Tillbaka på Rivieran
Mattias Hargin 22 May 2013, 9:21 am CEST
Kom tillbaka till Monaco runt lunch igår. Är F1 till helgen och
det väntas komma ner mycket bekanta ansikten så kommer nog bli en
riktigt rolig helg. Fram tills dess ska jag försöka ha lite lugna
dagar med några sista träningspass innan man kan ta semester över
helgen… Lite bilder från inflygningen igår

As Matt says, “some seasons are longer than others.” While this season might not have been the ‘biggest or longest’ here in the tetons, Matt took advantage of some premium powder days in April. Some pretty solid footage, if I do say so myself.

In today’s brew: Smith doing big things with the Sarah Burke Foundation, Aurelien Ducroz heli-skiing in Norway, skiing the Skillet on Mount Moran and more…
The good folks at Smith Optics have been able to donate $26,000 to the Sarah Burke Foundation. Smith created a special edition Sarah Burke Foundation I/OS goggle and sold them out, with $26,000 of proceeds going to the foundation. Good on you, Smith!
Skiing the Skillet on Mt. Moran | Coach Joel Bettner and some of the CUFST posse had quite the mission on Mt. Moran in Grand Teton National Park. This is a signature line in the Tetons that offers up over 5k vert of continuous skiing to Jackson Lake in good snow conditions. These guys encountered rain, snow, whitecaps on the lake and lots of bushwhacking. But they got it done. Nice work boys! Read more on Joel Bettner’s blog and check out the video below:

Bali!
Jacob Wester 21 May 2013, 7:54 am CEST
Greetings from the island of gods! After a solid 50 hour door to door journey we finally made it Bali on sunday, completely exhausted since we didn’t get much sleep on the trip (especially me, being over 6 foot in tiny Air China seats). After spending a night in Bangkok the last Air Asia flight down to Bali went quick and stepping off the plane felt like being home. This island, no matter how exploited and over-populated, has a special place in my heart and I will revisit it many times through my life. The surf has been pretty small the last two days, so we have spent most of our time sleeping off the jetlag, getting a basetan, and shopping for necessities for our 2 month long journey. Here are some photos from the trip so far:
stepping off our first flight
in Beijing.
jets lining up on the Beijing
runway. it’s not an overcast day, that’s just smog…
some interesting cloud
formations over rain season Bangkok
enjoying the first beer of the
trip (and the first one since my knee injury), in Bangkok.
approaching the island of gods
over a glassy ocean. below the cliff on the southwest tip of the
island is the world famous surf spot Uluwatu.
the view from our hotel room at
Fat Yogi bungalows in Kuta. 4 nights here before heading south.
classic bali tourist breakfast.
omelette, white toast (super healthy, haha), shitty coffee and a
fruit salad.
Sofia going for a morning walk
on the infamous Kuta beach. Still pretty mellow in may, this beach
turns into a hectic tourist mayhem frenzy during high season…
the spot Halfway Kuta with some
nice little sandbar peelers. Great spot for longboarding on a small
swell and rising tide, turns into a neck breaking close-out once
the swell is over 8 foot.
since Air Chinas surfboard
policy is insane (200 USD per board), I decided to treat myself
with a new Indo quiver down here. 3 custom made Flanagan surfboards
waited for me down here in Bali. Been trying out the little
small-wave board on the right, surfs like a dream. Can’t wait for
the swell to go up so I can try the rhino chaser on the left!
Thanks for reading, stay tuned for some surf photos over the next few days, looks like some solid SW swells are in the forecast, starting tonight!

Utegym
Mattias Hargin 20 May 2013, 8:48 pm CEST
Har tyvärr inga bilder, men jag började dagen med lite Korpenfotboll. Signa upp mig för Alpingaragets lag och ska förhoppningsvis hinna med några matcher i sommar. Har dock inga fotbollsprylar i stan, så låna ihop skor och fick spela utan benskydd imorse. Vet inte ifall det är det smartaste draget på korpenfotboll, men vad gör man inte:) Vi vann i alla fall matchen och andra laget Swedbank var lagom griniga när dom lämna plan, härligt. Värt att nämna var väl att matchstart var 06.30.
Körde ett kortare pass med Matilda innan middag, utegym ute i
Bromma.




POV of the Day | Snow Dreams in Baqueira, Spain

Sounds like the Pyrenees went off this season. According to Adria Millan it was the best season in 10 years and their local resort Baqueira picked up over 14 meters of snow. Looks pretty good to us (especially right now!): Skiing with Jordi Tenas, Txema Trull, Adria Perez de Rozas & Adrià Millan

OS Camp, Fysdagar och Ica middag
Mattias Hargin 18 May 2013, 9:17 am CEST
Senaste dagarna har varit intensiva men roliga. Började med när jag kom ner till Stockholm att åka ut till Lillved, Värmdö där vi som sagt hade ett OS Camp infr Sochi. De flesta kommande olympier var samlade och vi hade möten, info och aktiviteter tillsammans. Är framför allt kul att träffa alla andra idrottare, få lite inblick i deras sporter. Sedan åkte jag vidare ut till Bosön där vi på skidförbundet, Alpint igår hade en testdag och medialunch. Jag körde ju för en vecka sedan mina V02max tester, så igår körde jag delar av fysprofilen. Fysprofilen är diverse olika tester som du genomför, som typ benböj, bänk, brutalbänk, chins, 20m sprint, Hares, spänsthopp, coopertest med fler. Du får sedan ett värde mellan 1-10 i de olika grenarna beroende på resultat och du ska där efter kunna jämföra lite mellan olika sporter vad som krävs för att kunna prestera på toppnivå.
Vi avslutade sedan dagen med en sponsoraktivitet med Ica. Där dom hade tagit med 4 av sina kockar som vi hela gänget fick laga middag tillsammans med. Riktigt trevligt och rolig kväll. Tack Ica!
Jag har mest bilder från gårdagskvällen.


Har även hunnit vara på hockey. Vilken match det blev mot Kanada,
sjukt spännande med straffar.


Gårdagen lokal vi var i, riktigt coola
Bränning av röding

Egen lammkorv
Grillning av de mesta


Rökt lax och grillat lamm.
Den grupp jag var med i stod för förrätten och gjorde en Tataki.
Förutom den tidigare nämnda röding så använde vi även denna biff
som vi grillar snabbt på alla sidor på hög värme och sedan lät
ligga och marineras under 1,5h innan den skars upp.
Resultatet blev detta, galet gott!

Skidskvaller #15
Freeride.se - Nyheter 17 May 2013, 4:26 pm CEST
Snön är ett minne blott i nästan hela
landet, men skidskvaller finns det fortfarande gott om. Det råder
byggboom söder om fjällen, skidåkare sysslar med simhopp och
Candide Thovex hintar om en eventuell OS-satsning. Dessutom öppnar
Stryn i förtid, och ännu en åkare har landat en trippelkork.
