When GM was done I finally had some time to go check out my home town. Its always fun to come home and check out the city. It is constantly growing and changing – new roads and entirely new neighborhoods and been build since the last time I have here 2 and a half years ago. Exciting!

Here is some random shots from around town (no photos from any of the new buildings)

… Then Martins birthday came up… so we baked a cake and partied!

Aight, Im tired of backtracking and I am ready to start blogging again, so thats it for now.

oh, and I live with these lazy dudes.

Martin & Lasse

The weather has been super unstable being either super good or super crap since easter – no more skiing in this year.

Myself, I´ve spend the last 2 weeks working out 2 times a day and I had my first skate session on the year yesterdays in 8 degrees Celsius – some greenlandic dude skated with no shirt on, thats hardcore.

Stay tuned for some hot blogging action.

Hey yo!

Okay, so the blog kinda died after I left the US – whoops, that wasnt supposed to happen – but since it did I will have to write one of those long ass posts that feels like homework. Here we go.

First things first, when I arrived in Denmark I got picked up by some family I hadnt seen in a long time so it felt really good to catch up, sleep in and hang out with everyone.

After a couple of heavily jet-lagged days in Denmark I jumped on a plane from Copenhagen to Kangerlussuaq. Kangerlussuaq is always the first place you land when coming in from outside Greenland. Its a short 4 hour flight but I had to pay 1700 dkk to bring my skis with me, my screen was broken, the service onboard wasnt anything to write home about AND I got a nosebleed, so as you can probably imagine, I wasnt very psyched about Air Greenland. haha.

I didnt get a picture of either the cabin crew or my nosebleed, so you are going to have to settle with this shot of my broken screen.

After 3 hours at the Kangerlussuaq airport – which is an old American military base from WW2 – I got on my next flight, going home to Nuuk!

Nuuk is located at the beginning of the biggest fjord-system in the world, so coming in by plane is always crazy beautiful and it really made me feel like coming home!

Straight after coming home I spend 8-10 hours a day on the local ski hill. I didnt ski, I just hung out and helped with organizing and judging The Greenlandic Freeski and Snowboard Championships. Even thought we ran into a few problems the competition was a great success with over 50 competitors boys and girls at the age of 9 to 28, from 4-5 different towns, and the level and attitude especially from the younger guys was awesome to see.

The buttom part of the slopestyle course.

The Course consisted of a:

small jump

down-rail

down-flat-down box

down box

flat box or flat-down box

Fun little course on a slope that was a bit too steep and everything was hand- shaped/build, but it worked out good!

You can find results and other stuff  @ http://snowball.gl/

I know it wasnt much but that was my easter-break, and thats it for today – more to come tomorrow.

I got on my flight and sat there for about an hour… then it got cancelled.

We got off and I was told I was rebooked for at flight tomorrow. So now I had to go out, get my bags, my back was killing me, find a shuttle and the hotel for which they gave me a voucher AND they couldnt rebook my Geneva – Copenhagen flight so the money I spend on that flight was straight out the window! I got pissed (and sad).

Then somehow the nice lady behind the counter found me a flight. Now I´m flying Denver – Franfurt, Frankfurt – Copenhagen. My bags got checked in all the way , I didnt have to pay for my overweight and I only arrive in Copenhagen a couple of hours late – everything is good again!

A lot of the things that has happened over the past 2 weeks is one of the craziest emotional roller coasters I have ever experienced! Holy f*ck.

Im back at Denver Airport for 4th time this year and for the last time of this season. During the next 24 hours I will go through Canada, Switzerland and end up in Denmark.

On Wednesday Ill head home to Greenland for first time in 2 years and 3 months. I cant wait to head back to my roots and talk to people about the old days instead of skiing and everything that comes with it. My guess is its going to be really nice to lean back and relax, but it will also make me really want to go skiing as soon as im ready to do that again – taking breaks must be some of the best motivation in the world.

I just eat Ben & Jerry´s ice cream, im listening to the new Gorillaz album and my back is doing fine this far. I hope it holds up for my long trip to Denmark.

Yesterday wasnt a super good day for me.

I got up and took a couple of runs through the triple jump-line in Freeway – the big park here in breck. It started out good with the stock 5´s, 7´s and some backflips! Till yesterday I hadnt done any backflips since april last year when I undershot a double back and scorpioned really bad, so it felt good to do some backflips again… From there on it went downhill.

First off I got my pass confiscated, so I had to hike back up to the park. Then I chilled out and watched while Dennis tried to double his sw 10´s. He ended up doing sw wouble/dub´ish 9 – he is gonna have the dub in no time. awesome!

After spending an hour or two considering if I should go down the mountain and drink green beer till I´d pass out (yesterday was st. patricks day) I decided to get a shot on something that wouldnt take an hour to hike. I figured I might as well get a misty 4 off of one of the rails. So I speed checked 2 times, hucked the flip twice and stomped it on my second try. AND THEN I went up again to do one more time, just to go bigger and stomp harder… and then this happend

I chipped a couple of vertebras in a way that hurts really bad but fortunately didnt cause any instability in my back. My back should be okay and ill be back skiing in a few weeks and be at a 100% in 4-6 weeks.

Im having a hard time finding enough time in the day for blog-updating!

We are skiing and having a ton of fun. Today was one of the first days with good enough weather for filming, so we did just that. We all got a couple of shots, and I finally feel really excited about making a good video part – cant wait to get out there again tomorrow!

Here is some photos from the last couple of days – cus pictures say like a lot of word or something…

By the way; the crew now consists of Michael Damgaard, Dennis Hannesbo, Klaus Elmer and Yours truly (and Maya Dennis´ girlfriend and we have Sofie coming tonight)

Note: Dole makes the best juice in the WORLD. Yes, Dennis grew 30 cm over night. We had to teach Klaus how to shave.  Michael eats Ben & Jerry´s Half baked every single day and he has very sexy hair. If you want to look like a dork on the hill, buy one of those butt protectors that that one girl has.

A special shout-out goes out to Surefoot at Keystone for giving me a great deal on my new custom insoles! Awesome.
