After a hard week for us it went to the typical way more relaxed Nine Queens Lifestyle shooting day. I could finally sleep in a bit after chronic sleep deprivation and what was left of the dark circles, the lovely make-up artists make uped it away. All queens dreesed up for the big lifestyle shooting and got done a perfect make up and hair styling.
Styled up and dressed in our dirndls we took the gondola up the mountain with full ski gear and went to a small restaurant with deer, birds of prey and lots of beer. Team Europe was at the start once again with the one and only Christopher Schöch as our photographer. The Queens were Lisa Zimmerman, Lena Stoffel, Eva Patscheider and myself. What a fun day!
The next day was finally the grande finale. Unfortunately, I did not make it to the finals, but the level was really incredible. Sw 1080s, Misty 9s, 540s sw cork, etc etc, what I call progression in women's freeskiing world. Ashley Battersby won the contest with her first and then switch wonderful 1080th Eveline Bhend was second and Kaya Turski third.
The after party was predictably wild. The Queens can namely not only skiing, but also celebrate quite well!
I thank everyone who made this possible and I'm already looking forward to next year! For more info check: www.ninequeens.com Also check out the first video of day 1&2.
