Still windy, trying to do the best of the situation

No snowboard today either! Still too windy up on the glacier.

I woke up early and tired, ate breakfast and then we all went out for a run. It´s very strenuous running at the high level we´re at (1800 m). And then we played some badminton and me, Johanna, Malin and Olivia sat at the balcony in the sun for a while.

Yesterday we saw the Absinthe movie, Twelve, and then there was a really fun party =)

Snowboard tomorrow? Yes PLEASE!!

Blue bird and bad weather in Saas-Fee

Oh my good!
Of course, my bagage was lost when I arrived to Zurich airport. They found my black little bag 10 minutes before the train to Saas-Fee was supposed to leave. So I ran, oh my good, I ran. And it aint easy to run with a big snowboardbag and two bags without wheels. I just catched the train before it was gonna leave. So now I have been running like maniac thrugh two hugh airports, just on one day.
But now I´m in Saas Fee and it´s soo beautiful here!

The first day in Saas-Fee. After breakfast at 7.30 we all walked through the cute little village to the gondola to go up to the glacier and the park. Bluebird and a awesome view over the mountains. It was a little bit windy and kind of "icebitte" in the morning but after lunch the park was slushy.
It was my first day of the season and it felt pretty sketchy but so much fun! I did a few spins on the kind of small jumps and it felt good =) Everyone was happy and smiling the whole day on the glacier. I still feel a little bit sick, coughing all the time so when the rest of the crew went out for a little run I just took a walk in the village.
We are living in a simple hotel in the middle of Saas-Fee (it is not big) and I share rooms with Malin Johansson and Atti Holst.

The second day everyone took a day off from snowboarding because the gondola was closed, it was too windy. Last night It felt like the house was gonna fall apart because of the wind. And it felt so boring because I really wanted to snowboard!!

The third day, today, and the same shit! It´s too windy and too foggy. The gondola is closed and I have to find a way to make this day good anyways. I´m feeling a little bit better so I´m gonna do some training and then maybe go to the spa?

Going to Saas-Fee

My trip to California was perfect! I will write about it soon...

Now I´m sitting on the airport in Wienna, drinking my starbuckscoffe and waiting for the airplane to Zurich. I´m tired, a little bit sick (since one week) and stressed (since I almost lost my phone at the airport in Stockholm and almost missed my flight. Luckely a little boy found it and answered when I called. PUH!) But I am so excited to snowboard again!

For three weeks me and Robert have been homeless living on friends and parents sofas waiting for our new apartment in Uppsala where we moved in yesterday. Finally!

I´m gonna spend 7 days in Saas-Fee with the Swedish national team. It´s gonna be really fun and exciting. Hopefully I have´nt forget how to snowboard after 4 months of summer ;)

My summer 2011


The season is over and it´s kind of sad
The winter ended perfect with a nice photoshoot with Nitro. But it´s always kind of sad and separation anxiety when the season ends and you go back to the "reality" again. But luckely I like the "reality" that includes summer and work. Of course I really wanted to go to Fonna and snowboard for a couple of weeks, get some more shots and snowboard on a different place (I´ve never been to Fonna). People always ask me "Why are you not in Fonna snowboarding on the summertime??" The answer is easy: "I have to work!! So I can afford the coming winterseason."

The best place on earth
My family has a summerhouse on a little island  on the coust outside Umeå. The house is surrounded with rocks, flowers and trees and it´s so beautiful! My parents have renovated and rebuilt the house to perfection and togehter with my mothers flower garden everything becomes so harmonious and peaceful. They are spending their summers on the island making the summerhouse so beautiful. This is the best place on earth! Just look at the pictures and enjoy =) 

 

 

I have only been in Umeå a couple of times this summer, just for a few days at a time, to visit my friends and my parents. Most of the summer I have spent in Stockholm where me and Robert have been working and living this summer. 

See you next summer "Stugan"! 

Catching up with lovely Umeåfriends
When in Umeå I spent some time with Marie and Hanna and their cute and gorgeus kids William and Nellie.

Wesc store on Kungsgatan
The Wesc store on Kungsgatan has been my second home this summer Working and laughing with my workingbuddies almost every day this summer. I guess that´s the best extra job I can have! =)

Wedding in a scottish castle
Me, Robert and his family went to Scotland for his cousins wedding in the beginning of the summer and we had a great time there! Scottland is a beautiful country with all the valleys, sheaps, forrests, hills, pubs and really friendly people. The wedding took place in a scottish castle and it was ok food, happy guests and a lot of dancing. We went to the maincapital Edinburgh and visited every vintagestore we could find on the map, and, it was a lot of them! =)

 

Foo Fighters
Amazing! We (the Wescstore family) got the backstagepasses to Foo Fighters big concert on "Stadion" in Stockholm. 30 000 in the audience, Band of horses playing first, eating buffee in the lounge with the singer in FF, standing on the stage with the band members familys looking out of the audience. And oh my good, they were soooo good!

A lot of workout and a glass of red wine
I guess I am a little bit addicted to the gym and the running thing. This summer I have spent very early mornings (7.00 am) at the gym so I could do my workout before work. Some people say I´m crazy =) But I just think it feels good! And running up the "Hammarbybacken" is really nice and the view up there over Stockholm is amazing!!
And that very red, very nice, tasty, wonderfully fragrant glass of wine is the best award a few nights per week ;)
 
The summer is over
The summer is over and I have just got home from LA, San Fransisco in California, where me and Robert togehter with wonderful friends have spent 3 weeks exploring the awesome cities, driving Highway 1, experienced friends wedding in LA and it has been a perfect time!
Of course I will write some words and ad some pictures from that amazing trip here when time comes.

Now back to reality again with work, moving to a new apartment and preparing for a new snowboardseason! =)
