Photoshoot in Les Arcs

The foot still hurts, but I really wanted to check out Les Arcs, so I decided to go anyway. In Les Arcs I met up with photographer Anders Ödman and skier Viktor Hägglund, who arrived in LA a few days earlier. A friend of mine, Thibauld Duchosal (who just took third place at the first world tour stop in Sochi, Russia) , was going to show us around. Thibaud grew up in Les Arcs and know the place like the back of his hand, so the setup couldn't get much better. But unfortunately heavy clouds were covering LA the whole weekend, so we couldn't do any of the long famous runs above the treeline. And my foot was still hurting pretty bad. But we got some descent photos which probably will be published in an article about Les Arcs in Åka Skidor this coming winter.

There were some nice pillows in the trees.


Can you tell who's french. A tip is to look at our heads... Thibaud showed us around his home resort.

Anders is shooting from the lift.

Time to pack up. Next stop will be Grimentz.
