Sogndal Freeride was last weekend. We started early Friday morning. The qualification run went pretty well until the last drop. The trees on the exit were standing denser than I thought. So I had some trouble on my exit, and had a little fall in the landing. I was on second place before the final day. The final day I charged hard at the top, and it went well. But after my big drop I was turning hard to lose some speed, and then accidentally crossed my skis. I probably lost the victory in that mistake. Then I got too far down after the fall, and lost the rest of my line. I got second place after the two days. Considering my two far from perfect runs it’s a good result.
On Sunday everyone was leaving Sogndal, but I decided to stay here for some more days. And I definitively don’t regret that. We had good skiing on both Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday became a resting day after a good concert with Kings of Lien (yes, Lien) on Tuesday night. Last night we got some more snow here, so I think tomorrow is going to be a good day skiing. Probably the whole weekend here in Sogndal will be awesome. It is really a nice place to be, so I’m actually considering studying here from this fall.
Next freeride competition up is Voss Freeride in two and a half weeks. I am really looking forward to that as well. Next up is maybe Alperittet this weekend, a timed race down a mountain. Ski yah!
