Lazy Swiss Sunday – First Ski Tour
In the winter of 2008 I bought a pair of NAXO N02 touring bindings, a pair of Atomic skis, Black Diamond skins, a BCA avalanche beacon, Black Diamond probe…ready to realize my ski touring dream. Dreams take time though, they need to develop over time, especially something like touring. I hadn’t been on skis in like three years and I wasn’t in the avalanche dodging mood.

Pizol is one of those all-inclusive winter sport places. Naturally I also packed along my Ricoh GR Digital, that fantastic high-quality compact digital camera that just fits in your pack, to matter what mountain you’re heading up.

He captures the beauty of reality, while I try to do anything but. We had two ideas in mind, one as an experimental action image, and would then go do some reality based shots.

Lazy Swiss Sunday – Bos Fulen
10,000 years ago, in the hunter-gatherer sense of our history, moving and beating the body to it’s core was needed for survival, so it is no surprise that some humans are not yet evolved enough sit in an office every day.
Bös Fulen is neither incredibly difficult, nor is deceptively easy to summit. It’s the mountain [...]
