Signs of bear!
Season's soon over
Hi there!!!
No the season is really coming to an end... the Whistler mountain is closed and Backcomb is "open" although someone made biking paths in the snow on the mountain. Looks like pisten bullies-wide serpentine roads everywhere... The Telus festival is over after two weeks of March invasion by people and a lot of work. Now everything just feels empty. Some locals and seasoners still hanging around in the bars and cafés, and bears are now waking up out there. Better be careful now... I was waiting for the bus two days ago when a bear who just woke up from its winter sleep appearing a bit hungry showed up. He more or less walked through the steel door in to a garbage room and eat some things in there. Later in the evening when we dared to move closer we saw that he had damaged the door and that he had left traces of his feet everywhere on the door (see photos!)
We have seen SUNSHINE for two whole days, unbeleiveable! So now we are hoping for just another day of sun, we have only one week to go so now is the time. Hope to see a bear or two as well but hopefully on a safe distance. I'll write soon again, bye.....

My winter
This winter started off really great, snow early, good positions in competitions, lots of new tricks and many trips.
I've met lots of new people and really had fun.

It's also been great to use the Nocopy wear and some other "cool" sponsor gear.
Everything has been perfect in other words!
When everything was really going great of course that thing happened which should not happen, I injured my knee.
Many weeks of resting and no skiing.
Many weeks of resting and no skiing.
That feeling I got the first day I could stand on my skis again, not jump, not going fast but still being with my skiing friends again was really great.
When there is no pressure being the number one, just some soft riding... it's really a great feeling and everything always goes better when there is no pressure.
I finished the season yesterday by travelling to the Åre in Sweden over the weekend to get some real skiing again. Now I've got the whole summer to recover again, maybe I'll go for some summer skiing and of course water jumping down in Orsa!!:)

Some great photos
Whistler - the continuation
Life goes on in Whistler.... soon the Tellus festival starts, one of the worlds´biggest outdoor and free festivals. People have started to come in and the atmosphere and the expectations are increasing dy by day. Checked out the qualifying for the festival, this will most certainly be a competition worth attending. But one thing's missing... the SUN... where is the thing?! it'g incredible, I've never been to a less sunny place than this, except for Sweden last summer =)... hoping for improvment in the end of my stay here how my memories from here will probably be sunny.... maybe!!
If you're dying to know about my back I can tell you it's OK, have been doing some soft skiing.... but can't wait to start jumping again... Have to focus on summer skiing in Folgefonna or the water jumping in Orsa, Sweden;) will take some more photos tomorrow evening so you can follow the Whistler Tellus festival.....
