taking a ride on the wild side we will find out what your all mixed reporter man's merrill is up to later on in the show. everyone is welcome to another fun filled edition of your own max i'm your host meghan lee here's a look at what we've got in store for you today. from the caves to the plate find out where your king crab comes from. and why this is our newest treasons detained in the still of the night. we kick off today's show in the snow and on the slopes of switzerland now skiing is a fun and exciting winter sport but it takes its toll on nature trees are cut down

to make way for lifts and trails increasing the risk of avalanches more and more operators will lie on artificial snow which uses up tons of water and energy well to reduce the impact of the damage to the environment some resorts are taking action but the question remains can skiing ever become environmentally friendly we visited the resort of lax to find out. perched high in one of europe's largest ski areas is switzerland locks region a prime winter sports destination it's set to become the 1st energy self-sufficient carbon neutral winter resorts in the alps with the help of g.p.s. snow cannons use less water and energy and the snow groomers have hybrid drives. we find it very important that we take care of your apartment because we want our grandchildren to be able to ski here too and of course use the extremists to to not destroy the planet or to not destroy paradise my goodness we're going to try and

turn so we live what we do and if lux's doing taking some steps to do that that's great but not everybody sees things quite as optimistically cover of those or of the international commission for the protection of the alps takes a more critical view of the locks initiative. i think that the constitution is rain soaked artificial snow really what people are looking for up here above 1100 meters winter sports and all the infrastructure that comes along with them plus the noise and the emissions they have an effect on the countryside and in addition to the enormous power consumption there are other factors that harm nature and biodiversity and then up destroying what people come to the alps for in the 1st place. nature scenery and relaxation. and sustainable relaxation is the business of hotel buildings in locks that were made from local materials and designed to be energy efficient. the writer's hotel was

conceived to impart to escapist a holistic consciousness the minimalistic interiors are meant to reject a throw away mentality. the best with your example here we have those chairs from their very sustainable they'll never lose their value because they never break if they do we can get the parts to fix them. is furnished with vintage pieces and the restaurant only offers vegetarian dishes. pascale birching or cuts back on c o 2 by cooking with the electricity supplied to the hotel by hydro electric and solar power plants. even so barbara voser isn't impressed. to death given to people spend thousands of francs for this think at least i think the most important thing is to respect your surroundings we have to preserve our

bond with the nature we have here to see it and experience. come. to know it is in the soft valley about 30 kilometers from locks. hamlet with barely $100.00 inhabitants simple guest rooms to tourists. the toll lift is powered with solar energy. in the shelf of bagger is one of 10 as residents who's committed to developing low impact tourism. and yes this is china's solar lift the 1st in the world solar power is pulling us up the mountain or we're as authentic as we can manage so. what we offer is what we have here and the way we live year round. but. most of the tourists who come to tennant arrive by bus revenue by car it helps cut down their carbon footprint but not all skiers can go to small resorts like tennis the big winter sports clubs have

to take action to. just one for so they can improve on what's already there with small initiatives knox might set an example and in that way contribute if even a little to more sustainability of course it's all for show and nowadays sustainability has become a lifestyle choice and businesses cater to their guests needs that guest event we're already thinking about the youngest generation the protesters and such eventually they'll come up here for vacation. and if it includes. skiing with a clear conscience lox is doing its part to keep environmentally aware skiers on the slopes. moving on now from the slopes to spiky long legs king crabs with their claws that look like scissors don't look like much of a delicacy but their tender white meat is relished in all corners of the world but

do you know where your red king crab is from all things to an innovative tracking system customers can now not only enjoy their crab meat they can also learn all about their dinners origins. in our region king crab is a prized delicacy all over the world the station's long spindly legs are full of tender juicy meat london's beast restaurant specializes in their preparation head chef phil campbell works by the principle of less is more. as we spend so much fun sourcing our our products we just like to allow the crowd that can crowd to do all of the talk and we don't want to mess around with a garner shared we don't want to serve it with anything with the exception of just a little bit. of garlic and lemon butter and this just helps to give a bit of acidity and earthiness which compliments the crowd very nicely. with the

help of a q.r. code each king crab served here can be sourced back right to where it was hauled up from the depths. so it's really interesting they can think your head into the one that really would have a right to the date it was there for the patient it was mission at hand and one of the mildest in the fishermen if they did it nicely and let you visualize kind of an ocean near the north pole where the power was going to finish there and it really gave us stories of the math there were 8000 michael. the king crabs are caught in the waters off northern norway from the fishing village to gunnison around 500 kilometers north of the arctic circle they're shipped all over the world. here the freshly caught crabs are tagged and kept in huge chains until they're ready for shipping we treat groves. very good here like

a 5 star hotel when tribes come here they don't but they don't come 1st they get relaxed to see him here they're getting the. good quality water inside and we change them once twice every day to make sure the big. i have everything all they need so they can be fresh i live a good quality. dick hosts crab feasts for tourists he catches the dinner himself in special crab traps using fresh fish meat as bait. car of the goals of the crabs we catch range between $3.00 and $3.00 and a half kilograms so if you've got $200.00 of them you can just imagine how heavy that is not true and they take up lots of space because they're so big. it's not so much their weight as their huge water resistance that we have to overcome.

when king crab can weigh up to 17 kilos with a lake span of up to one metre 18. investigations originated from the bering sea off precious come check get peninsula in the 1960 s. russian scientists introduced them to the barents sea to serve as a protein rich food source for the locals and an absence of any natural enemies the crab spread as far as norway there they became something of a tourist attraction. when the furious are frozen over the crab fishers drill holes into the ice to lay their traps the freshly caught crabs are then cooked for 10 to 15 minutes in salty water at 60 degrees celsius and served with melted butter or cocktail sauce. it was well see and you see i like this just a lot this room and see. that over there your being here if you live near

the u.s. part of what is. in london to diners have developed a taste for this fine delicacy and the tracking option gives it all a modern flair having transparency the food is so good because the thing is as soon . we've become so disassociated with the food we have a get to go supermarket you know we pull out whatever we go yeah ok this we can actually see the full journey it's important for me i want to know where my food has come from and how it got here you know i want to have a greater depth and reverence for the whole process from norway spar north to the core i'm a tables around the world the king crab cull unary tale worth telling. next we head back to the snow. this time for a bit of an adventure your own max reporter max merrill took on a sledding challenge in austria and now it seems as sledding is becoming a popular alternative to skiing in some winter resorts so max decided to take this

pastime to another level by entering a race and he shows 'd us that this kind of sledding is anything but child's play. i mean 14 kilometers it's one of the longest sled runs in the world and post to quite a unique race my mission as always is to take part even though i'm a complete novice. anyone can enter but the event attracts the best toboggan ists me myself on an impressive pieced everyone makes it down sooner or later it's just a question of how and when growing up my favorite winter activity was going to programming but anyone who thinks it's all child's play but never been to this race . takes place in the austrian town of but i'm back to all rather than the beach

club and. i came a day early to get in an afternoon test run i've even hired the sled i'm like skiing there is no special training but i'm still not left to my own devices cole is a passionate toboggan honest and a leading role for a team when it comes to sled runs. those who wouldn't get going and has existed for a long while but tell me exactly how did this tradition start as a. well the 1st sled race was held in davos around 889 and since then the classic davos lead has been developed into a more flexible one with movable runners that's what makes it more of a dent amec piece of sports equipment and it's more fun to ride. accompanies me down the now doc pieced luckily this is the world's longest lived sled from. after a good night's sleep i'm up to register for the race and get ready. for mom is also

taking part and certainly more confident than i am and i know it was a cold night which means the piece very slick what sort of speed in kilometers per hour might get about 60 or 70 in the quickest sections and often that's seriously fast. i've got a pretty good view from up here and it seems daunting. but it seems like i'm the only person worried the other participants young and old alike are all looking forward to the breakneck speeds. that you guys can that's the level i was basically born on a sled that. can be bought from these i notice for me to is the best one in europe

or better you bet best the world's best best of it let's just break if you get to fast enough i get a quick crash course on how to break and steer them isn't for me to flop brake with your feet on the ground on to steer you push the runner with your foot on the go all the inner steel cable and lean into the curb if you can push. and off we go every 30 seconds the next competitor takes off. up to 100 people are racing against the clock. to conditions today all great barely a bump in sight i'm starting to pick up some real pace much sooner than i thought. i can brake and i'm slowly starting to trust my steering skills. well that was amazing sometimes it was a little bit like riding a wild animal sometimes a bit like driving

a speeding car without any brakes i did get used to it a little bit before. and i feel really good now. in the end pretty much everyone was faster than. just 14 minutes for 14 kilometers my time was about double that but i've already set my sights on my next winter adventure. i wanted to see max wife. are you can see more of his adventure on our youtube channel. this source of light is always important when it comes to painting but what happens when an artist chooses to paint in the dark german painter to look at zilker borg heads out in nature to as she puts it see the unseen well even in the dead of night she still manages to bring nothingness to life in the landscape around her or we went along to see the results.

silk asuka board works through the night and outdoors. equipped only with a gas lamp a compass and a paints and brushes she seeks out isolated spots where she can paint the night sky . while most people lie snug in their beds she gets to work sometimes 3 or 4 nights a week the circumstances allow. the thought we often have spot on my list i often ask myself why do i paint the night. but it's simply a realm of experience that daytime can't offer all the things i see in daylight or just so much distraction. and that night to see more surfaces than textures i see more nothing than anything. in the mists of the fear and so i have the freedom to interpret it any way i want it and i ended up at the subject she's painting this particular night it is the

vast complex of the law in a works there leipsic with all its refineries and chemical plants. joiners just so extremely illuminated. by. its lit up like a festival in the test benoist all. now many places are truly dark at night since the introduction of electric lighting cities an industrial areas are as bright as day even in the dead of night or. this light pollution or light smog the strips are sleep and the saurians many nighttime creatures. lists walk on me violent i feel ambivalent about light smog because from an artistic perspective i find it interesting and attractive. but from the standpoint of reason of course i know it's a disaster. the buildings of

a former cotton mill in leipzig provide space for artists like the international acclaimed painter nero. also has her studio here she generally doesn't show up until the afternoon she sleeps through most mornings and often won't make it to bed before 4 am the next day. the works that take shape overnight in the field get their finishing touches here. and thank a when i start out i think this is crazy what am i doing this is absurd. but when i'm on site i forget about all the effort and i become part of the night. i'm absolutely fascinated by how the night swallows everything up looked on and suddenly makes the 10 people become intangible. when soca 1st started painting the night 10 years ago she was trying to find out how to perceive the

surroundings. later she better own lightning books and paper the night sky in various places from portugal in the south of europe to denmark in the north. with dark ties in with a long tradition in the arts. the martyr her foot museum in western germany is holding an exhibition titled in the spotlight of the night life in the gloom it looks at how various artists interpret night and how electric light has transformed the dark. silk a suitable painting hell are brights is the main attraction it shows the lights of a sprawling city from a bird's eye view. she worked on the massive 8 by 3 meter 60 painting for 3 years for once entirely in or studio. and.

it's a huge surprise. i've only seen it in my studio and throughout the process of creating it context i did the now to see it in a different context next to works of other artists it's fantastic that. silk of silk of work can't even imagine painting anything but the night she'd like to put the northern lights over iceland on canvas. and the luminous and seeds off in the knees or the darkest nights of africa or the bright star the skies over the atacama desert in south america. to paint the many faces of darkness would need more than one lifetime she says. and finally we are off to a restaurant in barcelona that offers an out of this world experience the off new rises above the city like a spaceship that's landed on the edge of town now the restaurant leaves no stone unturned to offer its guest

a night of surprises that appeal to all the senses. c it's not an opera house it's a restaurant. and it doesn't just serve food each course is performed whether asian green curry with king prawns and see your chins or breast of lamb on arabian baba going to show with creamy saffron. here each dish is presented with its own show and lighting. this restaurant perched on the roof of a 5 star hotel in barcelona could easily be some alien space ship the new is a genuinely unique experience. even the welcome is somewhat out of this world. what is the inches they need those that. patrons check in and take seats under the geodesic dome 105 meters above the lights

of barcelona. and jaime lieberman are the space ships captains are hit shifts with the help of an 8 man crew they prepare a menu that excites the taste buds and a few other senses to. look good i must carry up which i did a moment ago we want to entice all the senses activate them from the 1st moment on that hearing seeing tasting it all so the whole body with all its senses can enjoy the meal i'm going to get out of and experience with. the principle has a name neuro gastronomy aim is to merge all the sensory experiences from. the 2 chefs experiment with the greens from the arab world from asia and south america and they even roast a carpenter answer to. the cutting edge l.e.d. lighting effects and spatial sounds from 60 speakers round off the audio visual

aspects. of every course is accompanied by the appropriate omni on. if for instance the amazon is a theme the mood lighting has to reflect the temperature and humidity of the amazon region. and the dance that's performed complements all this. so all the senses are merged so how it works. we know this is the sky bar mood lighting. the courses are served in meticulous coordination with the choreography. well the diners are spirited off to the rainforest the kitchen crew arranges the dishes to harmonize with the jungle atmosphere. all made with exotic ingredients hardly ever seen in any european cuisine. smoked red mullet's on

a banana leaf accompanied by a peach palm fruit sauce and brazilian a side varies served with a kasama texture with a brown butter moose. is the plateau but to make this course much the amazon theme we've borrowed cooking my thoughts flavors and we've even some south american. idiot boasting that he and put together they produce the typical colors that makes the brain think it's in the rain forest. and what do the guests think. of the i think it's great we're not a typical restaurant you generally eat. that with any show with the performers and the dancers and the spectacular view what more could you want to keep. the colony area expedition around the world in 6 courses takes about 2 hours. the last stop is europe for desert. then the spaceship lands safely
