Had quite a busy past month travelling about Italy, Germany, Uk, Switzerland and had a real mix of snow. It got super warm everywhere for a couple of weeks which didnt help the snow at all but then we got some fresh a few days back and everything's starting to look good again ! There's a POV edit below from the last month so enjoy, peace.

Another huge loss as a pioneering ski legend dies.

"Only the things that you truly love will you pursue with that energy, and for me, my family, my friends, and skiing, that's it for me, that's my life. The joy I get from skiing...that's worth dying for." - CR Johnson

So we've been given a dusting of snow this past week. Not a load but enough to go out and have fun for sure. It's been hard to find great snow and been even harder to tell if landings are going to be soft or not. Managed to lose a ski after backslapping on an icy landing so thanks Tobias for finding the ski !! Got a load of filming done and got some great shots as well. Got a pretty hectic couple of weeks coming up flying about Europe for snow and fun so really excited. Gonna be heading to Italy next week so will post some shots from there when i get back. For the moment i've taken some screen shots from my head cam so enjoy . . . . . .

Popping pretty hard to get to my landing which turned out to be solid !!

Floaty pillow landing much better !!

Getting a nice little face shot whilst trying to remember my line.

Choose your landing !!

That's how you backslap !!

Really hard at work behind the camera. 

ISPO

So for no one that's ever been to ISPO, it's crazy !! The place is huge filled with so many stands with exhibitors showing off all their new gear and also so much shit it's unbelievable. It was cool to see the Storm stand getting a load of attention and awesome to see it sandwiched between Armada, Scott and Orage (not the worst spot to be ). We drove down from St Anton in the morning so we had a full day there to check out all of next years stuff and have a few drinks. Some cool gear for next season which i'm sure you'll see on the homepage of this site soon. Personally Volcom stole the show for me, huge skate ramp, stage and band and free bar. The free bar also had some of the most drunk bar tenders i've seen  behind a bar who supplied whatever concoction they decided to make. After smashing the free bar and then the free beer from Horsefeathers we headed into town with the 3CS crew. We were then in the biggest beer drinking hall i've ever seen and stayed there for a few beers, these are served in litre glasses so you don't need to be there too long !! We then headed to a friends hostel that had a bar and started finishing ourselves off there, not free this time but super cheap drinks and a group of guys stripping on the tables: weird !! To finish it all off we managed to sneak into the hostel and stay there for free without anyone noticing. Anyway you get the vague idea of ISPO and if you can make it through the day then the night and parties are awesome !! All pictures blurry as left my camera in the car so had to use GoPro instead !! 

A lot of shit gimmicks !

They won't let you touch the very shittest of stuff !!

Ride snowboards on the left with their very own mini jungle stand !

3CS, awesome outerwear !!

Volcom carnage !!

Free beer ?? Yes !!

Blurry but you get the idea !!

Yep big enough to fit the camera inside !!

Big !!

The last week has been awesome !!! Big days riding, big face shots, big parties, big smiles: Good times !! We've been getting a fair bit of snow in The Arlberg over the last week and have been having a great time playing in it. It's also been getting warmer which has made a lot of areas dangerous and un-skiable at the moment. Sadly there have been 4 people killed in avalanches this last week but for some reason some Ski Schule St Anton instructors still think it's fine to ride off piste with no packs. I think this is really shit as they're meant to be leading and setting an example to people !! Anyways back to good things . . .  Chris Benchetler has been here this week riding and raffled off a pair of his 10/11 pro model ski which my Mum won haha she's obviously stoked as can now ride switch pow all day long !! Here's some shots from the last few days. . more snow on its way as well, sweeeeeeeeeet !! Peace.

So got some new snow, still taking it easy so mainly been behind the lens shooting photos for the past couple of days. Really stoked on the shot i got below of Tobias Nilson hitting a nice little tree drop.

More snow coming this week and having an awesome time being back on the skis and skiing some pow. Headed to Munich next week to catch up with the Storm crew at ISPO and having a look at some new stuff coming next season !! Will keep ya posted.

Into The Trees !!

So first proper day back skiing on some fresh snow that fell the last couple of days. As always the forecasted weather was wrong and we didn't get a huge dump of snow but they're still predicting more to come. I'll believe this when it happens, for now i think the best way is to just look out the window every morning !! Anyway had a really fun day even if not much to play about with, in the loaded area's and gullies there was enough to stay on top but most places still hitting hardpack. Got some real fun tree runs at the end of the day from Stuben heading over to Langen and then catch the train back. You get some funny looks from people being on a train with all your ski gear !! If this snow does come then will put some decent shots up here but for now  . . . . .

Stuben's freezing !! Cheers Chris for the new Faiise gear keeping me warm !!

Arty ?? See no one else is stupid enough to go on the coldest lift.

Skiing out the track at the bottom with my bro and Tobias.

Real good looking skiiers !!

Trains aren't really designed for skis !

Back Into It !!

So after dislocating my shoulder a couple weeks back i've been in full physio mode. Luckily we haven't really been hit with a load of fresh snow in that time which makes being injured a lot easier !! The whole health care system out here is amazing and they don't waste any time getting to work and getting any injuries healed.

Spent a lot of time with these pads on shocking the muscles and encouraging the ripped tissue to heal. Don't know how much it works but your arm twitches and spasms the whole time !!

So been back on the skis for a couple of days now just taking it easy and cruising with no poles. Hopefully the shoulder will be fully strong when (if) we get a big dump and just got my GoPro Hd cam through so will be sorting some edits out soon. Got lots lined up for the next couple of months so hoping everything stays in place and can ski out the rest of the season with no problems, peace.
