Two very interesting days

As the title states, this have been two very interesting days. Yesterday I was tricked to join a urban-mission in Trondheim. Frankly, urban rails and hits is something I am not very comfortable with. 7 hours total, from when we started building the setup, until we was finished. I think I had like two shots total, and it was raining like nothing I have seen before. To even get enough speed is hard, bungee sucks!...

2/12/12 5 Second Rule

Headed up to see the after effects of a big Saturday. Forty or so tracks in plain view. Plenty of snow testers exploring all aspects. Greybird day and temperatures finally cooling off with the incoming front. Took full advantage of the stability and headed left middle gully for the first time all year. One might even call it a, gasp, SKI CUT!!! Just kidding, can’t help myself. The snow was settled and surfy, no movement at all the run....

Event Photography: Getting the Shot!

Compose to include signage and the crowd.  Don't do this!!  Sometimes you may need to bend the rules a bit to move a flash.  Just check that you do this safely and that theres no real consequence.  Go above and beyond what other photographers are doing.  Some events are best with no flash.

Hafjell-picture

Just to give you an idea of the jump-size in Hafjell this weekend. And to be honest, I think we are past the time where small jumps were cool.

LARS ligament rehab

LARS ligament week 1 I will be doing some updates on my rehabilitation with my new knee. There is not a lot of information about the LARS ligament or how recovery is with it. I would like to give everyone an in-depth look into it for those interested in alternative knee reconstructions. I sat down with Dr. Duval and the anaesthetist to discuss surgery. I had a spinal tap. Its about as close as you could get to being paralyzed....

2/11

Didn’t happen. Balmy, springlike temps and wind created slide problems again in lower tree areas. A buddy with a near miss in the West Vail trees in a lower aspen glade. Some hearsay reports of activity in EV, but will have to see tomorrow.

Busy weekend ? more to come!

Looks like my Salomon Rocker2 Powder-skis will have a little work to do the next days....

This damn pack is like forty pounds now? Am I missing anything? better yet, an ?Institute? aaahhh that?s better). And there are a staggering amount of these ?Tom Brady?s of the Backcountry? hitting our favorite spots and stashes.

The chapters are almost always listed in a table of contents. -Wikipedia My how things would be different if this were true to the chapters of life. Love- It can take an incredible amount of sacrifice to unconditionally love someone. By no means does that mean that everyone sacrifices to love. Another thing that I took for granted I guess.
