Soooo, Hey… Its been a couple of days since the lasts time I was on here… over the course of the last couple of days truly feels like a year!
Right now im sitting in a small apartment in Avoriaz, France. Im here to compete at the Danish Freeski Champoinships which are starting tomorrow night with a Big Air competition.
Inside info: The Big Air has turned into a heads-up RAIL SESSION because they dont have enough snow for a 25 meter jump in downtown Avoriaz… (there is not enough snow in the world to make a 25 meter kicker in the town of Avoriaz).
So heads-up rail session tomorrow… I signed up today, but to be honest I am not sure if I am actually competing. Here is why – I think a heads-up competition on rails are kinda pointless since I feel like the level of riding will have to be brought way down to be safe enough for a heads-up. There is no way you (I) can ever be as safe on rails as on jumps on harder tricks…
Next comp i am entering will be “DM” slopestyle on thursday.
In 3 of the last 4 Danish Champion slopestyle (ever since i started skiing park) i´ve gotten 2nd place at this event. As I have gotten better at park skiing the importance of DM slopestyle as gradually become more insignificant, but this year I really want to win – not the that makes any real difference, I just really WANT TO WIN.
You know what, I actually dont have too high hopes for this one/this year either.
The jumps that were supposed to be 18-22 meters are actually 10 meters, and the park all-around is just crazy. Tons of features and really steap. Its the same for everyone though, so it´ll probably be all good – its just a little disappointing to see the park here when everything you hear is that it is really good. I dont think it is, sorry.
Ill upload a POV form the park tomorrow, so you can see what the park looks like…
till then

Today, just after writing my last post I was told that we had to move to an other room. It took a while to move all our stuff and when I finally got ready to go skiing it was around 11 o´clock – way later then I had planned for.
the following happened between 11.10 and 11.15

The busses go every half an hour, but at the point where I missed the buss I was too over it to go skiing + I got a pretty important phone call just after getting back to the room.
I was gonna make a “day in the life/day on the hill” video by myself, but unfortunately that is gonna have to wait.
Today has been all about hanging out in bed trying to stay entertained and eating pizza. YES
Last day of skiing tomorrow before going back over the atlantic on tuesday morning. Weather is supposed to be good – I cant wait!
Weather has been kinda weird the last couple of days and it has been kinda hard to ski to the level which I have been hoping to ski at by now.
After overshooting and undershooting jumps, and crashing in the lift-line (!) yesterday I decided to take the day off today, even though I did put my ski boots on and everything before taking the final decision.
Around noon Marius picked me up to go working. First we picked up some of the other guys in Breck, then worked out and then had some fun with the GoPro camera at the pool AND in the showers (wiit-wiiuu!)
I was about to upload some pictures, but then I decided not to! mohohohaha! Dont know if the GoPro footage is ever gonna surface either..?
Later,
Lazy-ass HJ
PS: this all happend yesterday
