Who are we?

Hey guys, how are you doing?

Lukas: Alright, working on this blog, university, quite busy...

Max: Yeah, pretty much the same here.

So, you´ve just started this blog. What is it going to be about?

Max: Skiing (laughs). No seriously. We both love skiing and started to take pictures some years ago. And we thought it´s nicer, if we actually get to share all the stuff we do. This winter we invested in a GoPro and filmed quite a bit. And that turned out to be surprisingly good. So why keep it for us? Also we´re thinking about improving the whole thing in the future, maybe go into a tripadvisor for skiing or something like that. 

Lukas: Exactly! But for now it´s just the blog. So soon we´ll start to upload some of the stuff we have from the past winters and obviously this season. And in the future we´ll post about our trips, plans and everything. All skiing related. Also we´ve both studied outside Germany and we want to keep our friends out there updated too. That´s also why it´s all in English. And as nearly everybody understands English anyways, we think that´s the way to go.

That sounds like lot´s of work?

Lukas: Haha, yes it is. But "luckily" we´re used to it from university.

Where are you guys living? Close to the mountains I guess?

Max: Well, we both study at the University of Konstanz. Originally we come from around Frankfurt, but we moved down here as it´s closer to the mountains. And the Uni is supposed to be good too. *Smile*
Lukas: Yes, Max came down here a year ahead of me, as I still had to finish High school. But when I heard about him skiing all the time, I thought I should study there too (laughs).

So skiing is not your profession. What are you doing when you´re not in the snow?

Lukas: I´m studying Physics. Got my Bachelor degree last year, and now I´m working on my Master´s degree.

Max: And I´m studying Law. I also hope to be done by next year and will be a Master of Law then. Hopefully literally (laughs).
Lukas: So you see, quite different stuff. That´s pretty cool though, as when we´re fed up from Uni and hang around, we don´t talk about Uni much, as we don´t really get what the other one does (laughs). Unfortunately we both have to study a lot though, so we don´t get to ski as much as we´d like to.

Let´s get back to fun then. Any trips planned for the rest of the season?

Max: Yeah for sure, the first week of August we´ll go to Alpe d´Huez and will probably ski one or another day at Les 2 Alpes as well.

So one more explanation. Why do you call yourself "The SkiBros"?

Lukas: We love skiing!
Max: And obviously we are brothers!

Any final words from you guys?

Lukas: Big thanks to everybody supporting us, especially our family and friends, who learned by the time, that we´re a little crazy with this skiing thing.

Max: (laughs) I couldn´t agree more!
