After staying with our friends in Serre Chevalier and shredding Vars for some days we turned our mobile home towards european luxary skimecca St. Moritz.
Dolce Gabanna, Luis Vitton, Rolex and all thinkable fancypants-brands had stores all over the place and the rich ladies with furs wraped around their neck seem to be a bigger group than the shredders there.=P
Anyhows, we were on spot to look for some pow and shred two competitions! Me(Erik) in the Engadine World Freeride Qualifier and Sam in the Engadine 4star TTR slopestyle.
We had a sick week with the first close-to-be powder turns of the trip and some fun comps where we both did alright!
I where loosing my line totally from what I thought I would take when watching it from the bottom. First time I got to pick a line from the bottom without walking in the face, freaking hard gotta say!=P But I made my way down dropping some smaller cliffs and not sitting on my ass anything, so I'm happy with my first comp in this way!
Sam where doing a really good qualification throwing some good lines in the slopestyle, but when it came to the finalday the wind was scetching it up making the speed bad for his tricky plans!
I placed 11th out of 29 and Sam 28 out of 50.
Now, check out our edit from St Moritz!=D
Next episode we shred pow near Serre Chevalier with swedish hiphoplegend Petter! Random gotta say!=P Stay tuned!
peace
