I’ve spent two weeks skiing in Norway. First week I was in Romsdalen and Sunnmöre with photographer Fredrik Schenholm, journalist Rikard Andreasson, skiers Tormod Granheim, Gunhild Harman and Fredrik Helgesson. We skied on Dalsnibba, Grötet and Kvitegga and went kajaking on the Geiranger fjord.
Second week I was in Hurrungane with Jörgen Aamot and Erlend Sande. We were lucky with the weather and got three very nice ski descents: Procter Ullens Vei on Dyrhaugstind, Styggedalstind to Styggedalsbotn and East Couloir on Vetle Midtmaradalstind. As far as we know no one has skied the East Couloir before.

I’m just back in Chamonix after a fantastic trip to Iceland with photographer Fredrik Schenholm, skiers Tormod Granheim and Martin Hesse. The nature in Iceland is some of the most amazing I’ve ever seen. Photos and story will be published in various ski magazines next year. I will keep you posted when it gets published.

Tibetans killed in their capital Lhasa after demonstrations against Chinas rule over Tibet. About 10-80 Tibetans (depending on who you choose to believe) has been killed by Chinese Police during the riots. This is very sad news and unfortunately it seems to be a never ending dispute.

During the last week a crew from my sponsor Osprey have been visiting me in Chamonix. They got to see Chamonix in all possible conditions. Going from rain in the valley and snowstorm up in the mountains to sunny and warm days. The skiing was all from hardpacked to light powder snow.   We have also been testing prototypes for a new skipack that will be out in the Autumn of 2009.

Last week I was in Cervinia with photographer Mikael Pilstrand and Monika Sandnes doing a photoshoot for Swedish travel agency Ving Alpin. Lots of sunshine but not much snow . The lack of snow made it difficult to get nice ski photos but anyway we had a good time in the sun. Check out Ving Alpins website: www.vingalpin.se

In the end of January was the yearly wintersport trade show ISPO in Munich, Germany. I was there helping out my sponsor Osprey at their stand. I also got the opportunity to check out the new gear for next year.
