saison avec le magnifique couloir Nord-Ouest de l'Ólafsfjarðarmúli. Assez symbolique de terminer cette première saison "après" en Islande, dans un pays où j'ai énormément de souvenirs avec Pierre Colonge. #senditforpierre Un TRES bon moment de ski avec William, Cyril, Quentin et Sébastien.

Après le Chili et le Japon, Julien Colonge nous emmène en Asie Centrale, dans la république du Kirghizistan, pour 2 semaines de ski de rando aux côtés de Florian Studer, Martin Méric et Matthieu Winterhalter. La première semaine est dédiée à la découverte de la vallée de Suusamyr, qui offre une infinité de pentes vierges à explorer, dans une neige de cinéma. La deuxième semaine est consacrée à la découverte du village ouzbek d'Arslanbob au Sud-Ouest du pays, un endroit hors du temps, où le...

Le résumé d'une semaine de ski de randonnée / alpinisme dans les merveilleuses Dolomites. Une région des Alpes à part, le paradis du ski de couloir. Une vidéo dédiée à Pierrot Colonge, membre fondateur de l'association Ubac Images.

In January 2017, Julien Colonge, Sébastien Varlet, Loïc Burri and Pierre Houillon headed to Nagano region, deep into the island of Honshu, Japan. The arrival was quite disappointing: it's pouring! Indeed Japan had been affected by new meteorological phenomena called Pineapple Express. Fortunately for us, things quickly went back to normal, and more than 2m50 of Japow fell from the sky in about 8 days. Enough to get drowned in powder whilst thinking a lot about Pierre Colonge. But Japan...

Au mois d'août 2016, les frères Pierre et Julien Colonge de l'association Ubac Images partaient au Chili avec pour objectif de gravir et skier 18 volcans dans le sud de la Cordillère des Andes. Après avoir déjà skié 8 volcans, Pierre chute mortellement lors de l'ascension du Villarica. Cette vidéo, réalisée en hommage à Pierre Colonge, et portée par les mots de son frère, retrace leur périple avant cet accident, et tente d'expliquer ce que le ski peut représenter, au-delà d'un simple sport de...

Summer 2015 looks a little bit more painful for Pierre and Anthony. As summer 2014, they traveled one more time with their "camping-car" but more in the East, to find huge mountains, tranquility & beautiful landscapes. Benvenuti nelle Dolomiti!

A bit of trail-running with Anthony Calvet in Chamonix. #senditforpierre

A bit of trail-running with Anthony Calvet in Chamonix.

The Whisky Trail This summer, Pierre & Anthony once again took the road with their "camping-car". This year they travelled to the North, to find huge mountains, tranquility and beautiful landscapes. It took them 24 hours to reach the Isle of Skye, after taking the "Eurotunnel train", driving through England and Scotland and having the usual break in Edinburgh. They experienced any weather you can imagine, but they never forgot why they went there: To explore through this new landscape wit...

In April 2015, the Ubac Images team headed to Iceland for 10 days of free-touring. Season 2 of our webseries then ends with this 100% free-touring episode integraly filmed in the Trolls country.

We are back in Switzerland, in Verbier / Le Chable, for our very first heliski session! Down at the heliport, we couldn't see much, a nice sea of clouds overcasted the whole valley. Quite disappointing. But after a few minutes, the sun came through, and it was ON. 2 runs on the menu: - first one on the Glacier du Trient, over the clouds it was amazing, "Welcome to Paradise" - for the second we were supposed to go to the Petit Combin, but the chopper was short on gas so we went back t...

Since the beginning of the season, we were green with envy watching all the pictures and videos from Japan, where snow conditions looked amazing. We then decided to go there as well, but our bank advisors said no. Our disappointment didn't last for long, as Japan itself decided to come and visit us on the first week of February 2015. With more than 1m50 of fresh snow on the resorts of the Portes du Soleil in Haute-Savoie, we finally turned our dream of skiing in Japan into reality. On t...

Snow conditions were rather bad in early 2015, but it has finally arrived, with some huge quantities! Here is a footage of all my Freeride sessions from January 2015, recorded with my Gopro. I would also like to thank my sponsors and partners: - Salomon - Meltonic - Milwaukee Enjoy!

New snowfall means new episode for Ubac Images! For this 3rd episode, we travelled to Austria, more precisely the resort of Sankt Anton am Arlberg. This place is well-known for freeriding, and we were eager to verify it by ourselves. On the first day, the weather was splendid, the couloirs looked amazing, but that was just a huge trap: 30cm of fresh snow on nothing but abrasive rocks... But after looking around a bit, we found some nice lines! Even before finishing our beer, the snow...

Today is a great day of winter 2015!!! Not only it is dumping, but above all it is the release of the second episode of Ubac Images! Initially, the idea was for Pierre and Julien to climb the Roc d'Enfer and to ride down a nice couloir. Unfortunately, conditions were more suitable for snow-kite than freeriding, and snow accumulations looked very unstable. Change of plans, let's go to Verbier, where Seb greeted us with a good 20cm of fresh snow. Champagne powder, amazing lights, the per...

Second episode of Ubac Images for the winter 2013-2014. It has been quite hard for us to shoot this January, with still some bad weather and us being quite busy. Anyway, here is a short summary of our sessions in Verbier and Avoriaz. Stay tuned for episode 3 in early March, with more shots (hopefully)!!!

First episode of Ubac Images for the winter 2013-2014. There was so little snow in Haute-Savoie in December 2013, that we decided to hit the road and search for it. We stopped first in Verbier, where the snow conditions were quite similar, with many SHARKS. On our second stop in Vars, the storm DIRK finally greeted us with some wet snowflakes. Finally we ended up in Montgenèvre, where the snow was amazing, but the strong winds and the very unstable snowcover forced us to ride betw...

After some good results on the European Freeride Juniors Tour, Pierre took part in the Junior Freeride World Championships organized on 5th and 6th April 2013 in Snowbird, Utah. I followed and coached my brother during this AWESOME week and managed to put together this video, which inludes some shots of the competition runs of most European riders. Enjoy and share!

24th February 2013, the visbility was so poor in La Mongie that we went for the Lienz forest in Barèges, where a thin layer of fresh snow had fallen. Music: Bonobo - Kiara Riders: Pierre & Julien Colonge
