Finally I am back on my skis.... :D

Finally I am back on skis. After now more than 2,5 weeks my ankle is just fine enough to ride again. Luckily the last two weeks have been really bad snow wise so I didn´t missed out too much. I missed out La Clusaz, this years opener for the FWQ Series but I am over it now and happy to ski again. Next week is a new chance, I am going to start in Hochfügen, the famous " Ostwand" = Eastwall is going to be the contest venue! super stoked about that!

The last weekend I was in Obergurl/Hochgurgl, we had some good snow but really harsch weather conditions. Tempertature was around minus 15, wind and lots of fogg, but I still had a good time being back on my skis. I have edited a little video for all the guys from the test! check it out!




There is also our first shooting on sunday for SOS - Sportswear of sweden, were we editing a videoblog this year with about 4-6 Episodes! The first is definetly going to be online around the ISPO (international ski convention in munich)!
wish you guys all a good shred these days....find some powder!

peace

Newspaper Article, La Clusaz injuries...

Hey Everyone,

My local newspaper just published a story about the rising freerider Eric Zeller. :D
I meet up couple days ago with the editor and he was super stoked about freeriding and was super excited to bring some freeriding closer to the people around Konstanz. The local newspaper called Südkurier has a print out of more than 25.000 copies a day. So pretty sick for sure! ;D

Unfortunately the article is in german. ;) But you can find it here anyways... : http://www.suedkurier.de/sport/regionalsport/bodensee_west/art2783,4673380

I also was on my way to La Clusaz the first stopp of the this years Freeride World Qualifier Tour, all in all really disapointing, I had to get back in my car after reinjunring my right ankle at some warm up runs yesterday. So the competition is going to be held without my presence. I had injured my ankle 10 days ago while riding with the snowsick crew in tirol. I was hoping and praying that the time to the contest will be enough to recover. I was working really hard to start in La Clusaz so it seems to be a little set back but injuries happen and everybody has to deal with it I guess! :D

I´ll be back stronger and better and for sure healthier. ;)

see you guys soon.
Just klick back for more informations....

Happy New Year - Powder?

Hello Guys,

first of all I wish everybody a super exciting year 2011. May all your dreams and goals come true. If you start waking up everyday telling yourself today is going to be a good day, you find yourself having really good days, even when there are sometimes other days... :D

So I guess this was my little statement to all of you for 2011!

The last day of the year 2010 was an epic one for sure. I went to Hochfügen, Austria with my friend Steffen Hürter. No snow has fallen in 7 days and the forecast wasn´t looking better so that we weren´t really excited about having a good at all, but it turned out really nicley. We hiked up some ridges and found an untouched bowl, ridicoulous! :D So we pretty much spent the wohle day in there! We weren´t too excited about filming but here is a little edit about it.



Now I am on my way to Rosenheim to see my buddy Gex Rathfelder from the SOS ALPS TEAM. We might catch up with the Snowsick crew in Innsbruck.
I am kinda getting really excited about the first contest in La clusaz on the 15th of January. I put some news up as soon as possible after the event.

Find some pow pow....cheers!
