Coverboy

Found THIS on the internet right now. A friend told me I was on the front page of the largest newspaper online in Norway. I answered him.. yeah, cool. Like I was there for real.. psss, hah!

It turned out to be true actually. Not everyday you get be coverboy.

Extremely frustrating ups and downs

Sjur was superstoked to ski in bluebird and new snow today!

I was superstoked as well, but my day didn't work the

way I wanted to. I missed out on every switch-hit I had

all day, and really couldn't figure out what I did wrong.

My body was tired the first half of the day, and nothing seemed

to work. That's what you get when you ski every day, and no break.

For my defence, this trip was all about skiing every day, just to get

things going for the upcomming season.

On the top of the last gondola it is pretty high above sea-level.

Or, I wasn't quite clear on the whole gondola thing.

Actually the last transport-stretch is a train. 3500 metres

above sea level, which makes it the highest running train in a tunnel,

in the world?

Since our pizza experience yesterday was a big flop, we decided to

give some other restaurant a try. It turned out to be a great idea!

Well known for their making of pizzas, Switzerland came back

strong in the pizza comeback!

My body is beat, last day of skiing tomorrow. Got to give it some rest.

Morning lecture

At 7.15 this morning, someone in my room whos name shall

not be mentioned (Vegard), made me wake up super-early

from his snoring.

I had breakfast all by myself, nobody there of course.

I fired up the skimovie Refresh for the 100th time this week,

and watched mr Harlat aka e'dollo do every possible trick

in the book, with such style and force that it is insane.

I get so fired up by watching it, and I am so ready to ski right now!

Looks sunny, stoked!

Rapid change of weather situation in the alps!

When I woke up this morning, more than half of the gang

down here had their day off. Since I have payed my money

to ski, that's what I had in mind! 20 km/h wasn't going to

stop me from skiing.

Ketz aka "Dj Ketz" and I shredded the foggy

park with small shots of sun every now and then.

It got a little hard to see in the end, but I allmost put

my feet down on a sw 10. I got the hat of my hoodie

over my head, and had to guess where the landing was.

Tomorrow I will have it, I promise!

Decided to hit a pizza-restaurant for once, which turned out

NOT to be a great idea. Henrik and Sjur after 1 hour of waiting!

Kim, Lasse and Joachim aka "birdman" also waited a long

time, even before the waitress showed up by our table.

Afterwords we got told that they where fresh out of pizza buns,

( even at happyhour), we got a half-price deal for pasta instead.

Great idea? No.

Half-hour later we got a big pan of spaghetti and a big pan of meat

all for sharing. It didn't even cover half the plates that were put out,

and only some of us got to eat. It was cold when we got it. And even after

another 30 minutes without food, I walked away telling the waitress that

this was inappropriate, and I asked her if I could pay for my drink. She told me to

just go. And that's what I am telling you NOT to: Don't go there - EVER!

Cloudy

Just had breakfast, and the weather looks cloudy. My neck is stiff,

and I cannot say that I am awake yet. I hope we get over the clouds and see

the sunshine. I had some good news yesterday while surfing the intermenet..

Hafjell (my nearest resort), is opening the 7th of November. 13 days earlier than the

first planned date. And the have got a new park-manager straight from Whistler!!

I hope this is going to be a good pre-season!

Off to ski, I will try to shoot some follows.

Ice-Age

Today was yet another day at the mountain with bluebird and

rock-solid ice-age looking slopes. Allthough it wasn't as hard as yesterday,

which is good I suppose.

I still try to gather my skills from last years season, but it takes some time.

I haven't got any banger shots yet, but I rather practice untill I get it clean before

any video is uploaded!

One thing came across my head today. Every year I have been skiing, food has

been an issue. I love food, and I love taking time to eat it well. But while you ski

it is something you don't have time for. After two hours of skiing, getting warm

and ready for sick tricks, the last thing you want is a 20 minutes lunch-break and

get cold again!

TN.no has the most genious invention! It is basically a small portion-bag of powder

that you mix into water, and it is a full-worthy meal. It takes less than 3 minutes to

drink, and then you ar off to ski again! And the best thing is; You don't feel like crap

after eating/drinking it.

Skiing is a technical sport. All details counts for something, and every detail must be

included to do things perfect. These details are easy to forget when finishing skiing

after a season. I like the sport because of that, and that you can learn new stuff everyday.

But to be honest; It's hard!! I wish tricks could come to me easier. But the feeling of having

the skis on every day, and feel that the season is on is just amazing!

Filmtip of the day: Level1's Refresh... Henrik Harlaut is the best skier in zhe world.. period

Crash-test dummies

Nothing much to say really. Today I felt like a crash-

test dummy. No edges on my skis, bindings had a hard time,

and the same with me. Allmost had a sw 10 rev tail in the end,

but I crashed bad and lost both my skis. I called it a day!

Really cold today though. -15 minus centigrades! If you look

up in the mountain-side you can see the end of an avalanche!

Cool sight!

Frido cannot tell you how stoked he is to be on my

blog. Why shouldn't I let him be? Comming straight

from Zurich and Berlin with sick skiing. Props!

I can't get enough of the scenery in the Swiss mountains.

I brought my skis down in the village to switch

them with a brand new pair. Fresh edges and

new bindings. And also, I like my new outfit

from Salomons 2010 collection of outerwear.

Dinner-time! Allways curious to see what we get to be

served every night. Could be everything from Pie to mushrooms.

Ish..

Elvis needs to be held back sometimes, putting his feet down

on the illest kangarooflip on ice today! Speechless!

Me on the other hand, had an hard time just keeping my

body on the skis, and not crashing.

Tomorrow is going to be interesting, hopefully I get to put MY

feet down on a double 10 or switch 10?

Look out for videos!
