After last nights needed sleep, I figured I could bring out the crosscountry skis again. Good work-out, and well spent time outside! The weather I had choosen for the occasion was far from perfect, but I had to get it over with. 10 km in pretty much storm, and exactly one year since the last [...]

Today was the grand opening of the black park-line here in Hafjell, Norway. Jump nr.2 was just a bit to big for the snowy weather and the bad speed today. They have allready pushed it foreward a couple of meters.  The black line has 3 jumps. First one is a setup jump, decent kick and [...]

This is [...]

Short video from todays shred. Me and Collins (a guy I am staying with here in Breck) went out and tested the Contour-Hd camera. Turns out skiing park in powder is not perfect, but I had so much fun. Think I lapped the park for 4 hours straight. You get the idea;

Wind-gusts and snow was what the skiers had to go through today. Many Norwegians and Swedish skiers had to go through slopestyle qualifiers today. 60 was supposed to be 9. Thomas Dølpads and Alexander Aurdal moved on from the qualifiers. Congrats! Me on the other hand experienced a bit of altitude-sickness. If you don´t know [...]

Practice went allright. Like a 1000 straight airs and a few other tricks that I got done. Wind played a little game with us though, making it hard to judge the speed into the jumps. I can´t lie, my back is sore after deep landings and knuckling jumps. Torstein Horgmo takes you through the slopestyle-course [...]

Beatiful day today! Looking good. Woke up early and the first thing I saw was this. After a few cups of coffee I headed down to the registration, and filled in what felt like a big pile of documents. Booooring paperwork. BUT, I have now got my bib, and I am ready to do practice [...]
