Keystone to Aspen


My drive from Keystone over to Aspen today was everything else than fun.....it was only snowing a lil bit in Keystone when I left but once I got closer to Copper Mountain the Highway started to look like a mountain road.....
Check out the pics and you will see what I mean....
I also got a new tatoo on my wrist last Monday so i felt like I should prolly post a photo of that too;-)

First X-Games trainings are on tomorrow, I'm excited and will let ya all know more about that tomorrow night!


It was sunny when I got closer to Aspen.....


I'm glad I wasn't going East today......


Doesn't really look like a highway hmm......


Awesome......


My new tatoo....;-)

Dew Tour and Utah


I just got back to Colorado and I'm quite happy about that;-)

Don't get me wrong, I like Utah but everything is kinda weird...especially in Ogden the town we were staying in! Check out the pics further down and you will see yourself...;-)

The pipe in Snowbasin was sweet, I absolutely loved it! Unfortunately I got cut off by one place and didn't qualify for finals. My first run was really not my best skiing, super scetch but at least I landed....my 2nd run was sooooo much better, everything worked out till I got to my 2nd last trick a right 540 where I fell (don't ask me what I did, I usually don't fall on right 5's!)
I was really bummed cause I really wanted to make finals but hey that's the game! I'll focus on X-Games now which will start in a week already! The ladies were skiing really well and put a great show down, I'm super stoked about that! X-Games will even be better!!!



Biggest american flag I have ever seen.....


Open 24h but closed on Sunday....hmmm....hahaha;-)


Those cereals look delicious.....NOT!


Talk soon,

Happy New Year and so on....



Happy new year to everyone, I know it's a lil late but better late than never;-)
My Christmas was great, I went back home to Switzerland for 8 days to see my parents and eat some good Swiss food hmmmm...(just thinking about it makes me hungry)

I got back out to CO on the 1st of January and honestly the flight over here wasn't too much fun at all. I flew trough Amsterdam and then with Northwest Airlines to Minneapolis. So basically all I had in mind was that tempted terror attack on Christmas day. Security checks weren't even that much different and that is what freaked me out. I looked at all the people boarding, just checking them out, trying to figure out whether they are harmless or not and this behaviour kinda continued trough the whole flight.....! I think everyone did that though but yeah I defenitely have had more relaxed flights in my life;-)
I made it though and that is what counts;-)

I skied 3 days in a row now and tomorrow I'm gonna take a day off. Breck's Pipe is awesome and Keystone's park sick so I'm in paradise!




Ice skating in Zurich .... so much fun!!!


Talk to you soon and hope 2010 has started well for ya all!

Keystone/Denver

I was quite busy these last couple of days but today I finally get to answer all my e-mails and post some new pics on my blog...;-)

Our appartement here in Keystone is sick, Elias is staying with Anais and me and it's great living here cause their park is soo much fun! Copper's pipe is real good too (you wouldn't expect something else, they hired the X-Games shaper!!!!), but I definitely prefer to ski Keystone at the moment cause I'm having a way more fun shredding those rails than training hard in that icy 22-foot pipe....;-) (Do I need to explain that?)

I spent the weekend down in the city and had a blast, went skating at Woodward Denver Saturday with Brian and his friends and wooooow......it was soo good to see those guys skating, I really wanna skate more and get better at it! They killed it hard and made Skateboarders look weak!;-)

The Nuggets game was on on Saturday night and they won which made the game even better!!!

Check it out yourself:


Compare this picture to the next one....look how much taller the players are compared to the dancers...;-)





Brian at the game....


Shredding with Andrew, Brian and Casey


One part of the park in Keystone.....


Talk soon,
