Home at last!

Finally home in Riksgränsen this Wednesday after more than 4500 km of driving since last Sunday. A very nice welcome home with cold snow and bluebird. Thursday my brothers (Andre and Alexander), me and Petter Pettersson was at the top of Vassijåkka to have a nice evening ski tour in the sun.

Andre and me just under the top.

Petter Pettersson in big turns in the evening sun.

Yesterday, Petter Pettersson and me had a superb day cruising around in Riksgränsen skiing a lot funny runs and also hiking Nordal 3 times.

This much fun there is to ski in Riksgränsen!

Røldal Freeride Challenge Final result

Last Fridays result is final result since the avalanche conditions Sunday was very unstable. So the Demon won, I was 2nd, Torgrim Vole 3rd and Erik Lundström became 4th.

Always great party during Røldal Freeride Challenge (RFC) and this year was no exception. And no RFC if you don't go to the anual after party at the barn of Nils Petter Rabbe. In the pic Adam Widen, Christine Hargin and me are having fun, laughing at the big crocodile in the background

Sunday, the day after the party offered bluebird and plenty of new windloaded snow, which gave very unstable conditions. So only crusing in flat terrain.. In the pic the Demon and me posing in front of last year's final face.
After a couple of hours of cruising I started driving towards Riksgränsen with a pair of stops in Trondheim, Åre and Luleå before finally arriving home Wednesday.

RFC update - Sweden rules

Sweden rules after the qualification in Røldal! Erik "the Demon" Sunnerheim is leading, I'm 2nd and Erik Lundström had a really strong comeback and are 4th. Today is a hangover day for most of the riders since todays final is cancelled due to heavy snow. Can be a fun final tomorrow if the weather allows it!

Røldal Freeride Challenge

Finally the Røldal Freeride Challenge could run today. The qualification took place today, one day delayed due to the vulcano in Island when all ambulans helicopters became grounded. The organization had arranged with a backup ambulanse and it was game on. In the photo Wille, me and Erik "the Demon" Sunnerheim checks the others riders. Finally I stood an entire competition run and I'm really happy. Wille lost his way in the convex face and the Demon skied fast as usual.

The face of today is very steep and convex. Add that with hard pack and you had the playground for today.

Me behind the face. We will have the results at 7 pm. The weather forecast for tomorrow doesn't look good with plenty of snow. Which could give really good conditions for a final on sunday in deep powder.
Now it's time for barbeque!

King of the Mountain

Wasn't me today... Chinese downhill in andermatt today. I had big hopes after last week's great skiing to do a good run in the competition today. But I couldn't control the speed and tumble and lost a ski.

Havn't been writing in a while since the skiing been so good here during the easter. Now we are packing the car and are heading north. Next fun thing is freeride comp in Røldal...

Time to do good!
