Eurotrash

I’ve searched the world over for my angel in black
I’ve searched the world over for my euro trash girl.


Telemarking is stupid, Alpine skiing is easy and Snowboarding sucks.



Mugkogl, we wanted right but found out at the summit that we did not want it enough to risk a sketchy downclimb, so we took left and then crawled over to right when the stone got in the way. We also had good intentions but time is such a fickle thing and really, who cares about numerical analysis.



All the local boys like to ski uphill.



And a few even upgrade from short and skinny to long and fat, which takes some adjustment.





Yours truly, are we there yet? (Simon's pic)



‘bout time.





I did not know that was there. Now I do.



The entrance had rocks and icy patches. The rest was far more like potatoe puree than we had anticipated, I went for a ride in my sluff, the skiers survival skied and the snowboarder showed us how its done.





Run out to let it run.



Silly guy.



See, they can do it without hollering and waving.





So can I, for that matter. But I am pretty introverted anyway. (Simon's pic)



------
Yesterday was a reckoning day, I skied a bit and drove around a bit and watched the sun set.



Snow is starting to stick to stuff that some of us are waiting for. Potentially possible possibilities..



Oh yeah, by the way, I wax my skis with blood. This makes me more hardcore than you.

Big Big Storm, Break my Crown

We had seen the maps and watched the models. When the day came we went out to see for ourselves. We found the colourful diagrams of our humming computers confirmed, the algorithms holding. Knowledge is powder, and really fucking cold.



Keksie has way too big skis for a stick with a head like him, so no matter how much snow there is, he doesn’t sink in.



Tobi was dressed for success.



Jürgen is a stray we found somewhere.



Yours truly, incoming.



Hey! Keksie almost got snow in his face!



Naw, false alarm.



Telemarkers who shamelessly ride their tails get more faceshots



And have more fun.



He fell and broke his thigh the next day and is now stuck in a dismal hospital room, unable to move. He does have wireless internet though, so if you can post something that will entertain him, make him smile or have suggestions on how not to go mad waiting for his leg to heal, speak up.

Lower elevations suddenly skiable and a starry weekday night. Sleep when you're dead or in the lecture if you make it back in time.

Blurry half light and frozen eyelashes.





A small part of the Karwendel



keksie will turn into a morning person if he's not careful.



It never snows in Europe, St Anton is the only ski area in Austria and there is no lift going up that ridge.



Showing off my skillz. Tip to bush to frontflip without losing ground contact. Smoove as ever.



First treeskiing of the season.



Where'd he go?



Oh.



Today it was back to the stormy glacier that wasn’t so stormy anymore, just white.

Jochen said he wanted to stop by the park but I guess he forgot.



Deep down and going for the photog stabbing.



The snow spat Jochen back out.



But didn’t mind me.



Current view from the kitchen. In the name of science, we will continue or work.

Savoy Truffle

October/early November

Cream tangerine and Montélimar
A ginger sling with a pineapple heart
A coffee dessert - yes you know it's good news



But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle.

There are days when you duck the rope and there are days when the rope ducks you.


Cool cherry cream, nice apple tart
I feel your taste all the time we're apart

The day colour died.


Coconut fudge - really blows down those blues
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle.

keksie: "so, you've got your rockskis, right?"


You might not feel it now
But when the pain cuts through

klar: "no, but I can make some."


You're gonna know and how
The sweat is going to fill your head

Just a l'il bit more


When it becomes too much
You'll shout aloud

Save me.


But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle.

Totally stoked about the prospect of skiing sugar on scree.


You know that what you eat you are,
But what is sweet now, turns so sour

It's all grass underneath, except where it's not.


We all know Obla-Di-Bla-Da
But can you show me, where you are?

Rest In Peace, Summer.

A coffee dessert - yes you know its good news
But you'll have to have them all pulled out

Rayleigh Scattering


After the Savoy truffle.

Keep the fires burning.


Yes, you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle.
