Arc'teryx King of Dolomites 2016 at San Martino di Castrozza

For the 4th year running San Martino di Castrozza, the Pale di San Martino massif and the entire Dolomites will act as the backdrop for Arc'teryx King of Dolomites, the photo contest that aims to capture the best backcountry off-piste photo of the Pale Mountains in their winter garb.

The dates for the 2016 edition are from 18 - 21 February and for the first time at KOD the teams will have to shoot four different subjects: Action, Landscape, Alpinism and the Special KOD2016, a visual comprised of a stunning freeride shot accompanied by a 140-character short story

As usual the riders and photographers are split into the categories PRO, for the professionals, and WANNABES, i.e. up to 100 teams of passionate mountain photographers, skiers, snowboarders and telemark skiers. The international jury comprised of Freerider Stian Hagen, photographer and editor of the Polish mountain magazine Gory Piotr Drozdz and director of photography Maxime Alexandre will proclaim the "King" of each category on Sunday afternoon.
