But of course such good weather is an exception in Japan at this time of the year and we soon turned back to dark clouds and hiking days in the woods... </div>

Japan. First time of my life. And it's amazing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It really is a completely different world over here. Not just the amounts of snow and nature but most of all the small details in everyday life that make you feel the difference.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's hard to describe in words but I guess everyone has got some pictures in mind about these extremly forthcoming and respectful people or the crazy noises and blinking lights with these weird signs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's start with the picture story to give you a brief insight on what's happening right now. These days we are focussed on snowboarding:</div>

Actually we have not been too lucky with the snow so far as everyone told us about something like 25 crazy powder days a month but just since we've arrived it has not snowed that much anymore. Still the amounts of snow are crazy over here and we managed to find good snow almost every day after thinking really hard for some time...</div>

But of course it is not all about snowboarding over here. For example we took part in an "English Night" at the Hilton Hotel Niseko where we were having dinner with a huge group of 17 year old students who wanted to practice their English. They could hardly say more than "Do you have a girlfriend?" but we had a great time together anyways.</div>

After an invitation by Red Bull Brasil for an MTV Brasil TV Show I was really looking forward to spending a whole week at the beach near Sao Paolo and getting to know a new country. At the same time I did not have any clue what was going to expect me over there.<br />
<br />
It turned out the guys from MTV made the impossible happen: Snow in Brasil!<br />

After the big dump in the MTV Beachhouse's garden we decided to move on and scout for some more natural spots on the beach and actually found an interesting sand-bomb-drop at the surfspot.<br />

But it wasn't all about Snowboarding. The whole show is about a crew of several Athletes (Surf, Skateboard, BMX, FMX) and their two hosts who are spending a whole month together in this beachhouse and doing all kinds of random fun shit. Douglas Leite de Oliveira, an amazing BMXer did a crazy backflip at the same spot at the beach.<br />

I've just spent some quality time back home doing a lot of different things! Last wednesday for example Red Bull invited me to come to Nürburgring where the 24 hour race took place. I could join a DTM racing pilot and take a couple of laps with him in his Audi R8!</div>

On the last day I lost my snowboard on the mountain because my snowboard rack broke without me noticing it in time. And I could not find it anywhere. Then at night we went out to some bar in town and had a couple of drinks. Between beer and Jägermeister the barkeeper offered me a snowboard. He found it on the mountain and took it down... So random!</div>

On the last day we still got a fun shot droping off this roof and riding the Mini Quarterpipe. Acutally the whole situation wasn't too much fun but rather very tense as not everyone in town liked us climbing onto this roof. But in the end they tolerated a few tries and everything was good...</div>

Right after this we left town. Our way home felt like a Safari. We spent a couple of hours cruising through Yellow Stone National Park and seeing all this wildlife. It was a truly amazing experience!</div>

Returning in Whistler the next morning at 6 am after another 16 hour drive was a little disappointing: it was raining from valley to the top of the mountain and the weather forecast did not give me any hope... So I made a quick decission to change my flight. The only flight that was affordable was the one leaving the next morning. After a night with no sleep in the car I spent a whole day getting things ready to leave town before finishing the whole trip with an amazing dinner with the crew at Sushi Village in Whistler.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
And we found some good storage to leave both our sleds and the Truck in Whistler. So we are ready to come back to BC or the States for some more sled adventures next year!</div>

After 5 days of spring and no fresh snow in the forecast we were
starting to get anxious and decided to hit the road to find some more
powder. That same day we've rented a trailer and started driving together with our two new friends Jason Robinson and Leland McNamara. </div>

It wasn't long though, till lucky Brian also blew his forth engine of the season that day… One week ago the engine made it 2,5 km till it completely broke down… this time the brand new engine made it 10km further till it blew. So at least a positive trend!</span></div>

After over 2 weeks of snow and clouds we finally got to see the sun for three days in a row! Sunrise in the Backcountry before an unforgettable day on the first of three jumps.</div>

Some last fine tuning on Jump #1<br />

The landing of our jump probably had the seize of an average ski slope in Finland...<br />

We were having a nice session on this one and thanks to the huge landing and Elias shutteling me up with the sled I could ride this jump for 14 times within a couple of hours. I think I have never a hit a single backcountry jump that often!<br />
<br />
And the next day was acutally even better! We hit a jump which is called "the perfect one". And this
is just what it feels like. Smooth take off and perfect landing.<br />

Elias was killing it on this one! Be sure to check out his part in this year's People movie!<br />
<br />
After another epic kicker session the day wasn't over yet but the most fun part was still to come. With the last light of the day we were shutteling each other up to some short but perfect natural lines.<br />
This is what my first line looked like from the bottom:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiavMWDGGBAEdHcaMXOW2DSHzr_FvO-MgrrZ3H17mo5id6RaPa4jEzvAfY9BNdS_98KUOzdEE7qg2ajD49FhjJcRVHB1YRoRYDTVs5ICNreSHCMumVciIV05GhXID4enniXLg0SxdLbQcD4/s1600/IMG_2823.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiavMWDGGBAEdHcaMXOW2DSHzr_FvO-MgrrZ3H17mo5id6RaPa4jEzvAfY9BNdS_98KUOzdEE7qg2ajD49FhjJcRVHB1YRoRYDTVs5ICNreSHCMumVciIV05GhXID4enniXLg0SxdLbQcD4/s640/IMG_2823.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
And this was the view from where I dropped in:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have never ridden such steep terrain before. Thanks to the wet climate due to the short distance to the sea the snow in Whistler just sticks to the rocks like glue.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Elias picked out a really nice line just 50 meters next to my one:<br />

<br /></div>
Of course we are not the only people here who want to enjoy perfect conditions like this and therefore you have to get up early to claim the spots. This means getting up at 4.30 am in order to have a decent breakfast:<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFdoJknWsh5l5AehCTadbiiZpDmJYM1xL_glTavGYMrJQd1uc4jsJL-MBcw0jh2BdU-X-MIPMKsVW2Hptc-F34yXA-ZhqVkGiJlBZoGIirJfR9TidBKsReqwA_8-5Qy8rpiuzZAdK3KNgI/s1600/IMG_2790.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFdoJknWsh5l5AehCTadbiiZpDmJYM1xL_glTavGYMrJQd1uc4jsJL-MBcw0jh2BdU-X-MIPMKsVW2Hptc-F34yXA-ZhqVkGiJlBZoGIirJfR9TidBKsReqwA_8-5Qy8rpiuzZAdK3KNgI/s640/IMG_2790.jpg" width="480" /></a><br />
And then be ready at the parking lot at 6.30 am which is already packed with people at this time:<br />

As the snow was already sun baked on most slopes after 2 sunny days we had to scout for some north facing landings for our third day. At first it seemed liked every kicker spot with good snow had been hit within the last two days until we finally found another perfect spot:<br />
<br />

<br />
After only three hours of shoveling we had already set up a decent jump thanks to Cameron Hunter's ambitious shoveling!<br />
<br />
<img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1cTzCQcr0pN-eg7EJubp4YS9cem3v-MuPLy6cbpwBcLA_oAA1H3RNY3FBB9fgcJqdnYTk1boY5ii2fFsAqKnl6LNP1mj07iVQRtUsrF3QmczjtT1R6pqEHiDmgN8uV63gSG55Mw5i9BkX/s640/IMG_2879.jpg" width="480" /> <br />
Although we just had two amazing kicker sessions the days before this should be the one blowing our minds. The landing was as soft as feathers and the sunset was overwhelming!<br />

We have had such a good time on this jump that we just did not want to end it even after the light was gone. The last time I hit this jump was at 8.10 pm and this is what the conditions looked like at this time when taking an iphone picture:<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOEkbJ4tja5clMw-J79yK0Uub9ub8dIlprdPaenyfBvRa8MSWBe-iRm0_IToaq-4-ViiZqofGcc-UXX3InwzgWk2T1PRG0n9aJfbTR3ZtI0HyQ_izpEUnN7FwgPvrp7kLINI8osmYon4VX/s1600/IMG_2894.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOEkbJ4tja5clMw-J79yK0Uub9ub8dIlprdPaenyfBvRa8MSWBe-iRm0_IToaq-4-ViiZqofGcc-UXX3InwzgWk2T1PRG0n9aJfbTR3ZtI0HyQ_izpEUnN7FwgPvrp7kLINI8osmYon4VX/s640/IMG_2894.JPG" width="640" /> </a>This was the perfect ending session of an amazin week full of experiences. We've been snowboarding six days in a row getting up at 4.30 am and arriving home at 10.30 pm!<br />
<br />
Now I am looking forward to finally getting some sleep for more than 6 hours a night and letting the sore muscles (neck, shoulders, arms, thumb, back, legs,...) rest for a couple of days and wait for the next snow storm to bring fresh snow again!<br />
<br />
We'll be waiting for you Whistler's Backcountry!<br />

The beginning of past week the weather was so bad that we could not even find our way up into the Alpine. This is what Whistler's Backcountry looks like on these days: </div>

After waiting 2 hours in the cold and grey we decided to make a "Canadian Fire" which would keep us warm until the weather was hopefully gonna clear up and we could drive further up with our sleds.<br />

The fire was nice and kept us warm for another 3 hours until we finally gave up our hope on sun and decided to rather spend time Snowshoeing the forrest and filming natural features.<br />
<br />
I found a super fun run through some kind of natural halfpipe! As a drop in I built myself a poppy corner take off consisting out of only three blocks.<br />

Building jumps only as wide as your snowboard can safe you a lot of work...<br />

On the third day we were lucky enough to catch a sunny window to get up to the zone where all the kickerspots are and even managed to set up two sick jumps for the next good weather day. Whenever this will be...<br />

But as we spent a whole day shaping on the two spots we were almost forgetting about how difficult it could be to find our way home in a snow storm.<br />
<br />
When we finally tried to find our way out of the Alpine the view when driving looked like this:<br />

But as it was already 6 pm and we were the last people still on the mountain 15 km away from civilization we just had to figure out a way to get down as soon as possible.<br />

After some silent moments caught in a snow storm on 2000 meters we started trying to find the way back to the cat trail by always having someone walking ahead and touching the ground to figure out if we were still on the cat trail (which was completely windblown). This way we could slowly make our way forward step by step.</div>

This experience definitely gave me some more respect for the mountains and the always changing weather conditions out there once again. I am happy that we made it down before it got dark but I see it as a close warning.<br />

We hope on going on the mountain again soon. But so far the forecast is all about snow storms and clouds and shockingly high avalanche danger (it was on 5 yesterday! and now stays on 4...). But this won't keep us from going out snowboarding. If it is not possible on the mountain then we just work on our jib career in the streets!Marcohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09939259082905751960noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7831998317783939429.post-84189124151913691422012-03-13T13:45:00.000-07:002012-03-13T13:45:05.178-07:00Whistler - Dumping.

Whistler has got some crazy weather. We haven't seen the sun in five days and if you look at the forecast this does not seem to change within the next two weeks...<img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwUb-mLJ3TJdx_x15uW5CPg-4vWLE4MHI-_IYPfvbrLRGMAHbhMK_K0mlc_MX-w2ki8RJCt3lrPcFyYQnhdQTPxxfNHoV08DGuxeZqNzIgrUvV_LrqQgubueeNg03LZ7bZzVmfcL6TsnQd/s640/IMG_2533.JPG" width="640" /></div>
Nevertheless Elias and me had a nice session on a natural hit in the forest yesterday and both might have gotten a good shot on it.<br />

Although they call it an "ordinary winter" here the amounts of snow and the possibilities in the terrain are just mind blowing.<br />

Sightseeing. This roadgap became famous through Devun Walsh years ago:<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Although the zone beneath does have sled and hiking access (if you bring some time) no one ever goes in there we were told. Probably because right next to the trail there is jumps like the road gap above.</div>

Accidentally Bene Mayr and Sven Kueenle just rented an appartement in 2 meters distance from ours. Funny coincidence.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But the major coincidence is that the blue Dodge we just bought used to
belong to Sven about 6 years ago. He sold it to someone else and after years in various hands we just bought it from some snowboarder in
Whistler... </div>
