Colorado Second Week

We are here in Frisco-CO since a week. The weather was super nice and we had some really nice days in keystone. The park has some really nice varied futures. Mostly we ride this line: three kickers in a row, two-three rails or boxes, two little kickers and an other down-flat rail. It makes so much fun riding this park. In one run you can easy hit eight obstacles.

In the upcoming days is the big kicker line going to be open. I am really exited to see how big they are going to be this year. I hope they can open it soon. Because they don’t have a lot of snow here, but they are lucky and can make snow the hole day and night. A snowmaker told me on the chairlift, it is no problem to make snow if it is enough cold. we have enough water in the lake, which we are allowed to use.

Today I made a little break and worked on some school stuff. In the afternoon we made a short trip to the lake and made some pictures. It was a super nice location but it was freaking cold so we had to leave soon and get back in our warm house.

Colorado

ZRH-FRA-DEN here I am! After a long travelling day and with an 10 hours flight without a private screen, we made it to Frisco with a huge jet leg! Its definitely not super cool to be crazy tired in the evening and waking up at 4.30 in the night, but that’s how it is!

I will be here for 3 weeks with the Swiss national team. We rented a very nice apartment in Frisco.

The last two days I was shredding in Keystone. Up there is a very nice park. They have a kicker line with three jumps and tons of different rails and jib obstacles! It is the perfect park to get the feeling back!

It is also amazing to see all the riders again from all over the world! Yesterday I met Margot on the hill. I was super surprised! Now I am stoked to ride with her!

Tomorrow we will go up again and on Thursdaywe make a brake, because of the bed weather, which should come in! I am all ready looking forward to go to Denver for some nice shopping, urbanoutfitters.com I can’t wait!

Please…

…let it snow! Right now there are weekly realizes from really good snowboard movies. I have been to some premiers and it was crazy to see how the snowboard level increases! The process never stops! Higher, wider, longer, crazier, more stylish, more technical and so on….

It is nice to see the technical improvement! BUT some times I just want to watch nice stylish powder riding! I love to share this movie…

5 More Minutes Premiere in Innsbruck

This Friday was the official word premiere from our film, called 5 more minutes please! The premiere was at the weekender club. I never have been there before, but i really liked it! It is not super big but the dance floor is big enough :) !

It was super cool to meet all the riders. Some of them i never met before!

At 12 p.m the film started and the club was full! I couldn’t imagine! It was super cool! The film is incredible! You have to see it! It shows our pleasure, which we have during snowboarding!

Ueli Christoffel

I would like to introduce one of my best friends. His name is Ueli Christoffel and he lives in Zurich, Switzerland.


I met him a long time ago in Flims on the mountain. We had a coffee in the No Name restaurant on the Crap Sogn Gion. After he introduced himself, he asked me to come shredding with him! Sure I went.

After this day we are good friends and as often as we can we go out into the backcountry and take pictures!

First Snow in Town 09.10.2011(more pictures are coming)

I got a message on the 8.th October from a friend of mine. While I was sitting in the train to go back home from Zurich, she texted me: Hi, where are you? Come up to Flims! We meet us tomorrow at 9 am to shape the first corner in town. We got enough snow to shape something. I ‘d like to make some pictures…

Super stoked to hear this pleasant news. I got up at 8 am on Sunday to be ready for some shaping and hopefully some snowboarding.

                                                 

We were a bunch of motivated snowboarders. That’s why I love to life in Flims, if it snows everybody is super motivated to go out and shape something. In the end we where a group of more then 10 people! The snow was pretty sticky in the beginning, but after some tracks we got enough speed to get some airtimes. In the end we decided to do an evening/night session. A good friend of mine, Philipp Ruggli joined us with his camera. In the end we had a great session and some nice picks. Winter has started!

It is totally worth to get up early on Sunday!

FREESTYLE.CH IN ZURICH

Last weekend was the freestyle.ch event in Zurich. It is one of the biggest European freestyle events. There are four different disciplines, big air for freeskiers and snowboarders, fmx on the dirt jump and on the mini mega ramp the bmx and skateboarders. It was the first mini mega ramp competition hold in Europe. It was an amazing ramp. I hope I will see the mega ramp once it should be colossal big!

 

The girls aren’t allowed to compete. So I was there as a guest and groupie J! On the areal are many different things to do and visit. Some brands shows there new products and on other stands you can win some gear/drinks and other stuff. It is definitely an event to meet and great. For me it is always a nice event. I like it to watch my friends competing; it is nice to be once not the competitor. So I can relax and drink a beer while the others are competing! But on the other side I wish every year that I get an invitational for the next event. We will see and hope!

First Time In Europe

 

definitely one of the hardest jobs at freestyle.ch

 

Joiz TV

This week was crazy! First of all I started my new school on Monday. It is nice to be back on school, meeting new people and doing something for your brain! On the other side it is super hard to find the right class rooms at the first week.  After one and a have day in school I all ready had to skive off! I got an invitational from the Joiz TV. On Tuesday i travelled from Chur to Zurich to visit the Joiz studio in Oerlikon. I was in a live show with a good friend of mine, Elias Ambühl and an other young skier called Kai Mahler both are Swiss as well! We were invited to discuss about the biggest european freestyle event FREESTYLE.CH in Zurich! Elias and Kai are competing this weekend at the event! Sadly there are now girls in the program! I would love to be a part of it once, hopefully next year! For this year I’m only a guest, the good side of being not a competitor is, that I can party as long as I want and every day!
