Made it to Oslo for christmas
Just landed in Oslo after a crazy day of travelling. Snowing like crazy in Italy. At 4am I had to dig my car out of tons of snow and then I left Paganella at 4.30. The airport in Verona was a chaos. Italian airports are the worst, and snow chaos doesn’t help. But I made it to Munich and there I met the Norwegian ski cross team(that’s former downhill and ski cross athlete Audun Grønvold in the photo) and some of the Europa-Cup guys. The chaos in Munich( one of Europe’s best airports!!) was a walk in the park compared to Verona. I made it to Oslo and now I’m gonna enjoy two quite days of Christmas celebration. Merry Chritmas everyone:)
In the final, but no money...
I made it to the finals. Richard won there and is going home 100000euro richer. I'm happy with my skiing. Got some runs on ice. I need that! Now we're on our way to the Placebo concert.
Alta Badia - Val Gardena drive
Driving from Alta Badia to Val Gardena from aksel svindal on Vimeo.
This is the interview that me and Kjetil did in the car driving from Alta Badia to Val Gardena last week. Due to slow internet I couldn't uploaded it. There's no breaking news, but since some of you have been asking for it I uploaded it now that my internet is normal.
World Alpine Rockfest
Did two runs of slalom today. Haven’t done that in a long time. First run was really good, second run kinda bad, but I’ll take it. With three days of slalom skiing since last season… Me and Kjetil just drove into Pagganella. Ready for the World Alpine Rockfest. Rock concert and an exciting GS race with 100.000 Euro prizemoney..
Alta Badia is tough!
1min20sek x2 gs on ice in Alta Badia is a lot of work. Me and Kjetil are both tired and laying in bed with our legs high. The hill was very icy. Impressive skiing by the italians. Second run i felt ok untill i hit a rock in the last section. Cuche did the same in the first run. My first slalom of the season tomorrow. Wish me luck, i will need it.
