Nendaz freeride

Yesterday it was finally time for the Nendaz freeride. And it was perfect conditions: nice face, good snow and a big sun. But I just can't stay on my skis for a complete competion run. I took a silly fall after a small cliff at the top which almost ruined my day. But I did the best of the rest of the run and skied it well and finished of with this season first backflip. Even if I crashed it made my day.

Joonas continues to do good and won a big watch as Freestyle award for a big clean 360 of a cliff

Devil's chute

Wednesday we went out to have meeting with the Devil himself. It was time to ski one of the Devil's chute here in Andermatt. Joonas, Björn, Dan and me went out and had a really good 700 vertical meter chute run down to the road.

This afternoon will Joonas and me load the car and go to the Nendaz Freeride. Really excited!

Hjalmar also likes the terrain in Valfrejus.

Now this wonderful trip is over and I'm back in Andermatt. Today is a good day, new snow and decent weather. My turn to babysit, but I can't complain I had a good week and I feel strong for the upcoming Nendaz freeride next weekend!

More Valfrejus

Yesterday was bad weather, which didn't gave that much of snow so we went down to the valley and the city of Modane were we found a fotball and had us one session playing "gris"

Today has been really good. Perfect snow and okay visbility. Tomorrow should be better. But we had us a good skiing day.

Last run of the day... Big chute = big fun!

Valfrejus

Sunday I went to small resort Valfrejus to meet up with Martin Söderqvist. We have had two good weather days (monday and tuesday). The speedflyers loves Valfrejus.

Martin Webrant is supervising the kitchen while Martin Söderqvist is checking the photos of the day.

Our appartment wasn't the biggest one so the first breakfast we had outside the supermarket.

Pics from Flaine

I was in Flaine in Februar entering the Flaine Freeride. I crashed in the comp, but the snow was good... Peter Boman and me had a good time and here are a couple of photos showing that.

I was mad after the crash, but it's hard being angry when we found good snow after the race.

Winter report

We arrived in Andermatt early january after a long drive from Sweden. Entire January offered sweet skiing in Andermatt. My girlfriend Anna and me took turns watching our son Hjalmar. And of course has he been up on Gemstock.

Joonas Karhuuma and me have skied a lot this winter, and also travelled around doing freeride competitions. Flaine Freeride, Engadin Snow and Mystic Freeride so far. Joonas has doing well, 3rd, 7nd and 2nd is his score so far. I havn't done that well yet. 3 races and 3 crashes so far... Bad. But still time to do better.

Except comps I been to Chamonix for a couple of nice days skiing with guests of Langley travel and Alpingaraget.

Most of the winter so far has been spend in Andermatt where I have gathered plenty of material with my helmet cam. Good fun, those things!
