Black frOm russia..

russia is big. but that´s not the only thing I noticed in those 2 weeks I was there. tOgether with my partner in snow, Sveinborg - I spent mOst of the time in a small valley in the Caucasus mountains. I will write some random short stories in the coming weeks, since I don´t like reading too long postes myself.
Basically, what we did was fly to mOscow - fly to the caucasus mountains the day after, got dumped into a little hotel at the foot of mt. Elbrus, where we found one english speaking mountain guide to help us get some basic idea of whats what and where.


Now, what does one do in in order to meet some people and get down with the natives? Why not join the national freeride cup? anyone can just ski down a little hill and throw themselves off some cliffs - an ideal way to meet russias leading team of freeriders and ski/snow-enthusiasts!
So, Sveinborg and I entered the competition (we found out when we got there that it was on the same time we were there) and instantly - we were friends with local freeride/heliskiguides that took us all over the place and were ready to party with us anytime. "sadly" - I missed the semi-final of the cup, because we were heliskiing that day - that´s why I didn´t come home with a medal..
But the heliskiing was amazing - will put out some photos very very soon along with a little helistory. until then - PAKA : CAPA
