It`s been a while. I hope everybody is enjoying spring time! March and April have been great, I was in the States with my film crew La Famiglia. We were filming around Lake Tahoe for the movie WhiteEver, which will be coming out with Playboard next season. A bunch of guys and one girl together in a big house, it was awesome. We also visited the South Shore Soldier camp at Heavenly. They had a pretty fun set up and barbecue. After I went to Canada for a Helly Hansen shoot which was happening in Selkirk, interior BC. I didn’t expect anything because it was already end of March, but we were lucky and got really good powder and also the sun came out every day. It was a pretty relaxed lodge, good food and the cats drove us everywhere. Siiiiick! Happy happy puppy!
Then I went back to California and joined in for the MS Superpark session from Snowboarder at June Mountain. Crazy setup with gap jumps and a quarter-hip-stepup-waldride building. Great job they did and just for the girls! Then I went with Conny for some days to LA, checked out the beach, went shopping and had a fun time out. And you know what: my sister Sabrina is qualified for the Olympics in Judo!
Whoohoooo! Last weekend I visited her with my mum in St. Moritz. We went on some tours in the mountains. Innsbruck is also pretty enjoyable right now, friends, mt biking, learning to play the guitar and getting the spring riding on.
Yeahhhh Have fun! lisa

Last time I updated this blog I a sitting on a sweaty noisy plane on my my way to the US for the Ultimate Boarder Competition( snow, surf ,skate) Well, here is how it went for me…. I landed in Reno Airport very late, almost midnight. I went to pick up my luggage, but my laggage was not there…and the competition was the next morning. So after talking to the Airline, they promised to send it straight to Tahoe next morning in time for the competition. Full of hope that my bag would make it in time, I went to my car that was parked on the airport since last time in USA, I put in the key and turned it around…nothing happened, battery was dead. This was not my day! I fianlly got someone to help me start the car, and I drove to lake tahoe. When I woke up the next morning I still did not receive my bags, and the competition was about to start. I ended up riding the contest on borrowed bindings, boots and clothes….it did not go well, I fell on every run, one time actually before the jump! Hip hip hurray!
After the contest I met up with Vianney Tissau, and we where hooting in Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows for one week. I also teamed up with Torstein Hoorgmo, Juuso Lavisto and Chaz Guldemond for a session on some really good jumps in Alpine together with Standard films.
The last 2 days I have been in LA, visiting my shoe and boot sponsor Etnies and 32, I stayed with my team manager Eddie Lee, and been surfing 2 times a day. It was really good to jump in the water after a long winter season!
Now I am sitting in the Lufthansa Lounge in LA airport LAX, using the internet for what its worth and eating as much free food as I can…and maybe tasting a glass or two of some sleepy wine. Its pretty funny to look at all those business people sitting here in their suites writing important Emails, they just don’t look too happy. They should just snowboard more is what I am thinking.
But season is far from over….I will get only one day in Norway before I will jump on a new flight and go to north of Finland for a Storbis film shoot. I will also go to Hemsedal and Stryn in Norway…..and after that to Mt Hood. So there is plenty of fun to come!
Hope you all got some good spring riding, some slushy slashes and soft landings! If you have some fun stories to tell, good slams or whatever, just post it in the comment section!
Peace out fella mountain goats! Thomas
It is me again. Well…tomorrow I am going to Hintertux glacier as we start with the training for the upcoming season. Can’t wait! But what I really wanted to say is that the season 2007/08 turned out very well for me. I have learnt plenty of new tricks and started to jump on some really big kickers. My coach made a short promo of my riding, you can check it out, if you want.
Oh…Did I mention that I am going to Hintertux glacier? Aljosa

Last week I was on a waiting period for some powder runs and especially some sun. In between there was a really warm period that I used to do some surfing in the Adriatic Sea.
My filmer Basti Funk and Helge Zirkl from Playboard also joined the quest. We got two days of waves in Croatia. Now back again waiting to do some back country action. Have fun. Matevz
