Came back from the Freeride World Tour in Fieberbrunn a few days ago. Since then, I’ve been skiing and skinning some, but have too many photos! So we start with the ones from Fieberbrunn…
The best thing about being there, was that I got to meet Marja. I haven’t seen her in a long time, and that sucks. But it was so good to see her, and see her shred again! She looked solid, even if it was a long time since she skied.
It was also good to meet the Swedes on the tour, and the people from The North Face. Saw some new faces, and had some interesting discussions. Good times! The tour has gone so big now, and… Yeah, it’s a big event! Nice to see.
When I came back, I finally mounted my 193 Blizzard Gunsmoke. I put the new Dynafit Beast on them. Just started trying both of them, but both feels really good so far! Big thanks to Linus Archibald at OKAY shop in Engelberg who helped me with the mounting. Guess I could do it myself, but… Linus might do it better. Ha ha.

- That’s a tent!
-
- Competition face.
-
- Christine Hargin.
-
- I can assure you that Marja never took any drugs, even if it kind of looks like it here. Good to see Jon Örarbäck also! Relative from back home, and now judging some comps on the tour.
-
- Wille Lindberg.
-
- Uh?
-
- I think this is Reine Barkered’s version of Blue Steel. But I kind of made me scared…
-
- Marja with some proper literature! Dry or Die!
-
- I overexposed this one as hell, but it turned out cool I think…
-
- I try to stay away from all meat except what I (or mostly my dad) gets from the forests of Sweden. This reminded me why…
-
- Good times in the TNF tent!
-
- Quick nap before dinner.
-
- We used Marjas car to dinner. This is my car. Good to see that I’m responsible!
-
- Had a good time skiing for a couple of days, with different dealers and media. Here’s my new friend from Blu Tomato, shredding down the hill.
-
- Watched the kids comp. The sent it! Look at the double above the head of that kid. Full on!
-
- They even got some sun.
-
- Good crew! Leo, me, Tiziana, Franz and Marja. Sad to leave them all. But I might get a day or two in Verbier at the comp there.
-
- Went to Linus and OKAY shop the next day. Here are the new soles I needed.
-
- So that I could change.
-
- Tech.
-
- The boot I use most of the days.
-
- Heel.
-
- 16 din. Sweet!
-
- Kick ass skis.
-
- Linus adjusting.
-
- And. Ready to go! Tomorrow I’ll post some photos from trying these.
