Russia Yellow blue bus!

Russia, I’ve always wanted to go there!! And here I am, landing in Sochi designated host of the 2014 Olympic games. The small airport stands by the black sea and I m quite surprised to see palm trees through the plane window.. We made our way through the taxi drivers scrum, chose one of them by the size of his car and drove up towards Krasnaya Polyana.. It s a 45 minutes drive.. this place looks like a remote and small European resort.. but 40 years ago. Oakley is always a fun crew! Grete Eliassen, Gretchen Bleiler, Angeline who has missed her flight, Marie-France Roy who had some visa issues and will arrive a couple of days later and I.

Runway Trip

We are sitting on that oldschool chairlift in White Water BC, it s bouncing.. the slope is still untracked.. The fog is going up and the sun starts appearing behind the evergreens. The snow builds up on the trees,, they are frozen.. everything is white and crutsy, humid, fresh tracks, pillows, cold and heartwarming. Runs in the trees all the way to the road and hitchhike back to the lift. Small resort, 2 lifts.This is how poetic the trip started.. and the crew made it all become funky and adventurous! Leanne Pelosi, Janna Meyen, Natasza Zureck and I are following Shandi Campos and Scott in the deepest of their mountains.

Day 2: Crazy way up the hill this morning, cross avi passes.. huge avalanches. Danger zone.

Fun Riding in Avoriaz

Fun riding in Avoriaz

There is nothing more fun then riding my home mountains and cruising down the slopes in the sunshine.. I came to Avoriaz for the Stash opening.. Since I was so close from home, my mum, brother and friends came to meet me through the slopes from the swiss side.. We started with some runs in the pipe cause my brother had a world cup the next day and went for some slopes.. I had my camera in the pocket and shot funny slashs pics.. we took some runs in the stash and went to the sunset side of the mountain for some riding in the easy park.. the snow was really good and it wasn't too cold.. we had a super fun day finding little jumps all over the place..

first riding day in 2008

The first of January has always been one of my favorite riding day of the year!!
Because you are riding with your friends and family, and because there are many less people on the hill due to that international hangover day!! This year I went riding in Bareges-La Mongie in the French Pyrénées.. The cool thing there, is that it’s warm, riding in the sunshine helps make it a better day!! And people from the south are friendly and smiling in all weathers. (www.tourmalet.com)

We just went crewsing down some slopes jibbing here and there..

Brazilian Christmas

Hi all!! Yes I was in Brazil for some surfing before the season really takes off!!
It felt soo great!! The trip was my brother, my boyfriend and I! We landed in Rio de Janeiro and directly drove to Ubatuba on the beach of Itamambuca where you can surf all day long!! We found a sick Pousada (www.tocadoguaiamum.com.br) at the very end of the road.. we would wake up, grab the surfboards and walk to the beach.. we had to walk 5 min in the jungle and then cross a river to get to the beach!! We felt like adventurers..that place is soo sick!! All the 10 olds from the village surf there all day and they kill it!! They are mad good!! I got some surf tips from a 7 year old Brazilian piece of woman who was surfing 1 meter waves!

JAPAN Burton tour.. MADNESS!!

I LOVE Japan!! Stoked to be there again for the Burton store Opening in Osaka!!

JAPANESE MADNESS. My ears and my eyes are overwhelmed lights,
sounds and people everywhere.. polite, polite, maybe impossible,
karaoke my favorite, sushi, crazy fashion, mini crewsers,
best spray toilets ever, sake, photo, photo..

The cool thing on that trip was that we weren’t stuck just between snowboarders.
Sweet to have Burton's Nicolas Muller and Tadashi Fuse in the crew
and also gravis surfer Kassia Meador and Analog’s Arto Saari!!

BURTON chile photoshoot

Back in Chile for the Burton's summer photoshoot

Victoria Jealouse, Natasza Zurek and I are going to Lonquimay which is about 10 hours drive from Santiago.. I love to come down here for the Burton summer photoshoot cause we team up with 2Tiempos, a sled company pull together by Christian Vahrhan.. this guys guys are dope! Los Andes are huge and deep mountains with Volcanos and the sleds make them easily accessible.. they avoid extra hiking too..
