Euro season is on!

 

 

Grete Elliassen, Ingrid Beckstrom, myself and Andrea Binning the last day of the team shoot. Sightseeing in Courmayeur :)

First up this year was the Volkl team shoot in Chamonix. With 22 riders, photographers and powder we had some great days the first week of the year.
It was really good to be back in Chamonix after almost a hole season without riding my favorite spot last year. The snow is back in Europe this winter, finally!
Thanks to Volkl, Schinka and Andrea for organizing this ski family week ;-)
And big up to the team!

I am so exited about this winter! With snow in Europe, inspiring projects to work with and a totally pain free body I cant wish for more..

Chaoz Production- Full movie!

Broken Record by Chaoz Productions - Official free film from Chaoz Productions on Vimeo.

My first year filming in Norway was pretty sick. Not very easy conditions and weather but traveling in this amazing nature and exploring my own country was something I always wanted to do. From the west coast and the Sunnmørs Alps to Narvik and Lofoten further north to Øksfjord in Finnmark even more north and then my final trip of the season to the arctic environment of Svalbard! Not only the wild nature and the wild life blew me away but to visit all these small societies and see how people live was an adventure I will never forget. My part in Chaoz is a mix from Sunnmøre, Narvik and Lofoten. Hope you enjoy the movie! Another season is on and Europe is full of snow! Finally! Stay tuned!

French days

Was cool to go back to France after a long break from the country where I spend alot of time last years. If3 Annecy movie festival, summer weather, winter friends, movies, signings and parties was fun!
Thanks for the good response, it means alot :)

Chamonix was the right place to go after a little shaky Sunday morning..After a good catch up with friends and a nice rest I was stoked to spend two days up in these mountains again! Magic every time ;)
Had a nice day biking with Erlend who must be stoked to go out training with me cause it means bringing his heavy camera pack ;)




After some noise from this crew we went over to say hello on the way down. I told Erlend not to let us get stuck but we where pretty easy to talk into hanging out for a couple of ours :)
Full on bbq, salads, home made desert, wine and coffee avec homemade goodies ;)
The local mountain guys know how to appreciate a summer day in Oktober! Not so easy to film balance training after but for sure fun!

If3 this weekend!

The biggest freeski movie festival is happening in Europe after a big success in Montreal last week. Here are the teasers from the crews I worked with this season :) The 3 first will be at festival in Annecy and last one will only be touring in the states. Hope to see you in Annecy!

Cool to have this shot published! It was taken the only day we got a bit of sun at our stop in Lofoten. With some nice days at Kabelvåg hotel this face was talking to me one morning. Jon Håvard Grøgaard joined me to the top while the rest of the crew hiked below. We almost missed the light so I tried playing on the spine to stay in the sun. But it wasn't much playing on the shady side, that was even harder than in the sun so headed back to the sunny part where it was a tiny bit more friendly.
I was planning to have Grete Elliassen with me to the top too but with the snow conditions we had she didn't think it was very tempting. And I totally understand her. I was hoping for spring snow but this was closer to ice with some mini sluff on top. It's a beautiful little steep mountain and next time I wanna ski it in good snow and rip down instead of having security breaks on!
Thanks to Erlend Haugen for the shot :) And to Grete and Karina screaming so I could hear them while skiing down :) And with the icy sound under my skis they must have taken out their best voice to make me hear it! First I was thinking something scary was about to happen and checked behind my shoulder but it was was all rock solid so nothing was moving.
But even it was rock hard it was good to have a run like this again. With very little snow in Chamonix all season and I missed my steep riding..
Also big thanks to Fri Flyt for publishing this shot and if you haven't done it yet, run out and buy this issue. It's full of goodies!

Next Saturday! World premiere for Broken Record filmed in Norway! Check out the teaser! Also coming to IF3 Montreal and Annecy!

Svalbard/Spitsbergen-sailing the arctic!

Been dreaming a long time about exploring Svalbard. This spring a sweet opportunity with living on a sailboat and explore the unskied westcoast came up. Perfect way of ending the season! A season totally different from any other after a pretty confusing weather turnout. With trip after trip cancelled cause of lack of snow both in Europe and Alaska my dream about exploring Norway step by step turned into almost a full season in my own country. Norway has been a place I skied very little in since I started freeriding. With a stunning nature around you at all time and sunlight all night the travel aspect was amazing even though the snow conditions has been variable. The combination of fjords and mountains, the small local communities and their life in these desert places has been a great thing to see and experience. Hope you like the edit! Thanks to Doug Stoup/Ice Axe and Noah Howell!
