10 BREATHTAKING WEB EPISODES THAT DEFINE THE ITALIAN ART OF FREESKIING IN THE DOLOMITES,
For centuries art, design and Italian style have taught us that “less is more”. And in the modern freeride of the Bel Paese there is a sensational interpreter, still unknown, who has redefined the approach to steep skiing in the Dolomites. For the freeskier Alberto Ronchi the art of skiing is expressed in “less turns, more speed”.
He is the spokesman of a new way of skiing the narrow slopes of the Pale Mountains. From the legendary Holzer and Vallencant couloir to the most hidden recesses of Sella, his vision is clear and his sessions are astonishing. Alberto covers the most demanding chutes with extreme continuity, from 45 ° to 55 °, with minimum curves
and, consequently, maximum speed. What was considered extreme, today becomes the paradigm of a new style of skiing. Alberto brings a clean, fluid style and unimaginable speed where the inconstant snow conditions, exposure or natural obstacles are critical.
“The complete and evocative lines of the couloirs of the Dolomites have always inspired me. As a local, and accomplice the excellent season 2017, I believe in the opportunity to transform dreams into projects to accomplish: to draw new lines of the extreme, even where we believe it’s difficult to do it.“ – Alberto Ronchi
His “disruptive” approach is documented in the Web series “Linea” that testifies to this
new vision of skiing where every slope must be unconditionally “virgin”, dropped non-stop, in the best conditions from top to bottom and the weather must allow the
realisation of scenic shots by a drone.
Accomplice to the adventure, which led to the creation of the 10 episodes, documenting the descent of these iconic couloirs in the Sella Group, Pale di San Martino, … was Filippo Menardi, Alpine Guide and Ski Instructor from Cortina, the director and trusted partner of each of these epic days.
“As the saying goes even the eye wants to feast. I wanted to capture these enterprises
from above with technique and ability. The use of a drone has enabled us to put
aesthetics at the center” – Filippo Menardi
The episodes of “Linea” distance themselves from the corresponding American and
French projects. The films are characterized by a deliberately simple editing that render protagonist the aesthetics of the couloir and the consistent skiing of Alberto Ronchi.
”Linea” has also aroused the excitement of freeskiers Luca Tavian and Damiano
Basso, communication artists, who, with their professional contribution, will inspire the
community of international enthusiasts of this discipline through Social media placing at the center of the show the extraordinary lines of the Dolomites and the undisputed new protagonist of the freeski scene.
