Saas Fee Day 2


Last night everyone got together for the intro and quick briefing on what K2 is doing for 2008. Pretty sweet. Media showed up from around the globe as well as the K2 team and staff.


This was followed by a traditional meal of Raclette - melted stinky cheese with potatoes, onions and pickles - sounds weird but tastes good. Washed down with some local white wine.


Pete from The House in the house.


K2 mastermind Jeff Mechura with team rider Leanne Pelosi


Norway and black metal, or was it death metal - I am not sure but Danny Larsen explained it all to me.


Juxtoposition.


Getting up to the hill was kind of crazy and took about an hour. Two trams followed by an underground train that brought you out to the glacier. Very Scenic, except for the train part.


Shaun McKay in front of the glacier.


This was all on the glacier- but the snow conditions were pretty nice and winter-like. good times.


Also ran into Josh Dirksen who has been living in Zurich over the summer.


Eero Niemela.


Danny Larsen - board blacked out cause it is an 08.


Willie Yli-Luoma frontside air out of the nicely shaped pipe.


Bryan Fox.


Europe + ski racers= aggresive liftline tactics.


We had lunch in a James Bond style revolving resurant. Very classe.


Tess from Pleasure and John Laing pose with Miss Romania who was also enjoying lunch. Not sure if she runs the sash all the time.


Saas Fee.


Freddy Klambermatten lives here. More ski racers.

oi

yeah saas fee is so sick, I think it's one of the most beautiful shredplaces ever, so mellow and laid-back, hmm the way every resort should be... Little expensive though but it's worth backing the green theme...
Enjoy the allalin (shit's trippy) and watch out for them glaciercracks!

Nice Post

I'd be stoked to ride Saas Fee some day.

More to come...

Sorry I have not made a post in a bit. My computer got smashed in a late night episode where a hurricane of a pro stormed into my room and crushed my machine. Man. It was an accidental but a real bummer and an expensive night for the unnamed rider.

FOCK!!!!!

c'mon markus, more detail please...

It's black metal dude.

What a great trip! Thanks K2!
