I'm still alive

I haven't posted in here for a while. My season ending was pretty unspectacular because the weather sucked a lot. Nevertheless, Laax presented one of the best and most creative Spring Session parks EVER. Big thanks to the shapers!
I haven't been snowboarding ever since, focusing on my Master studies and spending some quality time with my loved ones. Summer has arrived in Zurich, which means I'm taking my books to the "beach" and study my ass of, jumping into the lake from time to time. Life's tough!
As I have to finish my master thesis this summer, I'm not going to be travelling a lot. Instead, I'm hoping to get some sexy slush'n'rail time in Zermatt where there's gonna be one of the finest summer parks in Europe, yeah. Speaking of Europe, the football championsships are also getting a lot of my attention at the moment. Go Deutschland!
Soon, some trailers will drop and you will be kept updated about girls snowboarding last winter. Sadly, I wasn't part of it. I can't be too sad, though, because even though my season lasted only 6 weeks, I went to 3 events in 3 different coutries and made it to the podium 3 times. On top of that I met some amazing people! One of my best "seasons".

PBRJ European Champs 2012

I got 3rd at the Peanut Butter & Rail Jam EU Finals in Avoriaz. I'm really thrilled, especially since 4 other swiss people made the top 5: Stephi, JJ, Julien and Buzzi. We had an amazing time and enjoyed our stay to the fullest! The girls podium was pretty sick, JJ (1st) and Rachida (2nd) killed it with a looot of steeze!

JJ got first and likes her price

PBRJ

Last weekend, we did a little roadtrip to Grasgehren in Germany (Thank you for the big car, Never Summer!). One of the many Peanut Butter and Rail Jam Qualifications was going on there and we tried to make the top 5 in order to qualify for the Euro Champs which are gonna be next week in Avoriaz!
I made the top spot, Stephie and Barbara made 2nd and 4th, so it was a very successful day for us Swizzys. The level of riding was pretty nice, big props to Anika, she killed it.
Thank you Volcom, you always know how to throw a good event!

I'm looking forward to the Champs now, it's going to be such a great session, with JJ and Gaia and many many chicks from all other countries also coming along!

First edit 2012

Yay, fun.

Jib Days Coverage

What a weekend! Perfect park, perfect conditions, perfect ambiente, perfect vibes!

I don't think I would've gotten back into snowboarding as quickly if it hadn't been for those two days. These girls were pushing me so hard and we had a great time together. On top of that, I won the Best Style award and some cash.

SNOWBOARDING

This week the Burton European Open are happening in Laax. I was registered for halfpipe but still couldn't really ride so I didn't start. BUT I finally waxed my board again and hit the park with the girls from the Rip Curl party team!! It was so nice to see Diana, Urska and Marion again and to meet Norwegian rider Emilie. We had so much fun - day and night!

As I really feel a lot better I'm going to check out a jib event hosted by my friends Carmen and Gaia in Austria this weekend. It doesn't matter if I can ride or not, I already know it's going to be a BLAST!

By the way, this is my 50st post! Thanks for still reading :)

Skiing forever!

My doctor allowed me to go skiing, so I grabbed my mother's slalom skis and rocked the slopes today. My foot didn't hurt at all and it was the most fun day of my season!!
