Any Christmas present ideas for a skier? Yeah, I’ve got few. Every time I get pissed off with my job, I watch ski, surfing and climbing movies. Here are 7 Christmas present ideas for skiers, riders and other mountain people. Gotta love these DVD’s!
Sad but true. People get older, including you and me. As we get older, we most probably gain more responsibility at home and at work. The more we have responsibility, the less we have time of our own. I realized this few years ago as we got more children. It was early ski season and [...]
As a kid I joined a little giant slalom race at my home hill. I spent the morning by preparing for the race. I was eager to win the race, but I felt like my skis just don’t slide well. There was an Atomic test event going on and I decided to give a try. [...]
Yesterday I watched Wildboyz on MTV. Some things they do are disgusting, but I have to say it looks a lot of fun. Sometimes I feel like I wish I was there with Wildboyz. Anyhow, they are stuntmen and they know what they are doing. I would just kill myself when trying those freaky tricks.
Dropping [...]
Back in 1999 I was living my dream with my friends. We were ski bums spending the whole ski season in Chamonix in France. Being a ski bum was absolutely one of the highlights in my life, not just because of skiing but also because of great friendships we created and the great moments we [...]
For those who are planning to ski in Chamonix I would like to suggest Gîte D’Étape La Tapia, a very cheap and good hostel located close to Chamonix center. I have stayed in many hostels in Chamonix, and La Tapia is one of the best ones I have found in Chamonix. I stayed in La [...]

I was six years old when [...]

Year 2007 is soon over and 2008 is beginning. Next year I will go skiing in some ski resorts, but I haven’t decided yet which ones I will visit. There are numerous ski resorts I would like to experience, such as Whistler, Silverton, Lake Tahoe, Cortina, Mt. Ruapehu, Elbrus, Kamtsatka.. Some time ago I wrote [...]
Come on, this is unbelievable! Ridiculous! It is December 15th. and we have no snow here in Helsinki (Finland)! I do not know what to say, this is so unreal. Al Gore seems to be right, the climate is changing fast. Back in the 80’s it was so much different. We used to have real [...]
