It's pretty hard to say it..... goodbye chile :'-(

Chile! An amazing country with a never ending coast, beautiful girls and incredible mountains. 
Around Santiago, in the middle of this crazy country, we had the chance to compete at the Swatch Skiers Cup! And if that's not enough i can also be proud to be a part of the Team Europe, the winning team ;) !!!!

After the 6:2 for Europe at the Freeride day, the Freestyle day was on the program. Fortunately i landed my first run and won the point against Matt Margetts and the score was 10:6. So we had to get at least 3 more points at the second run for the victory. No one else as Kaj Zackrisson, our captain, got that third point right in front of me so i had no pressure anymore and I went for it. I landed the right 5 reverse mute to switch bio 9 at the first two obstacles but then i crashed at the switch right 5 witch was pretty lame :D So Rory Bushfield won that point for America with a sick run.

Richard Permin won the last Head and the score was 14:10. We couldn't have benn happier to bring the trophy of the very first year home! :) thanks http://www.skierscup.com/

6:2 for Europe! What else!

The first couple of days here in Chile passed by pretty quick and we've been chilling a lot here in the awesome W Hotel, had a great surf yesterday at the coast and made 6 points out of 8 at the Big Mountain day! Hell Yeah!!

Kaj picked me to ride against Josh Bibby and I knew that I had to scope a good line if I want to beat him and I saw to couloirs’ after each other but I didn't see it from the bottom and it seemed super sketchy so I scoped another line. On the way up on the top I saw the couloirs line again and I went for it and it worked out J Team Europe takes the lead!

After a great surf day yesterday we are ready for the freestyle day!

goodbye NZ! buenos dias CHILE!

The trip to NZ was definitely a big success! I had a great time at the World Heli Challenge and ended up first at the freestyle day. After that, the Winter Games where on the Timetable but unfortunately I didn’t compete… My knee was feeling bad so I chilled for a week and made it stronger!

After the games and a big party, Fabbro Matthias, Lukas Schäfer, and I went up north to the Club Fields to catch some POW and shoot with Sean Balmer and Fabrice Wittner for the next Downdays Digi-Mag. Unfortunately the snow was pretty bad but with lots of hiking we found some funny spots and one cool line!

If some of you guys come to New Zealand you should definitely go to the Westcoast and check out the Glaciers and the Rainforest! We went there on the way back to Wanaka and it was simply amazing.

Back at Snowpark I had the pleasure to shoot up on Snowpark with a Red Bull Heli and the Völkl Wall of 2013 which should be a secret. Right the day after the NZ Open started and I got second at the semi finals. The parkshapers had to change some obstacles again because it didn’t really work out and I had lots of problems to figure out a good run. I couldn’t get my head clear and crashed on every final run…

As the finals where over we drove straight to Queenstown to catch my flight at 5pm! And now finally I’m chilling here in the incredible W Hotel at Santiago de Chile with my buddy Nicolas Vuignier!
