Alarm-clock set to 06.55 this morning. Real skiing for the first time this season, in Trysil, Norway. Many resorts made snow last week, and planned to open. Allthough, there were only a few who actually did, and had park-elements up and running. Trysil were one of them. I am allways curious if I have forgotten skiing since last season, or not. Today it worked out pretty good.  Arman didn t mind two jumps and three boxes/rails in one run....

After a short break it was time for the first run to ty to qualify into semi-finals. I had nr 1 on my jersey and was the first one to drop. Semi-finals was head to head with 2 runs, best one counts....

The key to this whole ?bringing it back?...

Alex opens the video with some amazing snowboarding, followed by the others throwing it down on skis. The filming of SHINE ON took place over two days at the end of May. There were a lot of amazing skiers and snowboarders out that weekend. It seems like Mammoth is the place to go when all the other resorts have closed for the season. The main camera used throughout was the Panasonic HVX200....

It s monday night, what to do? You go slay some rails! I brought Arman and Knut from Lillehammer to session on the 10m downrail at the railpark. Let s just say that the lights you see to the right are lucky to be alive and working. The day today was rainy and gray. Spent the morning working out at the HH-gym.  Plan for tomorrow? Well, let s just say I think it will be fun, and white!...

Mellow lift line thanks to two chairs. Run one, Yea we didnt get the 40 inches Jackson Hole got. But we made it work. Run two, the mini jib run.
