Airbag packs, famous beacons, shovels, some of the best. K2 has the skis that stay true to backcountry skiing. Backcountry skiing equipment from Voile is hightly recommended.

Italian desert.

If you made it this far let's lighten things up from the greyscale with a nice Italian desert offering. Any of you Italy experts know what this is?

    Looks like that dessert has dark chocolate on it, but aside from that, I can’t name it.

    Terrific, poetic photo essay – very enjoyable and with out those needless calories.

    That dessert looks delicious, like many good Italian foods, it starts with good ingredients (for 4 persons):

    150 gms torrone
    1 egg white
    100 gms sugar
    200 gms cream to whip
    2 tbsp toasted hazelnuts, chopped
    1 pinch salt

    made with one of the most popular Italian Christmas sweets: torrone
