As a former ski mountaineering racer and ultra-trail runner, Philipp’s name is one clearly linked to great speed traverses. One stand-out feat was his 2018 traverse from Vienna to Nice (completed with other ski mountaineers). An accomplished photographer (you’ve probably seen some of his work in Skialper), he now also works in marketing for the Austrian ski brand Augment. He rejoins our testing team after a sabbatical — on the Light category, naturally.
