Back in se snow

Last weekend, I returned to my favourite summer job, namely coaching jibbing skills to little girls. The infamous Girls Camp in Zermatt was on again and we had a blast, as always. When the weather was too bad to go snowboarding we spontaneously went to a gym hall and played tons of fun games. I haven't had that many sore muscles in years!

Even though I only went riding for one day, I rediscovered my passion for this sport and am super excited about the following season, which I will spend in Laax from January all until April. Yay!

The upcoming weekend, I will be one of the lucky contestants in the stairset battle at the freestyle.ch event in Zürich, hosted by Laax, of course.

The weekend after that, I will be heading off to The Hague, where I will be trying to defend my podium rank from last year at the Rock A Rail event in the middle of the city. Always a pleasure to party with the Dutchies!

As you can see, winter has made its way slowly but surely into my life again and I really don't mind..

Wakesurfing, doodah

I went wakesurfing for the first time 2 weeks ago. Very enjoyable indeed. I recommend it to everyone who just wants to have fun, be outside and around water. I had sore muscles for a couple of days but it was totally worth it. Check it out here!

But wait, there's more! I quit Rip Curl after 4 wonderful seasons. They always supported me and I met a lot of lovely people. Since it's hard to survive without an outerwear sponsor I now ride for doodah and I'm really excited about it! Doodah is the no. 1 skate and snowboard shop in Switzerland and has always had an excellent team. Together with mama Carmen Beccaro, Elena Könz and my little sister Carla, I am proud to be in the Zurich shop rider team.

Late later latest

Very late update, my bad. The ending of the season was excellent, for once the weather did a great job and I had two days of super slushy  spring session in Laax. I have started my job in the hospital in April thus my free (snowboarding) time is very limited at the moment. I love working though and I feel very excited to be a full-grown doctor in a year.
I have recently taken up skateboarding again and love it! Although it's much harder to develop board-control and style in skateboarding than in snowboarding I am enjoying it equally.

Here are still some leftovers from the past season:

The Crap Show #26

Another small part in the Crap show. It was a lot of fun to ride and Film with Joelle and others. I'm having a blast in Laax right now, riding a lot of powder but also the infamous P60 aka Curnius park.

Just a frontblunt to reg at 2:40. I hope there's more to come soon, but I'm still taking it very easy, letting my bruises heal. Lots of powders here!

Collecting bruises in Austria

I did a nasty scorpion on the stairs at the street vs. snow in Austria last week. Sadly, it happened at the end of practice, so I didn't even get to ride the contest. I liked the setup a lot and a stupid catching of the edge led to some bad bruises and a strained shoulder. I was in a lot of pain but the disappointment about not being able to ride the contest was even bigger. This was my second invitation to an excklusive rail jam this season and I was so hyped to go there.
However, I did have a lot of fun with JJ, Rachida, Mary, Stephi and Dina! And congrats to Anne-Sophie for taking the cash home. I hope to be there again next year.

At the moment I'm just hanging out in Flims, working a little and waiting for my bruises to heal. Dina is here, too, shredding some pow since the Burton European Open are being postponed every day. I might try to ride tomorrow, see what my body tells me to do.
