Good days
We have had some really good days lately. Conditions are almost two good to be true with continuos snowfalls and three, four days of sun in-between. Some pictures below.
Snow was fluffy and perfect for one-turns. Seen through Mattias lens.
Another shot of me signed by Mattias. Love the lighting in this one.
Wille jumping of a huge cliff. Can you spot him?
I was trusted with the camera and could take this cover shot of Mattias. I even got to choose the zoom!
Recovering in the lift. It’s tiring being on the mountain for a full day.
Now I’m getting ready for a day of heliskiing with Mattias, Bergman and photographer Daniel Rönnbäck. Super stoked!

The valley next door
Yesterday Mattias, Eric and me went on a trip to ski in one of the small neighbour resorts close to Engelberg. The part of Switzerland where we live is famous for it’s many small cable cars, mainly privately owned by farmers using them to transport equipment etc. up the mountains.
We took one of these cable cars (it had room for about 8 people so it was larger than most) and came up in the valley behind Engelberg. There we started touring. None of us had the light equipment needed to go for a longer trip, but since we are keen skiers (and not mountineers) that wasn’t really what we wanted either. Instead we found a small playground area with pillows, and after 40 minutes of ”skinning” we were at the top of it.
The run down was great and we eventually found ourselves in the middle of a forest with just enough space inbetween the trees and just enough light snow on the ground to get really good skiing. It was so much fun, I’ll definitely go back soon!

The playground area. Cool pillows all the way down.
Good snow inbetween the trees.
See you around!

Back on snow
Today I was back on skis for the first time since May. I joined Mattias to Saas Fee for a few days, and after some bad weather yesterday we were able to go up today. It felt great to ski again although the rock hard ice made my Enforcer ”pist” skies slightly difficult to manage.
Great weather, great place and the best company. What more is there to wish for?
Now I’ve waived good bye to Mattias and Saas Fee for this time but I plan on being back soon again:)

A happy end of season
I haven’t had time to update the blog since I got home from Gränsen as I’ve had a busy working week in Engelberg, but now it’s time. We had a really good week up there with nice slush skiing, many friends and a great party at the end. Of course the party was something special since I could celebrate my first victory in SBMC. I was so happy! Mattias was in the lead after two extraordinary runs but crashed in the final one and therefore missed the podium. It would have been really cool if both of us had won, but another year maybe 
When we got back to Engelberg I jumped right into work as we had a full house in the hotel over the weekend. I got to practice my cooking skills with chef Linus, while Mattias was doing the dishes. Good setup, might bring him in some other time as well as he was really devoted to his task!
