Verbier and then home

Went to Verbier for some good blue bird skiing but it turned out to be way to busy over there. School holidays... After only one day of skiing there we decided to leave and started looking for another place to go too.. In the last minute I decided to get on a last minute flight back home to Sweden and Ă–stersund. I will be here resting a few days more until I go back down to Lenzerheide in Switzerland for a photo shoot.

Steep skiing in Chamonix

Spent a week in Chamonix skiing steeps and visiting our friend Albin. So much fun!

FWQ competitions

Been doing a couple of Freeride World Qualifiers the last two weeks. First in Andorra and then another one in Chandolin, Switzerland. Not a great success at the comps, cause I had some problems in my run in Andorra and I crashed in Chandolin. Still good times skiing with friends, especially Andorra was a really fun trip. To get there we took the train to Barcelona where we spent a few days and from there we rented a car and drove up to Andorra. Traveling, skiing in new places, so nice.

Full packed car ready to go to Andorra
