Think its time to send a new update.

 

I have skied some competitions here in Norway. Actually they all went bad for me. Did some stupid falls, and my shoulder popped out, so I could`nt ski the rest of the lines. But is one competition I want to say something about, its Røldal Freeride Challenge. Røldal Freeride Challenge was my first Freeride competition back in 2004, I was 16 years old. It was Per Mundhjeld who I looked up to as a skier who got me to the freeride comp. I was to young to compete, so I had to talk to the head-chief of the comp Bettina Gavoll Hansen. She was very hot, so I didnt find any words to say, so Per talked me in. After a while I got a "yes" from Bettina, and my ski carrier started. I did okey in the comp, almost to the finals. But it was enough to impress some sponsors. And my friend Per won the hole comp. Thats a moment I will remember for the rest of my life, it was a big thing for me. In 2011 it was Freeride World Tour in Røldal, where my good friend Dennis Risvoll won. Røldal Freeride Challenge is the biggest, toughest, scaryest competition in Norway. Only the best skiers in norway come there. And this year it was a blast, but the competition day started with some drama. The helicopter with some safty crew crashed not far away from the comp-face. Me and some other skiers skied down to the crash scene. And it looked very bad, so I prepared my self for the worst scenario, here is dead people. But one after one climbed out from the helicopter by them self. They all survived, it was only a cut in a finger, and a nose bleeding. They where very lucky. And then Røldal Freeride Challenge 2013 started. It was many good lines, but moust of the riders fell. The snow was very slushy, maybe too slushy, so it was meny tomahawks that day. I started almost last, and I went for a big cliff with some scetchy exit and landing, but it was a show for the 2-3000 spectators.

A little update.

 

Some weeks has past, and I have got my first pair of Rossignols! My first day of skiing with Rossignol was at the season opening at Hemsedal resort. The snow was good in the morning, but true the day it got little soft. I skied with Squad all day long. The ski are so big, but so playfull that I got in love with it the first turn. Its my kind of skis, and I cant wait to get into bigger lines and shred the mountain. I think it is the best ski I have ever skied on, it felt like where ment to be. The Sickle ski was not touching snow that day, but it will!

 

Sadly there is no snow here in Sogndal yet. Some resorts here in Norway are open, but its to far away to ski just for a weekend, and its not so much snow, and I have some exams at the school. But am praying my butt of to the higher gods to send me some snow. The mountains here have snow, but its ice hard, so we need more. Now its december and Christmas-day with no snow is not good!

 

Me and some good friends are planing to travel the Alps in January. We will stay there for 14 days, where we stay in the Alps is based on the snow. I like Austria and Zillertal, and hope to stay there.

 

Some more pics and videos will come, when the snow is here. Gopro Hero 3 is in the haus, so am ready.

 

Have added two pics, one pic is the first day a got squads, and the next pic is from Hemsedal, is not good pictures, but its just a update:)

 

Best regards Ola Reidar Nyrnes.
