Sunshine, great people and lot of snow. I’m very positively surprised by Andorra. Wouldn’t have thought that there is such good skiing here in the Pyrenees.

OMG! So much snow.
Two new films are out:
- EOFT is touring through Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy and the Netherlands and showing of their newest footage.
- Warren Miller‘s newest master piece “Children of Winter” – check it out!
Although I liked last year’s trailer much better.
Vail, Colorado
I went this weekend with my two friends Rob and Jing to Heavenly Ski Resort in South Lake Tahoe right at the border to Nevada.
And man, we had a blast! This was one of my best snowboarding days in my life. In the night from Saturday to Sunday it snowed about 2 feet (60cm) and luckily there was the Superbowl going on this weekend, so 90% of the Americans were sitting in front of their TVs instead of enjoying the fresh powder.
We stayed at the Marriot Timber Lodge, which is right next to the Heavenly base station. Besides that we had all the amenities like a fireplace and a big kitchen in our room, 4 Jacuzzis, a heated swimming pool and a steam room. Life is hard, isn’t it?!
Check out our videos. YouTube is faster and more convenient, while you’ll get the better quality if you download the video files.
Enjoy the trailer of Warren Miller’s newest masterpiece.
Out of his bio: “We filmed each other to try to improve our skiing and then during the spring and summer, we filmed each other surfing.“
