As you guys know am I back in the school, studiing medical massage up here in davos.
It's prety cool, but i have so much to learn that i can't be fluently on snowboard.com checking my new messages and posts.
However, i hope you all enjoy your winter and get out riding as much as you can.

started studing medical massage here in davos and don't have anymore that much time to go riding or doing other sh*t...
however, i love it, only the learning and spare time to go riding is a bit hard for me, but i will get used to it 
beside that, i'm still waiting for the upcoming season and the season opening here in davos (12. november is jackobshorn opening...)
can't wait to do the first big powderturns of the season
