Steel speed riding is an extreme winter school. For a First Destination we venture to one of the northernmost regions of europe lapland is covered in snow for over five months of the year so its no wonder that artists from around the wells join force to create a socalled snow village in the finnish municipality of kitty let they make frozen sculptures arent installations and you can even stay in a hotel room made of ice the maximum stay is one nights dont let the frost bite. Unique village lies tucked away amid the snowy woods one hundred fifty kilometers north of finlands Arctic Circle its built entirely from ice and snow the snow village as its called cover some twenty thousand square meters. Smartest. Is one of its creators. For me it feels that im living my dream here in la plata i swear i would be by the nature and i converse with the material which is even bringing me closer to the nature it feels so good to be able to share this experience with the guests who obviously being in the snow or its. This years theme is game of thrones artists have carved characters and scenes from the hit t. V. Series out of ice visitors can even spend a night here. Guests staying in one of the ten igloo suites can sleep beside a white walker character. The body heat of two guests lets the temperature inside the igloo rise from minus five to zero degrees celcius the creators recommend spending no more than one night in these frosty temperatures a night for two costs three hundred fifty euros. Stephen marr and his partner lena zagel spent a night here curled up in sleeping bags suitable for subzero temperatures and additional fleece leaving banks comfortable hardly. Office old i guess that makes it so adventurous and youve got these warm floral patterns here so waking up to them in the cold morning is really special but it is a voluble to even as a song was put on it was. A new ice hotel has been built for seventeen years in a row now ice and snow artists from all over the world come here to build the snow village over the course of a month they use some twenty million key. Loads of snow and three hundred fifty thousand kilos of ice. Lighting is very important part of the art itself so one part is making that finding that are all from the snow but then its all off of the experience if properly comes alive. Rami offers Ice Sculpture workshops with his support Stephen Moore and his wife transform a block of ice into and intricately. Helps i knew it would be more difficult well just i didnt think it would be possible to actually carbon leave out of a block of ice in just one hour the tile. Is very brittle little mistakes can be fixed using body heat bits can be reattached that are broken all. This dragon was carved from twelve tons of ice. In the village attracts visitors from around the globe at the bar they can order drinks in the rocks as the glasses are made of ice. Guests can even marry here many couples tie the knot in the ice chapel. And theres an igloo restaurant. Eating here is a curious experience. It feels weak to be say cold and Holding Things as a cold and been told keep it you kept its on a name to eat from it this week will be pretty quick because it gets cold so that making. That mug. I didnt mean to do good and you can like stick to it you put your arms or anything on it. Ice art is a hands on experience but by april temperatures began rising and the Beautiful Creations start to melt. To be honest of course it feeds. When everything melts down but at the same time its so fascinating the work with the material and the art thats what you are creating is only existing such a short amount of time before disappearing so everything with this here you can experience only in the one winter when you come back in the next winter you cannot see the same art anymore. The artists already have some ideas for next years thing but before spring arrives thousands more visitors will flock here to see their unique winter wonderland.

The idea of turning fuse beads into art came from his children zelda and car sometimes they Work Together but these days the kids mostly leave the fuse beads to their father. Strange that papa works with beats one of my friends parents do that they earn money with real jobs. Hes probably the only one in the world who does this.

Now its time for some speed writing a sport that combines elements of kite surfing paragliding and skiing i know it sounds quite difficult and dangerous but all im asking you to do is watch it because it looks quite stunning we caught up with. A champion snowboarder who has spent over ten years developing this adrenaline pumping activity. Speed riding in the swiss alps going over hill and dale with a special parachute and skiing down pristine slopes at more than one hundred kilometers an hour this is speed riding a combination of paragliding and skiing for swiss extreme athlete and multiple World Champion only cation holds its the perfect sport if you go to the feeling you get speed riding is incredible because of the combination you can ski off a cliff and suddenly youre in the air flying and below you can see the next slope so you swoop in and your back to skiing this them to see them see for. All you need is a pair of skis and an eight to ten square metre wing to go off piste. Two courts help steer the wing into the air and back onto the snow. Only has been doing this for ten years three or four times a week. For misses that id want to build mostly is that it lets me reinterpret free riding on muta rights i can tackle new mountains and be the first to make the sense which wouldnt be possible otherwise the thought of the. Only catch that holds was born to ski from an athletic family he grew up in the swiss alps now hes active in ten different types of sports including skydiving parachuting and skateboarding. Hes been skiing since he was just three. He discovered snowboarding at the end of the one nine hundred eighty s. And went on to win fourteen world cup titles in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight he was the first snowboarder ever to win an olympic bronze medal in giant slalom at the winter games in nagano in two thousand and two thousand and one he won both World Championships back to back it was free riding skateboard a free riding on. Open terrain was always a big thing for me when i went to my final olympic competition in two thousand and six i wanted to concentrate on free riding from then on the writing courses but then i saw the first images of speed riding and i knew this is my saying this is. In two thousand and seven and two thousand and eight only cashed in host made a movie about speed writing his film play gravity shows the first speed writing dissents down the three swiss peaks mench and since then willy has also specialized in producing sports movies. Minister who im not very good at not doing things if i see something id like to do i need to try it. Speed writing is expensive but he highly recommends not scrimping on equipment all told a good parachute costs about three thousand euros and high quality material is the only way to ensure a safe descent he says today he and his friend want to try out a new route they start about two thousand seven hundred metres up in the bernese alps first they study the terrain and determine the route good preparation is vital. To get speed or obviously speed riding is dangerous you have a quick wing its small so you can build up lots of speed but its handling is sensitive if you manage it properly theres no problem but you really need to know yourself and your own limitations you need to know the weather conditions the mountain it then its fine and then this is absolute ok sounds simple enough but its far from being a sport for the masses experts gauge there are only about six hundred speed riders worldwide. Speed riding at speed riding has really developed in the last ten years if there was a little boom and lots of people got excited and joined but the noticed if you dont keep it up regularly it gets dangerous and so they lost interest today you have a core group of people who speed ride like me and do it really frequently writings over the weekend with finn father. Who really cashed in holt wants to continue developing the sport his landing in the shuffle bear valley marks the discovery of yet another speed writing trail. Lets settle our stomachs now with something tasty a pastry artist in ukraine has taken cake design to the next level dinara cosco combines baking expertise with technology she creates her very own free d. Printed molds that make her cakes look like intricately designed structures you can certainly tell she started out as an architect. With new ideas for form colors and in creating a. Three d. Printer in her living room makes it all possible this is where she created her personally designed baking. She runs through ten fifteen even more types to get the desired result there in the form. Of three d. Printing can often present problems. But. This one took fifteen hours we started on it yesterday evening which usually needs three days for our models once we even had a mall that took a week to print. On the computer she studied architecture but now specializes in baking molds so instead of buildings these days she designs ok. I found this image by chance online these are Magnetic Fields which produce the shapes. My first thought was that would work as a cake too. I bought this and wanted to cast it in silicone though its not quite perfect look the tip is slightly squarish at the what these here are fractals they all resemble one another with vegetables growing according to the rules of mathematics when people ask me where i get my inspiration with the it can come from anywhere even from a vegetable like this. From the architecture of the home city how to keep in North Eastern ukraine. Kharkiv has never been known for its baking but thats changing now thanks to dinner designs and internet success. She now has more than half a million followers on instagram. Online success has led to. Holding workshops all over the world of the architecture of design. Was the only thought of it is the worst if you want to achieve a wavy form you have to remember that everything here consists of moves of gelatin it all melts very fast and falls apart so you always have to think of something or put it all on a Chocolate Base to support it or change something in the interior construction. It. Making something classic with eggs flour batter. But what she enjoys new challenges. I want right now im interested in recipes that ban lots of things recipes for vegetarians and vegans or people with allergies that places great restrictions on you you cant use the usual ingredients and you really have to think about it a bit of it and apply what you learned in school about physics and chemistry. After half an hour in the freezer the dough is solid enough to be taken out of this for the con for. All thats lacking no is the color. And so out with the spray gun there is cakes always follow the laws of mathematics and are inspired by architectural forms. You know because school has found a new niece with designs. On her for the oh my career to instagram and other social networks the gather wise id still be sitting around at home and no one would have learned anything about my work out of. The kitchen and how to keep few crane out into the big wide world thanks to instagram and countless hours of hard work on the computer. One of the best ways to get through the long and cold winter is to embrace the elements and enjoy some seasonal entertainment a great example is holiday on ice one of the worlds most famous ice shows twenty eighteen marks an important milestone for the touring company they have now been going to seventy five years we took a look at their latest show called atlantis. This is one of the worlds longest running shows holiday on ice now entering it seventy three here its an acrobatic adventure of sorts some thirty five skaters take to the ice in a program that changes every year one of the principle stars of the show is twenty five year old mighty long graf hes already had a long and successful skating career and this is yet another feather in his cap other than i am i just the words of god just i showed you could hear the audience he stood like right after the first number and that keeps you motivated to go out to get. This years story centered around the legend of atlantis monte plays one of its richest inhabitants a man who seduces dozens of women before atlantis sinks underwater. Legend has it the ancient utah big city suddenly disappeared due to the gods anger at the population to greet. The costume story ideas and choreography have come a long way in seventy five years holiday on ice began in one thousand and forty three in the United States over the years it has grown as a production introducing new characters and attracting many stars its audience has also grown steady over the years the shows signature opulence has remained consistent throughout. Even after seventy five years holiday on i still remains one of the most successful shows of its kind thanks in no small part to the theatrical performances its creative directors are always on the lookout for the most modern concepts to keep the audiences in awe. Im a big fan of game of thrones and i love the opulence and the beauty and the slight feel of of history but i wanted to give it a modern edge so if if we thought atlantis was alive now. Artois this is how i would i would think it would look holiday and i says chalked up a number of records its the most visited i show in the world with over three hundred twenty nine million audience members it also appears in the guinness book of World Records five times. The skaters who want to participate must have experience like julie sherry from switzerland another principle skater in the show up till two years ago she was competing on an international level. By the invade to be bad but the most attention is you feel more under pressure on the atmosphere is tense. And yet now i notice that the show is how we can all enjoy it because we have put a show together all of this can and does socially orientated so this larry family and we show that to the outside weld this gave me enough house and. A sign from the skating acrobatics n. P. R. Trickle performances the costumes also play a central role created by International DesignerMichael Sharpe they were a major endeavor with many launches sticks.
