Falkertsee, Austria Sep 15, 2008

Hello everybody! …long time no fresh lines in here

A busy summer at my home, Mt Falkert is done. I was running our Alpine Restaurant - a lot of work but fun!
Beside that I was trying to keep my body in shape and spend lots of time with trail running, biking and for sure hunting.

Since June I got now support by ALTIS SportsMedicine, a sports medical center in Althofen – Carinthia. After back problems thru the hole last year I tried to find the best place to get in shape for the upcoming season and I found it! I am working out with my physio Mario Karbon up to three times a week. I really would like to say thank you to Mr. Doz.Dr. Lajtai and the ALTIS team, boys - Mario, Uwe and Koppe you are the best and make the work out so much fun!!! 

                                          



As well let me present one of my new sponsors and I am very glad to be in the team!

As a pro rider  and guide I try to prevent as much risk as possible  to be back safe home from every  day out. The ABS AVALANCH AIRBAG SYSTEN cannot prevent an avalanch but can protect you from being buried in the avalanch. This system supports us to make it a little bit safer.  I can just recommend this backpack highly to everyone how spent time off pist! For further information please check the ABS website!


                             




The Grand Targhee, WY USA Feb 22, 2008

HEY everybody from the Grand Targhee back country in Wyoming USA!




I have been here now for one week and we worked on my Nike ACG sweetspot with the boys from Level1 film productions.
After some very lame days at the beginning of the trip, because my luggage arrived 3 days late, we got now 6 days of blue bird. The snow was "okay" and we got much fun riding our sleds to find the perfect locations, and we did!



in the background Jamie Pierre's World Record Cliff 90 m , SICK SICK!


I am super stocked that my sweetspot finally turned perfect and I enjoyed it to be out there with super strong riders like Tanner Rainville, Wiley Miller, Steel Spence ect., Hell Yeah!!!
Cheek out the sweetspot and my part in the new Level 1 movie.
Tomorrow I will be back on my way home and leave the great and beautiful Teton Valley.

Riksgränsen, Sweden April 14, 2007

Sorry for the late update of my news section but I am still on the road.
I have been up here in Scandinavia now for two weeks and it seems like the weather god is again not very friendly with us...
First I have been to the Arctix competition in Norway and in 10 days we got more or less two "ridabel" days... The organizers (thx for the great time!) tried to do what they can! At least on the last day we got a competion, cause of the bad weather they have to choose a face at the very bottom of the mountain.... After two runs in the trees I did the 7th place, for deatails please contact me ;-)
On this place lots of greetz to my friend Jon Örabäck, which got hurt very badly during a "free" riding session it the trees.
Dude u will rock soon!!!

Now I am in Riskgränsen/Sweden for filming with Sverre Lillequist for our Nike ACG Sweet Spot, but weather still sucks, now it is raining since two days... yeah, thats how it is, we will see.
From the 21st to 29th of April I am going to take part at a boattrip through the fjords of Norway with Sverre and Kaj Zackrisson, I am super stocked to be with them, and I looking forward to have some very nice moments! YYYYYEEEAAHHHHHRRR

                           
Jon and me                                                                      Phil Maier, Flo Örley, me and Geraldine Fasnacht

Falkertsee Jan 28, 2007

After weeks of depressed sitting at home and waiting for snow winter is on now, so let the energy flow!
I just got back home to carinthia last night from the Red Bull Tribalquest in Nendaz/CH.
So now, sitting on my desk, with a beautiful view on the snow covered Nocky Mountains I find some time to report what happen and what will happen in the upcoming weeks.
I am happy, after canceling Engadin Snow Contest, I went last week to my fist competition this winter to the O'neill Freeride Quest in Schruns/AUT, witch is the qualification for the Freeride Quest in Flain. These 2 stops are part of the Nissan Freeride Tour, witch ends up with the legendary Verbier Xtreme in March.
The snow conditions in Schruns were poor last week,  but the contest was on, and everyone was motivated for sure!
After raining on the day before to 3000m and a clear night, conditons were a kind of tricky ;-)
At the morning session riders become selected for the finals in the afternoon, let me say there were some very strong riders at the stage.
With sun the snow becomes better in the afternoon, we started to hike up to the top of the Hochjoch, the final face.
I was real focused and relaxed that day so I selected a quite fluid line and just try to have fun, yeeaahh and it worx, it was fun shreddin' down with these hard conditions. So I did the third place and got the ticket to Flain 8.-9. Feb., I am so happy to start the first competition like this, after my knee injury last Feb. So let me say I am BACK, stronger and faster than before !!!!

   

Directly from Schruns  I went on with my buddy and mentor Flo Örley to the Red Bull Tribalquest, witch is the first edition of an invitational photocompetion organised by Snowboarder and Nendaz local Alex Coudray. We were split up in team of three, one Snowboarder, one Skier and one Photographer. After two days of bad weather we did some epic shoots on thursday and friday. 
We didn't win, but we got some perfect shoots in the pocket and go back home with a smile in the face after days with friends and fun on the mountain. Thats what it is all about, and for me the Tribalquest is just the perfect concept of a freeride competion, for sure!!! cheers to Red Bull and Alex, go on with it!!!
Our team: Flo Örley - Snowboard, Flo Köfer - Ski and the upcoming Star-Photographer Fanz Gerdl or in frensh Francoir Gérdéll

  

   

So, what's the plan:
Next week: some shootings and I got a Job as Stuntman!!! for a Hollywood production ;-)
5.- 6. Feb ISPO munich
9.-11. Feb. Qualification for Verbier xtreme in Flain
Filming with Seppi Dabringer for Cordova Radio
23.2.-11.3. hopefully going to Russia for filming with the Nike ACG Team

so long,

I am soo happy to be back again!

ride on. flo
