We are in need of some snow here in Engelberg. Last week was ok but nothing great and now it’s just grey. It looks like there is something coming end of the week though so fingers crossed. I rode with my buddies Micke Brus and Spättan the other day waiting for my French “model” Patrick Vaugnat to show up so I snapped a few frames of them instead. I have also tuned and waxed my skis by the “tuning guru” Alain Frei, he has hooked me up with tons of stuff from KUU Wax

It’s not too many blue bird days I can ski without my big heavy backpack but today was one. I called the local ripper Yves Husler and we headed up the mountain. There are a few runs you never do when you shoot because they are more or less in the shade all the time and one of them is Galtiberg. It’s a sweet 2000m vertical run starting from Titlis all the way down to the valley floor and today I did it for the first time in a year or two.
Here are a few shots from today. From the first lift to my badminton battle with Petter in the evening.
I also have to ad a new action shot of me taken by the “pocket camera wizard” Johan Jonsson

They follow Marja during the season and this time it ended up being during a lifestyle/hiking shoot we did with Marja, Johan and Tom-Oliver for The North Face. It was poor light and snow that day so we did not really end up with anything good but here is the still shot from when Marja turned on that small wind lip.

Marja

After leaving Engelberg behind with great images we decided to take a day in Disentis before heading to Italy. But when we found out that the snow was great here we ended up staying. I have two more days with Johan and Marja before I go back to Engelberg and we’re not sure if we should move to another resort. Today I got some really good stuff of the crew but the shot I’m most happy with is the one Johan took of me below. A very mellow pow run but still a shot of me.

Engelberg had really good snow in the beginning of the week so I got some good stuff of Johan and Sverre. Marja Persson and Tom-Oliver Hedvall joined me and Johan to shoot some stuff for The North Face. We are probably going to Italy tomorrow to get some fresh snow.

Yesterday was time to work a bit again. I joined Sverre Liliequist and Johan Jonsson in the morning and we had some warm up runs before the light turned good. The snow was still epic so we got some good stuff done.
Today it’s snowing again so time for some office work.
Here are 2 b-shots

I just need to promote the best powder ski in the world DPS Lotus 138
I just love them, I can’t see why to ski anything else on a powder day. Actually they ski good in most stuff.
You probably understand that I had an epic day today, Engleberg was insane!

138 in the middle, the old 138 on the right and Lotus 120 on the left. Just buy them
