It's been a busy few weeks here with the snow still staying fresh, a quick/hectic trip to ISPO and the temperatures dropping to well below -20. After a 2 hour timelapse session at 3000ft my small toe gave up and gave me a nice bit of frostbite. Then skiing these past few days in temperatures down to -28 hasnt really helped it.
A flying trip down to ISPO to check out next years gear ended in a big ISPO style party mess, kicked out of parties, chased by bouncers and the worst drive back in the morning. A few pics below describe it well.
Big thanks to Marcus Ronne for the shots below. http://marcusronne.com/
The weather's still super cold here so the snow is staying nice and fresh so hopefully get into some bigger lines, hope the cold weather is helping you out somewhere, somehow. Cheers, Finn.
Avy barrier pillow fun.
Testing some Whitedot Redeemers.
So Cold!! See ya toe.
Pretty deep snowpack.
Stay true to your name!!
ummmm.
The conditions over here have been unbelievable. So much snow and such good snow too. The town has been cut off due to high avy danger. Roads in and out closed off and rail lines closed down. Which for most tourists trying to get here must be a nightmare but for all of us already here it's been awesome!! I'll let the screenshots below finish the story. Bluebird here now but looks like more snow is on the way. Good times!!! Cheers, Finn.

Walking out the door in the morning to this you know it's going to be a good day.

Pillow fun trying to miss the trees.

The snow is still falling and looks like it's going to be a huge front coming in. Check out the snow report below. The high winds and huge amounts of snow makes it look like they will shut down a lot of the mountain but hopefully we'll still be able to sneak into the trees.
Once i had some free time i managed to put together Decembers footage to show how deep it was. By the looks of it January is going to be another crazy month for snow again.
Hope you're all enjoying the snow wherever you are. Cheers, Finn.

This weeks weather is looking awesome!!!
The snow's stopped for the first time in a while so it's given me a chance to get this done. It's been snowing constantly and has given us some of the best skiing ever. The snow has been so deep it's constant face shots and hard to see or breathe on the way down lines. Everyone is walking around finishing their days with big smiles on faces and theres a general good vibe in town. I've got a heep of footage so will put it together into an edit once the Christmas chaos has finished. For the time here's a small line showing how good the snow really is. Cheers, Happy Christmas. Finn.
Since my last update conditions have changed slightly! The past three days i have skied some of the deepest snow i have ever skied. It has been snowing constantly for the past three days and the mountain has been incredible. It's so good to see everyone in town stoked to be riding deep pow again. I'll work on an edit that ill get up later this week but for the time here's a few shots from the past days. Looks like all of Europe is getting dumped on so hope you're all having a good time somewhere. Cheers, be safe. Finn.

Good times in good snow.
The snow keeps coming.
So the autumnal months should be behind us but over here in St Anton it hasn't quite blended into winter yet. The mountains are very green, there is no snow in sight and the lifts have been pushed back to Dec 8th. Not the worst place to be waiting and still plenty of fun to be had. Spent the day today hiking up hoping to get some speed flying in. Once i got to my launch point the wind was ripping across my platform so had to wait it out. Dont fancy injuring myself before the season has even kicked off.
I've put a BASE jump edit at the bottom of this page too. Went to Milau in France at the end of the summer to shoot the guys jumping and also got my first BASE jump.
Will keep you posted as and when the snow comes and start getting a few edits out as soon as possible. Hope you're all good. Cheers Finn.

So been back in England for the summer and so far so good!! Been busy meeting up and partying with all the crew back here and having an awesome time. Plenty of work trying to save up for the winter that can't be too far away now.
Luckily i live really close to a dropzone so it means skydiving on the doorstep really. Had an awesome weekend jumping and got some nice shots so check em out! Big thanks to Jamie at El Retardos photography for the shots.
Hope everyone's having a wicked summer whatever you're up to!!! Cheers, Finn!!
Not the worst view!!
Remote tees are the only product that really gives you wings.
Goooooood Tiiiiimeeesss!!

Should have tied my laces.
So it's a been a while since my last post and the main reason for that has been the snow or lack of. We havent had a real dump of snow since the start of the year, scatterings here and there but nothing substantial. Still it's no reason to complain, living in the mountains with friends isn't the worst life really. The lack of snow didn't slow down the speed riding though and i'm starting to feel a lot more confident under it now and really want to start flying it down bigger lines.
Really stoked to have Unity Productions come up and shoot for a few days. Unfortunately the snow didn't help out. We had some fresh fall but not enough to send anything big and the stability wasn't helping us either. We ended up hiking up and turning away from 2 lines because of the snow when we got there. It's not always obvious how the snow is until you get on top but you have to know when to walk away from something that doesn't look stable.
Not much snow forecast so will keep you updated with speed riding adventures over the coming weeks. Have been spending a bit of time behind the lens as well filming and shooting so will drop some edits soon as well. Hope you're all good and having a great season, cheers Finn!
