Här snöar det för fullt. Har gjort det av och till dem senaste veckorna men ligger ändå ingen snö på backen. Well nu gör det det såklart.
Sen är det där med lekskida. Inget lätt sak alltså. Vad ska prioriteras? Stabilitet när snön är sämre (vill ofta dra på lite även om jag är på mjuka skidor)? Bra längd för att tura som är under 190? Men hur mkt turande kommer det att bli?
Peas!
Men det har vart mycket nederbörd, men det mesta har varit av den blötare sorten :(
Nu är skidsäsongen riktigt nära och det verkar som att det blir premiär för mig på lördag i Åre.
Skönt att känna att man suger som fan första dagen. Men man får iaf åka :) Det är huvudsaken!
Ska testa ut skidor till vintern. Är 90% säker på vad ena paret kommer att bli. Völkl Katana 191. Kännt på dem ofta och mycket i butiken och har nu lagt undan ett par åt mig:)

Kortare skidor för att spinna lättare och kunna leka mer i mindre backar?
Hoppas att alla svar reds ut på lördag.
Återkommer med det asap..

Slow?
Wow! Var verkligen ett tag sedan jag skrev ngt i den här bloggen. Den hann ju knappt komma till liv innan lathunden bet nacken av den. :(
Iaf så har det hänt sjukt mkt sedan jag skrev sen sist....det har tex vart vinter...igen. Har fixat mig studieplats i Trondheim. Har även fixat jobb i samma ort. Mitt jobb kommer vara...ATT SÄLJA SKIDUTRUSTNING! Hur perfekt låter inte det??
Har även köpt mig en fet cross country cykel!

back home...
Well its always nice to come home again.....honestly..i could do with 2 weeks more of skiing but...5w vacation is just 5w and not a day more.
Landed in Oslo around 4 in the afternoon and left the airport around 5...why an hour of wait?? Bagage issues ofc! my skibag got stuck in London. Did they tell me anything at all or did I wait in vain?? What do you think? One thing is certain though... Ill never fly with Brittish Airways again...ever!

Peas!
YYC
Right now I'm sitting in Clagarys airport waiting for my flight to Toronto... boored
aaanyways...
So...5 weeks just flew by eh? Time flys when you have fun they say. Well I've had shitloads of fun! Spec theese last weeks with the big storm and my visit to golden! EPIC!
3 weeks ago we (me, Robert, Tim, Rasmus, Johan, Fanny and Mikael) went for a roadtrip to Vancouver Island to shred some powpow. Loong drive, a quick visit in Vancouver, ferry ride and some kick ass people were involved. We had no place to stay and all the motells were closed. One car behind us, we stop it and what do you know. It just so happened that they had an apartement that they were going to fix a bit (new paint blablabla) and it just so happened that it was empty, furnished but no one there! Good things do happen:)
As I said. We were hoping for epic powpow buut.... didnt really turn out that way at all. Went to Mt Cain, small comunity hill run by enthusiasts, the first day No new snow in a while and all the snow in the resort was pretty rotten. With that said we went slackcountry to get some good snow.
Slackcountry in Cain is waay better than you'd expect and super easy to access too! So after a 5 min traverse and a 30min bootpack we were standing on the top trying to scope lines. 3 obviouse chutes straight from the top and we went for the one most skiers left which turned out to be a really good choice! Good snow all the way down over hardpack meant a super speedy run with loong and few turns! (vids will be up when I get back home to Oslo).
After the hike out of the bowl we had some lunch and a minor snowball war! :P
Sooo....what should we do next? Ski the backside of course! Tim, Mikael and I teamed up with a 70 year old local. There were some sick lines on the backside of Cain but we chose to do a safe one since we had no clue about the snowpack at all (comunity hill, not that much avy control). So a small drop into a small short chute and some nice powpow turns down. Pretty sweet!
We had some well deserved beers after the day and everyone was pleased with the day!
First flight is done and done so now I'm in Toronto and will be here for 5 more hours....a pain!
First things first...)
Wtf??
Geeez...so much fun things have been going on here theese weeks and since I havent been a frequent blogger at all makes this one (and/or following ones) pretty hard to keep short cause there is soo much to tell :)
Lets try to keep it simpe eh?
So after the first day of skiing on Vancouver Island we where we had a desicion to make. Stay around the Mt Cain area and ski cain the day after or go for something else. I was pretty much done and done with Cain due to the lack of snow so my and Roberts vote was on us going to mt Washington. We were pratty much alone on that. So the next day, Robert and I went to Mt Washington and the others went to Toffino for some surfing (or expensive bathing for most of them :P ). Mt Washington showed us a rather variable version of the famous pow capital. BOILER PLATE! Ice and moguls! Seen that one before...siiigh.
We shredded from around 9 till noon. Stopped for some lunch and then..back on it again. First run after lunch...disaster struck! Robert caught his tips in a small hole and went down pretty hard twisting his hip. No more skiing for us that day. Sooo..what now? Hit the bar? Good idea! We were full of good ideas! :P Burgers, beer and geartalk for hours and hours waiting for the others to come back....which they did... allthough waaay later then we thought they would. Not that wierd though...cause we didnt really say a time or aything so they had pretty much their hands free. Ohh well..shit happens. But times are never wasted when your always wasted ;)
Day three....vancouver.
What can I say. Amasing city. Huge and neat in every way. Visited the Peak Performnace store for fun. They had just started their sale on the winter collection (something we did a month earlier).
Some shopping done to, camera lens Tamron 17-50 2.8...siick lense! Soo sharp! Not that superfast and a bit noisy...but what the hell.
An olympic games 2010 Vancouver cap in purple ( no surprise in the color choice there :P ) A crooks and castles T-shirt (dope as hell!) and some stuff for Katja ( my gf for you who didnt know) that will be revealed in time.
Time to go home then...
Skiing revy again. Conditions were....not that good and the backcountry was still very unstable. Some shorter tours and a minor slide (no one got hurt) and some pretty fun snow (deep but firm).
Snow report was signs of hope again....friday, shitloads of snow heading our way. Thursday...mountain shut down due to high winds. Snowing pretty hard...good things await the chosen ones....aka us poor suckers stuck in kanada...warmest country in the world.
friday......FRIIIfreakinDAY! Pretty huge lineup to the gondy. No surprise there, spring break and all. Got up pretty fast though. Got soo many laps that day. So many fun cliffs (no big stuff though :( ) 5-6m at the highest. Mostly just me and Tim racing around for the hunt of gnar! Superfun. The only real downer was that my friend josefine tore her ACL and had to go home for surgery....vibes.
aanywho Found 2 norweigean girls, June and Caroline, on the way down in the gondy (yeah..no snow down low so download is mandatory....sucks) asked them if they have had a good day or not. Anyway...turns out that they were going to golden to spend the rest of their season there....and they had a car! :) So I tagged along with them to golden.
Shredded the whole saturday with some, more or less, local kids (friends from earlier seasons) and got all the gods (except the coffee chutes). Tired but happy I went down to Golden for the "main event"...the keg party! Everyone was there that I know. Lots of beer (3*58.4L), lots of good people and just plain fun times! Went to sleep around 5...got up to the hill with Brady. Still drunk and with fogged up goggles we skied the Jengas on Whitewall (one of the best spots on the whole mountain if you ask me). Stompstompstomp I say!
This just in. My flight is delayed. 22.35 is the new departure time....30min longer wait...not stoked.
Last week was a fun one, and it started with Brian, June, Caroline and I went slackcontry skiing in Ozone. Good snow but snowstability was poor on some aspects so we played it safe. Had a good run for sure. Day ended with some beer, fajitas and bonfire in a burned down mill on the other side of the railway.
All in all it was an epic trip! Good snow good people..havin' a tahjm!
Came home on tuesday, thx to Luke, no skiing just chillin and a short stroll to town with Robert and a party at our place. Josefin was going home so she had invited all the good people of Revelstoke. I was super tired and didnt want to sacrifice more days of skiing so I headed to bed pretty early (12). Wednesday was just playing around. Went to "lekstugan" just under Greely (spelling on that?) hucked some small stuff and took some pics.
What happened on thursday? Honestly...I really dont know.. :P i guess it was just a random day amongst other random days. Hehe..just kiddin! Skied the whole day with different people. Good snow in greely and just good ol' fun :)
Fridays skiing was schweet! Skied all the zones I like. Greely, three bears, sweetspot etc....
Had a loong lunch in the sun (no hurry cause we were pretty much alone on the hill) and ended the day with just jibbin around and hitting groomers.
And then.... gayhound...I mean greyhound to clagary airport....

21-2-2010
Whaat a day!
Slow start...got up at noon and skied 1 (!) run. A pretty good run in the greely glades (not inbouds though). Got a bit carried away and skied way too far down. Ended up with 2 options. Either sit on my sorry ass and wait for someone to come with a cup of hot chocolate and a heli......or bootpack the whole thing. I chose number 2...had to be realistic :(
So started the bootpack up....2 hours later I was on the top of the ripper chair.....soaked in sweat but not that tired :)
Skied down...and was greated with food back in the house. Veery nice!
Rounded off the day with beer and hockey. Sweden crushed the fins 3-NOTHING!!! :) It´s good to be me! :)

heey there!
Howzit goin eh?
havent had much time lately to do anything witht this blog of mine. but now i have :)
So im finally in revelstoke after a bruutal 38 hours of traveling! Wasnt too bad bud... if i just slioce away 20h on that time..I defenetly would! Didnt have any problems during my trip and it went by pretty smothly.
The only hick-up was the 6h wait in calgary (sleeping on the couches on the airport...) and then having to wait 3more hours at the greyhoundstation due to delays...SUX!
Anyways...Im here now and have had soo much fun! Been skiing a lot...and I can feel that in my body..specially in my back and in my quads.... have had some serious legburn!
Ysterday I skied with Tim Ekfeldt. An old skiingbud of mine. It was almost 4 years since we rode together last time so it was super fun to ski with him again. He has progressed so much during these years (he was a snowboarder first time I met him) and we had a blast! Super fun day with pretty good weather and pretty good snow. Soft snow on som pretty cut up/mogul-ish base. Dropped some cliffs, went for a small hike..and I cut up my knee on a rock. Didnt do it while crashing or anything.....just during hike my foot slipped and a supersharp rock just cut a hole in my pants, base and skin on my knee. Wasnt serious at all, just a little blodd and the fact that my new expensive Peak Performance pants are now one hole richer......bummer
But the hike was a success! Got a supernice powrun with some small jibs along the way down. I was literally screaming aaaaalll the way down! It was soo good! Not the lightest pow ever or the best terrain...just that unbeatablem feeling of pure joy! Null stress joggedress ;)
Tomorrow is a new day and Im off to bed now. Leaving you with some pics.
Peas!
waahooo :)
Soo..got myself a new laptop! And I freakkin luv it to death!
So now Ill be able to update this blog more often...and edit vids and pics :) Soooo watch out..its gonna be a lot of sweet stuff poppin up on this blog real soon!
