Around the world

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 […]

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.

Today we decided to go watch the men’s downhill worldcup in Wengen, was very cool, although we got there just in time… as usual

Today Pädi and I decided to enjoy the super weather of this year’s end and to take our ski classes to grill in the woods. After looking for some wood and grill sticks we found a super place, lit the fire and grilled our sausages.

Really beautiful and still inhabited with (yes) real nones, this site has been listed because it is in (re)construction since the 7th century! After this refreshing visit, we thought that driving the famous […]
