key, breck, bralles birfday
we have been here for 1 week now, feels like a lot longer.. but its been a good week!
been at keystone twice, did some hiking to a not-so-good powder-run (looked good from far, but was far from good) and also checked out the park(s).. they were sweet! its like 4 or 5 parks put together next to each other.. wasnt too many small features, but LOTS of BIG stuff... we will see how much time we will spend in there haha..
also been to breck twice, its a fun mtn for sure, got a few parks and some really fun slopes with lots of small hits to play on. bralle and me has been jibbin everything in our way!
and yesterday was bralles birthday, we celebrated that by doin some fun riding in key, had a few beers in the village, made a cake with raspberrys, blueberrys, smartys and marshmallows.. then we went out for dinner to this place Red mtn grill... well what ever u do, dont go there.. our food wasnt even warm and marias food wasnt even eatable, some slimy fish-thing.. naa... wasnt too stoked about that.. but after the "food" we went to our local brewery, the dam-brewery and had some beer.. the cool thing about this place is that u can buy a 2l-"kettle" (?) with beer and bring it home. when ur done with it, u just come back and refill it... ye, isnt that cool!! and its cheap too, we got 5beers and that "kettle" (or whatever u call it) for 18dollars!!! thats like robbing the place, hehe.. we wil definetly come back, especially since we got that "u know what i mean" :)
well, thats what happend here the last few days, eatin good and drinkin good (mostly)! havent found a car yet, we get more and more annoyed by the busses every day, so on wed we might head to denver and have a look there to see if we find smth good.. anything is good for us, maybe a hummer H2, dont really care, just want a car..
well, time for me to get some sleep now, bralle and maria are sleeping since long ago (same story every night hehe) we got a big day comin tomorow with lots of shreddin in breck!!
take care!

silverthorne, CO
WE ARE IN COLORADO!
yes, we finally arrived in the state of fluffy powder runs and endless parks :) well, duno know for real yet, havent been up the mtns yet....
well, after paying lotsa money for heavy luggage (!) on the plane i arrived at Denver airport around 2.30pm on monday, got my luggage strait away (for once), and headed over to the intl arrivals to wait for bralle and maria (who were supose to arive 1h after me..) 2h later they still hadnt arrived and i kept watchin snowb vids on ma laptop (could have been worse hehe)
yay, it was nice to see them again, they came strait out from an insane powder week in Disentis, Austria, so I think there smiles were as big as mine :D
took the bus to Frisco, took 1.5h, arrived round 8.30pm (yea, i spent some time at the airport) took the next bus from frisco to Silverthorne (where we now live), got to silverthorne, out with all our 7 BIG bags + handluggage, and waited for the third and last bus that would take us up the hill to our casa... the only problems now where we didnt know where to collect our key (since the office were closed) and we also didnt know exactly where were gona live, we knew the street but didnt know how to get there.. the busdriver (who was a real a-hole) didnt make it any easier by not telling us where Silverqueen Rd was (even though he knew it) and nor did he allow us to put our bags in the bus (like we cared..ha!) Luckily i met a lot of nice americans in Cali, otherwise i would hate americans more than ever by now!!
well, nough of hating now hehe.. as i said before, we have NOT been up riding yet... why? well, first day we had to do some shopping, paid all rent that was left, got an extra key to the appt, sorted out some more stuff, started looking for a car, we really need a car, or, ye we need one and we want one.. but theres not a lot of cars that matches our economy, so we just have to keep our eyes open..
Today we went to Breckenridge, pretty cool village, kind of a cowboy city-feeling.. lots of bars, restaurants and shops. i bought a t-shirt, and bralle and maria bought pants and boots..
to get home from breck u need to take 3 buses, wich kinda sucks, especially when the last one takes a BIG detour and u end up sitting on the buses for almost 2h.. takes 30min by car... YES, WE NEED A CAR..! hehe
well thats all for now, heres some pics from colorado! take care!

NORTHSTAR AT TAHOE
me, karl and daniel went to northstar at tahoe today... we´ve been talking about going there from the beginging i got here (and ive been thinkin about it since the day i booked my flight here..) and now it was finally time to check out the resort we had seen and heard so much about..
well, we woke up to a blue sky and fresh pow outside our window.. so a better start wasnt to ask for :) the fact that the forecast said snow and clouds in northstar didnt bother us, well, i wanted to go there no matter what (!) hehe..
after spending some time tryin to find a parking spot, we were ready to rip YEAH! we were stoked to shred this place!! :)
well... it was sunday, and this place is pretty popular, on sundays in particular.. soo we spent some time in the liftline wondering why everyone else had to pick the same day as us.. but we had lots of fun riding! did some filming and took some photos and got some funny fotage (video is on the way..)
to sum it up, this place was superfun, weather wasnt allways on our side and we definetly werent alone, but the parks were awesome and nothing could stop us from having a great time! the village actually reminds us a bit of whistler, looks more high class (?!) than the other resorts we've been to hehe
and now im having my last nite in lake tahoe with the boyz, feels kinda wierd to leave, ive had a great time over here and it feels like ive been here for an eternity, its been sunny allmost everyday and we've been riding in hoodies/shirts (in january!!) so Thanks daniel, karl and marcus for letting me stay at ur casa!!
Tomorrow i leave at 5.47am to denver! (flying via phoenix, wich kinda sucks, im sick of flying now hehe) its gona be awesome to finally hook up with maria and bralle and check out the Colorado mtns! which was the main part of this winter trip.. see u soon guys!
well thats all for now folks!

Sierra at Tahoe
went to Sierra at Tahoe the other day.. left the house 7.30 am and head down to the busstop.. 40min later we finally arrived to the place I've heard so much about since I was a kid.. Happily (?!) paid the 64dollars for the day pass, hoping i wouldnt regret it hehe.. the mtn was really small, but the slopes were well groomed so we had some good warmup-runs supercarving all the way down.. :)
we tried one of the smaller parks, but riding went really bad so we went down for a break... the afternonn we went to another park we heard about, newly built.. and DAMN!! that park was sick! FUNNIEST PARK EVER!! it was perfect built for doin lines, wasnt too crowded and with temperatures rising to +17°C life was SWEET!! :D
tried to do some filming and since it was my last and only day at sierra I got to be filmed.. duno if it was good or not, but the filmnerves did their job and i didnt land much haha (video will apear soon..) but it was a fun and unforgetable day!
