Freeride World Tour 1

Last years final crew just finishing the tour in Verbier and soon we are all together again in Chamonix

Russia and rain..

The Freeride World Tour is on, first out is the guys. They are back in Sochi, Russia where we also had the first stop last year. This year it was decided that only the guys are doing this event and to be honest its suits me pretty good..Its a cool place but to be able to not travel far the first month of the season feels pretty good! And the poor guys are stuck with rain and the comp is been postponed. I hope they soon get some snow and sun to nice riding! Torgrim gi gass! Take a look at whats on right now FWT TV

Chamonix for me playing around with my toys from Volkl/ Marker and Dalbello 
It has been full on this autumn so still figuring out my new equipment, my new setup with Volkl and Dalbello is offcourse different in the beginning when you skied with the same setup for three years. With a strange Desember snow vise I have just now tried the different models (Katana, Gotama, Mantra, Kuro , Shopstix and more..) out in all kinds of different conditions. Last days I got some more time of actually just schred around with friends. I have used the time to move around on my Marker bindings and testing some different lenghts (183 and 190) to find the best balance on the Katana skis for me and yesterday felt really good! The Schizo binding is good for playing with different stands super easy. Its a good ski for different conditions and I will try it out in the competition next week. Yeah!

Chamonix and Freeride World Tour coming up
For the girls the first stop on the tour will be next week here in Chamonix, thats cool. The guys are coming back from Russia to catch up here. I just went up in the area for the first time a few days ago and the snow conditions looks good up there this year! I prefer to ski so just had a quick look this time..and its a new face, or extended so the oportunities are much bigger compered to the qualifying event last year so think it will be a good show to watch! Lets hope for some more fresh and then sun for all of us to enjoy.
