Around Riksgränsen - Video

So here are some of the shots that we filmed on our way from Kiruna to Narvik. I hope you enjoy it. And somebody please give me a better laptop, it´s ridiculously annoying to edit on an eight year old laptop :D

Kaunertal

Me and a couple of friends went to the Kaunertal to enjoy a weekend of park skiing. Lukas wasn´t able to join but I guess the weather couldn´t have been better, the park was in good shape and we had a pretty good time!

Time to shred!




Yvan showing how it´s done



The mandatory tourist-photo
Unfortunately I think that´s it for this season. But a first video from Norway and Sweden should be ready soon!

Cheers, Max

Back home

Being back home for some time now means that Lukas managed to put his hands on the photos. We thought it´s also the right time for a resumé on the trip. So we decided that each of us should give you some thoughts on the trip and pick his Top 5 photos. Here you go:

Max:

The trip of a lifetime! I have only had one day of real ski-touring in my life before we flew there and I really wasn´t sure what to expect. It turned out to be a great experience. Just a real adventure. Sleeping in cars and huts, meeting no other people for days, a stunning and wild nature, great skiing and great company ;) And one thing is clear for me: There was such much stuff that we weren´t able to ski due to a lack of time (haha, 20 days weren´t enough) that we have to get back there!

I had first planned on jumping the cliffs, but the snow turned out to be super unstable. So I just went for the open face. And Lukas got the perfect moment for the picture. It was the first day skiing of our trip, what a start!

Our second day. Boy was it deep...

Our first night at the sea. Something not to forget!

Harstad. I just love the contrast of the white snow and the deep blue sea in this picture.

The view from the top was just incredible. And so was the skiing. Steep and deep!

Lukas:

I have never been on skis so many times in such a short time interval surrounded by that kind of beautiful nature. It was awesome and unforgettable! Mountains, sea, sun, powder... what else do you pray for as a freeskier? :)


Just one of our dozen hikes to the top...

...and it was always worth goimg there!

We had some incredibly nice powder runs.

Skiing with such views...something you don´t find in the alps.
