candidate for best day ever!

today was another candidate for the afermentioned title! had a nice sleep in and awoke to full sun streaming in through my window (this doesn't happen much!!). i then ate some breakfast basking in the sun while taking in the glory of the mountains, norwegian brown cheese on toast is like some weird salty caramel! Jonte and I headed up the hill to hit the park, and managed to soar far and high off the biggest kickers. great to feel a little adrenalin flying off the lip!! after night fell we drove up out of the valley to a highland forest and cross country skied through the blue moonlight.. then a sauna and pizza to round things up.... epic!

last night turned out to be candidate for best night ever when we 'borrowed' our neighbours 'kick' (1 2 or 3 person gravity fueled speed machine transport device) so much fun rocketing down the snowy roads at full speed taking corners and getting launched off into peoples front yards!!!! i dont think ive laughed that hard for quite a while!!!!!!











beware of snowlions!!!!!

good times on the mountain

today loom cam went to the park!!! and in response to dane's comment on the last video i decided to go upside-down!

just another fun filled day (loom cam!)

Jonte and I have started to experiment with a custom made pole cam! This is the first solo run from this afternoon, taking a few turns down the Sugar Bowl. it was a beautiful day, with a little bit of fresh pow, and you just couldn't keep the grin off my face!!!

Kyrkjebønosi

This valley floor rests below a ceiling of cloud. quiet and calm chimney smoke hangs without breath to steer it and we are walking free of the treeline. the sea below reals in colour, lapping at the white peaks parting glimpses of the valley floor. sparkling shards cover my flannel, trailing gauper foot prints. canyons follow ravines follow gullies, valleys, ridges to distant frozen plateau. earth takes me high, snow takes me higher.

a pre dawn hike today to the summit of Kyrkjebønosi (1610msl) with Jim and Jonte (thanks for shooting some of this pics jonte!)

for a friend.

sad is the night
that breathes
in deeply
mountains smothered
in sickly gloom

dark raven cries
from heights
unmeasured
a curse is strewn
on one below

a cloak of shadow
follows closely
wandering
lonesome through
dale and dell

a wolf awakens
at deathly summons
the curse
is ringing
in the wind

weight of woe
and sadness
heavy
fate and foe
slay unhindered

a new frozen world
