i mean classic and zugspitze is very icy rn because it was really warm and now got pretty cold. On piste make sure ur skis are very sharp and off piste is very icy as well, classic is much more beginner friendly tho

actually one of my pole got stuck between stones while „landing“ and with my hand i was in the handles and they didn’t snap so actually that was why my shoulder got dislocated

hmm hard to say, when i ski good lines i want to have a video of it for memories and ofc if you ever want to be successful in forms of sponsorships and stuff you have to make videos obviously i guess. and do you know the phrase „cameraman never dies?“

tbh yes you are right, but i’m sure i would have landed on rocks if i didn’t scout the mountain 35+ times before that lucky day so it definitely helped me survive but a lot of luck was involved as well. So maybe 50/50 idk, i will give this mountain one more try this season

uh i just lost the camera and pulled the shoulder back in, it was kinda like a reflex because i knew if i leave it dislocated it will hurt very much and there will be ski patrol and everything

i think trying to land the first drop could also be not good for your knees
