Heavy unusual snowfall in my hometown!

Here are some pictures from the period 10. January 2015-18. January 2015 taken by me of friends having fun with the great snowconditions we got here in my hometown. It is not usual we get this much snow at once, and at least not in early January. I've never experienced skiingconditions this good here as i can remember, and for so many days. So this can be the start of a great winter up here in Bøverdalen and Jotunheimen! And if this continues the spring skiing is going to be even better!

In the 10 consecutive days we skied here I was never more than 4-5 kilometers from my house when skiing. There are no lifts, so all the skiing comes from good old walking to the top :-)

Åsmund Galde grew up on one of the two farms closest in the picture, so this is real local powder skiing!
You can also see both the houses i grew up in, plus the house I live in now in the picture!

I was sitting at school all day looking at the heavy snowfall through the windows. This meant a afternoon trip up the valley was necessary! Here is a edit from that trip.

Rough cut Season 12/13 start to end Recap GoPro edit

Here is a rough cutted season 12/13 GoPro edit i made quicly yesterday. It's not the best of editing quality, but it at least shows a little skiing from last season. It's edited from start of season to end, so you can see a little how the skiing was troughout the season. The photo at the end is taken by Sverre Hjørnevik (www.sverrehjornevik.com) a couple of years ago in Myrkdalen, Voss.

Really looking forward to the upcoming season! I'm writing my bachelors degree this winter, so I hope I have a lot of time to go skiing as well. Alredy tried to start the season on Tuesday on Sognefjellet with Gaute Ringstad Holte, but we got some shitty weather and had to turn around. At least we got to walk a couple of hours with our skis on. oping on better luck next time I go skiing.


Røldal Freeride Challenge run

This is my finals run in Røldal Freeride Challenge. Had a good run, but unfortunately loosing my ski on the last landing. Skied out of it clean (!!), but the rules state that if essential gear is lost (skis) it is automaticly a no score. So i didn't get a score on the run, but i'm happy about the run anyways. It atleast was a great crowd pleaser! 
Ended up in 3. place in the Norwegian Freeride Cup with competing in 3 of 4, and only getting a score in two of them. Beaten by two local buddys of mine, Dennis Risvoll and Øystein Aasheim. Congrats boys! I won Sogndal Freeride and placed a little further back in Sauda Backcountry Challenge (45 points). I didn't wear my GoPro in Sauda, so I have no footage of that. Did a not so great qualifyer there, but I managed to do a good finals run that boosted me a little up from quali.
