What's going on?

What's going on?

After bruising my knee in Schnalstal I took 10 days off from skiing and enjoyed the advanced springtime. I went to the Iseo lake and to the Garda lake for some relaxing days.

After that it was time to put the skis on again for the last days of the season. From April 29th to 31st I was part of the Disoriented Girls Camp as a coach. It was the first time that also Freeski girls were able to participate at this camp and I'm pretty sure it wasn't the last time. Here a few pics. Check also www.disoriented.com

Straight after this me and Snowboard buddy Simon Gruber went to the Schöne Aussicht Hütte where the rest of the Smith Optics Team joined us for the annual shooting. As usual it turned out to be one of the coolest weeks of the season. Backyard jibbing, perfect park conditions and Arnaud Rougier, Markus Eder and me were also blessed with some late season pow turns. It would take too long to tell you all the details of this week. Thanks to Franz, Flo and Susi for making it possible.

This were my last days of the season. Now I'm at home waiting for the Schnalstal summer opening where I'll stay mostly before visiting Argentina in August with an Italian crew.

In the meantime we also did a little skate shot with some lokal riders in Bruneck and Harald Wisthaler a good photografer and friend. Here are some shots. Thanks Harry!
