Easily one of the most beautiful and traditional World Cup races on the whole circuit, Wengen is a magical alpine wonderland filled with cog trains, racers, raclette and fighter jets buzzing through majestic mountain peaks at warp speed. You really can't anticipate the fun and alpine beauty you will experience over the course of the week until suddenly, you are drowning in it like a piece of bread falling into a bubbling pot of hot fondue.
Always the biggest and most wild trip of the season, the Austrian DreamTrip is unpredictable, crazy and beyond fun. Joining us for this year's trip was former World Cup and USA Olympic racer AJ Kitt. We had a passionate group of skiers and race fans with us, and it was quite possibly the wildest trip ever.
Our home for the week was at the World Cup famous Moelgg Family Residence in San Vigilio. We can walk to Kronplatz and we have old farms mixed with new lodges all around us. The cute horses across the street liked Dave because he brought them carrots. It snowed our first night too and we had great skiing and the food.... well that is almost the whole reason for going.
It's never too early to stock up and look good for next seasons DreamTrips. To celebrate our new partner Elevenate, we put together this sweet package deal to get things started right. We took their highly technical and cozy Combin GORE-TEX Infinium down jacket for cold days in the mountains and combined it with our matching Eisbar ADL DreamTrips Beanie. The matching combo will set you apart from the crowd and keep you warm in any condition. Perfect for strolling around the villages of Wengen, Kitz and Chamonix. Save when you buy the set.
Freeriding in the huge mountains of Engelberg with a small group of ADL original Dream trippers Scott and Lorne Lewis, Kris Hendricks and rookie Patrick Brown. The reported low snowpack had us nervous but after a 6000' tram ride from the town to the top peak our fears were put to rest. Great snow and wild terrain, marked with glaciers, rocks and chutes awaited us just steps from the lifts. Ginormous might not be a word but the terrain at Engelberg was huge.
We had a group of 11 enthusiastic friends and family book out the whole trip a year in advance. These people wanted the full Chamonix experience and I think we delivered. The valley hadn’t seen new snow in over a month when we arrived but, the ADL magic followed us in just like at Engelberg. We skied the Valle blanche from the Italian side on the first day with powder in 40 days. We always try to check all the boxes… not too many were left empty on this trip.

Not everyone can go to Kitzbuhel and Wengen on our DreamTrips so watching the races at home is always a great second option. Fortunately there are numerous streaming options available for us to tune in to all the action.

The masks are off but not the gloves. We have two rounds for you to spar gates with ski racing legends Phil & Steve Mahre this this June! We created a special new camp this summer where we will stay altogether right on the mountain at the exclusive Silcox Lodge - it's the only ski in ski out camp on Mt Hood and is sure to be filled with great fun and memories. We will also offer a back to back option with our traditional 4 day GS camp that we have successfully run for the last 11 years.
It was a question raised in a famous article in Powder Magazine 15 or 20 years ago and although the sport has survived since then, if you read the local group chats and ski news around America the last few years, you will undoubtedly start asking yourself if indeed, the sport of skiing has finally lost its soul.
Back again to the big mountains of Chamonix, the Valle Blanch, Grand Montets, Courmayeur – Italy, a little Switzerland and Megeve. We had blue bird days all week which is quite rare for Chamonix – Read more…

In Kitzbuhel and Austria we overcame the challenges, cashed in favors, got tickets to the races, threw down some Williams and even skied some powder. Daron Rahlves led a few of our brave souls down a dark and twisty trail and showed them some of our hidden secrets in Kitzbuhel. We even made it over to Zurs and learned why it was always Warren Miller's favorite destination.
