Best board ever
I wonder if my friends at Nordica are gonna do a ski model similar to this board. I hope…

Epic day in Riksgränsen
Filming for JOB continues, and yesterday was really good. Me, Adam and Per did our best in front of the lens, and Nicke from Winter Project and Daniel Rönnbäck were shooting sharp. I say nothing more. Look at the photos and read the captions instead.
- Good morning Insteget!
- This is where one of the final runs in the Scandinavian Big Mountain Championships. It’s normally tracked as hell, and icy or slushy. Yesterday it was pow.
- Per jumped “Äventyrsklippan”.
- And got some nice turns on the way down.
- I messed up my line, but had a nice little drop on “Ögat” (The Eye).
- Random dude shredding “Nordalsbranten”.
- And jumping.
- Per getting psyked up to jump “Klumpen”.
- Hello.
- I like this angle, cause you can see Per’s beloved caravan in the background (if you know where it is).
- We continued skiing all day, and at this point we were pretty tired. Adam still going strong though!
- Local hero Jon Nilsson followed us (after we dragged him out of the after ski after 4 beers and a shot). We were all happy for that!
- A little bit of wind at the top…
- Where’s Adam?
- There he is.
- And there he’s (almost) gone. Good pow!
- A RED cam, Nicke Jacobsson and Daniel Rönnbäck. I think they were pretty stoked on the light…
- Jon claimed he was so tired he had problems standing up. He was fit enough for shredding down this powder field though!
- Adam in the last, red light.
- I did a mellow line, but had some happy turns on the way down!
- Reindeers. I hate them when I driving, but like to see them on the mountain!
- We even got some moon action on the way home.
- 14 hour ski day. No biggie. Puss!

April powder edit from Engelberg
The last days I had in Engelberg was really epic. Fast pow on top, sunny and warm in the valley. I was shredding with Oskar, Yves Husler (coolest name in snowboarding), Mattias Hargin, Bolling and the rest of the good guys down there. Here’s a video of some of the happy-shred that went down. Enjoy it, and spread it:

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…

Bruce Bauer…
…is a good man. Check out his/Funny Farm’s page here. Next year it’s gonna be a new, big house to live in up at 27 miles.
- Fishing hands.
- Pirate.

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…

The Path of Love
A couple of days ago I went on a hike with Stephan. It was so romantic, I almost turned gay for one afternoon. Ah, not really, but it was a beautiful trail, and someone had marked it it a nice way. It kind of made me happy. More happy than gay actually. Watch the gallery and you see what I mean.
We’re still waiting for snow here. Ben’s in his room. Me, Oskar and Stephan are in our room. Start snowing now goddammit!!!
- Been a lot of this the last days. I kind of evolved though, and are doing my computer “work” sitting on a chair. Stephan and Oskar are big fans on the bed thing though…
- Hello Stephan.
- And here’s the romance. Someone marked the trail with small rocks. Kind of nice.
- So I decided to shoot them all. And I guess I don’t need more captions for that…
- And then, finally, after struggling through the rough terrain and… Ah, never mind, we reached the water after a while. Stephan was stoked.
- I was too. The view was, as often here, stunning.
- To get that gay feeling away, we did threw rocks for an our (sore shoulder now).
- Water.
- Stone.
- Patterns.
- Went to see Bruce at the Funny Farm again. It’s so good to see him with a lot of energy just glowing around him. He’s been through some rough shit, but seems like stronger than ever! Here’s one of his cars, with a true pirate rig.
- And the pirate himself! Always with a smile.
- The Funny Farm dog – Gannian (don’t have a clue if it’s spelled that way). He gave me the evil eye cause I didn’t want to throw this stick again. And again.
- Found this one from the journey here. Seattle airport was lonely. Or was it Frankfurt. It was boring, I know that…
- This is Seattle though! Hello sailor. Ha ha.

Alaska photo blog
Having the second down day here in Haines. Carston Oliver went home a couple of days ago, and we’re waiting for Bryce Phillips to replace him. And we need a reset. There’s some good snow left, but it’s getting really hard to find it… The rest of the crew still in Haines – Oskar Enander, Stephan Drake and Ben Sturgulewski from Sweetgrass Productions – are not as tough today as yesterday (Ben’s looking good though), and I’m the only one without a hanover. Feels pretty good… I might as well stop write, and have you looking at the pictures instead. If you’re reading my blog at Freeride.se, you have to click the photos to read the captions.
- Our guide, Lukas. We’re extremely stoked to have him. Calm, awesome mountain awareness, AND sick shredder. So sick it’s kind of embarrassing for the rest of the crew…
- Goat Towers from the heli. Some gnar in there for sure.
- Stephan between two turns, on the way home on day one.
- We passed by Bruce Bauer at the Funny Farm, where we stayed last year. His house burned down, which is really sad. But it seems like he’s back on track now, and are stoked on the new house he’s building!
- Penthouse.
- Happy, but serious.
- Triple shot. We did that last year. If you look close you can se a heli with Gigi Rûf inside it flying over that run. I guess he slayed it.
- Some run we skied.
- On top of that run, looking at the other getting dropped of.
- “Slapp fotbollstumme”.
- Carston ready to drop in.
- Lukas after killing one more run. He gets to shred the best snow, in the shadow.
- Stephan might be one of smartest dudes I know. But sometimes it’s hard to take him serious…
- Ben taking his hangover pretty serious.
- Carston sending a big ass 3 in front of the cameras.
- Had a new pilot for a couple of days. Jag (if he spells it that way) came up from Juneau to give Al a break from flying. Jag’s neck is bigger than Carstons shoulders, and he’s a kick ass pilot.
- This is just after I bailed out on a toe-in a bit further down the ridge. Thought my landing was a bit sketchy, but then I saw Jag putting down Lukas and Carston here. Glad I had the mellow one…
- Carston dropping in on that line.
- Lukas shredding one more sweet run.
- This gives good perspective on how you sometimes scope from heli. It’s preeetty difficult to get a good sense of a run like this just by passing it a couple of times in the air…
- Time for another toe-in. We’re all missing Rob, of course. But we still feel he’s with us all the time. He’s watching over us, for sure.
- Flying around to find a spot where they could land (I didn’t do this run).
- Carston and Zack Giffin (who took Stephans seat for one day) hiking away to find the entrance to some on slope shredding.
- “How’s that entrance, Zack?”
- “Nothing special. Just the casual 50 degrees sunbaked then frozen shit snow.”
- i was gonna do a master piece out of this photo, but I didn’t get the camera up in time, so there’s more focus on stickers that Carston in the background. But some people are happy for that too! Thank you nice sponsors that are letting me do this ski thing.
- Thumbs up! Not a “slap fotbollstumme” (direct translation: “loose soccer thumb ), so I’m a bit disappointed. But that’s ok. I look like a diver. But that’s ok too.
- Just a random dude at the ferry terminal.
- Yeah. You never know when those terrorists decides to strike in Haines, right?
- Xavier asked for a French beer, and they gave him one half the size of mine!
- Our luxury “apartment”. It’s called Beach Road House. It’s close to a road, and it’s a house. The beach we haven’t really figured out yet. But the people who runs it are good folks!
- PB&J. I only eat this when I’m in the states. Not that healthy, but so good…

Eight iPhone shots that made me stoked
Gonna have a couple of days in Sweden before going away on two major film- and photo trips. I always miss the snow, But Stockholm is nice now too. Super warm. Here are some photos that made my last days.
Driving to the airport with Volkswagen Blue Motion is cheap!
Was out of food the other day. But then I found 1 kg Swedish cheese cake in the fridge. Stoked!
The next day I forgot to buy milk, so I had to have cream to the porridge. Sweet…
I was not out of eco lamb from the “Dalaskogarna” though. First barbecue of the year!
Stoked on the new KASK Mask 4 goggles. Perfect fit in the helmet! No gaps.
Tommen comes to Engelberg once a year. He’s a next level true-dude.
This boss was ruling Kastrup Airport today. Don’t know what he would fuck for, but the hair cut is KING.
