After watching snowboard bigair in X-games last night, I figured it was no other way out than starting to learn something myself.

Allready on the bus to Keystone I was preparing for a scary day on the main jump-line.  1 straightair through the park and 1 switch 540 later, I was on it. I wanted to do a switch wobble 900 with a safety-grab.

I think I had 10 or more tries in a row, just pumping different variations of the trick, until I put my feet down and lost my ski in the landing. I figured that the 900 was impossible to to with the axis I first started off with. After 10 more tries I put my feet down on the trick I probably have been most afraid of ever – Switch doublecork 1080.  Good last day in Colorado with great friends.

See you in Norway people! Thanks.

I was a little tired after yesterday’s icy skiing, but I stayed out for a long day of skiing.

Perfect weather today. A little icy and hard landings, but all in all a great day for skiing.

Have you read and understood the rules of American park-skiing? Nope, we Scandinavians ski as we do back home.

Sunny and warm Breck! Stokeness.

And let me introduce to you, the flying circus, or Shred’n Breakfast if you will. Kim, Lasse & Lars.

Many hours later….dead skier found at the doorstep. It takes it’s toll skiing 5 hours a day on these high altitudes with insanely many features in one park-lap.

Good park? Nope. Perfect park? YES!

Underflip 540.

So many of you have been screaming out lately, simply beacause you miss new videos coming up on the blog.  I have not stopped producing edits, but the lack of videos has two reasons:

1.) It’s hard to film yourself all day, and I suck at editing, and it’s not like I have my personal videographer with me wherever I go.

2.) I have been teaming up with the famous Shred’n Breakfast lately, and will be on their two upcoming episodes throughout the winter.

In the meantime, you might be able to see a new edit from somwhere. Who knows?

Today was one of the better days here in Breckenridge. Perfect weather, new snow in the slopes, perfect shaped jumps and rail-features. I ended up beeing the last guy leaving the park, which is rarely me. My feet never hold up for 6 hours straight up skiing, but today, skiing 10 am to 4 pm was not a problem !

We teamed up in two teams with one camera each, and got a few shots for the next Shred’n Breakfast episode. It was me and Øystein ”I-know-every-trick-in-the-fucking-world” Braathen, that hit the park until the bitter end. Stoked to hit the slopes again tomorrow.

And yeah, I finally learned how to do a underflip. SO fun!

Chair up to the slopes. So nice!

Breckenridge park-lane.

Quick lunch, where some of us was more interested in cleaning the camera- rather than eating food.

Beautiful day. This was the last run at 3.30 pm. Park closing-time.

Really looking foreward to skiing tomorrow!

Peace, Steffen.

When the big jump-line is closed in Key, and the the light totally sucks, rails is a good replacement. Keystone has got like 40 rails, and allmost no boxes, which makes it perfect for a game of s.k.a.t.e, even though if you are 15 people.

A lot of big creative features in Key, supersick!

Elvis and Sol in the liftline.

After what probably was the longest game of s.k.a.t.e ever, it was time for a coffee at Inxpot. Good day with friends skiing.

Looks like we have got a lot of snow during the night, and the sun is shining. I should probably get out.

Peace, S.
