Crooks Collective
Don’t really know what Crooks Collective is, but I know that some of my friends that I really like are crooks, in that collective. Here’s an edit they just posted. Take a look. Now. It’s good.

Skiing
Haven’t been that much of it lately, so it feels good to be back on snow again! Been sliding with Oskar (he left his photo pack at home, and I’m happy for him for that), Linus Archibald (Why can’t I also have a cool name like that?!), Johan, Oskar H and Simpa. Good times with good locals! Here are some pics:
-
- Same pic again. From AK. I had to post it one more time…
-
- On the flight from Seattle to San Fran. Golden Gate. I heard it’s the most photographed object in the world.
-
- SF.
-
- SF.
-
- Another bridge.
-
- In Swedish it’s called “meandringar”. It’s good for fishing! Don’t think there were any fish here though…
-
- SF.
-
- Weird.
-
- Fields of… something.
-
- SF.
-
- “Hello. I’m gonna build a big ass house in the middle of this swamp.”
-
- And then I was in Engelberg. Oskar and Simpa half way down Galtiberg.
-
- Näcken?
-
- There’s a lot of asians in Engelberg. They don’t come there to ski though. What this lady was doing I don’t know. Looked cold…
-
- Simpa, looking forward to 1000 vertical meters of POW, and then 1000 vertical of slush.
-
- Oskar. Mini shred.
-
- Happy?
-
- Here’s the bottom of Galti. A little less snow…
-
- Next day. Laub. This is what we not skied, cause Steinberg was better. Sweet!
-
- Some dudes enjoying the spring- and less crowded Engelberg.
-
- What’s the matter with these people?!?!
-
- Wall.
-
- That’s a core shot, Linus!
-
- Half of Galtiberg.
-
- You have to hike a couple of hundred meters, traversing the golf course, to the taxi pick up. Feels weird.
-
- Dudes.
-
- In Swedish this is “Tussilago”, and that means that it’s spring!
-
- “Iäm just gonna vacuum my horse a bit. No biggie.”
-
- Yesterday evening Barcelona played Real Madrid. Oskar is a huge Barca-fan, so this was a big thing to him.
-
- Nina came for dinner, with Johan and Ljunkan.
-
- This is fun. Oskar was so excited that he sat in this pose, EXACTLY, for 27 minutes. Unfortunately, that didn’t help, and Barcelona lost.
-
- Today. Sitting and waiting for someone to join me on the mountain. It suddenly started pjuking! It never ends this year.

Engelberg
Been in Engelberg a couple of days now. Today I didn’t get any of the spoiled bastards here to ski with me, but yesterday I did a couple of Galtibergs with Simpa and Oskar. It was really good the first half, and ski murdering the second half. Took a while to fix my skis today… Today I also got my Helldorado back (Swiss lost them). Gonna be sweet to ski with them again tomorrow!
In the middle of Galtiberg. I like to be surrounded by big walls…
My skis didn’t like the last part of the run though…

Oh well…
When you go to a destination, you always have a time window. There’s always a date when you have to go home. Sometimes you kill it within that timeframe, and sometimes you don’t. That’s the name of the game… We got some good stuff in Haines, but not as much as we wanted. Just a little bit of bad luck with mini-injuries in the group, and too much sun, is enough to make difference between success and mediocre.
Enough of the whining! I’m back in Euroland now. Sitting in Zurich Airport and waiting for my skis, that didn’t make the same flight as me… Engelberg didn’t have the same problem as AK, since it seems like it have been snowing a lot there! So, stoked to ski tomorrow after sitting on my ass for ten days!
Something else to check out is the new TimeLine episode from Xavier and the muppets. Take a look at that HERE and some iPhone shots:
-
- “Skojjin”. I like the woods. In AK too.
-
- An eagle. There’slots of them in Haines.
-
- Clouds, but no snow…
-
- Hello?
-
- @33 mile. Pancho?
-
- 33 mile has the best pies I’ve ever tasted I think. Have to be a break in the pie eating for me know, otherwise I’m gonna roll down the mountain…
-
- Water. Again. Hello Ben.
-
- What comes out of this one is pretty fckn awesome!
-
- Pôjkon – kind of like Stjordal huh?
-
- Or maybe not… Look at the weight.
-
- Bjenn.
-
- When we went home on the ferry, I didn’t find anywhere to sleep, and it was a nice sunset on deck, and not that cold. So I did some Zopiklon self medication and went to sleep. Woke up about three hours later, and it was very dark, and very, very cold. Nice sunset though!
-
- In Sweden, contraband has to do with music. Anyway, I’m not into any on the contraband things, so I was fine.
-
- Klas?
-
- Calippo?
-
- Juneau. Awesome.
-
- Sweet shoes.
-
- There’s always too much of this look in my life… Hard to get to the places I need though, without flying.
-
- Oskar let me rest my tired feet on him. Hero.
-
- San Francisco.
-
- Xavier?! What are you doing on the airplane?!
-
- And right now, I’m waiting for our skis. They missed the last flight. Pjuh…

Goat shoot
No snow to shoot, so we’re just doing the normal goat-thing instead.
Look how stoked Stephan is. Ha ha ha.

Slingshooting and crab grilling
Just some more photos from when we visited the Field guys a couple of days ago. Filip, Espen, Tom, Asmund and Asbjorn gave us a warm welcome. Now that I made a couple of blogs about them, they might hate me though, since blogging is too untrue for these bad asses… We’ll just see I guess!
-
- I don’t like to have to deal with mosquitoes when I’m on a ski trip. The AK ones are like everything else here – big.
-
- Same room, same beds, different positions. I think Stephan and Oskar are a bit better than me on this cabin thing…
-
- Tom Leitner is here with Field productions. He’s a genuine nice guy, and kick ass skier.
-
- Aiming.
-
- Missing.
-
- Looks good, but I fckn sucked at this!
-
- Filip trying to find the answer at the bottom of the cup.
-
- We were thinking about a dip in the hot tub. It wasn’t really ready though…
-
- Asmund Thorsen, a.k.a. “Fingerkroksmästaren från Ål”.
-
- I got really happy when I saw Asbjorn working with the classic “tower” method! It’s the best, and I felt like going on a fishing trip. Ha ha.
-
- This dude was the only one taking a swim…
-
- Fresh halibut and crab on the grill. Not a bad dinner…

Waiting game…
Sitting in the same room, waiting for the same snow, with same Oskar, Stephan and Ben. Don’t know if it’s gonna happen… It was raining today though, so hopefully it started getting better again. We’re hoping for that. Here are som iPhone shots of what we’ve been up to lately:
A lot of stuff to look at in Alaska. Like this boat.
This setup have kind of become “my” setup. I like the mug best.
This cat always tries to get in if there’s an open window or door. Here she’s (he’s?) super bummed after being thrown out. It tried to eat stuff…
AK.
I’ve been running (jogging) a bit the last days. Good for keeping the cabin fever away. Here I got to a dead end, so I chilled for a bit.
I asked if I could buy this gentlemen’s jacket. I could not. Bummer.
Trying to keep the heli-belly away. But this is the only meal where I was successful in terms of healthieness I’m afraid of…
“View.”
Hung out a bit with Field Productions yesterday. Started of with some manly action. Here’s the master boss Filip Christensen going for the kill. Everybody nailed it, except me.
Espen, Tom and some fresh crab. Sweet!
The Field guys had awesome landlords, who invited us to their home. They also had an awesome dog. Fun little… thing.
Great minds think alike.
I hang out too much with my iPhone, and sometimes I wish a monster would come and eat it, so that I could focus more on real things.
Let-me-think-one-second – NO.
We missed it. Darn.
If the Hercules plate is taken, I normally go for the bear.
Sweet!
Too much good heli-belly-building stuff here…
So I’m trying to move my ass a bit every day. The jog starts here.
Went for a massage today. I enjoyed looking into that note in the ceiling. We need some pep-talk here. I also enjoyed getting properly beat up in the too many stiff parts of my body.
And I got to lie down on probably to coolest blanket ever. Wolf, bear AND fish. Sweet lord…
I like how some dirty water can deliver such a clear reflection…
Swedish pancakes for dinner today. Liked it.
Now it’s passed bedtime. Goodnight.

The God
Saw this BOSS in the bar yesterday. Of course, I asked him if I could by the jacket. I couldn’t.
And yes – he was a hunting guide, and fisherman.
