Laundry
Not all days are cool and exciting, but I need to get this stuff done. 2 machines done, 2 to go…
Santiago
We’re waiting for our flight to get back to Europe and have half the day in Santiago. So we went to this mall that has a surfing wave. Just to get that straight first; I’m not a very good surfer. Kjetil, Lars and Manny(he left a day later than the rest of the Canadians) had all tried it before, and I hope that helped them a little, cause they were way better than me. But it was lots of fun and a tasty lunch in the sunshine after. On our way through the mall to get to the wave we walked by this shop. Coolest sports shop in the world if you ask me…haha!!
Last day of skiing in Portillo
This is the last day of this camp. After some GS training today we’re packing up our stuff and driving to Santiago. Flight is tomorrow afternoon. Today it’s only the Norwegians skiing. The Canadians left yesterday. It’s been a great camp with lots of good speed training. The GS and SL could have been better, but speed was the main focus on this camp. Lots of skiing, good times with the Canadians and a cool experience being a part of the Miracle Body project. The video under is from when they were filming from the helicopter.[...]
Eyes Wide Open world premiere
The new Field Productions film EYES WIDE OPEN world premiere this Saturday in Oslo. Wish I could be there, but I’m still in Portillo Chile. This photo is from the two days I skied with them in Revelstoke Canada. Two days of filming is very little compared to the guys who do this all winter, but I’m still excited to see what it looks like after Filip and his crew has finished editing.

Miracle body heli filming
Today the Miracle Body crew brought a heli so they could film everything from the air. The heli was pretty close at some points, and I could feel it flying straight over me.
