Of course, my horse.

Hey guys. Sorry for the big lack of posts! (again). We have been busy travelling, building jumps, riding pow, riding park, getting shots, sledding and making a teaser. The teaser will release pretty soon, we just need to finish up the edit and come up with a name for the movie. Not easy! If anyone has any brilliant ideas, feel free to drop them in the comment section. We have spent most of our time in the backcountry. Building a jump the day before and waking up way to early the day after.

It looks something like this when we get up to a zone too early. Then we just sit around and wait for good weather.p1030942.jpgThen, when it clears up, we make the final touches and get our shred on.

In the backcountry

Sorry for the lack of posts. We (Me, Jakob, Hampus and Knut) have been busy tearing up the snow and getting stuck.

 

Knut, deep trouble.

Looking at new zones.

Some of us got new snowmobiles which is really fun. Polaris 4 life. It has been a mission to get them though. Took me around 2 weeks. Not that fun.

Dusted of a really fun jump the other day. Hampus and Jakob landed so many tricks on it. It was an awesome day and in the end we sledded home with at least 6 shots in the camera bag. 8280 degrees was the total rotation count on landed tricks that day, in between 2 people.

 

Hampus, Jakob, Sending it.

Snow snow and more snow.

It has been snowing sooo much in Utah. We went riding at Brighton and it was crazy. When we hit cliffs we almost drowned in the snow since we forgot our snorkel at home. This resort is so amazing on good days.

 The day after we got some sunshine so we went up to the gulch again to hit 2 jumps. We all got some really good shots in the bag and it was really nice to see the sun.

After the bluebird day it started snowing again. Took the sleds up to a area with a lot of sweet pillows. We played around for an afternoon in the deep snow, got stuck with sleds, eat swedish candy and jibbed around in the parking lot. 

Hampus, Knut and Stian checking out the pillows.

Grizzly Gulch

It has been dumping the last week in the Salt Lake City area. So much snow. We took a short trip to Las Vegas for the S.I.A. trade show during the bad weather days which was really fun and productive.

Met up with a lot of friends and planned the season a little. We where gone for 36 hours and went straight up to the Grizzly Gulch when we got home.

After a relatively short hike we got up to the jump spot. Knut Eliassen was getting really sick at this time. Poor guy, can believe he made it up there and that he hiked the jump 15 times. I thought he was going to die. CLICK FOR VIDEO

We built a fun step down jump and had a fun session.
