Today Laax was open for the last day of the “winter”… well, regarding freeriding possibly the worse winter I ever had…
instead of skiing I was of course writing my thesis and then I went for a walk… This is where I’m at home…

Changing air – from MSc to Alaska face in Laax

Bérna — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 15:38:29 +0000

Well today I totally had enough of writhing my thesis so I decided to go Freeriding. 8.00 meeting at Piazza ant up to the Vorab where we “woke up” the lifty to turn the lift on after a cool run at Vorab Ost we decided that the Alaska face would be a good target… it was. After some difficulty getting into the face (the entering culoir was too dangerous an we took tiny passage probable 40-45° with many rocks but much stabler snow) we could enjoy the super face with huge turns after the ride a long walk with some river crossing in super spring feeling took us back to Grauberg… Thanks Guys and see you next time :)

FIS Worldcup finals in Lenzerheide

Bérna — Sun, 27 Mar 2011 18:37:48 +0000

Soo, winter is almost gone… (Did it ever arive!?) and this year the worldcup finals are in Lenzerheide again. After a great downhill race on wednesday (won by my favourite Julia Mancuso and where Cuche won the snall globe) the weather got worse. Saturday we decided to go watch the mens slalom (the women s GS got cancelled.).
Lets say that it was more a listening than a watchin since the fog was soo thick that we could see just the last 4-5 gates…
On the other hand it was super to see al the best slalom skiers passing just by us during recognition for the second run. And even better was after the race as all the racer (even thos from the othe disciplines since it was the last race of the season) passed by and sayd hello and took pictures… And guess what?? I got the best one…
