Hey Everybody!

It has been a while since my last update… 28 days to be exact, and a lot has happened – but not really.

December was a really bad month for me – A LOT of ups and downs were going on, but I am pretty happy with the darkest month of the year when I look back at it…

here is a quick recap:

I…

only skied 5 days during december and its getting me really stressed.

negotiated my first official sponsorship-contract by myself. At first it got me bummed out, but I learned a lot from it, and now that it is signed – I am super amped on it!

(2 year contract with K2 skis, DaKine, Smith googles, FullTilt boots)

learned a new trick even though I promised myself that I would just play around with grabs and stuff – my new trick is a MISTY 9.

didn´t find much new cool music… but I did get hooked on this old banger for a brief period.

was in denmark for christmas which was cozy. Its definitely not every year Denmark gets a white christmas!

While in Denmark I went to a coach/motivator, which helped me get my focus back – stoked on that!

was in Hemsedal on new years eve, but left on new years day. I was in Hemsedal for about 24 hours. All the powder had already been ridden and the park at Varingskollen is way better then the one at Hemsedal right now.

I have spend the last 3 days at Varingskollen and I have been stressing about getting the last things done before I leave for the US… which I do tomorrow, or should i say later today?

As soon as I hit US ground I will purchase a camera and order a gopro HD camera so I can make some POV edits and some other fun stuff… my flight takes of in 8 hours – cant wait!

See you guys soon, and look out for more updates from now on!

oh, and happy new year!

I skated from home (Frogner) to downtown Oslo today – on november 29th. Never thought I would do that so far into november.

Then I hung out on the 21st floor of the Radisson Hotel for a few hours.

Then me and my dad walked around town for a while and felt the christmas-vibe creeping in on us as we checked out the christmas marked in front of the town hall, and when we could hear people sing carols from 21 floors below us.

While hanging out in the Hotel I pretty much tried my new Orage gear on 50 times with all possible color/model combination possible.

Today was a good day.

When I came home from work today this little fur-ball of a dog jumped me. This is Luna – todays pleasant surprise.

As you can see I changed the sites background. I changed it to give the site a rougher look, and I think it looks pretty cool – what do you think?

I also added a Media page – right over there on the sidebar – so its easier to keep track on some the published stuff with me in it.

PS: Tomorrow my dad visits oslo for the first time since I moved here, AND he is bringing my new outerwear. double awesome.

PPS: video sharing will be on some other day, when I dont have anything “real” to write about.

For some reason I feel like this was a pretty weird weekend, but now that it is all over, I cant seem to gather my thoughts on why it was weird..?

My weekend started with a well received and really unexpected snow shower  in the city. The picture above is taken on my way to meet up with Elin and Gustav on friday night. We ate ice-cream, watched The Brothers Bloom and hung out, it was a good time. The movie was good too.

This is on my way home from Elin´s – there was definitely enough snow to get a urban session if you were willing to put some work in.

Saturday morning most of the snow was gone (and it still is). At work there were very few people in the store, so the day dragged out… After work I met up with Elin again. We walked around and looked at stuff, cooked some food and went to the movies to catch “just another disaster movie” aka 2012… I never had high hopes for this one but Elin was so exited about it, so we went to see it, me, Elin and Ingela… That movie sucks. Everything you need to know about it is that its kinda like, ehm… every other disaster movie, but a little bit worse… Woody Harrelson is in it though which is cool.

After the movie we drank a few beers met up with some friends and talked, then I went home early… Today I cleaned my room and got bored for the first time in probably a few months.

It was so nice to feel like I had done what I needed to do, throw myself on my newly made bed, relax for a little bit and then actually try to think of something to do instead of having something hanging over your head.

I guess my weekend wasn´t weird at all, but it still feels that way.

music monday on a monday

Over the course of the last week I´ve been listening alot to 2 different bands. 1 band which I have listened to a lot and 1 I listened to a little bit when I first heard about them about 1 year ago, but never stuck with some reason I could´ ve never understood today.

The first band is The Rural Alberta Advantage. After taking a break from listening to this band for a little while, this month it is probably the band I have listened to the most.

Most of the album is good (Hometowns). I like this song the best.

The Rural Alberta Advantage – The Ballad of the RAA

The second band I want to mention in Ra Ra Riot. I remember first hearing about them when I read somewhere they sounded similar to The Arcade Fire whom I´ ve liked ever since Mike Mo´s part in Fully Flared. But when I checked them out their songs kinda didn´t catch on – again, for a reason I really can´t understand. I neven forgot about Ra Ra Riot but I neven gave them a sincere chance till about a week ago. Now I have listened to them nonstop for a week, and I really like 9 out of 10 songs in their The Rhumb Line album…

This song has gotten the most hits over the last week,

Ra Ra Riot – Ghost Under Rocks

… I´ll finish this one off by sharing the song I listened to all morning.

Kurt Vile – Blackberry Song

Oh… Yesterday was fathers day here in Norway, so naturally I hit up my dad (who lives in Greenland), only to find out fathers day in Greenland/Denmark is on July 5th… what a bummer!

Thats all I got right now – All I´m doing is working, working out and hanging out… I don´t know if anyone actually likes these music posts..?

Today I was gonna do 3 things.

write a “top secret” document. Buy new shoes. Buy a new sleeve for my laptop… I didn´t do any of it. And I need to figure out when I´m going back home to Oslo, cus I feel like I´m just wasting my time here in Copenhagen now that I´m done with my meetings…

But I get to hang out with alot of good friends I don´t get to see too often!

Right now me and Mads are hanging out. wohoo.
