Thanks, Pokkis

Nice videoclip, relaxed. I like this slope a lot, some steep, icy and flat groomed and a lot of space to (EC)carve.

Greets, Hans.

Thats my lazy style due no muscles available

Slope is nice, little bit like LeCol at Zinal, just slightly shorter but wider.
One correction, there were no icy parts, more vice versa ie it was partially too soft. Unfortunately most of filming was done in afternoon so slopes were not so well groomed condition anymore in pics

Usually they groome everything very nicely for next day.

The main drama with pokkis life, is that he gets to ride as much as 5 times at least as we, normal mortals do.
I can only hope that I'll be as lucky to have the same knees and legs as today when I grow older, and then ride as much as him (or Harald ..).

No wonder why they tend to have a clean style, they train almost 100 days a year hehe!

Great shots with the Sunset ( or was it dawn?)!

We dont train, we are just having fun and having relaxed surfing down slopes

Seriously, i used to ride quite alot in several years ago, 120+ days but much less nowadays, 50-80

I have increased quality of riding and decreased quantity

but i must admit that last weekend we were beating that small slope like

weather was so great, slope was so good condition, i had new board and i felt myself almost like your age, Nils

Actually it was noon and my inability to take good pictures

. I set white balance according to snow in shadows and this caused this yellow cast on sunlight. I tried to correct pics later, but all the adjustments seemed to make it worse, so I leaved them as they are. Anyway, I look more for style than wrong color (looks don't count for machos

)

Great Pics!!

Now I think I have to buy a digital camera and take some pictures from our local slopes. Fortunately, it is like Nils says, excellent conditions for going out in the evenings or weekends for training or having fun or what you will name it. It takes 15 minutes by car from my home to a good slope, 1400 m and abt 300 m vertical drop and 35 minutes to another great slope even steeper and a little longer too. The only little problem we have is to fight for space (and our lives) with kamikaze skiers. Hopefully, I can show some pictures before the season ends.
