      We have arrived here at Hochfugen, our second location of our Austrian ski trip.  

      Yet again, another beautiful valley with large mountains rising in all directions, making for amazing views.  We are staying in the Bluebird Mountain Hostel, which is a dank little hostel located across the valley.  The winding, single-lane road up to the hostel has hair-raising turns. And there is no Internet there, forcing us off the matrix.  Most of the crew is fine with it, except for Durtschi, who is trying to pass Sage with the most followers on instagram. 

      The Hostel is cozy, quaint and now smelly because our crew of nine has taken it over.  Luckily, we have been able to wash our clothes, but have to dry them outside in the mountain air, due to no dryer, which I think is awesome.   The crew running the hostel is amazing, and have given us the best food and coffee we‘ve seen all trip.  To give you an idea of the vibe here, the crew is using the money they make from this hostel, to start a surf hostel. 

      We arrived to some clear skies, and steadily warming temperatures.  We have been able to get some cold snow on and off the resort.  The mountain has all types of terrain from lines, to mini golf to rollers, allowing us to get into all types of skiing, which we have.  We attacked the mountain as soon as possible knowing that warm weather was on the way.  We have shot some jumps and lines, but have come to a holding pattern due to warming and clouds. 

      The weather is calling for a good amount of snow, so now we wait for the flakes.

  • Mike Riddle rides Baldface, Br Mike Riddle rides Baldface, British Columbia with The North Face

    • From: media-75233
    • Description:

      When I got the invite to head out to Nelson BC and visit Baldface Lodge with The North Face team and the TGR crew I could not have been more excited! I flew in on the tiniest little plane into the smallest airport ever (Trail BC)... I swear thats how travel should be; there wasn't even a security screen to get on the plane!

      After a quick stop at Mickey D's to fuel up we headed straight to the airstrip in Nelson... the crew so far was Ross Baker, Todd, Dustin and myself and we jumped in the heli (first time ever! Whoot Whoot!!) and made our way up to the lodge. It was literally like 7 or 8 minutes and we went from full-on summer golfing weather to like 15 feet of snow on the roofs... which was causing havoc for some of the structures up there.

      The first day we went and checked out the features... the 100ft jump was in the sickest location on a ridge at the peak with the most picturesque backdrop you've ever seen but it was a little sketchy in that you couldn't get the speed without a snowmobile tow-in so we made the decision to re-push it and make it a lil safer. The it was on to the quarter pipe (QP) which was looking epic but needed a lil hand shaping... the first day was all about dialing in the features anyway. After a long day of shaping we gave er' a go and it was determined that we would need to build some tombstones in order to increase the vert in order to boost so that became the goal for the next day. We then retired to the lodge to enjoy some of the best food ever! We were living like kings!

      The next day we perfected the QP with a lot of hard work from "The Homies" and all learned the value of sunscreen even though it was full-on greybird. When we got back to the lodge it was late afternoon and Wallisch had arrived and we were all developing cabin fever so we decided to hit the Hip-jump in front of the lodge. I took it super mellow because the next day was looking like a big day on the QP but Wally and Ross got down for a quick session and got some shots!

      The next day was gorgeous out and after another 6 am breakfast (earliest morning May Park-shoot ever haha) we were out at the QP by just after 7 and after some final shaping it was game on! The newly arrived Phantom cam (which shoots up to 1000 frames per second and is valued at around $150000) was set-up and the crew was filtering in (I believe DCP and Lucas had arrived the night before) and it was game-time! After hitting it a few times I realized this was not going to be a walk-in-the-park... QP's are definitely different from halfpipes and I hadn't hit one in at least 2 years... needless to say it took some getting used to. Everyone ended up having a blast and we had a long session and went about as big as was possible on it... also messed around with some handplants which actually ended up being some of the coolest shots - the Phantom makes even the simplest stuff look sooooo cool!

      Unfortunately, on his last hit of the night Ross sent it a little too big and decked out hard... tweaking his ankle and taking him out for the rest of the trip... props to him for sending it tho! That night pretty much the rest of the crew arrived... Kaitlyn, Blake, Sage, Dylan, Carter... we had a sick crew of athletes and the best film/photo crew as well! We kept playing the waiting game on the "XL Jump" as it had to be rebuilt and decided to do another session on the QP for all the athletes that had just shown up... I decided to help build a interesting little tree jib instead of hitting the QP again and from the other side of the mountain we could hear the heli spinning laps shooting the QP with DCP, Carter, Kaitlyn, Blake, Dylan and Lucas; I got a lil jelous haha.

      Over the next couple days we had to deal with inclement weather putting us on hold and had to make use of whatever windows we could... sessions went down on the hip jump and fun little jib features were built, pool tables were seshed, darts were thrown (I think Wallisch and I had a combined 50+ games of darts/pool over a couple days), beer flowed like wine, and beautiful girls flocked like the salmon of capistrano. We went out and hit the tree jibs that had been built and got some shots there, we had two side by side jibs built and i think the stars of that session were definitely Wallisch, Blake and Sage.

      Then on the day I had to leave, we were blessed with several inches of new snow... pow day on May 17th?!?! I think so!! We packed up the Phantom cam and made some pow slashes, pillow bonks, tree taps, and all around cool looking stuff! Using that camera in the BC on snow days is quite the production but I am more than confident that it will be worth it in the end! On my very last hit on my last feature I had a scary moment... I did a lil 360 and got punched forward on landing into some trees... I hit the back of my neck/top of my back on the stump and heard a crack (looking back it was probably just a branch) but ended up being ok... just a couple days of being real sore, I got lucky!

      Overall it was an awesome trip and I'm really glad I got to go. Big shout-outs to The North Face and TGR for making it happen, all the staff at Baldface for being some of the raddest people out there and all the other athletes that were there! I had a blast, and can't wait to do it again!!

      Story & Photos by Pete O'Brien

         Last year at this time Dylan Hood, Dash Longe, and Marc Andre Belliveau were nearing the end of a sled trip when they ran into a natural hip jump feature.  They decided it would be a worthy enough hit to stay and build, so we extended our stay.

         April 30, 2008

            Today we took an alternative route back home over a hidden pass which took us to a treeless, high plateau with rolling features and natural windlips.  One of the windlips had good enough speed to hit as a hip jump.  But it's going to be a big build.  It was getting late and everything was buried in shadows so we made a plan to come back and check it out tomorrow.

         May 1, 2008

            Down day.  Whiteout.  The crew watched Anchorman, and Big Lebowski, played Excitebike, and chopped wood.

         May 2, 2008

            Cloudy and snowy.  We started making the lip of the jump today.  The cornice wall is so steep that it's hard to keep the snow up there.  We had bad weather all day until the very end.  Making the sidewalk for the runway was hard because everything was so white and you couldn't tell if it was the right trajectory.  We might need to modify the runway so it points more towards the landing.

            After digging we cruised back to the cabin for a recharge then went for an evening sled ride.  We got out there just in time to watch the sun break through the clouds before it set.

         May 3, 2008

            Big time runway build.  We ended up making the runway a little too head on to the cornice wall yesterday so we had to fix that.  Dylan and Dash started out by hitting strait airs.  They figured out that the landing was smoother and longer the further out they went.  Marc got up on the deck and did some filming from up there about the time Dash stomped a big cork 810.  Dylan started floating bigger and bigger flat spins until about the fourth one where he scared everyone including himself by maxing out the air and miraculously landing it.  Dash got a rodeo and then the shadows started to roll in.  A+ day today : )

         May 2, 2009

            Right now we're in a weather/build/protect pattern on a similar hit that Tanner and Dash are stoked to session once the clouds part.  We're hoping for tomorrow.

       

      Caution: It's raining skiers

      **Sometime we rope off the landings to prevent sledders from tracking it out. For the most part they are super cool about it.**
