Europe Photos

Admittedly, this is an overdue photo dump. These are some of my favorites from spending October and early November bouncing around western Europe. I'd strongly recommend it.

You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you get what you need.

Oslo

Alas, it was time to leave the peace of Lyngen and head for the bustling city.

Lyngen Camping



The posh life had to end. No more saunas. No more chocolate chip cookies. No more warm beds. Lyngen was going to get a little more in-tents.


Camp Kviteberg


Good turns after a morning in the rain. Skier: Fruda, AKA the Godfather of Lyngen

Vulkana Trip



With stability, and a bit of luck, things in Norway began to fall together nicely.


Lyngen Scenics

So. One way flight to Tromso? Check. Crashing on a friends couch? Check. Job? Nope. Plans? Hike up, ski down, take photos. Life? It's simple.

Feb 28 - Psych!



Sometimes it's good to be wrong. Lee works down the face of Kaerazu.

Fire Festival



It's unlike anything I've experienced in Japan before: absolute pandemonium.

Jan 24. 30 Days and Counting...

I've now been in Japan for one month. It's been a fantastic mix of high-pressure skiing and deep powder. Already, so many days will stand out in my mind for a long time down the road. Skiing new zones, trying new angles, and getting creative. It's all been a blast. 

Early Ups

6AM. I should still be in bed, but my alarm has gone off a long time ago. My ski boots are on and I'm staggering out into the cold dark of pre-dawn in Hakuba.

 High pressure this time of year in Hakuba is about as rare as getting to pet a kamoshika.

The first days of January have been pretty relentless. With Japow in effect, there's been no shortage of some much-needed time in the white room.
