Davos Nordic is always kind of special: for one, it’s the first continental stage of the FIS Ski World Cup…
It is also the first one on altitude – and heck, it’s arguably the fanciest place the international ski circus is travelling to in its season.
…The following photo-spread is not about who came first (although, if you’re Johannes Klaebo you automatically get more media & fans’attention) After all, that’s what a multi-camera television broadcast does the best in effort to inform you.
We, however, try to add to it by giving you a glimpse into what happens before, after & behind the scenes as the world best skiers meet in the Swiss Alps
Enjoy – and write to us who and what you’d like to see captured next time!
