La Tour Ronde N with the young legend @morgan_akhourfi
I didnt bring my glasses this time, so i actually couldnt see him while taking this photo.
When i later looked through the photos on the computer it becomes very clear to.me that Morgan is one of the most incredible skiers i have ever meet.
Fr:
Je n'ai pas apporté mes lunettes donc je ne pouvais pas le voir en prenant cette photo. En regardant plus tard les photos et les vidéos, il est clair pour moi que Morgan est l'un des skieurs les plus malades que j'aie jamais rencontré. J'ai hâte d'être à la prochaine fois !

Thankful is to smell the flowers
To see the shapes in the clouds
To let the grass reach between your toes as you walk home,
Not counting steps.

Why wait for snow, when you can chase it?
After weeks without fresh snow, @malmbeckjohan and @ejderblick spotted a rare Retour d’Est storm in the forecast. And just like that, they packed up and hit the road, on the hunt for fresh snow in the Italian Alps.
It didn’t go exactly as planned. But that’s the game when you follow the forecast. And sometimes… it pays off.

Saturday and something clicked. Really pleased with my progress this year in the mountains and this is only the beginning!
Today I went back to Tour Ronde Gervasutti with an amazing crew. Conditions were abominal for skiing but i had so much fun scrambling down the ice with my skis on and fitting in some turns aswell.
I had so much fun and this feels as a click moving forward for the rest of the season. To trust further in myself and dare to progress. I've also spend a good amount of time practicing with the speedwing recently. Lots of skiing under the wing through moguls and variable conditions, kiting in strong winds and really getting to terms more and more with the wing.
Also recently invested in a new pair of ice axes aswell, planning to use them a lot, I'm already so pleased with them and i see a difference in how i move in the mountains!

Tard dans la nuit, tôt le matin
Le moteur rugit, constant.
Les étoiles scintillent.
Les matins arrivent trop vite.
Les premiers rayons viennent se poser
sur les pentes que j’ai façonnées.
Je sors d’un instant suspendu,
presque hors du temps.
Au cœur de la nuit,
je vis plusieurs vies.

Late at night, early in the morning
The engine roars, constant
The stars shimmer
Mornings come too quickly
The first rays settle
on the slopes I have shaped
I step out of a suspended moment,
almost outside of time
In the heart of the night,
I've lived several lives.
I've held on to this text for a while now:
I was reminded today of how much has changed in these past few years. The last months has felt like the awakening after a long haze. Waking up to a new time and new place. My life feels foreign, yet it feels like it always been this way. It hasn't but i think i have quietly dreamed of this as long as I remember
My life is so very different in a such a short time and its difficult to intigrate.
I planned for it to take 5 years to make this journey work and sustainable (if it would ever). Though I haven't arrived at this point yet, It's gone way faster than I thought. But the price of a manic work-ethic and an otherworldy-conviction has payed its price on the parts of my life I hold closest
A few months ago I felt it very intensively I had started to loose the most reliable and important love of my life, the love to ski.
With this constant pressure to push myself proffessionally, to make this all work, I havent skied for myself in a longtime. The idea of it has grown more and more distant.
Over these last months I've invested back into this relationship. I've started to ski alone again. Without a plan or obligation, me and the mountain, listening closely, working together, dancing.. I've missed it, ive been feeling burnt out and depressed, guilty for now wanting to go out and do the thing I've spent my whole life dreaming of. But it's coming back.
I've always vividly feared loss of a parent, a partner, a friend, skiing, my sanity. It's a marriage, I realize that now, and it needs to be taken care of tenderly, and im getting back to doing that. Thanks for waiting for me.. ❤️
Thanks you for reading, i hope you are well and that you don't take your passion or love for granted, hold it/them close 🏕
