Hemsedal getting ready for the first day of the season on thursday! It's on!

A test shoot from the ledge last night turned out good!

Got back from Hintertux this weekend, spent some time with Mari, hit the gym and headed up to Hemsedal to meet up with Kalle for a new session on the Frame By Frame project. All the way from Vikersund - Hemsedal it was true winter conditions with around 15cm in Vikersund and a bit more in Hemsedal. Had a meeting with Skistar in the morning and Kalle w crew had this pretty epic spot close to a lake way up at the mountain ready for action. So me and Kalle jumped in the car after the meeting, put on the 4x4, pedal to the metal and let the Mitsubishi do the rest! Stoked on my new car in real winter conditions! A good start!  Built a few jibs and ended it all with a pure urban session on the famous down ledge down in the city.

Getting a sled ready for tomorrow at 10am at the ski resort and we are heading up to the top to see if we can find some pre-season jibs somewhere! Stay tuned for more FBF!

Trying to keep up me Instragram account! @andersbacke

Reidar and Markus had already built the jump and things was almost ready when we got there

Used a bungee to get enough speed for some air tricks and gaps

Pretty epic scenery up there in the afternoon light

Spin up, spin down!

Freshy!

After the urban session I tried to slide on some wood down the stairs and that didn't go as planned!

Yepp, and the days goes by! Pretty much in this order!

Still out rock'in Hintertux.  A bit late on the updates, but since Kalle ain't with me on this trip I got to do the pictures myself. Got my password on my Instagram account so that's a possible place to follow some more action. Pretty easy: @andersbacke

Long distance park shoot

Ain't to bad!

Out testing gravity

Eirik doing what's he is best at!  Thumbs up!

After hill training

Went by my new team-manager at Burn and the FSA-campers for dinner on friday!  Good vibes!

Things starting to look got dawn nice down her in Hintertux. They just re-shaped the big jump line, the weather are saying sunny all the way to next weekend with spring temperatures. Life is good!

Looks like Hohenhaus is the place to be on Tuesday! Susal are taking things to the next level!

After yesterdays snowstorm we woke up to 50cm fresh pow at the top, and because of that the park was closed. So we got some nice pow runs in the morning and after lunch they had the rails ready so things turned the right way!  They where fixing the jump lines when the resort closed so hopefully we get some jumping action tomorrow!

On board in Hintertux this days!  Arrived with yesterday and had our first day at the mountain today in heavy snowstorm!  Didn't see to much of the park today but the big line with 2 kickers and some rails are looking pretty banger!

Yepp, had planed a short morning hunting session before breakfast yesterday with my brother, since I heading down south pretty soon I thought I would try to join in on the hunting as much as possible before I leave. So after a short hour sitting on post with this epic sunrise I got a call from Sigurd that he had shot a moose and a calf on the other side of the ridge. So went down to get the ATV and we spent some hours cutting up the moose, lifting it on the trailer and try to get out of the woods with around 350kg in the back! So I took some more time, but just stoked for Sigurd shooting his first moose and also 2 on the same session!  Congrats!

220kg fresh meat in the building! Father, Sister and Brother on point!

Then the first session of the moose hunting is over and a pretty good start! I didn't get any moose during this first session but just living at the cabin with the crew and being out hunting all day is perfect!

Met up with my brother and father (Sigurd/Tollef), Odd and Øyvind at our cabin called "Keiåsen"on thursday night. Settling in and getting ready for the first day of action on friday morning.  Lars and Nicolai fra Denmark arrived at 4am and the alarm was set on 05.30 for breakfast, so I think everybody was a but tired but still stoked to head out the first morning. And we took it from there!

Friday morning and a good start!

Walking towards my post in the sunrise

Not to bad of a view! Just waiting for a 4-legger to walk by

Lunch at the famous metting point "Gapahuken" nature style!

On the spot ready to go!

Having lunch at the cabin ain't to bad with fresh meat, coffee and all sort of snacks!

Big Paps nailed the first moose of the season on friday afternoon, close to a place called "Espemyr"

A satisfied crew!  from left: Tollef, Nicolai, Odd and Sigurd

Varo deserved a power-nap!

It's all about the tools

135kg fresh meat!

When we arrived back at the cabin friday evening after getting the moose down and ready for the butcher, we was met by this!  7 pizza's and 3 calzones baked on the outdoor table and roasted on a fire. EPIC!

A well deserved dinner and dessert after a long day with the first moose in the bag!

Heading up to our cabin for some moose hunting with my father, brother and the rest of the crew. Looking forward to eat fresh meat straight out of the fire and live Monsen style!  Hoping for a repeat of last year with a medium deer in the ground!

Lunchbreak

Got a good tackle on this deer last year!
