Episode 3 (Monday, January 29th, 8:15 p.m., ORF 1 and from Sunday, January 28th, 8:15 p.m., ORF ON and TVthek app)
Nikki (Imre Lichtenberger) is a promising ski talent, but what he lacks is the discipline to get to the top. He got into the academy easily, and not just because his father is the headmaster. Skiing is in Nikki’s blood, but what he’s really looking for is his place in life. He wants to rebel against his father, but also wants to reconcile with him after he moves to Switzerland with his mother after his parents’ divorce. At school he learns about the deceased student Paul (Nikolaus Lessky), a boy whom Nikki’s father allegedly drove to suicide. Between the first attempts to approach Nawal (Luna Mwezi) and Dani (Emilia Warenski), Nikki has to avoid the hostility in the village and get to the bottom of it.
Episode 4 (Monday, January 29th, 9:05 p.m., ORF 1 and from Sunday, January 28th, 9:05 p.m., ORF ON and TVthek app)
Luca (Mikka Forcher) has spent his entire life in the mountains of Tyrol and grew up with his mother, who struggles to survive financially as a tenant of a ski hut. With his idiosyncratic driving style, he can master every slope and every mountain at record speed. As an absolutely exceptional talent, he makes it to school, even though he obviously has social deficits. He wants to ski professionally in order to provide his mother and himself with a secure existence, but with increasing social obligations he becomes a ticking time bomb. In an attempt to market the new students, Luca is sent on a promo tour with heli-skiing with Dani. Luca once again goes his own way and puts his life in danger.
