This weekend the Test To Believe Tour is at the Kaunertal Glacier in Austria's Tirol region. The snow on the glacier is in prime condition after some great early season snowfalls and with the terrain park already in operation, Kaunertal is a great place to demo every type of ski and snowboard, from park cruisers to backcountry missiles.
In "Love from Above", a short movie by Julien Lange and Gpsy Feelin, Julien proves that an injury plagued season doesn't have to be a wasted season. Armed with his Facelift skis and with help from his crew, Julien ventured deeper into the incredible backcountry terrain surrounding Tignes to film new and challenging lines.
This week the temperature dropped to below freezing in the Bavarian Alps and the heavens opened leaving a blanket of snow for Amplid's ultra-eager office team to poach.

The Milligram continues its ascent to legendary status by winning a "Selection 2017" award from French ski touring magazine "Ski Rando". The testers were blown away with the Milligram's combination of lightweight construction and killer performance.

Whitelines Magazines, an online publication which has been delivering snowboard content to UK shredders since the early 90ies, took Amplid's do-everything twin, the Stereo for a cruise last spring at the UK board test on the Kaunertal Glacier. This is what they thought.
Exotics Skis' Eric Edelstein knows a thing or two about testing skis, since starting his blog Exotics skis he must have tested hundreds of pairs from small and independent manufacturers. Based on the US' East Coast he experiences a huge range of conditions, so we thought what better ski to test than the Alter Ego? Here's what he had to say after months of testing.
Last winter Amplid team riders Kevin Salonius and Christian Stromberg teamed up with photo/film mega talent, Stephan Sutton, to film their winter skiing urban spots in Helsinki.

It's a movie you don't want to miss.
Blister tester Andrew Forward spent more than a month in the extremes of Alaska last spring, climbing in excess of 6000ft daily and putting the Amplid Milligram through the most rigorous test.
