On the road again...

The days we are together in the mountains became rare since the everyday work caught us, but still those days are pretty awesome!

Here is some footage of our mountainbiketrip this summer. We started our trip at the lago maggiore (Italy) and finished in Agay (Côte d'Azur, France). I miss these panoramic views...

Enjoy!

Ride around Walensee

While Max moved away from the alps (unfortunately), I still have the time to spent the weekends in the mountains. This time I went mountainbiking with a friend around the Walensee. 1000 alt and 50 km...pretty exhausting but worth it!!!

Norway 2015

Finally managed to put a little video together. Not the craziest skiing, but surely a great landscape and an amazing time!

Norway

Ups, this one is coming with a big delay. And I can´t even say that I´ve been to busy to write anything. But whatever... Lars was so kind to invite Francisco and me to his cabin in Norway. First and foremost a big thank you for that, truly a memorable trip! Skiing, beers, sauna, a cabin and everything else that makes a trip fun. Haha I´ll do my best to get invited again!

What a welcome! Beers, cigars and a beautiful sundawn.

Apparently the Madonna is a tourist attraction. One think of my bucket-list in Norway, I guess :D

Casual after-ski. Beer, guns, and no one around but us.

We had to try... Obviously only with beer cans! 

Lars showing some Telemark-skills

Thight woods. That´s how we like it!

A day isn´t over until you high-fived after the run!

Oh yeah, it gets better than just after-ski beers. Add a BBQ!

Biiiig thanks to Lars and his parents, epic trip!

Chartreuse Powder

So, while Lukas was cruising in Stubai I was (again) hunting powder in the Chartreuse. So nice (but the trees were really dense...)

Sunlaps

Here is the first footage from my (Lukas) new camera shot in Austria at the Sonnenkopf and in the Stubai valley last week. Great sunny days: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7-RuwahxRU

First Day in the Park

So, two weeks ago I finally skied some park in Les7Laux with Lukas. They didn´t have much open, but it was fun anyways.

I went there again this afternoon, and now they have quite a lot of good stuff. So, hopefully more soon :)

Cheers, Max

Sunny days in the austrian alps

After I visited Max in France I drove to Austria to ski in the central alps. On my way to the Stubai valley I stoped in the Vorarlberg and skied with some friends at the Sonnenkopf. We had to search for powder really hard but it was a beautiful day.

Can you find the fog in the valley?

Skiing a nice line with a good friend.

Also found some first lines.

Next day I skied at the Stubai glacier in the "Stubai Zoo". Unfortunately, due to problems with my back, I can not do any rotations at the moment. I also would love to ski in the Stubai with Max because I spotted some nice couloirs;)

Straight but high

Today I went on a skitour with my mum. On the top it was a bit icy and the last meters I had to climb without skis. But the view was worth it.

Climb to the top

It was steep up there

Skiing down here.

At the weekend the weather will be worse. So let's see what's possible.

Perfect Parkday in Les 7 Laux

Yesterday we had a sunny and exciting freeride day, skiing some steep untouched couloirs in les 7 laux. Today we went there again to ski in the park. It was another perfect sunny mountain adventure.

Just another rotation

Straight with style...

...and less style but more fun

It was a great time together in France. Max will stay here for more skiing while Lukas is leaving for the Stubai.

And the video...

Canada? - No, Chartreuse!

Thanks to the bad weather forecast we decided to go skitouring again. This time we went to the Chartreuse. And you can not believe how much snow we found on and below the trees.

Pillows in the trees

It was just another perfect powder day. 

So much snow.

Tree runs, tree runs, tree runs...

DEEP

Tomorrow even the sun might show up. Let's see what's possible in Les 7 Laux.

Reunion

Aaaaaand the first tour around Grenoble is in the books. Lukas came for a visit yesterday and will stay a couple of days. The forecast looked pretty bad so we decided to just try a short tour. And that turned out to be a good decision!

So much snow on the trees

Pow...

... and more Pow

We´ll see what we can do tomorrow ;)

Powder

Finally! I already feared that there exists no such thing as powder in France. But this weekend delivered.

On Saturday I went to Les7Laux with Constant, Paola and Yana and Constant made a sweet edit:

And Sunday Simon joined me and the sun came out. Just awesome!

Tomorrow it might be time for the first tour this year, we´ll see...

Cheers
