Cover story – Brant (SE)

Ended up on the cover of Swedish ski mag Brant‘s latest issue. Guess the front page is pretty much the high score of the ski photography game, well maybe after a giant billboard right across the street from the School of the Swedish Bikini Team. … Stoked.

Telemark Freeheel mount location for Obsethed

Allright all my forward tip eating telemark friends. Chances are, if you’ve mounted your newly polished Obsethed skis in the alpine location you’re too far forward…..DAMN! If you haven’t yet drilled, you’re in luck. I found this mount position to be just forward enough to have a fully active ski without feeling like I was going over the… Read more »
