In February 2016, Gear4guides, along with International Peace Park Expeditions, travelled with Faction athletes Sam Anthamatten and Arnaud Rougier to explore a cross border section of the Peaks Balkan Trail. Part of one of the newest National Parks in the world, the area, shared by Kosovo and Montenegro, has a troubled past but the communities are now working together towards a positive future. The group travelled to donate equipment and educate local mountains groups in skills and safety to enable them to develop sustainable winter tourism opportunities for the remote mountain communities in this area of outstanding natural beauty.

The tittle says it all. The first Smelly Socks mini movie is here and it's all about the summer vibe. Daniel and Antti spent a week filming with Martin in a little, but super fun, snowpark at GFS camp Faction team week in French Tignes. Than drove together to Les Deux Alpes to be joined by Tom Ritsch and Zuzicka Stromkova to finish the filming and do million summer laps with pretty sick crew of homies. This is the result of our European summer mission. Hope you will enjoy it as much as we did...

One afternoon I took a Countour camera for a ride in Balme, during the last Faction skis webisode shooting and this came up. Some of the shots are overexposed - sorry for that - probably too much bluebird, hah. You can see some "behind" the scenes shots, that were actually used in the webisode. If you haven´t seen it yet - check it at factionskis.com Hope you´re gonna enjoy it, peace.
