I placed 2nd and was great to be on the podium with such great riders. It was an excellent contest, fights were awesome, some 1run fights, some 2run fights too, very exciting sometimes and the crowd had great fun, as always!
It was the first time that the spanish guys showed such a good level and got to fight against some good internationals so I'm really stoked about the whole contest!!Its the best contest here by far! price money was big enough for raitanen's new labtop and jaime's trip to NZ! I dont know what beni's doing with it!

After the whole thing was done, I got back to Barcelona, had dinner with my friends on the way, brought home all my car mates and got home late, a coke in my hand and a huge smile in my face!
I hope next year a lot more riders will come and GRANDVALIRA will set again such a nice slopestyle course. for more pics of the course, visit www.alltheski.com

Verabschieden Österreich!
FEBRUARY 29 / 08
After two days of zero visibility (and zero snowfall) our crew headed back to Salzburg for a day of rest, sight seeing, and laundry, before leaving Austria. Even without significant snowfall, this has been one of the most fun, successful, and productive photoshoots Orage has had in recent years. Now its time for us to sort photos, capture video, and put it all together for you to check out on our new 08/09 website this summer.
Scroll below for some daily highlights of the trip.

Krippenstein Photoshoot - Day 4
FEBRUARY 22 / 08
The extended forecast was calling for a storm system to move in for the last day of our photoshoot and the whole team was pretty excited to see some snow. Unfortunately for us, we woke on Day 4 to heavy clouds, zero visibility, and aside from occasional flurries, there was no snow. Not letting the weather get them down, Phil and Tobi headed out and setup a wallride on the building that housed the gondola/tram anchor. The visibility improved just long enough for four of five attempts, and that was all Phil (and photographer Matt Harvey) needed to pull off some shots that you will most likely see in the gracing the pages of Freeskier next year.
