The other night a huge avalanche went down the Geissberg. It was selftriggered and more than 8 meters in of snow was piled up in the bottom.. Here are some pictures from yesterday..

Trees was cut down by the hard wind from the avy..

This is Geissberg in between Laub on the right,
and Galti on the left.

There was also triggered a huge avy in Laub.
This was for safety reasons..

Well, take care in the mountains folks..

Fuck, its too much snow.. Basketball memories.

2009-03-09T06:15:00.000-07:00

Well. its almost true.. Saturday was almost to deep.. Or it wasnt steep enough.
And now its snowing again. I aint had time to take any photos, its been to deep..

Lately I have thought alot about when I used to play basketball. And I really miss it alot.. So I have found a few old pictures, and articles on the web. Its fun to think back. Too bad we didnt have internett back in the early days, when I played on Bjørnegård BBC. We played tournaments in Denmark, Sweden, Spain, we went to the states for 3 weeks, we had so much fun. AND, we where acctually pretty good.. Morten Karr, if you read this.. DAMN we had some good times in Combihallen, and outside in the summer using the car to light up the playground so we could play all night long.. Those where the days..

Automatic......... and Patrik Sandstrøm..

I am not sure why all these good memories come up in times like this. Having the best snow conditions ever. And skiing pow almost every day.. But, I guess basketball has been the biggest part of my life. And I really really miss it....

I guess my last season, got injured.I am far left nr.13..

Winning the Norwegian champs, in 2002...

Happy times!!

Adding a link from a nice article from back in the days:
(sorry, most of it in norwegian)

Aftenposten

Old national team stuff from 1998

Well, next time I will come up with some snowy pics..

Until then.. EvenO

Well, not my words, but a English tourist that had no clue.. He wanted to
ski with the boys and told us we probably did not have to
wait for him much.. Well, me and Henrik started the 2200
vertical meters straightlining.. And thats all we seen of him that day...

I am gonna post a few headcam shots from yesterday..
Nothing spectacular, but I am playing around with it a bit..

My homerun down from Titlis side

Art, Tartiflette and Powder...

2009-02-10T02:56:00.001-08:00

Updated!!

Time for a little update. Its been dumping and we have had some siiiiick skiing the last days. No sick skiing pics, no sick skiing caught on tape.. Only my brilliant Ericsson phone doing its job..

First of all Tartiflette with my buddys Fab-Fabio
and Patrick "le baguette"...

Food is important, but you also need some "cultural food" as well.
So we headed down to Stans(15mins down the road from Eberg)
and had a few beers at a local concert-artsy-loced-out joint.

???????

The day after the sweet concert we headed down to
Luzern for some window shopping..

Le Baguette thaught this new skateboard "deck"
was quite describing for himself...

Shoveling snow swizz-style. A pretty original dude.....

And then the most stupid statements so far this
season.. Oh, yeah its my voice.....

"Like its my best run ever without seeing... "

Ps. Check Jussi crashing in the background!!

Back to normal...

2009-02-05T14:31:00.000-08:00

So I am back in Engelberg. Nice little studio that I share with Le Baguette.. Its nice to not travel for a little while, have some good food and get fit again. I went by my buddy Mattis in Zurich, and he is a first class chef, gooooooood shit;)

In Zurich I had a little screening of our South-America trip this last summer, on Mattis` wall.

Mattis also has a LP player, not everyday you
get to spin some records. But I quite like it..

Old records, good food, good people... And now,
hopefully some more greaaat skiing.

Its supposed to dump this weekend, keeping
my fingers crossed;)

EvenO
