Early wake-up call yesterday. 0415 am to go to the airport. Since I made up my mind to go to USA on Tuesday I had to take a few chances. One thing was that Kim, Lasse and Lars arrive two days later than me. That is something I have to live with, skiing is good [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/40/86/68/408668.jpeg[/IMG]
Yesterday was a good day. I spent the day pretty much hanging out at home, helping out my dad and grandpa moving snow out of the driveway. In the afternoon, me and Marius made this jump just outside the house, and did flips to flat. When we were tired of not getting enough speed, and [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/40/78/65/407865.jpeg[/IMG]
It is retarded how much snow that we have got got the last few few days. The sickest part is that is far from over. I’m allready tired of using this, and it’s motorized, not even muscle power. The positive aspects of snow is skiing, obviously, and I will do a lot [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/40/74/32/407432.jpeg[/IMG]
Everyone that has been a newbie once, know all these sayings and quotes. We have all claimed, shouted, asked and excused. It’s time to have a good laugh off this compilation of newbeginner quotes: [IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/40/74/17/407417.png[/IMG]
Due to the weather yesterday we did not see, nor did we get to ski much, but we did get to do a few frontflips. I did try to huck another after the first flip as you can see. I think we all can conclude with not enough speed or jump.[IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/40/73/97/407397.png[/IMG]
What a crazy day! I have never seen so much snow fall in just two days at Storlien. Today I went up with Marius B and Sindre, two friends that I happen to work with allmost every day. The only pair of skis that I brought today was the Rocker 2, wide-ass powder rocker skis. [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/40/69/89/406989.jpeg[/IMG]
By the way… Backflip never gets old. You should do atleast once a day to keep the Doctor away… says I. [IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/40/61/96/406196.jpeg[/IMG]
Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance. So it is written in the book I read on flying in theory, but it also works for todays activities. Me and Marius drove up to Storlien at 9, and were there just about 10 this morning. Wind-gusts and heavy snow didn’t stop us from skiing pow and cruising. I [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/40/61/81/406181.jpeg[/IMG]
I didn’t plan to go to work yesterday, but I got a last minute call. I thought we were talking about a couple of hours, but I came home 0030. Right now I am leaving for what might seem like the worst plan ever: - Drive to Storlien (1 hour +++) - Ski for 3 [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/40/60/10/406010.png[/IMG]
The plan is to drive to Lillehammer on Thursday, ski Hafjell on Friday and attend a slopestyle-competition in Geilo on Saturday. This was the plan all along, until just now. We will see where I end up, but I think the second choice is the best one right now. (The one that just came up). [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/40/51/12/405112.png[/IMG]
Incredible day in Storlien today. Lot’s of friends skiing powder and jumping off windlips. No stress – tons of fun! Slalom baby, Slalom! I’m blue dabadeedabadaaay. Marius after a crash? Or? I guess my rocker-skis came in handy this week! FUN! Friends with smiles – What it’s all about. Money-$hot! Backflips, frontflips, crashes and [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/40/48/03/404803.jpeg[/IMG]
It took us a while to drive the 50 km from Storlien to Åre due to the weather and -roadconditions, but it was a really fun day when we finally got on skis. The Danish and Russian newbeginners didn’t stand a chance compared to my terrible back-country skiing skills. Blurry phone-camera. I [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/40/44/73/404473.jpeg[/IMG]
Going to Åre with a few friends today. Woke up to this intense snowy weather. It has really bern dumping the last few days. Should be interesting to ski pow with real rocker pow-skis. Stoked is just one of the words I want to use right now. See you laterzzzzz.[IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/40/44/31/404431.jpeg[/IMG]
No Park? No problem![IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/40/35/89/403589.png[/IMG]
Video of Wallisch cruising a few days at DewTour and Park City. Only thing is, it’s just as good as an full video-part in any movie, so sick!! INSANE! [IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/40/35/81/403581.png[/IMG]
Or so it feels like. After spending two days just shredding the slopes and side-booters in Storlien, I feel like a 16-year old kid again. Just getting the whole skiing back, and getting the control back on skis. The fact that today was truly amizing weather-wise didn’t hurt either. Coffee to kickstart the day! 8 [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/40/35/64/403564.jpeg[/IMG]
Good morning! It’s a beautiful day in Storlien, Sweden. After the most epic and heavy breakfast in a good while, it’s time to get some coffee and go ski some turns. I’m working on my cab turns in order to learn cab-spins on jumps. It’s booring, yet fun at the same time. Looks like [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/40/31/77/403177.jpeg[/IMG]
Yesterday was kind of a laidback day, but I did however get some things done. Me and daddy cool had to take down the tramp for the winter, due to the weight of the snow. Also, since we had got some new snow overnight, I re-shaped the railyard-kicker. True American style, the only [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/40/31/63/403163.jpeg[/IMG]
Slightly early to claim the new year, but I figured better safe than sorry. It’s been a crazy year, and I cannot wait to see what the next one has to offer. I spent my last day in 2011 with a little shopping and skiing the banana-rail at home. Superfun, and probably the best day [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/40/22/09/402209.jpeg[/IMG]
Just came home after a LONG day in Sweden, again. Two days, two different ski-resorts in Sweden. 400 km in car really takes the toll on you. Especially when you ski hard for 4 hours in between. To tired to post some pictures right now, but they will be out later tonight or tomorrow. Peaceee[IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/40/19/69/401969.png[/IMG]
