The Snowparkralley finals in Leogang....check out the final snowboard and freeski pics!

Last Weekend, I was at the Finals of the Snowparkralley in Leogang/AUT. Six Teams made it to the finals and competed in the last mission "contrasts". The conditions weren't too easy since there was just little snow left. The summer pretty much arrived in the whole resort and the crews had to be really creative. Thomas Hlawitschka and me helped them to fullfill their last mission and judged the final pics in the end, the winners are....

Nine Queens Final – Lifestyle shoot and 1080s

On the second last day, we had the honor to get our private make-up and hairstylists. It was so much fun and everybody looked so glamorous. All the Queens, dressed in their Dirndls and styled like models, drove to a very old castle ruin and did the group shoot together. After, the Queens and photographers were separated in groups and tried their best in being crazy creative. Check out the pics and for more: http://ninequeens.com/.

The next day was competition day. I had bad luck and crashed in the training, lost my orientation and got a really bad concussion. Well, watching from the side for me, this day. The Queens killed it with Kaya Turski and Maria Bagge throwing their first 1080s. In the End, Maria Bagge one the Comp and Kaya Turski was voted to the all over ruler.

It was the most amazing week with an even more crazy party on Friday. It was definitely the best event, I’ve ever been invited to and I can’t wait to hit the castle next year again. The pictures and the film material turned out beautiful and we’ll all see a great output. With the Nine Queens Invitational 2011, a high standard in the world of women’s freeskiing was set and will show how strong also the Queens can be.

Cheers,

Another amazing day at the castle....with a heli shoot!

It's just getting better and better every day, I don't even know which session was the best so far. It's such a pleasure to hit this jump every time again. This time, we had a heli session till the sundown and it was just EPIC. I can't wait to see the pics and the filmshots from the heli. I'm pretty sure they turn out just amazing and will be spread around the world to give everybody an idea about the progression in women freeskiing, which is happening right now here at Nine Queens in Serfaus(-;

Le chateau is so much fun!

What an awesome first day!!! After a long breakfast yesterday, we went up pretty late, to catch the nice afternoon and sundown light. Since I didn’t do the jump yet, it was time for me to finally hit the castle. And it felt awesome. Thanks to some nice pills, I was able to ski, without feeling my toe a lot. I had such a great day with the Queens, playing around the castle. I’m stoked about the atmosphere and I’m so happy to be here. Check out the epic pics by Andi Wittmann to get an first impression about the action going on up there.

What a welcome night!

After we checked out "le chateau", we were invited to an amazing welcome night. All the Queens dressed up in their Dirndls and had an amazing traditional Austrian dinner at a small hut up the mountain. Great people, great food, great atmosphere! Ready for more action today(-;
