Burger´s season edit 2011

2012-01-15T03:34:00.000-08:00

In case of my bruised ankle, I was not allowed to ski since dec. 23rd By the way it was nearly snowing non stop since that day. At least my dr. and physio therapist told me that I can try it in the end of next week again. So there is no new footage, but some good shots from last season, which give me the motivation to get back on skis as soon as possible ;-)
enjoy

Heimvorteil - freeriding in Tirol

2011-12-09T01:13:00.000-08:00

... after a lot of work, commitment and all the other necessary things I´m proud to present you my first movie ;-)
Starring Alex Hoffmann, Michi Trojer and myself. For those who never heard about us, the film is a mixture of snowboarding (Alex), telemarking (Michi) and skiing (myself). We wanted to show that it is not absolutely necessary to travel the world to get some of our beloved pow pow :-) so every scene is filmed around my hometown Innsbruck.
We had already shown the movie at the Arlberg Filmfest, Zirler Filmfest, Wattener Filmfest and Freeridefestival Innsbruck.
It was a great experience to see the audience watching our movie while having a smile on their faces and getting rewarded by their final applause at the end.
We will show Heimvorteil in Nürnberg (D) on dec. 15. in the Marmot Store and in the K2 Lodge in Penzberg (D) a bit later.
So what more can I say more than thx to our camera team and everybody else who supported us,
Enjoy!

BurgerTV Season 2.0

2011-11-17T10:25:00.000-08:00

... here we go, I know you´re all waiting for snow, but here is a small thing that could raise your mood a bit, I guess :-) Me and Joi decided to keep on producing high professional, serious, unbelieveable and unforgettable ski-action-thriller movies, which you all know as BurgerTV ;-)
By the way, we created a facebook page of BurgerTV as well and as you can imagine, we got a million fans and likes in 30 minutes!!
No way, I´m just kidding! But the page does exist now and at this point I should describe what and why we are doing here...
BurgerTV is a parody about everybody who takes himself too seriously!
It takes skiing to a whole new level of extremly dangerous and gnarly die hard dedication to FUN! Ingredients: pure organic manure combined with a stunning moderation by Schoaschi the Anchorman and special appearances by incredibly famous super action snowsport heroes!
Enjoy!

2nd day on skis...

2011-10-23T04:02:00.001-07:00

... with less pain.
Those few powder turns gave me enough positive energy to work on hard, to be able to charge again, as soon as possible.
In the next two weeks I´ll have some more controlls and doctor visits, so I hope they gonna tell me - you can go for it ;-)

cheers,
Burger

Long story short - legendary experience! =)

achilles injury - season ender

2011-05-19T03:18:00.000-07:00

On April, 2nd I was still searching for some north sided venues with powpow, especially because I had to cancel my first Alaska trip a few days ago. We got the advice from the local heli operation that we should not come, because of low and bad snow conditions (plus I got ill too). So I was not really happy about that, but I tried to make the best out of it... that means ski your frust away while getting some faceshots ;-)
I went to a local ski resort with my buddies Michi, Fabi (better known as Junior) and Joi where we expected some good runs. And thats what we found...

Joi / Burger - posing shot ☺

But it was no surprise that wind and especially sun always gets stronger at this time of the year,

so conditions were changing and sometimes pretty gnarly and tricky.

Just one more reason to ski some northfaces where the snow was stable and still powder. After we skied all the easy accessible stuff, we decided to hike a bit and try something new.

What should I say, this hike brought us a super cool run with a steep entry followed by some nice faceshots...

Joi droped in first

and got rewarded

followed by myself

and Junior

Unfortunately that is not the whole story, but it was fun until that point...
After this powderturns we had to go through a channel which brought us on the next slope, which was wide open but not northsided anymore. There was about 5cm firn on alot of frozen snow and it was nothing special anymore, more or less just a field that brings you back to the traverse into the ski area. As Joi skied before us we´ve seen that it looked good, so I skied a bit faster and more to the left of his tracks and there the shit started. I was in a big right turn when I got into a field of wind created snow rips, I was able to compensate the first hit, followed by some more, till I got poped out and crashed really bad with a few cartwheels.
Thereby I cracked my Achilles tendon, my in-band ripped out of the bone at the same ankle, some ruptures of the muscle fibres below my ass, my groins were also hurting alot and my left knee's in-band is teared. Nice Package, hm?

At this moment my body was just full of pain, but I didn´t know that it was that bad, so I tried to ski further down, because I was in an uncomfortable dangerous position of the slope... but after a few meters I realized that I wasn´t able to manage it on my own feet. Thx to my buddies that they reacted so well and brought me out of this avalange zone while ordering the rescue heli which brought me to the hospital.

At least surgery went good and everything will heal again without a permanent damage at all. Yesterday the cast has been removed and I already started the physio...

I´m feeling better now and I´m really motivated to train hard to get back on skis in autumn...

Freeride Festival, Powder hunt, Filming, Competition

2011-03-16T05:26:00.000-07:00

Hello my friends,

here you get some impressions of the last 4 weeks...

first I drove to the Montafon Frerride Festival which was organized by Eric Themel. Thx again, for all your motivation and ability to set such cool happenings up!

Foto by Paco Reich

Then I was searching for snow in Switzerland, nearly went to Italy the day after, but then we got some fresh snow at home. Not too much, but if you chose the right resort or area, sometimes with a bit of hiking, you get rewarded with 30- 60cm of the white gold we all love so much…

Fotos by Alex Hoffmann

Of course the next thing to do was to set up the film crew, choose one of those destinations and get ourselfs into the car again…
but it was really worth it, cause we got some good shots out of it, had alot of fun and enjoyed some nice faceshots while filming.

Snapshot by Simon Platzer

Then after a while our lovely powder was not so easy to get to anymore, so the hiking and the exploring of possible north faces started again…
but I can tell you, we found some really great faces!!

Snapshot by Burger

Last weekend I went to Nendaz (Switzerland) to compete in the 4* event of the Freeride World Qualification Tour. But due to the changing conditions it was not so easy to ski and I had quite some problems to find my flow while skiing. So I got 17th, but only 12 went to the final… final result was 29th, but at least I was able to reinforce my position on skis in the tour so I’ll be allowed to start in the top events next year. (actual seeding list 33)

And now I proudly present you my new skiboot sponsor !!! DALEBOOT !!! Amazing custom made skiboots since 1969... so they have alot of experience and their fit is just perfect! Thx Rob!!!
If you're interested feel free to visit their homepage Dale Boot

Now I´m looking forward to some fresh snow for the next days…

Big Mountain Hochfügen 4*

2011-02-07T22:27:00.000-08:00

This weekend the 4* FWQ Big Mountain Hochfügen has been taken place,
since Hochfügen is just 50 minutes from Innsbruck it felt like a home-race and I was pretty focused to show a good run.

So I had some discussions with my buddies Max and Alex about the snowconditions and possible lines.

Finally I decided to ski as it is shown in the pic. It was a line which allows you to ski fast and fluid, but still with a lot of jumps and features in it. (the view is from the side, so it looks a bit like traversing)
On competition day it was sunny, but we had a strong wind at the top. Luckily the snowconditions were not bad, a bit changing from a windpressed start, to a tracked but powdery middlepart and a hard endzone. The venue is a bit hard to orientate at the top, because there is a plateau which is rolling into the next plateau and then it gets steep at the bottom part.
3, 2, 1 drop in

A small drop at the start oft he run,

some turns heading forward to the double drop,

which actually did not has a nice middle-landing anymore,

then I wanted to do a backflip over this kicker-rock, but I underestimated the transition to the steep take off, so I lost all my speed and I barely jumped a straight air over it.

Afterwards I had to ski down through a tight, pretty skied out steep passage to reach my exit drop,

I didn`t jump with too much speed, because I was not sure about the snow conditions in the landing and didn`t want to lose my skis again at the last drop.
I stomped it and I was so happy to reach the finish gate on my skis after a safe and fluid run.
Of course there were some passages I could have skied harder or some bigger cliffs I could have taken, but I got 9th!!!

That`s a good result for not taking too much risk and it`s nice to know that there is even more possible... stoked :-)

So I`m looking forward to go to the Montafon this weekend, for Eric Themels invitational freeride festival…

Engadinsnow 2011 FQT 3*

2011-02-02T00:22:00.000-08:00

… another competition weekend is over, unfortunately not a successful one.
It would have been the first time that I was really happy with my run. I`ve chosen a line were the snow was really good (except for 2 turns) and it was fun to ski too.
I was a bit surprised that I felt quite strong and really motivated at the start gate, because 2 days before I was sweating under the influence of fever in my bed. Anyway the venue was not to long, quite steep and filled with alot of opportunities. St. Moritz didn`t get any snow the last 2 weeks, but the temperature stayed under -10°C, nearly no wind and the sun is still not too strong, so we had some good old powder. The only hard parts in my line were below the first cliff, that`s why I decided not to jump the whole thing and one turn before the inrun to the last cliff was frozen too. The rest of the venue was fun to ski.

Till the the last cliff I was able to stomp my drops clean and I skiied fast and fluid. So I was totally focused on my last drop, which was a bit like a downhill jump. I needed to jump off with a good portion of speed to come over the rocks below it. But there was still my „double eject“ of La Clusaz in my head,, so I`ve chosen this kind of jump, because the impact of the landing should not be too hard and it was still steep enough. So I gained enough speed, jumped off, everything went perfect…

… stable position in the air, landing. But there was some sticky even older foul snow under the 20 cm of powder. So I came in this old sticky layer of snow, got stucked for even less than a second and my skis were off again. Thumbling without skis, I LOVE IT. So I really needed to change something with my setup, cause it sucks so much if your material works against you. Thats why I changed my binding and mounted it on another position. We`ll see if it works, I HOPE SO. Because the next comp is on saturday in Hochfügen and I don`t wanna crash again, especially not here at home.
See you soon

no luck in La Clusaz

2011-01-17T12:04:00.000-08:00

... I'm back from La CLusaz radikal Mountain, which was a 4 star event of the Freeride World Qualification Tour. La Clusaz is a nice little village in France with alot of possibilities to get stoked from some sick or smooth freeride action. Normaly.
Unfortunately it was raining up to the peaks a few days ago, so we did not have any nice pow pow.

The face was was about 600 vertical meter and with this conditions it was really exhausting...
I got the last start number (for man 71), so I had to deal with changing conditions and alot of tracks. Anyway, I skied pretty fast in the upper part of the venue and stomped the first cliff,

so I thought the hardest part was done.

But close before the end I jumped over a pumb with some bushes and landed in a bomb hole of an earlier competitor.

That was the end of my run... my bindings double ejected.

ready for the competitions

2011-01-12T23:36:00.000-08:00

I'm feeling really fit, after all the preparation training and a short trip to Barcelona.
So now it's time to start the competition season, therefor I'll start my way to La Clusaz (France 4* comp) in a few minutes...
it's about 7 & 1/2 hours drive from Austria, through Switzerland, to France.

Here are some pix which were shot in the end of december by Mad Moe.

enjoy

... sd card was full,
oh my good, these amateurs :-)
so let's go on with the end of the same jump I did 5 min earlier...

... ssstuuuuuschhhhh ...

... aaaahhhhhh ...

Ski Season review 2010

2010-10-01T10:03:00.000-07:00

... I just put together my own video footage from last season... so most of the sequences are pretty unprofessional filmed or in POV.

This was my first season were I spent most of the days on skis again. It was a bit challenging to ski at the level that I set up myself, but I proudly can say that I always recognised a further progress. And the best thing at all is that it is so much fun to ski again and that the opportunity to keep on charging seems to be endless!

Trailer - Marmot

2010-09-30T08:45:00.000-07:00

... sooo after a summer of being a workoholic, it´s time to concentrate on the important things again :-)
I can´t tell you a lot about some summer actions, there were just some cool hicking trips around my hood and a short holiday in Sardinia. Where I got two days of storm, which were really nice for windsurfing!
But anyway, summer is overrated ;-)
Last season I started a film project for Marmot and in the meanwhile also other partners, like Tirol, Sporthotel Olymp, Arbor, Kohla, ABS and PowerBar joined the film project. Unfortunately we got a lot of snow in the beginning but then it changed a lot during the season and it was pretty dangerous... so we were unable to go for bigger lines. So we need to keep on filming this season, to get the footage we wanna have. But anyway it was fun to start this project and here you can watch the trailer...

enjoy

impressions of the the last 2 seasons

here is a short review of 2009 & 2010 in form of some video footage...

...it shows a part of my first descent from the Warenkarseitenspitze in the eastern Alps, several Freeride Worldtourstops like Krasnaja Poljana (Sochi), Squaw Valley and Tignes and some POV filmings from the Fieberbrunnn FWT Qualifier...

hope you enjoy it,

peace and out

RFC the 2nd

2010-04-17T10:53:00.000-07:00

... so it's snowing really hardcore since 25 hours and there is about 1m of fresh pow pow up there on the mountain and an avalanche danger of 5. So we just got told that the competition is cancelled and our first run count at all, that means I'm 21nd in the Ski ranking! This was really a strange experience with the volcano eruption, all flights are still cancelled and we will not be able to fly home on Monday needer. But it's pretty cool here, so it will be nice to get some more impressions of Norway :-)

I started my run not that good as wanted to do it, because the face was extremely rolling in and difficult to orientate and all the frozen muggles,tracks and mini spines didn't make it easy to ski fast and so I didn't get my cliffs at the upper part... but at least I stomped the exit cliff which was about 10m into a really hard landing... but that's Norway :-)

So here are a few impressions and big congratulations to Alex who get 2nd in the Snbrd ranking!

it was cold and windy in the morning

Röldal Norway the 1st

2010-04-15T07:37:00.000-07:00

on Tuesday Alex and me cought the plain to Vienna and then to Oslo to get to the 10th edition of the Röldal Freeride Competition... but to get there we had to travel the whole day long... we left Innsbruck at 6.30 am and arrived in Röldal at 9.00 pm after a nearly endless drive from Oslo to Röldal along really nasty roads... today should have been the first competition day, but we had some snowfall in the morning and caused by the volcano eruption in Iceland the rescue heli didn`t get a flying permit, so we just had a small expression session and we are all qualified for tomorrow, final day one, NICE!!! The conditions are changing during the day, from frozen hard snow in the morning to nice spring snow in the afternoon... Now we`re chilling in the garden in front of the OLDEST cabin of Röldal and are grilling some chicken with some beer :-) getting prepared and strong for tomorrow...

Hicking and exploring new lines

2010-04-12T10:16:00.000-07:00

Sorry that I didn't found the time to give you some updates :-)
but here we go...
what did I do the last few weeks? Aside from learning for another exam and some other mandatory responsibilities I had some nice film days including some treeruns and a really interesting nightsession too... And what's better than hicking up some venues, getting more and more away from the smoggy, noisy & stressy city, diving into absolute silence, taking deep breaths of the clean mountain air, feeling the sun shining on your face and the pleasant anticipation for the rewarding ski run down after reaching the top :-) sounds a little bathetic, but that's the way it is!

So enough words now, just watch through the pix, they are self-explanatory...

Oh I nearly forgot to say taht the guy with the yellow jacket is Joi, a really good ski buddy..

...3, 2, 1, straightline :-)

good hicking skins are indispensable, I can really recommend those from Kohla...

...climbing up some steep tight couloir, in really solid and stable snow...

...then we had to install our rope to catch the good old pow pow on the north sided slope...

so what should I say more, than every step was worth it !!

to be continued :-)

Nendaz 3* FWQ

2010-03-18T13:51:00.000-07:00

Last weekend was the Nendaz 3 star Qualifier in the french part of Swizerland. I got a ski starting place in the open... so after after a few traffic jams on the highway around Zürich, nearly no space in the car and 7,5h later we arrived in Nendaz. Which is a really nice little village in a typical old swiss style :-) The next day was the open, where we were able to choose two out of three contestfaces. It didn't take me a long time to decide which faces I would like to go. So the first one was not very long, but steep and with a lot of features in it. A couple of lift rides and a 40min hike later I was on the top and ready to go. But there was a first come, first serve system so I had to watch some riders going down first. Finaly the starter gave me the countdown to go... The venue was a bit steeper than I expected it, but it was fun to ride and I had a very good run.

The second face was a little bit longer and we were only allowed to do the inspection from the side (which was somehow strange). At the top I had to wait about an hour watching one going down after another... I had a good feeling about the line that I had chosen... a fast line with 3 drops and the highest in the middle... so I droped in, a few turns and first drop. The landing wasnt soft at all, but still good to land... I knew I had to do two big turns and then to the right to get to the next cliff... I dont know why but I missed this entry and went too late to the right side, so there was only the last small drop left and in the end I just had a solid, fast, but not really spectacular run...

In sum I got 19th of ca. 65 ski competitors, but only 12 were chosen for the final... so I'm pretty sure if I wouldn't have missed that cliff, I would have been really close or maybe in the final... but at least I got the reassurance to be able to compete on ski too :-) thats nice!!! So the next day I brought some beer up to the mountain to watch the final... which was a really great show!!! Cool to watch!!!

Pitztal Wildface

2010-03-07T09:56:00.000-08:00

After some snow yesterday we had a beautiful weather and good conditions today.
The Pitztal Wildface is a offpiste time race with 6 direction gates and a vertical drop of (a bit more than) 1500m and 4,6km length...

This view shows the whole run from the top of the mountain to the scott tent

after I saw some crashes from the starting gate, I expected difficult conditions, especially with my high starting number, so I decided to go for a fluid but safe run...
while my run I figured out that it was much more exhausting than I expected it, so the real challenge was to keep on skiing fast over all the tracked terrain, but I made it to the 7th place!
In a time of 08:31.91min

Congratulations to Alex, who won the Snowboard ranking and Fabi "a.k.a. Junior" who got 3rd on Skiis!

Junior at the first few meters of his run

All in all it was a cool, but massive exhausting day :-) now I have some days to prepair for the Nendaz 3 star qualifier in Nendaz, which will be next weekend...

contest week

2010-02-19T04:49:00.000-08:00

Last week I started the contest season and went to the 3 star FWQ Engadin snow, which is always one of the best organized and most fun competitions each winter. This year I got the opportunity to start in the Ski Open too, so I was super motivated and wanted to show that I'm able to ski at the same level as the others. In short I wanted to reach the final, so I decided to set everything on one card... Either I stomp that cliff and I'm in, or I crash and I'm out...

So I was really focused on my drop, which had a little flat landing, so I needed to land it as clean as possible and all the power my legs could effort ... So I went of this cliff with good speed to minimize the bomb effect, but it was still a really hard impact (after 12m), which pressed me down for a butcheck, but I came up again and was still on my skis, fighting against the side rotation I got from the landing. For a second it felt like everything went good, but the rotation impulse was so strong, that I got pushed of my skis and started to thumble... f*** :-)

Anyway, there are really impressive mountains around St. Moritz ... the one in the middle is the famous bianco spine of the Piz Bernina.

The day after was the Final on the north face of mount Corvatsch. At the first view the face didn't look that bad, but there was much wind in it and the conditions were changing from icy crusts to compact snow to powder nearly all 20 meters. So you never knew what the next turn would look like... Because ot that I tried to ride safe, fluent and without any bigger drops. But the extremely flat light and the dispersed snow of the heli didn't make it easier... Finally I crashed in the outrun, so my run was nothing special at all...

Next stop was the Fieberbrunn Big Mountain 3 star Qualifier Final. Unfortunately the Open was cancelled, so I didn't got the opportunity to fight for a startingplace on ski. But I was set for the final on snowboard, where I've chosen a steep technical start and a speedy second half. So I managed the technical part pretty good, althought there was not much snow left for me but everything went good, till this medium size drop in the bottom third. I had a good feeling in the air and was sure that I'll stomp it, but when I landed my nose went under the snow and I thumled... so the run was fucked up and I was pretty frustrated in the outrun, I just wanted to get out of there...
In the picture you can see my line drawn in...

Despite of me, Max rode a really good line and won the competition, Congratulations! For more details look at http://maxzipser.com/
... therefore we partied all night long.

... so here is a POV compilation of some small treeruns, the Engadin Open and the Fieberbrunn Final ... enjoy

avalanche awareness training

2010-01-20T03:40:00.000-08:00

at a bad weather day I met up with some of my friends to train how to handle our avalanche transceivers, how to probe and how to dig.
This is really important, because there is nothing worst than to ride with someone who has no clue of avalanches and rescue plans. So its much more confident to ride with your friends who know what to do and are able to safe your life!!!

at the beginning we had to create a training field which is stomped and full of tracks...

to probe different objects could help you to feel more confident in a serious situation!

sharing and discussing different experiences is very important

so if you would like to see more impressions of this day, pease visit max zipsers blog

2009-12-06T07:18:00.000-08:00

Yesterday was my 18th ski/snbrd day of this season, which was supernice. At last we did not only had the opportunity to go to the glacier, because we got enough snow the last days.
Skiing this deep pow pow was so much fun... Just watch this short clip and you will know, what I'm talking about :-)

first snow

2009-10-14T00:18:00.000-07:00

On October the 12th the weather forecast said that a cold front with snow should come tomorrow and it should stay for the next days. I didn't really believed in this forecast, because most times its not right. But when I woke up the next morning, it didn't look like autumn anymore... it looked like winter. The next moment I got a call from my buddy Joi that we should go up to our homeresort, after a short check on the web measurement station we decided to do it. But I had to go to University first, which was super juicy :-)

But then we started our hike, first we had to carry our skis on our backpacks but not that far. Then we hiked on with the skins. And meter after meter the landscape got more beautiful, the trees were covered with snow, no noise, like in the deepest winter.

But when we looked down to the valley, we saw the green fields and reallized what we were doing, awesome! All these amazing impressions while tracking up let us feel so happy, that we nearly forgot the effort.

A few 100 meters under the top we got into a tight fog field and only a few minutes later it started to dump again. So we reached the top after 1100m altitude of hiking, and it was unbelievable, we were standing in 75cm of freshest -8°C cold fluffy deluxe powder, yeah!!!

We tried to make some cool fotos or filming, but it was dumping to hard, so we could hardly see anything... So we decided to switch of the cam and just skied down near the trees enjoying the endless deep ride, what a season opening!!!

... to be continued ...

Cima Tosa - Canalone Neri (Icecouloir)

2009-05-26T04:05:00.000-07:00

The Cima Tosa is the highest peak with 3173m in the Brenta group (Italy). Alex and me went there on friday, march 22nd to climb up and ride down the longest Icecouloir of the east Alps - The Canalone Neri (50°) with a vertical drop of 850m.

really really heavy bastards

we had to carry our whole stuff four hours to the winter room

midnight cooking in the winter room

we went on at half past four

sunrise at the Cima Tosa

Alex is entering the couloir

I'm just before the Icewall

nearly the whole way down is a no fall zone, because the icewall is waiting for you at the end

the couloir was too icy, so we had to decide us against the descent ...

... read between the lines ...

the drop in with a really beautiful background

last view down :-( but only a view

so we had to rope down the normal way

one of our rare turns

a short break near the winter room, before we had to carry our stuff back
And there we got an aprovement, that we made the right decision, because we saw an avalange coming down the Canalone Neri!!! And some big rocks came down the wall you see behind Alex.

pretty exhausted on the way back

Last view back, after 16h of hicking...

On April 23th me and Max drove to Southtirol to ride the Hochgall (3436m) Northface with 55° and a 300m vertical drop. But the weatherforecast was not really right, because the weather was really bad.

... at this point we already hicked 7 hours, still hoping for a weatherchange...

Brochkogel Northface and Taschach Icewall

2009-05-11T12:27:00.000-07:00

On April 15th I went with Alex to the Pitztaler glacier to ride two northfaces. First we hicked to the base of the Brochkogel and then we ascended with climbing irons to the top.

From the top we traversed a little bit to the drop in of the 55° steep with a vertical drop of 250m northface. In the face were perfect conditions ... 3 ... 2 ... 1 ... drop in

I was really happy about my first descent of a steep northface.

After this perfect run we hicked some meters up again and traversed to the top of the Taschach Icewall. This northface has a vertical drop of 600m and a steepness of 50°. We had nearly endless seeming beautiful turns with a clear blue sky.

DCR on ski again

2009-05-11T10:38:00.000-07:00

During the whole season my motivation for skiing was getting bigger and bigger. I never really stoped skiing, but in the last years my focus was definitely on snowboarding. In the end of march I started to do more skiing again to have a good variety, and I really like it to stand on skis again.

FWT Qualifier Nendaz and Jasna

2009-05-11T09:23:00.000-07:00

After Tignes I went on to Nendaz (Swizerland) and joined the Qualifier, which was the partnerevent of Verbier. I managed my two qualification runs pretty well and won one of them, so I was in the final. Of course I wanted to win the final to get my ticket for Verbier, but I had a wrong appreciation of my second landing, so I thumbled a couple of times... No victory, no ticket, no Verbier :-(

A few weeks later I had the same experience again. I got 3rd in the qualification in Jasna, so I wanted to win the final... but I landed on ice and thumbled again, this was definetly not the way I expected my end of the competition season!

Freeride de Tignes

2009-05-11T08:23:00.000-07:00

Back from the USA I had to go directly to Tignes, which was my favourite FWT stop. Because the French people, food and mountains were so cool!

Nice atmosphere with a speed gliding show before the Bibdraw.

The Bibdraw on stage with big names like Flo Örley and Alex Coudray next to me.

We had super conditions at the competition, so I reached the 7th place with a fluid and safe run.

Max, Drew and me are signing posters for some people ... strange but nice feeling :-)

Max had a super smooth but fast run and got second - Congratulations Dude!!!

Hauni stomped a really sick drop and won the ski ranking - Congratulations man!!!

Tram Face Squaw Valley

2009-05-11T07:02:00.000-07:00

After hours of traveling by car and by plain, I finally arrived in San Francisco and discovered that Forrest Gump's company really exists :-) But I was feeling worst and worst.

The next day I got fever and I think I got it of all this hardcore aircondition machines.
Then I got my rental SUV, which was really cool, but still hard work to drive to Squaw, while fighting with heatwaves, head- and stomachache.

(photographed by C. Margot, official picture of the FWT)
My drop in from the Tram building roof; I stomped it clean, went down as fast as I can and focused my power and concentration at the triple drop at the end. But I still was not fit enough and crashed at the last drop, so I got 11th at the Silverado face.

the next days it was dumping really hard, so we had some downdays in the motel
... waiting for the final at the Tram face ...

... having a steak and playing a bit in Reno...

... washing my clothes in the Tahoe City laundry ...

... finally getting ready to ride some pow, and I was more and more excited to ride the Tram Face! But then the final was cancelled, because of a high avalangerisk

when I left Squaw Valley, the Tram Face looked brilliant, but we were not allowed to ride it...

back on the road again

first descent Warenkarseitenspitze

2009-05-11T04:09:00.000-07:00

The successful and long planned first descent of the Warenkarseitenspitze (3351) in the Stubaier Alps was the first highlight of this season. After three years of observation and waiting we made it happen on January 9th 2009.

after four hours of hiking and climbing we reached the top

this is the view from the top down the slope, just before the drop in
